Account Settings for Mac OSX

[Titan]

So I have my admin account set up how I like it. I know I should not use the admin account on a daily basis. How would I get it to a normal user account and restrict the admin account to only making system changes?

Could I just create a new account and make it an Admin Account and then change the rights of the other account? Is there a way to "copy" and account settings and then apply them to a new account?

Also, I have set up an account for my kid. However, when she tries to connect to webkinz it does not recognize her log in. When we try it from my account it works fine? Weird. Any thoughts on that?

Thanks for the input once again guys/gals.

Using the admin account is fine. You still get prompted to enter your admin password everytime something potentially dangerous is going to happen. I have been using it since the public beta of OS X.

Just don't run as root.

... and I don't know what a webkinz is...

Root is superuser or system admin. You can f alot of s up by logging in as this user. It's not easy to do unless you go looking for how to do it.

And yes, kid free......
