If you have multiple PSO accounts that you frequently use, you may get tired of re-entering your login/pass each time you want to use a character that's on a different account. After setting up with software called Sandboxie, you can access a different account without re-entering your login information each time you want to play on a different account. ■ Download/install Sandboxie ■ Create a sandbox for each PSO account you have. Name each one so you know which account you will use for each. For instance, I named my first sandbox "PSO1Nessly" (Nessly is the account name) and named the second sandbox PSO2Honeycut (Honeycut is the account name). ■ After you've created the sandboxes, you'll see them from your main window. ■ Now, we will set up each sandbox to use a different account. Right click on your PSOBB shortcut, wherever it is on your computer you access it. Select Run Sandboxed ■ You'll be presented with a window asking which sandbox to use. Select one of your PSO account's sandbox. ■ The game should start as normal. If you're playing the game in window mode, notice the pound signs (#) located in the title of the window. These #s indicates the game is running in a sandbox. Log into one of your PSO accounts and go to the lobby. After you load into the lobby, close out the game completely. That sandbox now has that account's information saved. ■ Perform the same steps (steps 4 -6) for all the different accounts you have making sure you select a different sandbox each time you log into a different different account. ★After doing this for all of your PSO accounts / sandboxes, all you need to do to change accounts is right click on your PSOBB shortcut and run it in the correct sandbox dedicated to the account want to play. HOW DOES THIS WORK? Each sandbox is a virtual environment that doesn't know about the other sandboxes. So if you log into your account in Sandbox A, the login information won't get overwritten when Sandbox B logs in with a different account. If you purchase Sandboxie, you can run multiple sandboxes simultaneously, otherwise, you're limited to 1 sandbox open at a time. If you need help, just holler. DISCLAIMER: I am not affiliated with Sandboxie in any way. I just thought this was a neat trick that can save hassle from re-typing login credentials each time you switch accounts.
