How to make a program available for limited user account under XP ?

I have  a program that is working fine on XP under administrator account, the problem that I want to make program available for limited accounts.  I can make the program shortcut available for all users, but for restricted accounts they can't get it run.

Thanks for all.

You can look for the directory that contains the files for the program you with to allow access to, right click>Sharing and Security, then set users or authenticated users to allow read & execute permissions for the complete folder.

hi ,
you can try this method :

log on with the restricted account >> Start >>> Run >>> gpedit.msc
under "User configuration"  >> Administrative Templates >> System >> Logon
in the left side you will see then content of this folder
double clik on "Run these programs at user logon"  >>> enabled >>>clik "show" >>>
clik  ADD >> in the text box type name of the executable file '.exe' .
i hope that will help you
