Microsoft Outlook Question:

[Ryan]

I have 4 different people using Outlook as their e-mail softeware. Now, Whenever first start up my computer, and use outlook, I get a message that asks me which account to log into. But, If I close outlook and start the program again, it goes to the last account that was opened. How do I make it possible to give the user the message that asks whick account to log into everytime the program is run?

I have a feeling that you are talking about outlook express. I am not aware that you can share outlook between multiple people on one workstation without integrating Windows NT user account.

anyway, if it is outlook express, very simple ..

1. open outlook express
2. click on outlook express icon on the left hand panel
3. Click on identities on far right hand panel
4. select manage identities
5. clear the checkbox use this identity when starting the program.

You might need to fool outlook by creating a main identity that nobody uses.

Good luck.

I have already done that. when I run the program for the first time (after a fresh boot), I get a dialog box asking whick account to open too. But, when I run the program again, it opens to the first account that was opened.

Instead of just closing Outlook when you are done with it, click on File, Identities, Logoff <whoever you are>. The program will shut down and the next time it is opened you will get the account selection box again..
