    different Wlm versions on different user account -why not ?

    I have 3 admin accounts. One for daily use, one for tests/experiments and one for emergency.
    ( Sorry, I don't buy the " don't use admin account for daily chores " advice. )

    My regular admin account has WLM 2009 version.
    I tried to install WLM 2011 in my test admin account. It gets installed ok, but when I logon back to my regular admin, my WLM has turned to 2011 version.

    If different user accounts can use different e-mail clients, why can't different user accounts use different WLM versions ?

    Thank you.

    I hope that I can help after all the excellent help that you have been giving others.
    This is just a guess, but if you go to default programs are both versions of Live Mail showing with LM 2011 selected as default?

    I think its more to do with the program residing itself in the HKLM (Local Machine) part of the registry as opposed to the HKCU (current user). i.e. its accessible for every user, not just the user that's logged on

    Unless you install it in a Sandbox I don't think you can change that

    Can't answer that because I quickly uninstalled 2011 version and re-install 2009 version.
    I much prefer 2009 version for ease of finding the options, while in 2011, they are in different places and hidden.
    I don't think I would venture into re-installing 2011 version just to find out.

    Thank you.

    Too bad. I had had others asking questions about WLM ( 2011 version ). I knew the answers, but I couldn't tell them the step-by-step because 2011 version has different layout and therefore different step-by-step.

    There IS a free version of Sandboxie......
    Soiurce of info : Sandboxie - FAQ Licensing



    Q. Is Sandboxie freeware or shareware?
    • A. Sandboxie is shareware software. The free version is missing a few features which are available in the paid version. After 30 days of use, the free version displays reminders to upgrade to the paid version, but remains functional. For personal use, you are encouraged, but not required, to upgrade to the paid version.
      • For non-personal use (including commercial, eductional, governmental, and not-for-profit use), Sandboxie must be properly licensed. See Commercial Licensing.
    Q. Which features are available in the paid version?
    • A. Two features:
      • "Force" programs: Automatically run programs under Sandboxie even when they are not started directly through Sandboxie. Programs can be "forced" by name or by containing folder.
      • Run programs in more than one sandbox at the same time. This causes error SBIE1303 in the free version.
      See also: Register Sandboxie.
