Default Different User Accounts using LimeWire

I installed LimeWire using my Administrator account on XP and it runs great. But if i log in under a limited account (not as Administrator) i dont have LimeWire in the start menu or on the desktop.

If i copy the shortcut from the Administrators account onto the limited account i am prompted to install LimeWire. If i am in the limited account and go to Program Files\LimeWire and try and run the program from there, again it prompts me to install the application.

How can i get LimeWire onto my Limited account without having to install it again? I dont want seperate LimeWire programs in my Administrator and Limited accounts.

Thanks for your help!

You "should" be able to do what you tried. But instead of copy the shortcut, create a fresh one from the program & send it to the desktop folder & perhaps also the Start menu for the other user account.

Failing this, I 'think' you can adjust ownership/permissions of programs in one of the control panels. I'm not a windows whiz unfortunately. You can certainly create a free zone for all users via control panels.
