I have two user accounts on my laptop running Vista. I have recently
installed itunes v7.6.2.9 and the libray shows on my user account
(adminstrator) but not on my daughters account - itunes is there but not the
library. Can any anyone point me in the right direction to help me sort this
out. thanks

I believe if you want to share the library, you'll need to put it (and the
iTunes Music) in the Public folder. That is the equivalent of Shared
Documents in XP. There is an option in iTunes to set your default directory
where you want it.

Thanks for that - thought it would be something easy - just getting my head
round Vista after using Xp and 98 for years!
