Dual Boot XP System - can OE share the same dbx folders?
 

Hi

I've set up a dual boot XP Pro/XP Pro system for testing purposes.

I've got OE working fine in OS1- it would be nice if I could have it working
in both OS's so I don't have to reboot just to get email.

Is it possible to have OE in the new installation use the same .dbx folders?

Or am I inviting a whole heap of potential trouble?

FYI I have moved the default location of the OE folders to a separate
partition for easier backup purposes.

Thanks for your thoughts on this.

Ian

Users can share an OE Store Folder.
The Registry settings must be the same for each OE.
