I actually haven't done any TB setup for the 2 users. I have 3 user accounts on XP: Administrator (default administrator acct), d (myself), and k (my SO). All three users have administrative privileges in Windows. I installed TB as Administrator in order that TB would appear in the Start Menu for All Users. When XP is logged in as d or as k, each XP user has their own individual TB mail store, accounts, & address book. As TB stores that info in HKEY_CURRENT_USER, no other "user" setup was necessary in TB, it's merely using the separate Windows users accounts for separate TB user accounts. I think most of the discussion in this thread has been about having multiple TB users all using the same Windows user. I know nothing about setting that up as my SO & I have always used separate Windows logins. When Hans talked about permissions errors for separate TB users operating under separate Windows logins, I assume the problem is because the non-administrative Windows logins do not have sufficient permissions to write to the mail store. That is why I suggested granting those non-admin Windows users "full control" permission for the mail store folder. That way the users could continue to have limited rights, but have sufficient permissions on the mail store folder to write to it. -- Dave [EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat! v1.62/Beta1 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
