User accounts are an integral part of Mac OS X, but for many people, they’re a source of confusion. No more, thanks to Kirk McElhearn’s straightforward explanations, which help you understand and manage all the accounts for people who use your Mac, even if the only person is you. You’ll learn how to create the right types of accounts for the different people who use your Mac, why you need at least two accounts, and what you can do with the many new options in Leopard’s parental controls. Kirk shows you how to set up a troubleshooting account to solve problems, use Fast User Switching, share files between users, manage login and startup items, and more. Kirk even reveals tricks for sharing music and photos among multiple users on your Mac using iTunes and iPhoto.
