I am using XP Prof. and SpamBayes 1.0
 
I want to change the registry to allow all users on this particular
machine to have access to the program because all log-on individually to
Windows.
 
I found this info below on your help site, but how do I do it?
When SpamBayes is installed, by default it is available only for the
user who installed it.  This is to allow SpamBayes to appear in
Microsoft Outlook's Com-Addin list, and therefore able to be activated
and de-activated by the user inside Outlook.
It is possible to register the addin so it is available to all users on
a particular machine, which can be useful in enterprise arrangements
where users have 'roaming profiles'
To register SpamBayes in this way, you must log on as a user with
permissions to modify the system registry, then execute the command
(obviously with the correct patch substituted):
    regsvr32.exe /i:hkey_local_machine "c:\Program
Files\SpamBayes\bin\outlook_addin.dll"
If you check
<file:///C:\Program%20Files\SpamBayes\docs\outlook\docs\troubleshooting.
html#CheckLog#CheckLog>  the installation log after performing such an
install, you should see the following messages:
    Registered: SpamBayes.OutlookAddin 
    Registration complete.
    Registration (in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE) complete.
Note the last line, which does not exist when registration is performed
only for the current user.  Once you have performed this registration,
the Addin will be available for registry to allow all users to have
access to the program.
 
Thanks in advance for any help,
