Thanks for that - I had forgotten about such.

Should be applicable to Windows too, via 'run as'.

Mind you, have to set up accounts, not always easy for users. Let alone, 
on windows, people frequently don't have accounts at all. (Not even log

For Linux, multiple X sessions (Ctrl-Alt-F8, etc.) would also be 
possible. This X for home, this X for wide area browsing, that one for 
banking ...

      For Bob, this would be Ctr-Alt-F1 for Home Mutt, Ctrl-Alt-F2 for 
general pine, Ctrl-Alt-F3 for lynx, ... (-:
