Limited account problem

[Walt G]

In an effort to have only one Administrator account on my machine (mine) I
changed my wife's to a limited account. As a consequence, Outlook 2003 would
not open. It said something to the effect that 'these folders could not be
opened' and the server was not available. Changing it back to an
Administrator's account solved the problem. What gives?

The message store and account settings are stored in your Administrator
account, to which your wife (as a limited user) does not have access. She
needs her own Outlook Express identity (with its own message store and
address book). Whereas Administrators have full access to every other
account on the machine.

BTW: You're definitely on the right track by segregating the Administrator
account from the limited user account. However, the idea is that you *both*
run from a limited user account, and use the Administrator account only when
performing Adminstrator-type functions.
