I just set up an Outlook 2002 account. I used to have Outlook Express. When I
click the icon for Outlook, it opens my Outlook but doessn't ask for a
password. I need for it to ask for a password first so that my family cannot
get into my email account. How do I do this?
Thanks

You can't actually password-protect Outlook itself, but you can
password-protect your pst file. (That's where all your Outlook data, emails,
calendar, tasks, contacts etc etc are stored). Open Outlook, right-click on
Outlook Today, choose Properties, click on Advanced and go to "Change
Password".

If you're using Windows 2000 or Windows XP, the best approach is to create a
separate Windows login for each person and password-protect the login.
Otherwise, Gordon's advice is good.
