I'm currently getting far too distracted when I'm on my PC and should
be working and so created a separate user account purely for work on
XP Pro. I still, however, want to have OneNote as a shared application
so that no matter which account I'm using when I update a OneNote page
it remains the same regardless of which account I'm logged into.

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance!

That's one use scenario behind Shared Notebooks.

As long as the Notebooks that you want to access are available from both
accounts, you should have no problem. Store them in a central location
outside of each account's "My Documents" folder (which is where they will
be placed by default). You will have to separately open up each Notebook
under each account, but the content will be synced and remain identical
when accessed from either account.

Probably the best approach would be to put the OneNote data in the
Public Documents folder (in XP it would be in c:\documents and
settings\all users\documents, in Vista it would be
c:\users\public\documents). That makes it visible to all user
accounts.
