Hi - new to this game so hope I explain this well enough!!

I have two seperate users with seperate log in's trying to use the same Windows 98 PC.

When they log in the PC seems to retain the last persons Outlook Service

It also retains any mapped network drives (they can only be accessed by the person with the permission but they still show)

I've no idea how to get the PC to apply the individuals accounts and network drives

HELP!

Thanks

Control panel, passwords icon, user profiles tab. Is it set to all users use same or can customise their own settings? Would suggest you need customise their own if not set.

Is this a domain network?
 
wolluf - yes it is a domain.

I changed the setting as you said and it sort of gives me what I need....however it seemed to struggle with saving back a couple of files when I closed one user off...I think this is because of disconnecting and remapping drives...anyhow - you've pointed me into the right sort of direction

My colleagues back next week so i'll discuss it with him and see where we get to

Thanks for the info - I've learned something new!!
