I did what you said, but you mention "fast user switching" in accounts pane. Is this in system preferences? I don't see "fast user switching". Where exactly is it? If it matters, I'm using Jaguar 10.2.8. I really appreciate the help. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <>< sacredsystem ><> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
