Install TBird in each of 2 Win7 User names, each with own profile
I'd like to install Thunderbird in a Win7 Pro machine, so that it displays in each of two User accounts, displaying in each that User's Thunderbird profile. Any thoughts on the best way to do this? Obviously, the User accounts can be made Admin accounts during the install if that's helpful.
Haven't seen anything on how to do this. Doesn't seem that multiple installs of TBird in the machine would be the answer. Might be one install in an admin account, installing both profiles, then somehow setting up TBird to display under the two User accounts, and selecting a different default profile for each User -- but I'm not sure that would work. Maybe it does need to be installed under each User name. Or maybe nothing would do what I want to do -- but it does seem to me a desired use pattern that might come up often in a family used computer.
Any thoughts appreciated.

You install Thunderbird only once for all users on a given machine. Just run the installer. If there is any prompt for this choose 'install for all users'.
Then each user can run Thunderbird independently from other users. A Thunderbird profile will be created for each user individually. So each user can set up their own email account(s).
Note, Windows is a multi-user OS. I.e. multiple users can be logged in to a machine simultaneously.
