On one PC I have a 2nd identity set up, but have it always open up to 'Main
Identity' with the 2nd one password protected. I want this set up on my
other PC, but for some reason it always opens up to the last used identity,
despite it being password protected and having "Use This Identity....." set
to 'Main Identity' in the 'Manage Identities' options.

Both PC's are XP and OE6

Any ideas?

TIA

File/Exit and Log off Identity.

On the first PC, I can just exit OE (using the X in the top right corner)
and it will ALWAYS open to 'Main Identity' without having to log out of
whichever identity I'm currently in. This is what I want on my other
machine. All settings are identical!

Update the OE you are using right now. Assuming you have XP SP2, it is not
the latest OE available and I assume you have the latest on your other
computer.

Are SP2 and all post-SP2 updates installed on both machines?
