Installing Programs

I'm setting up a new computer for my Church's office (XP Pro).
As well as the administrator there are 3 limited accounts.
I'd like to know how XP decides if a program I install as Administrator can
be seen by other users. Some installs seem limited to the Administrator
account others to all. Can the choice be changed?

A related question occurs with MS Powertoys TweakUI. I installed this as
Administrator & it is visible there & from the limited accounts BUT the one
option I really wanted, turning of the shortcut arrow on the desktop
shortcut icons, is not present on the limited accounts.

Any advice would be appreciated

TIA
