office XP and limited user account

[Socal]

I just installed Office XP Professional on a home PC running Windows XP Prof.
I have one administrator level acct and three limited user acct. I
installed Office in this administrator acct. Activation is done and
everything works fine in this acct. Problem is that when opening office
programs in any of the limited user acct, I see the program configures
something for a while then eventually opens. When closing or saving a file,
the same thing happens. What's interesting is that when I save a word file
for example, it's does not look like a word file. When I clicked it, Wordpad
opens it instead. However, in the administrator acct, it is assigned as a
word file and it works fine.
Reinstallation did not help. I have Norton Security 2006, but I disabled it
when I installed Office. I know someone posted the same problem a month ago.
I wonder if they have this "saved to different file" problem, too. I
remember that Microsoft tried very hard to help but no avail. Any good idea
why this happens?
Thanks.

I did what you said. I don't see questions asking for allowing all the users
to use the program. I saw "these programs are run from my computer." That's
all.
I tried to set permission for office "full control" for all the users in the
registry, but still the same problem. It's funny since in the limited user
accounts, I cannot assign the file (saved by MS Word, but opened with
Wordpad) with MS Word. I cannot locate MS Word in the folder options (file
types).
What I am going to try is that I borrow a copy from my friend and install it
on my computer see if it works. I guess it should be fine as long as I
don't activate, right? If it works, my copy of Office is defective. If
still problematic, it's my computer's fault.
