Hello,

I have seperate user accounts for my wife and myself. For email I use Outlook 2003 and she uses Outlook Express. If I set 2003 to be my default client it automatically becomes hers as well. Same thing happens if she sets Express as her client, it then becomes mine. Is there a way to keep the settings seperate between accounts so we don't keep flip-flopping between them?

Thanks!

Unfortunately you can't have two default email clients. You and your wife will have to decide on one email program to use or you’ll keep having this problem. I suggest that she switch to Outlook 2003, it's a much better program than outlook express. Just have her create her own profile so that she can keep her email separate from yours.
