How to go from multiple users to one login?

[qwikstreet]

Is there a way to take a Mac that has multiple user login (other logins have no info saved on it really) and take it to the original where it was a one user login when starts up.

Meaning you don't want that user login screen when you start up your computer right? ... you just want it to automatically log into your main account?

To do that, go to System Preferences > Accounts - Then check "Log in Automatically as ..."

Hope this helps

Will this remove other user files and directories?

No, all this does it automatically logs in your main account. it doesn't effect your other user directories/files. Do you want to remove your other accounts? If so, you can delete users in the Accounts menu also.

Is there a way I can rename the main account that is on this iMac.

Yes just click edit in the Accounts section of System Prefs. btw if you can't press delete on an account, how can i delete the account in another way?

Ok I got the name changed and other users deleted. However, its not letting me change the short name.
