Yes, of course. I presume you are sharing these out in a folder on a network? They can still access them. Writing them to floppy or CD? That is a different file system too and they can access them as well. It is your puter doing the displaying of the program for them.
No probs.
Good luck!

PS. Most networks out there still have a mix of Winnt and win98/95 where machines use fat, fat32 and ntfs all without probs.

Use Windows Installer to create setup package and install in different OS [Of course windows...] Never worry about file system change. Windows installer can even handle one time registry update or first time run application etc while installing your application.
All the best
