    The Lanwench is right on about needing to know the version of Office,
    as Office 2000 was in some ways fairly brain-dead about running as
    a plain user.

    Other than that you mostly answered your own question when you said
    > change permissions without breaking the whole thing
    IOW, you are changing the memberships of the accounts, so in order to
    keep from breaking things you need to make sure that the permissions
    on them grant Users group what is needed instead of only granting to
    Administrators group.
    For a shortcut this would be both the shortcut lnk itself and what it
    targets.
