For those of you who share a computer with other users such as family members, you will probably find this a useful little Outlook Express tip. You set up Outlook Express for multiple users without having to create multiple users accounts in Windows. This is done through Outlook Express identities. An identity in Outlook Express will have its own signature, accounts, address book and settings. For added security, you can also use passwords to protect an identity.

You can create a new identity in Outlook Express 6.0 using the following procedure:

1. Open Outlook Express.
2. Click File, point to Identities, and click Add New Identity.
3. In the Type your name field, enter in the name for the new user.
4. Click OK.
5. If you want to protect the identity with a password, place a check beside Require password. Type in the password for the Identity.
6. Click OK.
7. Click OK to close the New Identity dialog box.
