Would it be possible to make a applescript that switched between to prefrences becoz my sister always changes all the prefs for msn messenger so i thought that say i had to prefs 1 called msn meffenger.prefs or wateva its ment to be called and one called msn messenger1.prefs and then make a applescript that switched thier names when run and then launches msn.
is this possible? if so can someone please write me a script

thanks so much
 
Uh. Create an extra User account for the computer. You will both have your own preferences then.
 
Yes, that is what I would suggest. But an Applescript like that is possible, I know because I had to create a much more complicated version for something else I was doing.
 
Ok ill create another user just thought it would be easyier to do it with AS since all my work it on the current user so i guess ill have to transfer that accross
 
If you use it mostly now, create an extra user for your sister, and just move HER stuff. simple.
 
do you know how i could edit msn messenger so it uses a different prefs coz then i could just make a nother version of msn and tell it to use the other prefs

thanks
 
Um, why would you do this? Did you have trouble getting the second user account set up?

I doubt you could get it to use another preference file, even if you have two copies of the program, unless you use a different account, since most programs store preferences in your user library.
 
I found the messenger prefs file and thought it mite be possible to mod a 2nd vs of messenger to use a defferent prefs file
 
Oh, it is possible. But we're just too lazy to do it for you, and we are gonna keep telling you that the simplest solution is to create a second user for your sister.
