Location for shared Access database

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi newsgroup!

Can anyone tell me where I should put a simple Access database file in order to be accessible for every computer in the network (same workgroup)? There does not need to be any protection (I heard people say that I should buy a dedicated server or have special rights for each and every user, but I can keep it simple since there will be no intruders - no internet connection available -).
I don't think that the "Programs" folder is the right place.
Should I just place a folder on the primary hard disk, like "C:\MySharedDatabaseFolder"?

Would that work on Vista, too?

Any help is welcome!!
Thank you for your reply,
Elton.
