Talk:Multiple user accounts

I wrote a !Choices application to help towards doing just this. It lives in the user root directory of each of my users on my server. It is run at log-on and it sets various Choices: paths to itself. It can also live locally, and by running it it will set itself to be the 'current' user choices.

See http://mdfs.net/Docs/Comp/RISCOS/Choices/

Interesting. I like the flexibility of being able to easily set and unset a choices path. That could be very useful in eg: switching users.

• Click a logout button
• user's choices gets unset
• New person logs in
• New choices set
• run new user's login script - basically a desktop file setting screen res, background, apps to run etc. (if such a thing is sensible)

Of course, this would also require a logout script to close down any programs that aren't needed by a new user, which might be tricky. Probably want to close all programs started by the user, and any in their login script.
