Signing In to BT Yahoo! Online

Creating User-Specific Desktop Icons

If multiple people use your computer or if you have more than one Yahoo! ID or BT Username, you can create a desktop icon for each user to make signing in quick and easy. Whatever options you specify on the Sign In window are built in to your desktop icon. For example, if you specify that the Browser should save your password and/or sign you in to BT Yahoo! Messenger, those options are activated when you use your desktop icon to sign in. With one click, you can sign in to BT Yahoo! Online and Messenger and have your whole environment available.
