I want to thank Diane and Nadyne for the tip on setting up Fast Switching on our MacBook Pro. I now have it running with two identities and we each have our own Entourage email working perfect. The menu pull-down switch is pretty cool and it is fast.
I only ran into one problem changing over. It was really hard to move needed .plist files from the old primary user to the added user. The MBP nagged me about not having permission to copy file from one user to another. We both have Admin authorization and I had Sharing ON but may have messed up the setting. I finally got it done by doing it he hard way. It will be interesting to see what happen to our settings when, and if, we decide to go with Office 2011. One negative thing about the OS X Fast Switch occurs when you want to Restart or Shut down and OS X forces you to type in your User ID and Password. This reminded me of Window saying do you really want to do that! I don't think my wife will put up with having to type her user ID and Password to just Quit. I learned (by messing around) the nag box only comes up if you have used the Fast Switch. My wife is the primary user and she can restart or quit as normal provided she has not used the switch. When i encountered the nag note, I just entered root and the pwd which was easier than typing in the user ID. The bottom line is I like Fast Switch and thank both of you for the tip.
