[QUOTE="marttram, post: 1056205, member: 156519"] Hi everyone, I've got a question to which I couldn't find an answer. Since I got my MacBook, I log only into my admin account to use it. Basically I've created a normal user account but I've never used it. Now I've been told it is a bad idea from a security point of view and I would like to start using my user account instead of the admin account. BUT: all my files/settings belong to the admin account of course and I am not keen on starting from scratch with the user account. Is there a way to move settings/content to the user account? Or a way to give the admin status to my current user account so that the admin account becomes a user account and the user account the admin account? Thanks in advance for your answer. Yours, marttram [/QUOTE]
