Is it possible to run a program (same instance) across multiple accounts? For example, if user A starts a program, locks the computer, then user B logs into their account and picks up where user A left off.

Is there a way to load a program as it is already being run in a different account?

No you can't do what you are trying to do, the program running will be shown only under the other user as well as the progress it's at.
Now you can run the same program under different user accounts, provided that the program does not lock files.

I was able to run the same web browser when doing a "switch user" on a computer before many times, so I know that the system won't as a rule prevent you from running the same program under different user accounts.
