Macintosh Manager/Multiple Users: Using the Notepad and Scrapbook

For each user to have an individual Notepad or Scrapbook

1. Make a copy of the Notepad File or Scrapbook File (located in the System Folder).

2. Place the copy where the user can access it, such as the user's Documents folder.

Note: This solution may increase network traffic for Mac OS 9 clients because they access the Notepad or Scrapbook from the server.

For all users to share a single global Notepad or Scrapbook

Method 1

1. Place a copy of the Notepad File or Scrapbook File where all users have access, such as the Shared Documents folder. This may also increase network traffic for Mac OS 9 clients.

Method 2

1. Place the Notepad file or Scrapbook file in the Special Folder.

2. Make sure that the users are allowed Read/Write access to this Special Folder from the Workgroups: Privileges window in Macintosh Manager Admin.

Note: With this configuration there is no increased network traffic, but there will be a folder on a local workstation that users have read/write access to, and may bypass a disk quota if they save files into this Special Folder.
