[QUOTE="karudzo, post: 327182, member: 17652"] You may want to try the following; warning- make sure that you type it right. This process will take all of your original account's data and overwrite your current account's data. In my example I use AUSER for your first account name, BUSER for your second (replace with your users' short names): 1. Open Terminal 2. Type [B]sudo su[/B] and enter your password. 3. Type [B]chown -R BUSER ../AUSER/*.*[/B] 4. Type [B]cp -Rf ../AUSER/ .[/B] 5. Logout and back in as the new user. It is a bit complicated- you may want to ask someone familiar with Unix to help you out. [/QUOTE]
