Enable applications for new user account

We have a new Vista Business PC with a single administrative user account,
which has access to several applications including Word and Excel. We would
like to add a new Standard user and enable them to use the same set of
applications. Unfortunately, when we add the new user account, it only has
access to a handful of basic applications and not the full set we would like.
How do we give this Standard user access to Office and the other
applications the admin has?

Thanks

If you only have one User Account and it has administrative rights the user
should have access to ALL applications, not just some.
If you want the 2nd User Account to have the same access give that account
administrative rights also. Don't make it a Standard account. Just becuse
the account has adminstrative rights doen't mean the user has any
administrative responsibilities just the same access rights.
