>>>Borrowing an idea from someone else, you could use a table containing valid logins. When you add a person to the login table you would create a subdirectory (possibly matching the user's initials) and copy the default resource file to that directory. Then when a person logs in just use the resource file in his/her subdirectory. This way the user will always have his/her last preferences saved and no problems with extra files if a lock up occurs.

The key is to install exe locally and you shouldn't care about resource file sharing: every user will have own one.
