I have 3 users on my XP home operating system. All 3
have administrator status.

I also have MS Outlook 2000 Internet Mail Only. Problem
is, only one user is able to send and receive emails.
The other users, when they open outlook, get the
following message: "Outlook could not open the file
containing the folders used to send and receive emails."
Then there is a prompt for me to create a new folder.

Can I set the system up so that any of the users can
access the same email account?

Also, how do I get the MS Office shortcut toolbar to
launch automatically at startup?

Thanks in advance for any help.
 
IMO creates a separate Outlook Data File (PST file) for each Windows logon
user. If you wish, you can set each user to use the same PST file instead,
as long as each user has access to it.

- File menu > Open > Personal Folders file > migrate to the new PST file
location to open it
- Right-click on the root of the new set of folders in the folder pane (View
Folder List)
Click to expand...
- Choose Properties
- Check the "Deliver POP mail" box
- Quit & restart Outlook
- Now you can Close the PST file that you were previously using (R-click on
that pst folder while in Folder View and select "Close <foldername>
Folders"). If you have any information in your former PST that you'd like to
transfer to your new default PST, you can drag and drop from one to the
other before you close the old one.
