Win 7 ? Way to have separate FAVS+Mail 4 each screen name ?

On AOL, we have more than one screen name, like 'catsncars@aol.com'. I use AOL for mail and some favorites. For everything else, I use IE and Bing as my search engine. In XP, mail, favorites, history etc were separated for each person using my computer by their screen name. Windows 7 keeps all those items together.

It doesn't matter at all what a screen name is in AOL. Your question is about Windows 7. AOL is not part of Windows 7. It's something you installed yourself.

- In Windows 7, just as in XP, each user (as chosen from the welcome screen) has his own favorites in Internet Explorer (and his own desktop and his own Documents and his own etcetera).
- Windows 7 doesn't come with email, so having different the same or different email is not a Windows 7 feature at all. It's strictly defined in the setup of your email program.

Thanks, Kees_B, I'll take a look at that. I thought that I had tried doing that in IE and it didn't work. Maybe I made a mistake and was in AOL! Thanks very much! Mike B

The best, most secure way, is to have each user on this Windows 7 system to have their own log in account. That means when the computer is started a Welcome Screen is presented where each user can select their own Windows 7 account to log into. Each account can be password protected.

That is what Kees meant by their own IE favorites, desktop and documents etc.

If you don't want to do that, have you thought of Firefox as the browser and Thunderbird as the email manager? They can both handle different "Profiles" from the same Windows 7 account.

Mark, thanks, i think that is the best route to take. Also, a friend of mine told me that in using AOL you can get a lot of junk and extra toolbars u don't want, etc. I appreciate everyone's help! Mike
