Help With Unique WAB for each User

Hello All -

OE 5 automatically allowed for a separate WAB for each user account on an XP
computer.   THis worked well, as my wife and I use the same machine, each
"logging in" to our own space.  Our space pointed to our unique documents,
separate email accounts and separate address books.

Unfortunately, OE6 doesn't default to separate WABs for each user.  I also
can't really understand the identies with respect to XP user accounts.  To
me (the incredible novice) it looks like each account logs in to their own
'main identity' within OE6.  Each main identity is configured to their own
email account (by me pointing to my ISP location).  However, each main
identify points to the same WAB.

So, I think I need to futz with the registryo make the WAB point to the
account variable (so it points to that person that is logged in).  But I'm
very nervous to futz with the registry, and I'm not certain what to futz
with or what to make it say.

If you could help me with some detailed instructions (i've read the net, and
can't get it straight in my head) I would be very appreciative.

Best Regards
Peter

The WAB files for each Windows User are separate.  All of the OE identities
in the same Windows User share different "folders" within the same file.
This is unchanged from OE5

Frank -

You were right on the money with my last problem, and I'm sure you can help
me with this one.

When I first logged into OE6, I imported my address book.  When My Wife
first logged in, she saw my address book, too.  So, perhaps I don't have our
accounts setup right?

Any thoughts?
