[QUOTE="TDTiz, post: 1814790, member: 401856"] That would be the logical answer right ? Here's where the problem extends beyond technical difficulty to user interaction. A lot of these guys are really old school and getting them to do anything outside of what they feel comfortable with is like driving a nail through my foot. It was tough enough to get them to use Macs as they're all PC guys (that was a miracle in itself right there), so not matter what I tell them, or how I explain it, when they are done they log out and walk away. I've tried to tell them logging out is not necessary, as I've set the screen saver to 1 minute with immediate password required. Though due to muscle memory and hints of superstitious caution surrounding potential hacking, the accounts always seem to be logged out. If i'm not in the office to log back into the Demo user account (or theirs for that matter) then it stays on the login screen until they come back. Also, that's not even taking into consideration the explosion of confused cries for help when one of them logged into the demo user by accident. "ALL MY FILES HAVE VANISHED" lets just say despite my best efforts to explain what a demo user is, I likely won't try that avenue again haha.
