Default sharing games between administrator and limited accounts

problem: i install a game on my administrator account and
my kids can't access it from their limited accounts.

i have an administrator account and my kids have limited
accounts. i want to be able to install games on my
account and allow my kids access to them from their
account.

does anyone know how to do this without changing the
kids' account types?

Default Re: sharing games between administrator and limited accounts

Depends on whether you're running Windows XP Pro (easier) or the Home
edition (harder). Take a look at this information, Steve:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;307091 Some of the
newer, XP-aware, programs will offer "This user only, or all users?" during
the installation.
