Setting User Profiles

What if I share my computer with other people?

If more than one person uses your computer for e-mail and Web access, it's a good idea to set up different User Profiles for each person. User Profiles allow for different e-mail accounts, plus separate Bookmarks, Address Books, and other individualized preferences.

To set up another profile...

Choose File-Exit if you have already launched Netscape. (You must be out of Netscape in order to define these settings).

From the Start button go to Programs->Netscape->Profile Manager.

Once you have launched the Profile Manager...

Click on Create Profile, then click on Next. When prompted to, give the profile a name, then click on Finish.
Select the profile you have just created launch it.

Proceed with the instructions above for setting up e-mail.
