FAST SWITCHING BETWEEN USERS

Fast User Switching for faster change between two accounts

Working in a shared Mac this was one of the major issue I faced that whenever I try to login on the machine, I had to wait for long time which was painful during productive hours.
After some research, I got an option that has fixed my problem to some extent. You can try this by enabling Fast User Switching to allow you to switch between accounts without logging off and logging on each time. To get this done, you have to go to System Preferences, and select Accounts and then Login Options. From here you need to turn on Enable fast user switching. Now you can switch between users using a pull-down menu on the right side of the menu bar and you don't have to logoff/in every time.

MAC THEME FOR YOUR PC

How to give a trendy "Mac look" to your PC Have you ever imagined of giving a Mac OS X look to your PC?

Login screen will also look exactly as of Mac OS X. The startup tune will no longer be traditional Microsoft tune, it will be changed into Mac startup chime. Also the error tone, clicks, cursors, buttons & selectors on the browsers and all other applications will give a Mac look. Not j

MAKING A FILE/FOLDER INVISIBLE

How to hide a file/folder using Terminal This is one of the greatest technique that I ever came across, I had to share my Mac in office and was curious about hiding confidential data. This was when I started exploring and finally came up with this solution. These commands are to be typed in Terminal. To make a file or folder invisible in Mac OS X Finder setfile -a V testfile.txt Here is goes, the file or folder is no longer visible via the Finder GUI, though it will be by Terminal. Your files are still there and you can find them via the command line and will show with an ls command. If you want your files and folders to be visible again, use this command: To make a file or folder visible again in Mac OS X Finder setfile -a v testfile.txt Now the file/folder will be visible again to the Finder, cool isn't it? Please Note: setfile is a command line utility included in Apple’s Developer Tools, which is a highly recommended optional install included on any Mac OS X install
