How can I load software into Windoze so that it is accessible to all users?

My boys got games for XMas, which I loaded into XP.  Some will run for them under their accounts but not save, some won't run at all because they don't have "administrator" privileges, etc.  Some programs work fine for everyone.

I am not about to set them up as administrators, how can I install a program once and set it to work for all users?he

I have run into this problem a couple of times.  One method that I have had success with is to temporarily grant admin privileges to the kid's account, install the program under their account, and reset the privileges afterwards.

If you don't want your boys to have administrator privileges then an option you have is set them up as "power users" they'll be able to perform some tasks but not be full admins...
