I have 2 users on XP. Myself and my wife. Gave my wife Limited User Status
because she is not computer friendly and didn't wat her to accidently delete
importand emails which were received under my account and email address. We
both have or own MSN email address. I have setup OE to receive MSN mail
under my account as admistrator and it works fine. Try to setup her OE in
her account(limited access) and OE will not work. Is this normal with OE
that it will not work for a limited access user? HELP Please. Thanks Jack
 
Hi Jack,

No reason it shouldn't work, but perhaps you need to add her account to the
permissions for the Outlook Express program folder:

C:\Program Files\Outlook Express

Right-click it and choose properties, go to the Security tab and give her
read/write priviledges. For WinXP Pro systems, you will need to disable
simple file sharing under folder options/view first. For WinXP Home systems,
you will need to restart in Safe mode and use the administrator logon.
