## Architecture of Docker Desktop for Windows
6
+
7
+
8
+
Docker CLI running on the host machine executes commands within the Docker Integration Package, which runs on the remote WSL VM.
9
+
10
+
DockerD runs directly within WSL so there's no need for the Hyper-V VM and all Linux containers run within the Linux userspace on Windows for improved performance and compatibility.
By default, Docker Desktop is installed at the following location:

```
22

C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker

## Que:1 Is it possible to share containers and images between user accounts?
36
+
37
+
Containers and images created with Docker Desktop are shared between all user accounts on machines where it is installed. This is because all Windows accounts use the same VM to build and run containers. Note that it is not possible to share containers and images between user accounts when using the Docker Desktop WSL 2 backend.
