What is a user profile?
A User Profile is the collection of properties that define the information you want to store for users of your web application. A Profile object allows you to automatically save and retrieve user information across multiple visits to a web application. An application’s profile object is defined using a simple XML elements in the application’s configuration file (web.config). The ASP.NET 2.0 runtime groups these defined properties into a dynamically generated class. When the ASP.NET HTTP lifecycle starts, it dynamically creates a Profile object that contains the properties you have defined in the Profile section of the configuration file, properly typed. The object is then added to the current HttpContext object and is available to pages through the Profile property. Similarly, at the end of the ASP.NET HTTP lifecycle, ASP.NET automatically saves the Profile to the underlying data store.

AddressWise allows more than one User Profile. Each User Profile holds all the User and Format details for a User. Thus, if you want to use AddressWise for both business and personal use, you should set up two User Profiles. Use the User Profiles command in the Options menu to set up or choose a User Profile. Use the Open, Add New and Delete commands to open a profile, create a new one or delete one that is no longer needed. User is used to change the User Details. Note that you can also change the current User Profile, when you are sending an E-Mail or a fax, or writing a letter. The current profile is always shown on the title bar of the main AddressWise dialog.
