I work in an offcie environment and sometimes have to
leave my PC unattended for just a few minutes.
Unfortunately some confidential emails have been read by
my staff and I need a way of safeguarding them other than
turning off the PC, is there any way I can password
protect access into my Outlook 2000, so all I do is close
Outlook. (Sorry still operating under W95)
Many thanks
 
You can set a password on a Personal Folders File. If the folder list isn't
visible in Outlook, click View | Folder List. Right-click the root folder
(usually "Personal Folders" or "Outlook Today"), click Properties on the
popup menu, click the Advanced button on the General tab, then click Change
Password. Next time you close and reopen Outlook, it will ask for the
password before it will open the Personal Folders file. Be VERY careful not
to forget the password, as there is no guarantee you will be able to get
back into your file without it.

Does W95 not have password-protected screensaver function? (I can't
remember, it's SOOOOOO long since I used w95!)
