I have a G4 running 10.4.11. I got the system from another department in my college and cannot figure out this problem. All the users can change their background picture and remove ? from their docks, but as soon as they log out and log back in or the computer is restarted, all the changes revert back to what they were originally.
I thought that perhaps the computer was loaded from an image and it is preventing me from changing this but the original administrator says he didn't do that (he also doesn't know why these changes won't stick).
Here's what I've tried already:
- creating new users and deleting the old ones
- deleting the preference plists
- deleting everything in the ByHost file
- deleting the globalpreference file and creating a new one
FYI, I also created a su login and I can change the background and other desktop preferences for that login, but not for anyone else, not even the administrator login.
Any ideas? Thanks!
