Yes she will...

That's fine. Just log out of your username (top left) and she can log in with hers. Me and my wife do it regularly.

snags and squarebear, many thanks for your quick replies.

Why not set her up her own Windows userid on your computer (very easy to do).

She will have her own desktop, browser etc. and she can do whatever she likes without affecting anything you do.

When she has gone just delete her account from Windows (also easy to do).

The police will be around.

Yes you can, my OH and I often forget and post something with each other's names because one of us forgot to log out and left AB open, and the other sneaked in. All you have to do is log out so the other ABer can log in!

You work fast. 3 days and you've already got other AB'rs visiting.

ummmm

Maybe he's going to introduce someone to AB.

If you're fibbing about your "friend" .... a huge boxing-gloved fist will pop out of the screen and punch you on the snoz.

It's all part of the "New, improved Answerbank".

You have been warned. :o)

You could always get her to use an internet browser that is different to what you normally use e.g. if you use Firefox let her use IE. That way the cookies are separate and you wouldn't need to keep logging in and out.

They may also be coming round with their own computer, in which case, yes, two computers can connect via a router to the same site at the same time and are totally independent.
