Default LimeWire Basic within Limited Account in XP Home

My friends insist that their twins log on as Limited Users on their XP Home PCs because all four of their PCs are on a network and they're concerned about security. I installed several programs for them from the Admin account and they all work fine within their Limited user account - except Limewire Basic. I suppose LimeWire is trying to access something that is not allowed within a Limited user account.

I've Googled all over the place as well as in this forum and have not found a definitive answer to how they can invoke LimeWire and download music from within a Limited account. Incidentally, the program works great within the Admin account. I did find some references to using the Run As feature in XP Home. Is this the best way?

The next time I visit them, I'd like to have the means of solving this problem so I don't have to keep disappointing them.

Thanks for any help you can offer.
