I forgot to add that all of my machines are set up with an Owner account as the
administrator, with separate accounts for other users that are NOT
administrators, (including my own account). I also set up guest accounts for
any company that requires the use of a computer. This practice saved me a lot
of work on at least one occasion. I was surfing the web and picked up a virus
on my account (Avira virus alert popped up, ect.). I immediately shut the
machine down and re-booted into the administrator account and did a virus and
malware scan. I removed the bad stuff and logged back in to my primary
(non-administrator) account. For some reason, I had no sound and no internet,
so I logged back into the admin account and backed up any important files in my
non-admin account. I then deleted the non-admin account and re-booted the
computer. I logged in to the admin account again, created a new non-admin
account for myself, logged into the newly recreated non-admin account and
restored the backups. I took less time (nearly) than typing this. It took WAY
less time than formatting and rebuild from scratch. Just another thought.
