Make multiple users share the same account/directory

[MIPS]

I found out the reason my laptop and desktop would not play nice with remote desktop was because of my biometric support being angry about fingerprint scanners not being present at remote systems.
I can get around this by logging in with another account however because I can set it to not require biometric authentication.
Problem is that a new user means a new desktop (and My documents, and everything else) and profile which takes up space and means I can get files mixed up between accounts.
Do I just have to make the accounts I want link just point to the same profile path and/or home folder path? (C:/Documents and Settings/John)

Edit: Of course, after I post this I realize I can just put shortcuts all over the fucking place and put the second account int he Admin group but would that work?

You could try out [url]http://wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS_symbolic_link[/url]

It is really simple to set up and I use it to link stuff to my Dropbox folder. I'm not sure if this is what you meant by shortcuts, but if you try this and it works, without giving the other user administrative rights, let me know.

That's essentially what I did in the end.
