When i tried to run OpenOfficePortable3.1 on Windows2003stdR2 with terminal server, the first user can do everything he need - open documents, edit, save and close them. When second user trying to start OpenOfficePortable (first user is still opened OO) - he receiving error message (OO cannot find settings or OO recommend to recover file, which is opened by first user). I tried to edit parameter SettingsDirectory in OpenOfficePortable.ini, but it didn't help me: I tried to replace "Data\settings" to "%userprofile%\Data\settings" or "d:\soft\oo\%username%\Data\settings" (all needed folder was created). Please tell me - how to avoid this problem (installing full OO is not a good idea)?

Hi ildary. Unfortunately, portable apps do not support what you are trying to do. Only one user may use an app at a time. There is no workaround. You should use the local version of apps like OpenOffice.org, Firefox, Thunderbird, Sunbird, etc to accomplish what you want because the portable versions will not work.
