Question on multiple identities on one PC

[cbailey]

I have a 2K pc with 2 user sharing the same PC. When it comes to Outlook Express (current version and patches) when you launch outlook express, you can cancel the password screen and go into a users mailbox.

Is there a way to give both users privacy of their e-mail?

thanks

Do they login to the computer under the same user ID and password?

Yes they do, it is a shared PC. What I've tried so far is to create a third accound and make it default. Then the users can switch ID's when they want into their own mail box. So far it seem to be working, but I'm not convinced yet.

Thanks

The only way I know of to insure privacy is by using separate IDs and passwords. If they share the computer their is still as risk of one not logging out allowing the other access. But that can happen to anyone walking up to a logged in computer.
