Re: Limited User Account
Enable the Admin account, and then make your account limited. Easy as pie!
Edit - make the Admin account PW protected with a solid PW!

| said by Its a Secret  :Enable the Admin account, and then make your account limited. Easy as pie! Edit - make the Admin account PW protected with a solid PW! Thank you for your reply. Another question, when I am in my current account (the Admin account) and try to change it to a limited account, it tells me that I have to have an Admin account.
I'm sorry if I'm being dense about this, but how do I maintain my Admin account while changing the same set-up to a limited account? I'm not sure if I'm wording this correctly, but I guess I need/want both an Admin account and a Limited account that look alike, have the same shortcuts, desktops, folders, etc.
Again, sorry if I'm being dense. I'm just really afraid of getting hit again by one of those infections out there, it was a PIA to get rid of the remnents (I can only assume that I've been successful at that).

1 edit | You need to change your first account from your new Admin account.
I.E. Current account> 'George'. Create Admin account under 'Users'. Once the account is created, and still logged in to Admin, change your original (George) account to limited. That's it, done deal.

Thanks for your help with this and your patience with my density, I don't know why I didn't understand that the first time.

1 edit | No worries. We all start from somewhere, no matter where that is... 
Edit - I apologise as I was a bit obtuse in my initial explanation of this.
