settings gone bad
I know the control userpasswords2, but possibly I'm doing it wrong.
I boot fine into my desktop. The problem is this. The screen saver comes up when it should, and eventually the monitor turns off [after 20 minutes]. Not a problem. I had it set for this b4 the pccillin crash. The problem is. b4 PCC, when the monitor went off, I only had MY account. The admin account was pretty much inaccessible to dead. That was fine. It's a 1 person machine. And when I'd hit space or move the mouse it'd wake up to MY desktop. after PCC, it now does the same, but it switches to the admin desktop [wasteland nothing there], then I have to switch users, use passwords, and logoff. QUIT I now have to tell it to ignore another one being logged on if it turns off the monitor. Really need a switch somewhere to tell this machine there's ONLY one USER, set yourself accordingly. So how do I get this admin account to go back to non-existence EXCEPT when I want it [which is never], but I'm sure there's something in the future where this OS will say ONLY the admin account can do that. -- more pix @ http://members.toast.net/cbminfo/index.html |
