Default Switch User: IE/OE having eactly same settings!!

Hi there,

I just set up a second user account and was able to personalize
this new desktop accordingly (ie. for each account differently).

However, Outlook Express displays BOTH the same entries
at all the folders and also its address book is identical as in the
original account! The same applied initially for the email a/c too,
but there I was at least successful in editing it into a new one,
without affecting the one already set in the original user account.

But if I modify now an entry in the OE address book of user
No. 2, it'll automatically also affect the one at user No. 1!
Same goes at any OE folders.

So how can I get now a virgin, completely independent OE
(resp. IE) also for this second user account??

Thanks very much in advance for your help...hopefully (?).

Best regards,
Philippe Borel

OE, click on File, Identities, Add new identity

Hi Ron,

Thanks very much for your reply!

Yes, I did now create such new identity and it works!
However, this new user (No. 2) has now the possibility
to switch to "Main Identity" which is...mine (!).
So is there then "no way at all" to create a brandnew launching
of OE for any new party; ie. also creating such "Main Identity"
for each new User Account being registered on this PC??

Mind you: IE is now also identical; hence all users are sharing
with each other same history; last sites visited, etc.
So same question now as above for OE, if it's not possible
to launch IE in a "virgin state" too for any new User Account...

Regards, Philippe
