Another thing I found about Leopard Guest Accounts while I was researching on my previous post about the logs: It’s really easy to change the default which is used to make this account.
Say you want a certain document or a link to a website to appear on the Desktop each time a new user logs in. Remember that you can’t just copy items on the Desktop directly as they get deleted at logout. All you need to do is to add the files/folders you want in this location:
~/System/Library/User Template/English.lproj/Desktop
That location is for a English speaking user and its Desktop folder. Again, admin rights are needed.

does this affect new ‘normal’ users you make or just the guest account ?
Quick test reveals the answer.. drum roll…. and the answer is: Yes! it does.
Pretty handy actually. Especially for the default Guest Account. Presumably you could copy Safari bookmarks and starting page to the right location and have it always come up with those.
