Is it possible to set different programs to default for different user
profiles in XP?

Thanks

Hi,

It's not the same with every program. Different programs have different registry settings. Also, this cannot be done without a third-party utility like:

Set the default browser for your user profile:

Set the default email client on a per-user basis
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/defaultmail.htm

Per User Display Settings:
