I'm trying to set up a guest account on my Mac, where as soon as the person logs in, they are able to right click, rather than having to go into system preferences and changing it every time. Is this possible?

I've thought about creating a regular account to do this, as this aspect would be easier. However, I don't want a bunch of people who aren't regular users of my computer having their files taking up space on my hard drive. So if having right click on a guest account isn't possible, is it possible to make a "regular' account delete files and such whenever the person logs out?

Is there any way to do either of these things, preferably for free?

I'm not sure why they can't right-click now. I just enabled my Guest account to be certain, and I was able to right-click with ease. OS X supports right-clicking out of the box, so I'm not clear on why you can't or think you can't on your Mac. What hardware exactly do you have?

Probably should have been more specific. I'm using the magic mouse. I've got my account set up so that I don't have to command click for right click, that I can just right click. I can't seem to get it to work with the guest account though.

Every time you log out of the Guest account, I think everything goes back to their default setting, so every time you log into it, you'll have to change the settings again. Just create a regular account and configure it the way you want. Then make the password hint the actual password.

Is there any way, for free, to get everything to delete when the person logs out then? Something like what Deep Freeze does.
