Re: multiple user accounts

Doug,
Thanks for the info. Do you know of a comprehensive list that details which
settings in IE are per-user vs. per-machine?
Thanks,

Some IE Security settings are per user, not per machine. To make these types
of changes, you would need to be logged into the actual user account.
