User account tips
■ If you want to create an account for
someone, but you do not want that user to
have full access to your notebook, be sure
to make that account limited. Remember
that limited accounts may not be able to
install some older programs.
■ If a program or peripheral device is
installed in one account, it may not be
available in other accounts. If this happens,
install the program or device in the
accounts that need it.
■ Files created in one account are not
accessible from other accounts unless the
files are stored in the Shared Documents
folder. The Shared Documents folder is
accessible from all accounts on that
notebook and from other notebooks on
the network.
