Default Sharing an Internet connect ion between user accounts

In the connection properties is a setting to allow this. It may also appear
when you invoke the connection. The options are to use this username and
password for your account, or for all accounts.

Can anyone tell me how I can arrange for my Internet
connection to be shared between different user accounts
set up on the one PC. I have admin rights and two other
on the account have limited accounts. I want all of us
to be able to access the internet through my internet
connection account. At the moment we are not able to do
this.
Thanks.

Default User Accounts

Yes, under each user account, set up Outlook Express and configure it for
their e-mail account. If you're using one e-mail account for everyone,
you'll have to use Rules (Tools, Message Rules) to filter out how your
incoming mail is handled.

Is it possible to set up XP so that different users
receive only mail addressed to them? If so, how?

Thanks.

Hi Jeff,
In the 'connect to...' dialog box, check the box "Save this username and
password for the following users" and select the radio button "Anyone who
uses this computer".
