does anyone know how to password protect m/s outlook? I used to be able to do it on outlook express, but can't seem to find the way to do it now I've upgraded to office xp. Thanx in advance if it's possible.

Thanks Paul, have now made 2 profiles on the pc, 1 for me (passworded) and 1 for other family members.

Outlook is thought of as a business piece of software, as such most isp's wont support it.

I can't for the life of me think why they/we do not, seems plain silly really.

When customers used to call us before at faults in error with tech support calls I used to tell them.. you have xp-pro. just tell them you have xp, you have outlook just tell them its outlook express.
config is soo similar for both and the tech agent probably won't notice your fibbing.

Best way to do it. Make sure the second account doesn't have admin rights though;)
