[QUOTE="chscag, post: 999244, member: 46727"] Moving programs, info, files, data, and associated permissions from one user to another is a manual process. It can be tedious and may even require you to reinstall some programs again. Certain programs (MS Office for one) have files and folders scattered about and are difficult to move without a reinstall. If possible, - and if you've been making regular backups with Time Machine - try recovering from a backup first. If you haven't been making backups, you've got to decide on either a reinstall or manually moving all your user info to the new user. You will also have to assign the new user "admin permissions". See the following Apple discussion thread for which files have to be moved: [URL="http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6185507"]LINK[/URL] Regards. [/QUOTE]
