Hi,
i want to have 2 profiles (or more)in XP to share the same
adress book inoutlook express,
i have tried to copy and paste by coping whilst being one
profile and then "switchinhg user" and pasting, but it
dont work,
Also tried searching for the WAB file and copying the book
in explorer , but each time it just creates a blank
address book,
must be easy, must'nt it ?

any help appreciated

Fred,

move the WAB file to the corresponding place in the All Users
profile, then log on as each user, search for the old path in
the registry and replace it with the new path.

Take notes about what you're changing in the registry, so you
can go back if anything doesn't work.

Actually I've been told that the WAB is genuinely multi-user
capable, i.e. can be used simultaneously over the network.
Haven't tried that myself yet though.
