Application sharing between Win9x and Windows NT

It's possible to have a computer that dual boots between Windows 95/98 and Windows NT, but since they don't share the same registry, applications must be installed twice - once for each operating system. The best way to go about this is to install the application twice to the same directory - once while booted to Windows 95/98 and once while booted to Windows NT. This will duplicate the .dll files and update the registry in both operating systems while just having one set of .exe files. However, you can't install the applications in a partition that has been formatted with NTFS or FAT32.
