[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1636878"] 1. That is doable. After you create your user account, in System Preferences, Security & Privacy, uncheck "Disable Automatic Login" and it should automatically log you in when it starts. Be advised you are thereby giving anybody who gains physical access to your machine access to your account as well. You will be prompted if you install new software, or if you try to run something you got from the internet, just to make sure you really do want to do that. 2. No. All you need is Onyx from [URL="http://www.titanium.free.fr"]here.[/URL] Get the version for Yosemite. Run it once every 6 months to a year, with the default settings. Done. Note: Because you are getting Onyx from the developer at that site, Yosemite will ask you the first time if you are sure you want to run it because it came from the internet. Just say yes one time and after that Yosemite won't ask again. Also, when you kick off Onyx, it will prompt for an administrator's password. It needs that authority to do the maintenance. If you are an admin account, just give your password, and if you are NOT an admin, give an admin login and password.
