Default Configuring OE so that the Identity is exactly the same for each User Account

You can clone the identities as other responses have indicated.

But if you make any changes in one user account that is stored in the
registry they won't/can't be automatically propagated to other user
accounts. That's because it's stored under HKEY_CURRENT_USER and you
can't access the not logged user accounts. That's by design in Windows.

This includes mail/news account settings, message rules, blocked senders
and general OE configuration settings. For those settings you need to
reclone the registry.

But messages and contacts will automatically be available in other user
accounts.

Let's say I just have one identity in a User Account. Then, I make
another User Account.

Anyone know if it's possible to make adjustment (to the registry,
probably) so that when I open the Identity in the newly-created
Windows User Account, OE relies on the same registry settings as in
the original User Account.

So, no matter how many User Accounts I make, there is only one
registry ever being used by OE.

That means if I make a message rules change, or Account change in OE,
when in any User Account, these changes are reflected in all the User
Accounts when I open OE. Thanks.
