Windows 7 and multiple users

In the past, I have created second user configurations using a second data directory and a copy of notes.ini that pointed to the new directory. I would create a shortcut the pointed to the correct ini file (notes.exe ={path-to-new-inifile}). I have this working on Windows versions up to XP.

Recently, I was working with a tech that was trying to do this on a Windows 7 (64 bit) PC and it complained that Domino server was already running. It seemed like a permission issue on the copy of the ini file because if he modified the existing ini to point to the new directory, it worked fine. Pointing to the new ini generated error even if that file pointed to original data directory.

Tech said the permissions on the new ini file matched those of original. The workaround was to locate new ini file in another directory, but that's not optimal.

Could this have been due to it being 64 Bit Windows, or just a general issue on Win7? Any advice on how to implement two users on the same PC?
