If your computer is running Windows 98 Second Edition or Windows Millennium Edition (Me), all users of the computer share a single Media Library database. This means that the digital media files, skins, visualizations, and plug-ins that you copy, download from the Internet, or download from subscription services on the Internet are available to all users of that computer in a single Media Library database.
By default, computers running Windows 2000, Windows XP Home Edition, or Windows XP Professional have separate Media Library databases for each user account. However, the contents of your Media Library may be viewed and accessed by the other users of the computer if they add files to Media Library by searching the computer. Users can also view your digital media content by using Windows Explorer.
On computers running the Windows 2000, Windows XP Home Edition, or Windows XP Professional operating systems, ratings, play counts, playlists, and auto playlists are also associated with your user account. For example, if you and your spouse log onto the same computer by using different user accounts, the ratings, play counts, playlists, and auto playlists shown in your Media Library reflect only your usage, and not your spouse's.
Because Media Library and some Player features are associated with your user account, any media information you edited, such as the artist name and song title, appears in your Media Library only. This is also true for any skins, visualizations, and plug-ins that you download.
