Setting up new User and msconfig cthiggin 12/18/2008 8:40:01 PM Hello folks - I know how to set up another user account and to switch between users. I want to set up an account stricktly for Flight Sim - I need to know "IF" on this new "Flight Sim" desktop, can I go into msconfig and disable programs and processes that I do not want to run - "THEN" , when I switch back to my other desktop, all of the processes I need to run will be there. Thanks in advance, cthiggin
