Separate Outlook installations or identities?

[Trent SC]

A colleague has Outlook 2003 installed on their machine and wants to set it
up so she and her husband can access their own emails separately. Since
they swap between the computers all the time, they don't want to faff around
with separate Windows logins, and she says that on an old PC they simply had
separate Outlook icons on the desktop, but neither she nor I know how this
was set up.

I'm guessing this is dealt with by creating a new profile, but I need a
simple walkthrough for creating another Outlook profile, and then creating
two distinct shortcuts which will link directly to each. I've already
googled, but not found anything definitive.

Can anyone help?

Cheers.

Try using the Mail applet in the control panel (with OL closed) to create
the new Profile - simply follow the prompts, add a new data file & accounts,
& test. Set Prompt for profile.
Now when you start OL you will be prompted for the profile to be used

Thanks for the suggestion.

Out of interest, how do I create the relevant desktop shortcuts to the
separate profiles?

TIA
