Advanced Account Options | October 31, 2007

You can access some hidden advanced account options for users (using an account with administrative privileges) by unlocking the the System Preference’s Accounts pane and then “right-clicking” on the user’s name to bring up the contextual menu with only one item: “Advanced Options…”.
