I have XP Professional installed and Office XP Professional. I have several
users setup for kids, as well as my admin account.

I want to setup a Limited Account in addition to the Admin account for
myself for daily use. Am I just suppose to pick a different account name
and login password and then setup my MSN Messenger and Outlook POP email
with same username and password that I used to setup the Admin account? I
don't need to share any contacts or anything, I just setup the admin email
in order to setup Outlook. I want to input my contact info etc., into the
Limited account and use it. I only want to run the Admin account if I have
to perform a function that I cannot do in the Limited Account.

When I tried this before reloading XP, I ended up getting an access
violation. Is this the correct way to set this up? It doesn't seem like it
should be too hard, MS recommends that we run as a Limited Account instead
of using the Admin account? I did have some other problems that were
corrected by a full clean install of XP. I just do not want to set this up
again and have problems because I did something wrong.

If someone can tell me if I am on the right track, and this is the way to
properly set up a Limited and Admin account for the same person then I can
go ahead and try it again--otherwise could you please let me know what I am
doing wrong?
 
YOu might want to post in a group for the operating system (windows XP) as
this is an operating system configuration and has little to do with Outlook
except for the fact that you want to set up Outlook under the Limited User
account. Get the account set up first and then post back if you have
problems configuring Outlook under that account.
