That is a bug in our Windows installer, and will be fixed in one of our
0.7.x releases. In the meanwhile, you can create a shortcut for her on
her desktop (and/or start menu and quick launch bar). I do this on my
home XP which I share with my wife.

Chandler automatically creates separate repositories for separate XP
user accounts.

I don't think your wife needs an account on the Hub with your usage
pattern. You have created a Hub account and published your collections,
and have given your wife the read-write tickets to the collections. That
is all your wife needs.

Things may change in the future when we implement better access control
mechanisms, but for now I don't see a need for your wife to create a Hub
account for herself if she never intends to share her private collection(=
s).
