Wha? That makes no sense. Each user's data goes into their own users folder. I suppose that when you write "partition" you really mean he reinstalled the OS and he might have done that because the system was installed in some kind of dopey demo mode and nobody knew the correct password to fix it. If you've got an administrator level login adding another user is a trivial task. -Curt

Each has a guest login thatdoesn't allow the guest to save data or files when logging out - the workmust be abandoned. How can I create a second user rather than a "guest" sothat they can log in independently and keep/save their work when they logout?_______________________________________http://www.okiebenz.comTo search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to:http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com_______________________________________http://www.okiebenz.comTo search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to:http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________http://www.okiebenz.comTo search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to:http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
