What Are My Personal Settings For Mac
Simply create a new user account in System Preferences - Accounts. The new user won't have access to any of your personal data from your account. If you're sure you won't be using that computer any more and you have a copy of all your data that's important to you, you can delete your own account from the new account afterwards. EDIT: I think this is overkill for most cases because creating a separate account will already protect against casual snooping. But if you're really worried about the colleague trying to access your files, the best option is to do a multiple-pass, low-level format of the hard drive (Disk Utility can do this when booting from the OS X install disc), then reinstall a clean copy of OS X. That will take about 30 extra minutes of your time and provide complete peace of mind.

Hi all - Upon booting up one fine morning, I discovered all my personal settings had reverted to default - 'blue' appearance, mouse tracking speed, touch-pad click settings, screensaver (not desktop pic or hotcorners, though). In addition, general work-flow from one window to next, or from text field to text-field is very choppy. I have run Techtool, an anti-virus scan, repaired permissions. All my software is up to date.
Any ideas as to what is going on? Thanks in advance. Message was edited by: orestesonice Also, when I try to change all these settings in preferences, the changes last only as long as the preferences window is open. When I close it, all the settings revert back to 'normal.'
