I've been working with my In-laws to set up the Security on their
computer but have hit some issues. (I'm not there; this is all done by
phone and they are relative neophytes!)

-they have a Dial-Up connection (rural)
-new Dell dual processor WinXP SP2 machine
-they have 3 Users on the machine with 3 separate desktops
-User 1 & 2 share the same email account and use Outlook 2003
-User 3 shares the Internet connection but uses an IMAP Mail server and
Online program.

-the concern was that User 3 can view all emails and files and make
changes to all Desktops from his (I don't know why he can do this but...)

So, I made Users 1 & 2 Power users and User 3 just a User

-I gave them each a log on password to get to their individual
desktop.
-I made each of their Documents files not shared
-from User 1's desktop, I made the Outlook PST file require a password.
-I had to go into User 3's desktop and also make the Outlook PST file to
require a password

-at this point, User 2 no longer has access to Outlook! When you click
on the icon, the hour glass comes up and then disappears and nothing
else happens. It does not ask for a password or even acknowledge that
it is running. All other programs, including other parts of Microsoft
Office are still working. User 1 & 3 are required to put in a password
to get into the Outlook Email files.

Anyone know why this has happened? I am totally stumped. Was there a
better way to set the Security up?

Brian;
I posted twice because I had accidentally hijacked someone else's thread!

Are you able to offer any advice on my Outlook problem?
