As long as you're the only user of your computer, this will make no
difference ("All Users"=You).
If you did this on another machine with several users, you'd make a mess.
XP was actually designed to be run with a limited account, which would
have prevented this, or at least warned about it, but limited accounts
are so cumbersome that I don't know anyone who uses them.
I have a beta copy of Vista, which has gone to an even worse security
model, which has pops up for even the most minor of system changes, and
is worse than XP. I see no compelling reason for anyone to switch just yet.
I know what you are saying, Hugh. And it's my lunacy that has to have
all programs listed in one place. So in "Documents and Settings" I moved
everything from "All Users" to "Computer_Owner" with no apparent loss;
it's just nice to know where everything is. There's no Playboy material
here but *periodically* I do keep certain files that I should know
better not to have; I keep them encrypt (or is it encrypted?) using
Cryptext ... and when Cryptext gets tired (happens when resources are
low), I have PMEncrypt as a backup (both excellent for what they are
supposed to do). Anyway, my wife is a totally non-user of computers
(she's the people-person in the family). As for the g/f business,
program, applet, whatever; that should be excellent for whatever ails my
own system ... that's when such a program is available ;-)
So as a result of all the good advice from PCWorks, Firefox is totally
re-installed, the font size is improved, the "logging on" problem is
taken care of, Notepad+ is working fine ... all is well with the
computer. A few more questions later on.
