SYMPTOMS
On a Microsoft Windows XP-based computer, auto-signature settings, stationary settings, and tracking settings that are specified in a Microsoft Outlook 2002 profile are applied to other Outlook 2002 profiles. This behavior occurs when a user works with multiple Outlook 2002 profiles as a single Windows XP user.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because auto-signature settings, stationary settings, and tracking settings are configured for the current Windows XP user. These settings are not configured for a specific Outlook 2002 profile.



WORKAROUND
To use different signatures in an e-mail message, make sure that the auto-signature option is disabled in Outlook 2002. Then, include the appropriate signature when you send the message.

To use customized backgrounds, colors, or fonts that differ from the current Outlook 2002 stationery settings, manually configure the stationery settings for a message.

To track a message, make sure that the tracking option is disabled in Outlook 2002. Then, configure the tracking option in the message that you want to track.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
