Not to be outdone by M$, Apple has got its own catastrophic bug... "Snow Leopard's home directory -- the one sporting the name of the Mac's primary user -- is replaced with a new, empty copy after users log-in to a Guest account, log out, then log-in to their standard account. All the standard folders -- Documents, Downloads, Music, Picture and others -- are empty, while the Desktop and Dock have reverted to an "out-of-box" condition." http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9139250/Snow_Leopard_bug_deletes_all_user_data
This Guest Account function is a new Snow Leopard feature. It lets someone log into a Mac as a temporary user and when their business is done and they logout, all traces of their session are deleted. It looks like Snow Leopard is deleting far more than Apple intended. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
