will javascript local storage propogate to other users on same windows 7 PC?

Question

I have app users that share Windows 7 PC's but will logon to their respective accounts. I would like to set some default values for each user like Employee ID. If I set a localstorage key/value pair for User A will the same localstorage key/value pair be available to User B?

Question is not about Windows but about the browser you're using. Anyway...no, local storage isn't shared across users (unless you're using some weird browser or some esotheric setup in Chrome/IE/something) — Adriano Repetti, Jan 21 '14 at 18:47

LocalStorage (in Chrome) is in the %LocalAppData% directory, which is under the user's account. Internet Explorer stores them under %userprofile% Precise location varies among browsers but is always within a user folder.

So no, LocalStorage will not propagate across users.
