   Create a profile for your wife. When she is using the computer, and   
   opens Netscape, she will then have only her accounts set up.  When you   
   go on, use your profile, which will have only your accounts.  You can   
   even set up separate desktop shortcuts for the two profiles, to avoid   
   Profile Manager.   
      
   This is exactly the reason to have profiles.
