Yea but unless you specifically tell xp to restrict access to these folders any 
body can poke around in it, it would be better to install to 

x:\Documents and Settings\joeschmoe\ 

that way only an administrator can acces. If PGP is not an issue you should be 
able to install to the "progam files" directory and just have pmmail start in 
the users directory. in the shortcut change the startin path to:

"%homedrive%%homepath%\Application Data" including quotes. 

Add the shortcut to the "all users" start menu and viola each person has there 
own private mail accounts. the only issue with this is that the pmmail.ini file is 
shared which controls the general settings I believe. So pgp will use the same 
keyset for all.
