Can different users on the same machine access Office 2003

[chartguy]

I've set up my system (Windows XP Home edition) with two
user logons; one for myself (full administration rights)
and a guest user logon. I installed Microsoft Office
Edition 2003 when logged on under my regular user name.
However, when I switch to my guest user, I'm unable to run
any of the Office Edition 2003 applications (Excel, Word,
Outlook).

Therefore my question is this, do I need to change some
settings, and if so, which ones while logged on as
administrator to allow access to the application when
logged on as a guest user?, or do I need to install Office
Edition 2003 while logged on as a guest user ?

Hello,

No, you don't need to... the problem is user level... for office to install
correctly without any problems you should give administrative level
temporarily to the other account and after start all applications including
outlook, you can then revert the user to guest level... As for your question
yes you can have multiple user on same machine...

According to the Windows XP help menu and my Windows XP
for Idiots book I can only make 2 changes to the
standard "guest account"; change the picture, or turn
off/on the guest account.

Can you elaborate and provide more detail on how I can
change the account type of the standard guest account?

Is my other option to turn of the standard guest account,
and create my own "guest account" with administrator
privileges ?

Thanks for help. I was able to amend the guest user status
to administrative level by typing "control userpasswords2"
in the run field. This command opens up a dialog box that
allows one to change statuses.
