Change Name in a Multiuser situation doesn't work! - Version: 1.2, 3/28/2004 04:41PM PST

I tried to rename a not Admin User without a PW. When i logged as Admin I doesn't get the Simple User in the list. When I logged in as the Simple User Acounts Enhancer will have a Password. But this user dosn't have one!
Can anybody tell how he get this SW running?

I think this software is still in Beta?!

Is there a ReadMe or anything else? I looked on the Website an on the Immage but there is nothing.

I tested version 1.0 and 1.1 of Account Enhancer on few macs and it worked fine but unfortunately it had some very bad bugs, which I and the users discovered later. I am very sorry for the problems Account Enhancer caused on some computers. To release Accounts Enhancer with these bugs was a big mistake and I really regret it. I have now worked for few days with rewritting the application and testing it on more computers. If you are not sure if you should use Accounts Enhancer please create a new temporary account and test it on this account... or you can read the article in Apple Support Database to manually change short names (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106824).

I wanted a way of doing this before it came out, but luckily for me i decided to wait before trying it, and after seeing the results i don't think i will be messing with it....i'm going to leave my short name just as it is.
