Is there a way so that another user apart from me can login and it will bring up a customised desktop and dock specifically for that user? i.e. different to my desktop with my shortcuts etc? How do i do this? and how do i go about setting up a login screen? Thanks.

Click your apple, system preferences, Users. You can add a user from there. To switch users, click your apple and Log Out.

Thanks, done that. How do i keep an application running such as Limewire when the new user logs in? What i want to do is leave Limewire downloading in my username but when I logout i dont want it to close... I want it to keep downloading. Does anyone know how i can do this? And i dont want it running as the other user, just in my name... so can i set Limewire to be an application that is needed for the mac to run so that it doesnt close when i logout?

You can't, at least with Jaguar. Logging out of one user closes all the processes (programs) that that user has opened up. Panther (OS 10.3,) when it comes out, has fast user switching, and it might be able to do what you want it to. ----paxcirc.a-

O.K. thanks, I will wait and see if panther does it. The other problem I have is I cant get rid of new users I have made from the list in system preferences. I highlight them, click delete and it says warning this will delete users or something. I click ok and it puts them in deleted users folder but they have not gone from the list. I have also deleted the files manually in the users folder. But they are still in the list. How do i clear that list? The reason I deleted some was because when i logged in the screen just stayed blue and the computer didnt actually go into osx....

Try tossing the prefs. p
