having accounts share common ie/outlook files

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

Hi Alfred,

Place the favorites under the AllUsers folder instead of your own profile:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Favorites

For Outlook/Outlook Express, you need to move the mail store out of the
local profile user folder and into a common folder, then point each to it.
There are some dangers involved in doing this with Outlook Express, so if
you need instructions please post back. For Outlook, just move the .pst file
to a common shared location and redirect the store location.
