Can 2 users of same computer have own calendar?

My wife and I share one computer. We are running XP and Outlook 2002. Is it
possible for each to have their own instance of Outlook such that each has
their own calendar/email lists, etc? I suspect that if we create separate
..pst files, that this is the solution, but I'm lost as to where they would
need to reside, and/or how to have Outlook know where to find them. Is
simply putting the file within one's own local profile under document
settings simply enough, or does it have to be in a specific folder that
perhaps the local path must point to, or at least how do I tell Outlook where
to find the file?

When you run outlook for the first time logged in as a new user, it should
create a separate profile for that user.

It doesn't actually matter where the .pst file is, the important part is
telling Outlook where to find it. However, if all that you want it seperate
calendars, then you can simply create a new Calendar folder within the
mailbox that you are using now.
1. Ensure that you have the folder list up by going to the View menu and
making sure that Folder List is selected. (I always turn off the Outlook Bar,
but that is personal preference)
2. In the folder list click on Outlook Today - Usually at the very top of
the Folder List. Directly under it should be your Inbox.
3. Choose New Folder....
4. Change the "Folder contain:" to Calendar.
5. Give it a name
6. OK it
7. Enjoy the new calendar.

The easiest and best way to do this is for each of you and your wife to have
a separate user account on the computer and use "Fast User Switching". This
way each of you can use Outlook (as well as any other application) completely
separately without stepping on eachother's toes.
