New to Vista, My settings showing up on a different account

I just installed Vista today, so please forgive me.

I use MSN Messenger and my wife does not, but when she logs in it opens and
signs me on.. The same is also on my default homepage..

How can we make the 2 accounts completly different like it was in XP?

TIA!

In XP it is Control Panel then User Accounts, I'm pretty sure it is the same
in Vista but I cannot check as I do not have my Vista box running at this
moment.

Thanks Greenie, but I am aware of where it is located. As I said we already
have seperate account, but my home page is showing up on her side and my MSN
Messenger is loggin me on while she is signed onto her account...

Hi Adam

Can you create a brand new user account and test if it does the same thing
again?
