When one person logs in the information for that person is updated in the current_user registry area.

This reply may also be in the dark...however, are you aware that you must use the add/remove programs from control panel when installing applications for TS. A use Windows 2000 beta 3, and had installed applications like MS office before installing TS (TS is a service in windows 2000). I could only execute one copy at a time. I had to remove MS office and reinstall using add/remove now that TS was installed. Instructions in a window tell you how to proceed. It will modify the registry for multiusers (don't know what it actually changes).

I think this also applies to NT4, but I'm unsure.

Hope I was of some help...
