She is using a webmail site for her own. I just want to keep her out of
mine, in case she gets nosy.
So far, none of the suggestions have worked. I even tried shutting down
Office in taskmanager, but when I start Outlook again, there is no password
protection.
Perhaps I should set her up separately.
Thanks for the help.
I have set a password for opening Outlook (through data management
diaglogue). However, it only works when the computer is first started or
I log out. Is there any way to lock it when it gets closed during a
computer session? Have a sibling who is visiting and I don't what her to
read my emails, but allow her access otherwise.. Thank you.
The password is on the .pst file that you open (which contains your local
message store). You are prompted only once when the PST is opened. It is
only on opening that file that you are prompted for a password. Exit
Outlook so a reload of Outlook will have to reopen that PST file so you
then get prompted again.
So just why are you allowing anyone else to *share* your own login? Give
them their own Windows login. Then they get their own message store
instead of using yours. Since they are "visiting", why do they even have
to use your local e-mail client. Have them use the webmail interface to
their own mailbox.
