Moving CP to shared area in XP for other users

Hi,

When I bought my new laptop and had Windows XP for the first time (XP Pro), I installed CP for the first time. I let it install to where it defaulted.

I set up a new account for my partner as a limited user as don't want to give them administrator rights! He tried to open CP from his account and couldn't as he didn't have the rights to run the program. I logged back into my account and had a look at the program and the help says to move it to the sharded folder. So I dragged the 'Sony' folder which contains CP and CP autoupdates etc and it went mental and started trying to install something and do things, couldn't really work it out, so I can't really explain what it was doing but it was scarey! Then I couldn't open connect player at all and kept getting tinyhttp.exe errors. I then tried to move it all back and it didn't like that either. Eventually I managed to get it back to how it was. I think the problem may have been something to do with the connect autoupdate as I guess this was running in the background and maybe because I'd had CP open that day so soemthing was still running but that's a guess.

Can anyone advise what I need to do to make this program shared?

Do I just need to log on to my pc, close down the auto update by exiting it from the task tray and then move the program to the shared area? Should this work? Will I need to update shorctuts and stuff?

Or is it a case of uninstalling CP and reinstalling it to the shared area? I'd rather not do that as I have everything right in my library and both our players synchronized etc!

Cheers
