Workshop: Install programs from any Windows user account

You know the drill: you’ve sensibly set up your children with limited or standard user accounts in Windows for reasons of security and safety, but hardly a moment goes by when an ankle-biter isn’t asking you to install a game or other program.

The obvious course of action is to sit down and log out of the child’s account, and then log into your own, enabling you – as an Administrator – to install the program for your child. That’s bad enough but, if you’re given the option, you have to install the program for everyone on the PC, regardless of whether or not you want it cluttering up your user account. Thankfully there’s an easier way to install programs for your children.
