running as a non admin user

[Darcy Burnard]

Hi everyone.  Recently I've seen a lot of messages from people who  
have gotten in to trouble by doing things like renaming and deleting  
applications.  One thing I would suggest is to create a second user  
account for administrative things, and then downgrade your standard  
account to a regular user.  Then, you can only effect things in your  
home folder.  If you need to do anything that involves things other  
than your home folder, you get prompted for an administrator name and  
password.  Definitely a good way to prevent accidents.
You do this in the accounts section of system preferences.
