This topic is for Network Administrators. If you are not a network administrator with knowledge of setting up a network and settings, do not try this yourself is it is an unsupported feature.

 

A few notes first:

 

1) If you are using Windows XP home, this does not apply to you because Windows XP home does not include multi-user mode.

 

2) If you are using Windows XP without any service packs, please upgrade to WIndows XP-SP3 to use multi-user mode.

 

3) This is valid only for multi-user networking. If you are using Windows XP Professional, Vista or Windows 7, multi-user single-computer mode is already enabled.

 

A network administrator can set PayWindow to use a shared folder for the tax tables. You will need to be made aware when changes occur to the tax tables so you can reinstall them for your network users. *XP computer Administrators should have the knowledge to set this up without the Windows 7 screen shots and instructions seen on this page. At the bottom of this article we have a note from an Administrator that was working with older XP computers.

 

The tax table are normally installed in a sub-folder of the local user's My Documents folder. The sub-folder is named "PayWindow Tax Files". In the image below, we have two Windows open, the top one is the public folder on your server or a selected computer that all users on the network have access to. The bottom one is a local users tax file folder as described above. Drag and drop the "PayWindow Tax Files" folder from the local machine to the shared "Public" folder as seen and drop the folder to copy to the shared folder.

 

 

One that is done, double click to open the folder so you can see the tax tables inside like below:

 

 

Then to get the path that will be needed for the PayWindow Registry entry click in the white area to the right of the path displayed like seen below:

 

 

That will select the path as seen below so you can copy it.

 

 

Then using RegEdit Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE --> SOFTWARE --> ZPAY --> PayWindow and open the InstallTax registry item and paste in the path obtained above.

 

Note: You may need to add a trailing backslash "\" to the entry in the registry if it is not shown as the above example.

 

The results would look similar to this when done:
