each win 7 user has it's own xp mode VM. So any config changes to the
app would need to be made on each VM. But I think you can customize a VM
and copy it to the other users Virtual PC installs.

It’s not really a performance issue—the application works regardless
of who you’re logged into the host machine as. But as you look at
certain configuration settings in the app, they’re different depending
on what user is logged into the host.
I could go into a little more detail, but didn’t want to bore everyone
to tears. :-)

Totally not NT-related, but maybe someone can answer.
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?
