Reset Snow Leopard user accounts/preference My kids completely changed everything in their user account, what is the easiest way to reset everything to default (without reinstalling everything) including:


Name of hard drive
Menu items in Finder
Dock size and items
Size/appearance of things
Even some applications have been moved from their original location
Name of hard drive
Click enter, rename it
Menu items in Finder
What do you mean by that?
Dock size and items
Trashing ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist will do the trick
Size/appearance of things
Trashing the .plist file under ~/Library/Preferences
Even some applications have been moved from their original location
You'll have to move them back to /Applications manually.


In order for that not to be reproduced, you could try Parental Controls under System Preferences > Account and limit what they can do on their account.
