Create and switch "mini" users within one Mac OS X User.
Using the Mac OS X built in mulitple user functionality, each person who uses a Mac can have a unique user experience. The downfall is that you have to set up that entire user, even if you only use the computer to do simple tasks, such as check your email or have an address book. MiniSwitch allows people to create mini users, and switches between the user-specified applications and files for those users. Please back-up your data BEFORE using MiniSwitch.
Warning for MailSwitch Users: MiniSwitch alters the MailSwitch folder, breaking the functionality of MailSwitch. Once you use MiniSwitch, coverting back to MailSwitch is difficult. Please see the MiniSwitch FAQs for details on coverting back to MailSwitch.
