18552	2001-09-10 03:36:00	This month's NZ PC World states: 'One way to delete your index.dat files is by logging on as a different user.' The directions are clear, but before I attemt to do this, I wonder what the consequences will be: does this mean every time I want to use the computer / boot it up, that I have to enter a password or other procedure? Can I get rid of the 'new user' and return to the normal situation (of not having to choose the user)? Why do people configure a computer for different users anyway - for security or preferred desktop settings? Thanks for your help.	Guest (0)

The changing users thing won't work if you choose not to have seperat History and Cache folders (which I reccomend due to the space they take up). If you enable it, you will get a list of installed users at startup (press cancel for default). Shutting down to dos mode will be an easier solution (have a look in a post a few days ago).	Guest (0)
