User account tips
■
If you want to create an account for someone, but you do not want that user to have
full access to your computer, be sure to make that account limited. Remember that
limited accounts may not be able to install some older programs.
■
If a program or peripheral device is installed in one account, it may not be available
in other accounts. If this happens, install the program or device in the accounts that
need it.
■
Files created in one account are not accessible from other accounts unless the files
are stored in the Shared Documents folder. The Shared Documents folder is accessible
from all accounts on that computer and from other computers on the network.
