I use several identities in OE6 using WIN XP PRO. When having to recreate
these identities on a new computer, the folder structure I created for
storing contacts in my shared Windows address book, as you know, is lost
during import or export. While researching the Internet for instructions on
how to have a unique address book for each identity, I found several
references, including the following, which provide instructions for doing so:

Here is a quote from the above link.

"Inside the Address Book box, select Tools and then Options. You will be
presented with the Options dialog box, which will give you two choices. The
first choice, Share Contact Information, gives you a single address book for
all identities. The second choice, Do Not Share, lets each identity have its
own address book. Choose whichever option is appropriate for your situation."

My address book does not have Options option under the Tools menu. Nor does
it have the choices described above located anywhere in my menu structure.

Did these choices exist at one time in a previous version of the address
book? Why is this not possible with the address book in OE6? Does anyone
have a solution that does not require manually editing the register?
