Macintosh Manager: Access to the Control Strip

This article tells how to access the Control Strip when running Macintosh Manager or the Multiple Users feature of Mac OS.

When Macintosh Manager logs out of an environment, the Control Strip is hidden for the Login Screen. Therefore, the Control Strip may not always show when logging in with the setting "Show Control Strip" enabled.

When this occurs, access the Control Strip by using its Hot Key function. When a user logs in and wants to access the Control Strip, the Control Strip can be invoked by using the hot key function. The same hot key function can be used to subsequently hide the Control Strip. Note that the Control Strip is still hidden at the Login Screen.

If an administrator wants to prevent access to the Control Strip, be sure that access to Control Panels is disabled and then set the Control Strip on each Workstation to the "Hide Control Strip" setting.
