Description

### Comment:

Hi,
I've installed mamba-forge on my user folder on Windows10. Now, I have to dismiss such user and use a new one, but I would like to maintain my environments without the need to reinstall everything from scratch. In other words, I have folder1=C:/.../user1/.../miniforge3/ . Then, I created folder2=C:/miniforge3/, which is the copy of the orginal folder1. Now I'd like to use it with a different user2

I have several questions:
1) how can I launch mamba prompt from user2?
2) if I can open the prompt, does it run in relative or absolute path? In the latter case, I think I have solved my problems ;-)
3) in the former case, I should reinstall miniforge3. Then, can I copy-paste my old environments in the new envs folder?

Thank you for helping
