[QUOTE="junkiegeek, post: 866492, member: 107892"] Oh, I'm trying to do the same thing here, copy one account pref. to another. Mainly because I want to make one account for internet usage (so all mainly used internet program opens at log in) and another one where is for non internet (so bare min. log in programs). In other words I kinda want a copy of my account and I can edit from there. The thing it =/ with Smackintosh's advice, that makes me copy my whole user folder? That is including all my files. I know how to set up my another account to have the same home directory as my other account. I just want my account to have to same preferences. Like desktop settings, dock settings, program settings and etc. Is there anyway to do that without copying over a whole user to another? ohz forgot to mention ia m 10.5 not 10.4 was it wrong to reply in this post?
