Customizing the Guest Account

January 12, 2010 1:22 PM

Mac Leopard operating system: Can I customize the user icon and desktop wallpaper of the guest account? The default user icon for the guest account is a male silhouette; I would like to change it, but it does not give this option in the system preferences like it does for standard user accounts. Also, the default desktop wallpaper for the guest account is the outer space picture. It goes back to this desktop on every log in. I would like the guest account wallpaper to be a professional logo.

Best answer: Here's another way to do it. I did this on my previous Mac so I can confirm that it works. And thanks for the reminder to set it up on my new Mac!

Sadly, I don't. I never tried though. What I really wanted to change was the desktop image and clear out the excess in the dock.
