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.
