[QUOTE="sprale, post: 1337694, member: 46713"] This reminds me of my first experience with OS X. Years ago when it was released, I tried to change the name of my home folder to my actual name, seeing what I thought was a typo in my short name. The next time I logged in, I had a clean account, since a new home folder was created automatically, but leaving the original intact, yet severed from my log-in ID. Moral? Don't much about with home folders unless you know what you are doing. [/QUOTE]
