Hi,
Like I guess many people new to OSX, I created my main account as an admin account.
Now, after nearly 2 years I have decided that really I ought to listen to the advice of people who know better and change my main account to a standard user.
I suppose the steps are:
1. Using my existing admin account, create a new admin account
2. From within this new admin account, change my existing account to be a standard user
Firstly - is this possible? Is there anything that I should be aware of? Will some things need reconfiguring? Will my standard user account still have access to all the apps, as before (assuming I tick all apps when setting the account)?
Secondly - when I install new s/w, should I do it via my new admin account or via my standard user account?
Thanks.
