Parrallels and multi accounts

[imanoone2u]

I'm sorry if this has been covered in this forum, however I could not find it in the search.

My machine has 4 accounts.

I've installed Parrallels on my apple G5 core-duo OS X10 desktop and installed windows XP SR2.

The problem is that window only show in the account where I'd installed it...

Do I need to install windows in each account separately?
and will I then need to do the same for programs such as office etc?
( I read the post where it is explained that you can have windows on multi accounts on one machine providing they are not used at the same time)

Thank you

I would like to know this as well... I have 4 user account as well... They each set-up with parallels, but each installed separately. They are set-up as follows... each with 8GB of space (it quickly adds up to 48GB).. I would love to load each OS just once and "share" them between users...

User 1 (admin) Parallels= XP and ubuntu 6.06
User 2 (admin) Parallels= XP and ubuntu 6.10
User 3 (admin) Parallels= ubuntu 6.10
User 4 (user) Parallels= edubuntu 6.10 (for the kids)

Any help with "sharing" Parallels between users???

OK, so i see i'm not the only one... just got my new iMac 20 and trying to set up Parallels and BootCamp for my wife's CAD and design stuff.
what i did was give open control (read & write) to all users for the parallels file in the Applications, then installed the winxp.hdd and .pvs in that folder - so all users could get to it. but before i could test my theory, i moved something i shouldn't have, and now not even the first install will work. and being 3:30 in the morning, i was down for the count...

but never fail, i shall prevail!! i'm going to reinstall XP to the Apps Parallels folder, and try to get the other users to access it. in theory, it should work... i'm still too new to mac's, so everything is theory right now...

updates later!
