That is the purpose of having individual accounts...
individual email accounts, web sites, favorites, etc.
If you wish to share everything, there is no sense in
having separate accounts.

Hi Mike,

Right, that's what's supposed to happen. You have separate user profiles,
but you can copy yours to hers so she'll feel more at home:
