    If your talking about different user profiles on the same computer, just save it into a public folder or partition where all users can access it

    I think if you make it so your account isnt "private" then you can see it on other accounts. Another option would be to make it a shared folder.

    If you put it on the root of C:\, it should allow all users access.

    I found the public folder and pasted the folder there, sucks cause it made another duplicate copy in my HD and used up more space.
    oh well, thanks
