I am having some difficulty with the Limited Capability Accounts in OSX
10.2.1 - specifically I am not able to setup more than one application
in the 'My Application' folder. Only one application shows up in this
folder and it is always the same one.
I have two children that like to play educational/entertainment games
on the iMac, so I set up an account for them with limited capabilities.
For their account - in System Preferences / Accounts ...
<checked> 'Use Simple Finder'
<checked> 'Show these applications in "My Applications" folder:'
<checked> 'Others'
... and under this 'Others' I have located and added these games and
made sure they are <checked> as well.
I even started Terminal, 'su -' to root, 'ls -la' the
"/Users/{childrens_id}/Library/Managed Items/My Applications"
directory to make sure that these are there and YES they are...
But when I logon to my children's account only the same damn game icon
is displayed, the rest are not displayed. So I logoff and logon as
myself, check the System Preferences / Accounts and all these games are
listed and checked as I want them to be. Funny... so I start Terminal,
- as before - list the "My Applications" directory and behold... ONLY
THAT ONE GAME IS THERE!
What! What! - is this a bug?! What am I doing wrong?! ... meanwhile my
children are bugging me "daddy when are you going to finish?" grrrr.
And please someone tell me where I can find an "Eject CD" icon, since
the 'Simple Finder' provides no way to eject the CD drive (a lot of
games require the CD to be loaded).
Just to be a [EMAIL PROTECTED] I put aliases of these games in the
"Documents" directory and things work - but I don't like loose ends (I
am a stubborn fool) and still have no way to eject CDs.
Help deeply appreciated - LD
