Outlook Express 6.0 Address Book for all users

[John D]

Anyone know how to configure Outlook Express so that
all users with logins to a machine access the same
address book?

I set up my login account and created 2 OE identities
so that my wife and I could get email from our respective
email accounts. I got the bright idea of giving her her
own login account on the machine and OE configured her
mail to use her own address book. Is there any way to
configure her email account to use my address book
(all her contact info is already in it) or move the
address book to a (All U&sers?)common area with some
common name so both she and I can use it.

I copied my address book to her account to temporarily
solve the problem but I don't want to go through the
hassle of merge issues etc. It would just make life
easier if it could be done. Any help here from an OE
guru would be appreciated.
