Installing the Identity Database Object (for WFO only)

For Windows 95/98: Copy the file identitydb.obj from within the FTP directory on the watches/warnings machine to the C:\Windows directory of that machine (if necessary, replace C: with the bootable, or root, drive of your system).

For Windows NT: Copy the file identitydb.obj from within the FTP directory on the watches/warnings machine to the profile directory of every user that is to decide watches and warnings.  Typically, the profile directory can be found at C:\Winnt\profiles\<user name>, where <user name> is the user name of the individual on the watches/warnings machine (if necessary, replace C: with the bootable, or root, drive of your system).
