I believe XP mode is user based. In the user profile, there will be a Virtual Machines folder which contains the VM for that specific user. If a different user logs in, they will probably have to create the XP VM as well.

We're using the Windows XP Mode feature on a Windows 7 machine to run an app that doesn't play nice with Win7. It mostly works, but with one problem: The app behaves differently depending on who we're logged into the host computer as. I'm sure I'm totally misunderstanding how XP Mode works, but I don't get how this is possible. I wouldn't think it would matter who you were logged into the HOST machine as-only who you were logged into the GUEST machine as. And the way it looks to me is that there's a special account on the guest machine ("xpmuser") that's used by everyone who accesses the VM, regardless of what they're logged into the host machine as. So theoretically, no matter who's logged into the host, they should see the exact same thing in the guest. But not so. Why for?
