How to get rid of the "Guest" account that 10.7.2 installes unasked ?

I wondered why I see a "Guest" Account on my login screen this morning - as I didn't use that.
So I went to system preferences to delete it - but I see that I can't delete - the minus Button is greyed out for that "Guest" Account.
I don't need a "Guest" Account as there's no one but me to use my mac.
So tell me please how I get this deleted from my Accountlist.
Thank you.

Ok, that makes it clear - but not helpfull.
1) Why is this account named "Guest" instead of "Find my Mac" ?
A "Find my Mac" account in Preferences/Users would make clear what it is for.
2) Why is this Account shown on my login screen ?
I understand that "Find my Ma" is more a "hidden" feature. So it should use a "hidden" account that isn't shown to the public on the login screen.
Solutions would be:
- Rename that Account from "Guest" to "Find my Mac"
- Don't display this account on the login screen and in the Account switcher - just show it in Preferences/User

  • How to Get Rid of the Extra cents left on your gift Card balance?

    I would very much like some help on how to get rid of the 65 cents I have left in my itunes account, without having to spend it on something, or make a new account, or contact Apple. Please someone help with this, I'm sure many other are having trouble as well!!!!

    I noticed there is an extension which lets you clear the title of the current page or replace it with other text. This seems to work equally well in private and non-private windows, however, it doesn't appear to have an option to automatically do it in all private windows. Maybe someone can add that feature (the author isn't maintaining the add-on any more).

  • When I try to buy something, I get an Apple-ID which is not the one I want to use, and I don't know how to get rid of it either, so that I can use my ID, which is in Mail, Contacts etc. The ID I get, I can't find, so that I can delete it. What to do?

    When I try to buy something, I get an Apple-ID which is not the one I want to use, and I don't know how to get rid of it either, so that I can replace it with my ID in Mail, contacts etc. The ID I get without wanting it, I can't find anywhere. I have to delete it. How do I solve this problem, anyone?

    My content was obtained through another ID, which popped up earlier. Now this one doesn't pop up, and my current ID doesn't pop up either, but another one. How do you find an ID which is not in the store, and not in Mail, contacts etc. either?
    Or is it possible to write the ID yourself when you want to buy something, not only to have it popped up being unable to be changed?

  • HOw to get rid of the borderline in the  render list item of the news brows

    HI,
    HOw to get rid of the renderlist
    border line,
    Give Feedback  link   
    Send To  link in the news browser.
    After removing thiese things, it should look like a normal html page .
    how to  achive this ,
    if coding required then which is the par file I need to modify
    thanks
    pkiran

    Hi PKG,
    the "GiveFeedback" and "SendTo" links are called "FlexUI" commands. Most of that stuff is highly configurable and naturally you can remove them in the KM Configuration at
    SystemAdmin->SystemConfig->KM->CM->UserInterface
    -> ... -> ResourceRnderer
    Your ResourceRenderer uses a CommandGroup. In this CommandGroup you can add/remove commands.
    For example un your case its the CommandGroup "NewsDisplayGroup"
    Kind Regards

  • How to get rid of the Login page in Portal?

    Hi Guys,
    I have a newly developed intranet portal project for my company which does not need login no more. I hope you can help me how to get rid of the login page in portal which is I know in every application you create, there should be a login. Is this possible that I can just simply type in to the URL address bar my application then it will no longer ask for any logins? Please help! Many thanks!
    Russel

    Hi Russel,
    You can give public access to pages, applications etc. Users won't need to supply a username/password then, while you still can hide some of the pages to authorized people.
    Check the access tab for pages and the manage tab for applications.

  • How to get rid of the black border around the artboard

    Hopefully my last question for tonight.
    I need to get rid of the black border around the artboard. The two images show my drawing lined up with the art board and then inside the artboard. The dark gray is not the artboard.
    As you see, the artboard has a black border. I need to get rid of it. It shows up in my project when my color key is green. The black won't go to transparent.
    So how-to get rid of the border? Thanks
    ***Update***
    I figured it out. View > Hide Artboards. Maybe this will help someone. Doesn't change the fact my spider looks like a tick:)

  • How to get rid of the "time out" when using DAQ AI in the example program

    I try an example file called "AcqVoltageSamples_IntClkDigRef" (Visual C++ .NET). It works great. However, if the program has not recieved the data, it sent out a timeout message. How to get rid of the "time out"? I cannot find anywhere in the code. Is this a property I have to reset somewhere else?
    Thank you,
    Yajai.

    Hello Yajai,
    The example program will use the default value for timeout, 10 seconds. To change this, you will have to set the Stream.Timeout value. I inserted this function into the example and set it equal to -1, and the program will wait indefinitely for the trigger signal without timing out. Please see the attached image to how this was implemented.
    I hope this help. Let me know if you have any further questions.
    Regards,
    Sean C.

  • How to get rid of the main text box in the back of the page AND move things

    I usually work in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign, but am creating two newsletter templates in Pages for a colleague, since it will be easier for her. But, for the life of me, I can't figure out how to get rid of the main text box in the back of the page that is driving me crazy. I just want a nice blank page that I can do whatever I want with. AND, I can't figure out how to select things so that I can move them, like shapes and text boxes. Some things seem to move fine, then other things just sit there. I am at the end of my rope!!!

    Hi, Dylan. Welcome to Discussions.
    If you're referring to the area where you just start typing when you open a new blank document, you can't get rid of it. But you also don't have to use it. You can insert text boxes and size and position them as you desire. Just be sure they're defined as Fixed on Page. When one is full and you want to continue it to another page (or to the side), click in the blank blue box on the lower right side of the text box. That will create another box and your overflow text will flow into it. Then position it where needed.
    Also, you can create a text box the width of the page and then set it for 2 or more columns.
    When you want to send something to the back and you may want to access it again later, just use the send backward command. If you send it all the way to the back, it will be behind the main text layer (where it will be safe from acvcidental movement) but you will have to click outside the work area and then drag the pointer to the object to select it.
    Hope this helps to get you started.
