I created one admininstrator account and several limited accouns on a brand
new Windows XP Media Center. My goal was to prevent the limited users from
downloading/uploading anything without my permission. That works - BUT the
limited users cannot access programs that I have downloaded under the
administrator account.

Am I doing something wrong or is there a way of giving limited users access
to all programs that are on the hard drive?

You're not doing anything wrong. The problem is with the installers of the
software. MVP Rick Rogers has written a page (that includes some
workarounds) on this topic: http://www.rickrogers.org/xpsware.htm
