Don't leave your Mac OS X computer vulnerable

If you have your computer set up for multiple users, you might remember that by default they have access to potentially damaging applications stored in the Applications menu. For example, while the NetInfo Manager and Terminal applications require the administrator's password to do any irreparable harm, a user can still wreak havoc on the system. To protect yourself from this danger, create a folder named My Applications in your Users directory. Then move the programs from the main Applications folder into the Users' My Applications directory. This way, you'll be the only one who has accëss to the programs. Remember, however, to only move the programs that you want to limit access to.
