Re: limited accounts can't access programs

This really depends on the game and the application. Some require
access that is not allowed to limited accounts. You might want to add
the users to the Power Users group in the Computer Management console.
User will have this way more rights, but they will also be able to use
more apps.

Another way is much harder. You can check the files of the
applications and the registry keys they are using and assign the
appropriate permissions. This is much harder and takes much more
time...
