However, Norton and MSN Messenger etc do periodic updates, which wont install under a limited user account - but that means that every time i go over there i have to go and log in as me and update all their stuff etc.
So - i wanted to know if there was any way i can, as an admin, give rights to the limited users to allow specific programs to run updates etc.
Any ideas?

If this is not too personal a question, how old are your mum and dad?
