How to setup Outlook to remember multiple user names on Shared PC.

[Guest]

We have a few PC's that a number of people logon to with a generic logon and
have their personal profiles set up on the PC (prompting of course). When
they select their own profile, they need to enter their username and
password. The issue I've been asked to investigate, and have yet to find an
answer, is how to configure Outlook to remember the usernames so they can
select it from a list rather than enter it any time they want to check their
own email.

Any help would be greatly apreciated,

Thanks.

Give them different Windows usernames. Whether or not their Exchange
passwords are remembered is a function of Exchange, I think. At least, it
appears to be controlled on the Exchange server where I work, since our
passwords are never remembered. However, try selecting the various types of
authentication allowed by clicking Tools>E-mail Accounts>Next, selecting the
Exchange account, clicking Change, then More Settings, and examining the
Security tab.

Thanks for the suggestion Brian, but, that isn't what I am looking for. The
users don't have a problem getting it to remember the password (which we
don't want them to do). When they change mailboxes, they are prompted for a
username and password to get into their mailbox. They have to enter in their
username everytime a different user has accessed a mailbox. On the prompt
screen there is a drop down menu, but, it doesn't retain the usernames that
are being entered. I am looking to retain the list so that the users can
just select their name from the list instead.
