Just wondering what or where controls the user profile settings for
Outlook Express -I'd like to be able to lock down the requirement for
entering a password.
I set 3 profiles and their corresponding passwords, However I'v
recently noticed with mine that I can open up Outlook Express and it
only asks for the password if I'v logged out - as opposed to simply
closing it down via the "X", Positive it used to always ask for it
regardless of how it was shutdown - now I DID get a virus/trojan a
couple of weeks ago - been cleaned and thoroughly checked clean now!
but whatever it was it did alter my date/time setting, and if I'm not
mistaken the Outlook password requirement started not-asking" after
that!! I could be mistaken though - but Should it always ask for the
password regardless of how I shut it down? or is it acting correctly
in only asking after I'v "exit and logged off" ~ and I simply havn't
noticed this till now?. and is there a way of Making it ask for the
password regardless of how it's closed down?
Many thanks.
Hope your al having a good day.
