Limited User in XP needs access rights to EXE file--Only Admin can open

I had configured my "stand-alone" computer running MS XP
Professional to operate under one account with
administrative rights. Then I read MS's advice not to
browse on the internet using an account with administrative
rights, so I created a separate administrator account and
removed admistrator rights from my personal account.

The problem is that at least one program that I use
regularly will only open from the administrator account --
which is inconvenient.

What is the easiest way (and steps) to allow my Limited
User account to have full rights access to this program?
