A Simple Question

[asnbd]

Hi,

I have a simple question.

Can one login to his account, run programs, and then "Switch" to another person's account and do things?

Thanks.

If what you are suggesting were to be feasible then the whole idea of "accounts" would be entirely pointless.

You can log on to another account if you know the account name and password.

You can log on to another account if you know the account name and password.

That is if they are password protected. My daughter has four accounts on her computer, one for her and her husband, one each for her two kids and one for her stepson. It is easy to move from one to another. They are there merely to please the kids, and make them feel as though they have their own little corner. They are forbidden to access the parents account, and it is the only one that can access the INTERNET.
