It allows the user to change basic system settings quickly.  As a software developer, I&#8217;m forced to test applications under the Guest account.  If you switch to the Guest account,  you know that you have to set up your system from a scratch.  Opening <strong>Finder<\/strong>&#8216;s Preferences to display main volume, external drives, CDs\/DVDs, add this folder and that folder to the sidebar, dah, dah, dah\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6  And DeskControl makes switching accounts less stressful.<br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><\/p>\n<table width=\"510\" border=\"10\" cellspacing=\"10\" cellpadding=\"10\">\n<tr>\n<td width=\"240\" valign=\"top\"><a href=\"mac\/mac_shareware\/deskcontrol\/deskcontrol_intro_01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"mac\/mac_shareware\/deskcontrol\/thumbnail_deskcontrol_intro_01.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"150\" alt=\"Mac software DeskControl\" \/><\/a><\/a><\/td>\n<td>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td width=\"240\" valign=\"top\"><a href=\"mac\/mac_shareware\/deskcontrol\/deskcontrol_intro_02.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"mac\/mac_shareware\/deskcontrol\/thumbnail_deskcontrol_intro_02.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"150\" alt=\"Mac software DeskControl\" \/><\/a><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\nThe beauty of this software title is that you can save your system settings in an application file (.dcl).  If you just double-clicking on a saved file, you can load your system settings.  Then just click on Run.  If you switch accounts, you can still use the same saved file to load system settings.<\/p>\n<p>Just as before, DeskControl is distributed as a freeware title.  Why!?  I&#8217;m too tired to submit it to <strong>Mac App Store<\/strong>.  Besides, we don&#8217;t quite get along with them well, anyway.  Though it&#8217;s a beta version, it&#8217;s fully functional and will expire in December 31st.  It hasn&#8217;t even a day since I started developing DeskControl.
