10/12/2005 - 15:56 (Category: Mac Os X) You can create a default user setup. That's helpful to create a new user or even to restore an old one (in case an improbable virus catch you!). Whenever you add a new user by using System Preferences (Accounts pane), Mac Os X creates a default directory structure identical to that is located here: /System/Library/User Template/english.lproj (or your_language.lproj of course) the trick is using a customized directory structure, as well as setting up default preferences of most used applications in order to create a default user set up. You could also use your customized set up to restore your account in case of big damages. Let's see: 1) open System Preferences -> Accounts 2) add a new user 3) arrange the new user home directory as you wish 4) run most used applications and set up their preferences 5) log out and log in as an administrator 6) open Terminal (Applications -> Utilities ->Terminal.app) 7) type: sudo mv /System/Library/User\ Template/English.lproj /System/Library/User\ Template/English.lproj.old (this is a backup copy in case something goes wrong) 8) type: sudo cp -R /Users/new-user-short-name /System/Library/User\ Template/English.lproj Done! Go back
