What you could try is copy it, uninstall it, reinstall it and then switch the copies into place depending on what you want to play, this would work if SoA dosent notice the ToB changes to the registry. Tough one.
The good news is there is a portion of the registry specific to each user (the user.dat hive if were getting technical), the problem is making XP store info in that hive. Im sure I saw an option to do it.

I dont know anything about the tech stuff, but I know doing this worked for Starcraft and Broodwars (that was Win98 SE though). As I said, I don't know alot about the actual system, I just like to play games
