Default Reinstalling of XP

During a recent re-install, when prompted whether to
allow access to files by all users, I checked the "no"
box (because I suspected a guest had downloaded a virus
which caused my XP to cease functioning). Now the rest
of my family cannot access common programs in their
accounts (eg. our family e-mail account, MSN Messenger,
etc). I hold the only "Administrator" account and
presently, I have to log into my account to allow them to
check the family e-mail account. How do I re-set this so
that they have access to all the files and programs that
I have installed (i.e. outlook express, windows office,
MSN messenger, etc)?

Thank you for your help.
