Different XP Pro Users - Different Email Addresses?
Discussion
I have a spare PC (running XP PRO SP2) which I want to setup for the family to use.
So there will be 4 different accounts:
Admin (me)
SWMBO (Limited Account)
Child1 (Limited Account)
Child2 (Limited Account)
If I install/config Outlook under Admin, can I then set it up under each seperate limited account so that they each have their own email address and CANNOT read each other's email?
Many thanks in advance

That is exactly how I had my desktop setup. Skype can even be set up with accounts according to who is logged on.
When the HDD was on its way out I decided to replace it and do a full re-install with a difference...
re-partitioned drive to give three partitions. Install os and applications till everything is as required then clone this into the second partition. Now set up a dual boot between the two OS builds. Admin (me) and SWIMBO are profiles on the build on partition 1 which only has office/mail/image applications on. and child# are profiles on partition 2 with games, games and more games on.
If I want to install demos or trial software it happens on the secondary/games partition leaving partition 1 less "messed" with.
Partition 3 has Ghosts of P1 & P2.
One downside is I get the pleasure of enduring every MS update twice though I tend to let them loose on P2 first.
I also run a different flavour of (free) AV software on each partition and let them scan the whole computer which should strengthen the security provided. Another downside is two lots of AV updates.
As Windows seems prone to slowing over time due to ever increasing software installations I'm hoping that my system/s will run faster for longer.
This took a huge amount of time to set up but I'm happy with the way it works.
