I was thinking a few days ago how it would be good if you could have multipal user acounts inside mp .

different acounts could have:
-different shares in music and videos
-different last.fm acounts
-different plugins turned on
-different skins

Some things would have to be the same for all users like scedualed tv programs

It all depends on how posible it is to code but if it was possible i think it would be really useful for people that share their htpcs with others. and if people didnt need it it could just be turned off or only one user could be made.

    I see two very big problems with this:

    1. Very hard/complicated to setup

    2. Hard to use
    - login where do you put it
    - how do you use it with just a remote or touch screen
    - auto log out / lock up ?

    A side question whos profile do you use when more then one person is using the system (common profile?)

    The goal for a good HTPC is IMHO something that is seemless and easy to use without too many button pushes, login screens, etc.
