Windows Vista User Access Control

Hi,
I have installed Windows Vista Ultimate (64-bit)on my PC and made three user accounts. One is Admin (A) another is Family (F) and third is Temporary Account (T).
T and F are normal users while I myself use account A which is Admin Type Account. I installed all the 32-bit and 64-bit application using Account A. When I logged in using F or T account some programs appear correctly and user can run them but some of them appear only in my program list (Start Menu) and if other user try to run them they ask for admin permission.
I understand that some programs are unsafe for everyone to run but there are some other programs that I want everyone to run and have permission to run but this is not happening.
If any of you know how to resolve this issue please let me know. I am giving an example to make you understand whats going on.

I have installed four application:
1. Photoshop
2. Flash Get
3. Matlab
4. Microsoft Office

Admins can run all these and thats fine.
I want other users to run Photoshop, Flashget and Matlab as well. but they are only able to run Microsoft Office which appears in their program list.
Matlab appears to be running fine but does not appear in program list. For Photoshop When I installed it asked me if I need it to be installed for all users and i selected yes so it is appearing in the list but doesnot run unless I give permission on each run which is annoying. Flashget didn't ask me and not even appeared in the list and non-admins cant run it. So this is a big issue as other users need to download things through FlashGet.

Many Thanks for reading all this and do say whatever you know.
Every Little helps
