I want to sync multiple users on the same PC, some with the Palm Desktop and some with Outlook

To set it up so that different users can sync to different PIMs (e.g. Outlook and Desktop), you must configure Windows for separate user profiles.

More Information

To set it up so that different users can sync to different PIMs (e.g. Outlook and Desktop), you must configure Windows for separate user profiles. Use the Password applet in control panel to set this up.

Follow this procedure:

1) Uninstall PocketMirror.
2) Use the Passwords applet to configure for separate user profiles.
3) Log in as the "Desktop" user account
4) Install Palm Desktop
5) Log out and log in to the "Outlook" user account
6) Install Palm Desktop (in the same directory as before, this just updates the registry and does not copy files)
7) Install PocketMirror

Now if you log in as "Desktop", you sync with the Palm Desktop. Logging in under "Outlook" will sync you with Outlook.
