The popular Microsoft Outlook program allows multiple accounts to be set up on a single computer. By default, one selected account automatically signs in each time the program opens. This can be frustrating if you have multiple accounts on your computer, but cannot figure out how to use them. In order to switch accounts on Outlook, a change must be made to the profile settings. Once changed, Outlook will give you a choice of accounts to sign in to, each time it loads.
