yep that is the trouble i had with multiple users on the win98 computer had to install it on each users desktop even though i had installed it on the default desk top which in win98 was the admin one.
just one thing though
you will have to update all the playlists for it on each desktop also. if you do it on one it will also, or might not update the list on the other desk top?
i just stopped using multiple users found it best to keep the computer cleaned that way. as i also had to run every update from windows update on each desktop and had to do the registry cleaning on each desktop.
what i am saying is i had to do all maintance ( scan disk defragmenting ... etc. etc. ) for the computer one time for each user Every time i did maintance.
cause windows was treating each desktop like a different computer. and believe me that gets to be long and boring with a lot of users.
you say you have winxp they at ms said they had this problem fixed in winxp but you say it is still there.
thanks a bunch as i will now not set up multiple users on this xp. saved me a lot of headache
