I am running WindowsXP Home sp2, I have two Users set up on this computer. It
appears that each user has their own WAB file. I cannot get the Shared
Contacts folder to share contacts placed there. The contacts I place in the
Shared Contacts folder are visible to me, but not to the other user and visa
versa. How do I set the Address Book for the two Users on the computer so
that each can see their own contacts and the Shared Contacts?

Are you sure the other user is using the same Address Book file? Check the
location of both via Address Book's Help | About.

The Shared Contacts is for multiple identities within a single Windows logon.

Each Windows logon, by default, gets its own WAB file. All the identities within a single
Windows logon share the same WAB file but get access to a private as well as the shared
portion of the file.

For more information on this, see:
