I'm asking specifically about the latest safe MC 12 running on Vista, but an XP solution would help too. I have an Administrator account that I use sometimes and a Vista Standard User account that I use most of the time. It sets up separate folders under C:\users\user_name\.... just like XP does under the Documents and Settings folder. So you XP users solution might work for me also.
I sometimes install software using the Standard User account and UAC prompts me for the Administrator account's password then continues. So I'm not sure which account I used to initially setup MC 12. I do know when I installed the latest version I downloaded it from the Sticky link and installed under the Administrator's account. I also picked a different interface skin than what I was seeing using the Standard account which like I said is where I usually use MC 12. When I logged back in under the Standard account I saw the new version, but the old skin. The library there was different too. That's when I started searching the c:\users\... folders and found the multiple MC 12 sub-folders.
I really DO NOT want the separate folders/settings, but want one shared setup. This way whenever I make changes to the library, or skins, or whatever from either account they carry-over to the other account. So is there any way in Vista, or even XP, to have multiple user accounts share the same MC 12 library/settings/etc.?
