Copy the contents of your existing account into the /Users/Shared folder. 3. Log out, then log into the new account and replace the contents of the new account's home folder with the folders you placed in the Shared folder. 4. Log out and log in again so Mac OS X reads the new user preference files that you just copied from /Users/Shared. 5. Then go to System Preferences and Delete the old User Account Cheers, Ronni -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml> Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> Unsubscribe - <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
