| 274696 | 2004-09-22 22:15:00 | Hi Fellow F1ers, I have two users on my computer.... one for me and one for me girlfriend. I like jazzing up my desktop with xp themes. She prefers the plain xp theme. This is the reason for the separate users. BUT I use Firefox and she uses IE. I set Firefox as the default browser on my user, but it also makes the other user's default to be firefox too. How can I prevent this? And I want some programs to load on start up in my user, but on the other users. Is this possible? Mister Harbies |

| 274700 | 2004-09-22 22:53:00 | Hey Bruce, Thanks for that. Just what I wanted. Firefox was not one of the preset browsers to choose from, but they provided an option to select a broswer. Firefox works. Its perfect. And Beama, thanks for the info about the startup programs Mister Harbies |
