On Windows, I don't know if there is a way to make mozilla look in
another directory besides the current profile's "Application Data"
directory.
Conrad (who owns the profile manager) might know.
(Note, on Linux there are environment variables that you could set to do
this.)
Feel free to log a bug using http://bugzilla.mozilla.org with this request.
In the mean time, here is a hack:
Copy (or symlink?) your profile registry
(C:\Windows\Profiles\standard\Application Data\Mozilla\registry.dat) to
your other profile's Mozilla directory (like
C:\Windows\Profiles\foo\Application Data\Mozilla\registry.dat)
When you start mozilla as the Win98 user "foo", it will read that copy
of the registry.dat file, which will point to the "standard" profile's
files, like
C:\Windows\Profiles\standard\Application
Data\Mozilla\Users50\default\xxxxxxxx.slt\Mail.
