Can 2 XP Pro program administrators have different program configurations?

Maybe you can try creating 2 users for yourself and your father, both having
administrator priviledges

When I change the program configuration for my father's account to make OE
the default mail/newsgroup handler, then switch over to my account, my
program configuration has been changed to that of my father's. Since I want
my default to be Outlook 2000, this is a real pain in the posterior.

Spectra9, that is currently the case - my father and I have separate user accounts, each with Administrator access.

<sigh> I guess I'm going to have to wait until MS includes a feature like this in a service patch

Thanks, everyone.
