Why administrator.wab and not user.wab?

I have set up 2 administrator and 2 restricted use accounts on a brand new
Windows XP Home MCE Toshiba laptop. Although our separate email accounts are
all working fine, the contacts have been set up in an "administrator.wab"
file (C:\documents and settings\administrator\Applications data\\address
book\administrator.wab) and not in a "user.wab" file. This means that the 2
administrators see all contacts (not just their own) and the restricted use
accounts are unable to use the address book at all, just getting an error
message suggesting that OE is reinstalled. I have reinstalled using the
recovery disc and the problem remains. Toshiba have been unable to advise me
of a solution to this problem. Any advice would be very welcome.

Since Outlook does not use any files whose extension is ".wab", this isn't
an Outlook question.  Ask in

Thanks for the reply Brian, I am new to this. However, as this message is
posted in microsoft.public.outlookexpress I still hope someone with OE
knowledge can provide some help. Anyone...?
