so far i have had to instal ffox twice to get it to run, and have had to set up 2 access addresses fo broadband, one for me and one for her...

if youre on xp home in control panel, user accounts then create user account. can also do this on pro or you can right click on my computer, select manage select local users and groups, click on users. Click on action (next to file) and select new user. More options doing it that way with xp pro

she should be able to access all the packages and broadband with a different user account, it creates a new profile with separate my docs, desktop, cookies etc

Go to the Control Panel and look at User Accounts - you can set up new users there.

Each user should be able to use ffox / IE with there own favourites, etc. You can also set up seperate email accounts in Outlook Express.

May be some other stuff to do, but that'll get you started.

do you just mean a link on the desktop. If thats the case copy the link (right click mouse select copy) and go into C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop and paste the link into there. That shortcut should be on the screen for any user that you create. If the net doesnt work on a different account then im barking up the wrong tree here. However if you go into control panel and network connection the broadband connection should be installed for every user, double check that if you can
