barjam_2

we have 5 accounts on our laptop me n hubby share 1 and kids have the others, but kids always use our accounts is there anyway i can join all accounts i know i can take off the passwords but is there an easy way of sending all files from all accounts to just into one account

you can go into explorer and drag and drop files, favorites/desktop etc from a to b, under c:\documents and setttings, just be careful not to drag whole directories, otherwise you could end up overwriting the profile.

Hi barjam
Why would you want to do that?
Anything the children download, leaves your settings at risk. Change your password to keep them out. You would be sharing emails, messenger online buddies, would keep popping up, no one would know who is chatting to who, kids can delete your working files and read private docs, etc....

But having loads of accounts slows down your computer, and takes up unnecessary disk space if its not required.

we all have different emails, & messenger is not signed in automatically so buddies shouldnt be popping up cos we all sign out when finished with msn etc.., kids have never ever deleted any of my files before so i'm not to worried about them doing that and anything i really wanted to stop my kids from seeing i would encrypt it,

but thanks anyway for pointing out those things:beer:
