Barry,

Be sure you aren't confusing the two users on your system! (one is "Barry Mahon" and the other is "administrato")

Barry. although you are a single human being with multiple user log ins on your computer, the computer does not "know" that all of these users are a single human. As far as your computer is concerned, different people.

Take my household as an example. I am the administrator on all of our computers. I am also an ordinary user on the one I mainly use and my wife is an ordinary user of the one she mainly uses. On my computer, the two accounts are a single human user but on my wife's, two different humans.

If you have an ordinary ;pg in and an administrator log in it is important for you to keep in your mind "which am I logged in to at this moment?". Ideally you are not logged in as administrator except for the brief times when you need administrator rights and you do all your ordinary work while logged in as an ordinary user. LOL, back in my working days that was real important. In addition to my regular log in I had a "prod" log in for emergency use. A mistake made while I was logged in "prod" could be real serious.
