Go to maintenance, and click the "Turn Multi-User On" button.

Then if you install the runtime on other machines, it should
automatically connect to the host machine if the files are open already.

That can be tricky I think... unless you are using FileMaker Pro Server
(which runs as a service of NT), in which case it's slightly less tricky.

It ends up being a hassle because NT is a secure OS (or at least it's
billed as such), and applications normally can't be triggered until
someone is logged into the machine.
