I am listed as the Administrator and want to setup a limited account as
well. I am running XP Professional and Office XP Professional.

Before I reinstalled, I set up a new account as Limited with different
account name and login password. Then setup my email the same as in the
Admin account. I kept getting access violation errors when using Outlook to
get the email in the Limited Account.

Did I do something wrong when setting this up? Any info would be
appreciated--I just reinstalled XP and all programs--I want to get it right
this time!
