• PC User's Tip
  

If you’re running Windows XP Professional as a local user in a workgroup environment, you can create a password reset disk to log onto your computer if you forget your password. To create the disk:

1. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click User Accounts.

2. Click your account name.

3. Under Related Tasks, click Prevent a forgotten password.

4. Follow the directions in the Forgotten Password Wizard to create a password reset disk.

5. Store the disk in a secure location, because anyone using it can access your local user account.


• Mac User's Tip
  

This week for our Mac user tip we want to tell you how to switch to a different user account without logging out. Why, well after last week's fiasco of Mac user tip, I just want to do something simple that doesn't involve hard to pronounce words.

All you have to do is turn on '''Fast User Switching''' in the '''Accounts preference pane''', and then use the '''Fast User Switching''' menu in the menu bar. See . . . nice and simple - with no big words.
