Default Re: can't download messages on limited user account

I am using Windows XP home.

The PC is set up on LAN.

I exported the address book to a Shared Documents folder on computer A. I
am trying to get OE working on computer B. I will try to copy it to computer
B in the user where I need it to be.

I have already looked at those help sites, but I will review them again.

Thank you for your help, and hopefully I'll have success.
