True, if you have multiple regular users. For example, on my personal MBP, my wife has an account should she ever want/need to use my computer because no other computer was available and I was signed out of it, but I've had the computer for a year and she's used it twice.
Hide account but still use it - OS X Lion
Hi all,
I have this situation:
user1,
user2,
user3
I'd like to see only user1 and user3 on my Login screen and on my Fast-User switching screen too. But:
* can I still log on with user2 by manually typing username and password somewhere in Login screen?
* can i also fast-user-switch to user2 still, even though it is not shown with icon and name in the upper right corner (person silhouette-like icon)-I need to be able to fast-switch to user2, but not by clicking on the icon since I dont want it to be shown that there is user2 - is there some field/option to also type username and password in Fast-User Switching screen too?
Pls comment is such a thing possible.
In WinXP for example, there was the option not to display user accounts as icons so that user must type in username together with password. Im looking for a cross between these two approaches - display some users but don't display others. Is this possible?

When all else fails using my mac, I try the most obvious thing and normally it works. Blows my mind too.
