XP pro rights

Once again I turn to the tfp community in need of assistance.

[STORY]
We have a family computer at our house (yes I still live with my parents, something I hope to rectify soon) with Windows XP Professional. I tried my hardest to get them to use Linux, but they hardly know how a mouse works so I kinda let it slide.
Anyway, I installed XP pro and set up accounts for everybody, my mom, dad and lil sis. I set myself as mod and the others as plain users, didn't want them snooping around.
[/STORY]

[PROBLEM]
Now I have a problem, my dad uses a piece of software that requires administrative rights (lord knows why) and my sis needs administrative rights to access a chat site (ugh) that runs a Java applet (www.tmf.nl, the chat area).
[/PROBLEM]

[QUESTION]
So does anyone know how to grant a user administrative rights on one program and one website only? Surely there must be a way... I've been looking but I can't find anything.
I really don't like the idea of my dad and my sis (my sis doesn't even have a passw and likes to swap nice lil progs with her friends ) having admin rights.
