Hi there,

Is the user account the same as a profile?

I want to set up 2 different users so that when Win 98 starts up, it will
have those users at the logon screen.

But when I set up a second user, the second user had all of my stuff in
their My Documents and even their Outlook Express email was loaded with my
stuff.

How can I set up a completely separate user account/profile about the same
way it's done in XP?

Thanks,

Gordon

Windows 98 does not provide the level of user separation that you are
familiar with from XP.  There may be third-party products that can do what
you want.

There's quite a good description here, but watch out for differences between
98 and ME.
