several accounts in Mac OS X

Hey there! I was wondering whether you've made any experiences with this: I set up different user accounts on my macbook (personal/admin/guest/uni) so that I could supposedly "focus" on my uni-work and "not be distracted" when working. Trying to create some sort of an "office-atmosphere" on my macbook so to speak... Turns out this is more difficult then I had thought. I keep finding articles, documents etcetera when surfing from my personal account that - ideally - I would like to transfer to my uni-account as quickly as possible and just keep it there. Any suggestions on how this could be handled better? Thanx a lot. Have a good day! Martin 5 Comments

 You can use drop boxes...Submitted by dancingbrook on February 7, 2007 - 8:33am.
You can use drop boxes in user public folders to give something to another user, and/or you can use the shared folder, in the users folder, to put stuff you want to make available across users. I suspect, though I don't know how, that you could also create "groups" of users so that some users (guests for example) wouldn't be able to access a shared folder.
