XP home user access to programs

1.XP Home: user access to programs

We are using winXP Home in a laboratory, so we have a single admin and a 
single user to all students.
When I install programs like Irfanview, they ask me whether I wanted to make 
it available only to the admin or to all users. Others, although compatible 
with winXP, don't, and when the students log in, they cannot access some of 
them. This is the case of the scanner manager (scan manager, genius, 
kyescan.exe, returns the message that it is "unable to find the necessary 
registries") and Curriculo Lattes (returns message that "cannot load the mdb 
file or you don't have permission to view these data"). 
I believe this is a matter of repositioning the programs in the registry; 
how do I do that?

3.Need help setting up a new user and limiting program access in XP Home

We have a computer at work that has multiple users, but only one user
identity at
the moment.  I would like to set up a new user and set it up so that
certain programs already installed on the computer can only be accessed by
the new identity.  Other programs we would like accessed by both identities.

We are using XP Home and have not yet upgraded to SP2.

Can someone point me to a simple walkthrough of this process?  Thanks!

4.Multiple User Program Access in Windows XP Home

As the administrator, I successfully dowloaded and 
installed Adobe Acrobat Reader 6.0 on my own log-in on a 
multiple user "Windows XP Home" system, in "C:\Program 
Files\Adobe\Acrobat 6.0\", but I am unable to set up 
access to the program from the other users log-ins.

I tried dragging the "Adobe\Acrobat 6.0\" program/files 
to "Shared Documents" and setting up short-cut(s) on the 
other XP users Desktops to launch the program from there, 
but all I get when I try to launch the program from the 
short-cut on the Desktop, or from their "Programs" 
profile, is a "Microsoft Journal Viewer" Dialog Box 
message that "The feature you are trying to use is on a 
network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try 
again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing 
the installation package 'Microsoft Journal Viewer.msi' 
in the box below ... Use Feature from:" ... which I 
cannot locate to run/install/launch the program, and I 
have to terminate the above Dialog Box by launching the 
Task Manager, and ending the program. It won't respond 
properly to the "Cancel" buttons.

I've tried to find the answer in the Windows XP "Help" 
files, and I've tried all the other locations I can think 
of to point the short-cuts to, to launch the program, but 
I am unable to figure this out.

Can anyone help me?

Thank you.

5.Access to programs for all users (XP Home)

Gibbo,

In windows explorer, find the shortcut to the program you want others to
access and place a copy in that person's corresponding folder. You can also
use the "All Users" folder.
Same goes in Pro.
