A user setting / application question

We have a Windows 2000 Server domain. We added a second user to a computer
(created a user account in AD) and tried to recreate as much of the first
user environment as possible - copied over desktop settings, my documents,
etc. from User #1 to User #2.

There is an old program that User 1 has access to, and User 2 needs access
to it, as well. It's a medical billing software which uses a database on a
shared folder on the server. Basically, you just point the program to the
file and it works. However, for some reason when we open the program while
logged
in as User 2, we cannot get the program to recognize and open the data.
It's as if it simply doesn't see it.

The software company no longer provides support. So, my question is: Where
is the information stored that makes it work correctly for User 1? And, can
we copy over that information to get it to work for User 2?

I apologize if this is a half-baked question or idea. I just don't know
what else to do. We don't even have the installation disk.

That's really an application specific question. To get everything from the
old user profile to the new, uset the "file and settings transfer wizard"
(fastwiz) from the Windows XP CD. Also, look to see what local groups the
domain account that works is a member of. and be sure the new user is a
member of the same groups (local groups and domain groups).
