IT sounds as if you only need to get NTFS permissions
back to a known config state. This should help in Pro
Restore XP to installation Security Defaults
for Pro see: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=313222
If you renamed/deleted things within the profiles this is
not going to adjust for that.
On the running of apps that are illbehaved, this may help
Run programs as Limited/Restricted accounts
This is commonly seen from applications that fail to meet the Windows
Certification requirements.
Some apps make use of calls that are no longer supported, and for
these use of the application compatibility tool may help.
Beyond that, the first thing to try is to grant the Users group modify on
the area where the application has installed, usually a folder within
Program Files.
If this is insufficient, then very often one or both of the next increased
grants to Users group helps
1. some folder outside of the app install point where
attempts are made to create temp files or specific
files such as the app's self-installed ini file in the
Windows dir structure
2. the registry keys of the application
The regmon and filemon tools from www.sysinternals.com can help one
determine what accesses are being attempted but are denied to Users only
accounts.
