Default mail client problems XP Pro (dual users)

Hello. I use XP Pro at home and share the computer with my wife. She uses Outlook Express in her user account and I use Netscape Mail in my account. Here's the problem: If I am logged into my account and set Netscape as the default mail client, it also sets her account to the default mail client. So basically I have to set Outlook Express as the default client to make it easier for her while I have to copy and paste email addresses into a new message box instead of simply clicking on a mailto link (if I do that OE starts up and it's not the client I use). Anyway, it's a small inconvenience but it would be nice if anyone knows how to have a default client for her account and a seperate default account for my account. TIA.

"MORE INFORMATION
You can customize the e-mail link in the Start menu on a single-user basis. However, you cannot specify the default e-mail program on a single-user basis."
