SUMMARY
When you run Creative Writer or Fine Artist for Windows, and then enter a user name, that information is saved in the Mskids.ini file. In addition, folders are created for the users to store their work.

To remove a person from the list of users, you must delete the folder and the reference to the folder in the Mskids.ini file.

NOTE: Creative Writer and Fine Artist for the Macintosh do not use an Mskids.ini file.

 * 2) Locate the MSKids folder on the hard disk, and open it.
 * 3) Open the Users folder that you want to remove from the list.
 * 4) Click the folder, and then press DELETE.

After you delete the folder, use the following steps to remove the user name from the Mskids.ini file:
 * 1) Open the folder in which Windows is installed.
 * 2) Locate the Mskids.ini file.
 * 3) Double-click the Mskids.ini file to open it for editing.
 * 4) Delete the line containing the user name in the [MSKIDS USERS] section.
 * 5) Save the changes to the Mskids.ini file, and then close the file.
