    I have installed Parallels on my new mac pro - so far so good. I have multiple accounts set up on my mac, and want to only install xp once, instead of in each user's documents folder. Is there a way I can do this? The usual install puts xp in the documents folder of the user logged in - obviously when the other users log in they can't access the documents folder of another user. I have a second hard drive installed - can I have parallels install it there and point all of the users to the folder where xp is?
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    I did just as directed and have had no problems with my new mac pro running 10.5.2 with parallels build 5584.
    good luck!
