When I install programs(games)for my kids as the
Administrator they are not able to run them when they log
on with their limited account. They will only work if
they log on with my or my wife's Administrator account.
Is there a way to change this?

Thanks in advance.

-- Most applications weren't designed for this type of multi-user
environment.
Such applications need to be installed in each specific user's account to
whom you wish to grant access.

First, be sure the account to which you wish to grant access is set to
administrator and not limited. Install the applications to the same folder
in which it was originally installed. This will look the same as one
install on your hard drive but create the pointers necessary for this user
to have access to the application.

Once the installation is complete, you can return the account to its limited
status if that is what you want and the user should still have access.
