Playlist with multiple users

[kgold]

I have WindowsXP with multiple users. I was surprised to see that the
playlists seem global - if one user creates a playlist, all users can
see the it, even though they correctly can't get to the actual music.

Is this the usual behavior? I would have thought that each user
would have separate playlists.

Where are the playlists stored? The help talks about a My Playlists
directory, but I don't see it in Windows Explorer. I searched the
entire disk, and the registry for one of the playlist strings and came
up empty.

Do some computer vendors customize this?

WMP8 uses a single library per machine. WMP9 uses a library per user. The
playlists in WMP8 are stored in the library - in WMP9, they're stored on
disc under the My Playlists directory underneath the My Music folder.
