I cannot think of a fully-automated way.
One possibility is to compromise the machine by granting all users
administrator privileges and access.
The other possibility would be to put the user profiles in a shared directory
or on some server in the local network. Then, each user will have to 'pull'
the data and only *then* synchronise. It's messy, but it should work. Maybe
I can come up with a better idea, so let me know how it goes. *smile*
Hope it helps,
Roy
