Turning off Google Desktop for limited user accounts

My new Gateway PC w/Windows XP has Google Desktop installed, which I like and
don't wish to uninstall. But I've found that if I create a user account that
is Limited, Google Desktop will not load for that user and will keep
generating error messages that you can't stop without terminating the process
with Ctrl-Alt-Del. Is there a way to set up the new user accounts to not run
Google Desktop on startup? I don't want to have to create all new accounts
as Administrator - that is the only way Google Desktop works. I also don't
wish to completely uninstall Google. Thanks for any help.

I'm not sure how Google Desktop loads, but if it's in the All Users startup
folder, move it from there, to your own Startup folder.
