Go into System Preferences > System > Users & Groups, unlock the padlock using your password, and establish a Guest Account and leave it running in that. You can delete that account later. So far as downloading do not give them the password to get connected.
Hang on to those original install discs like grim death! Using OS X.7 or later make a bootable USB thumb drive before running Installer! |
