Hi,

I run my Mom as a Guest Account on my Mac to add iBooks and manage her iCloud stuff. I was just wondering if there is a way I can run her account "Windowed" as opposed to Fast User Switching Pretty effortless, but I hit my head sometimes. For instance, I like to load her iBooks up with some Epubs, and then realize I left one on my Desktop. (D'oh!) Also, I could set up sharing, but the privacy freak in me doesn't like having shared folders between accounts. Yeah, it's no big deal, but I feel like maybe there's something more effective. I know this use-case is kind of small, but maybe other's are running into the same problem/solution? Thanks!

Figured it out. Using Screens VNC. Had to tweak some sharing preferences but it wasn't too darn hard. Can even log in from my iPad, fwiw. If anyone ever wants to know the setup, message me :)
