New laptop & want to avoid dozens of user accounts

[blueuk]

I've just invested (treated myself) in a Dell XPS laptop, which will arrive in a few days time.

My current laptop running around 25 user accounts looks a mess.

Is using firefox portable a safe way around having lots of user accounts?

And with firefox portable, will I be able to transfer my cookies over with a firefox app?

Best off having lots of user accounts. Personally I buy cheap computers for my stealth accounts. I don't put all accounts on one pc. Just like a Squirrel usually doesn't put all their nuts in one tree.

LOL, I love this one, makes perfectly sense.
Thank you vogeltron.

OP you can have a couple of virtual machines and runn different user accounts (15 each?) in there... that would be a pretty neat solution, isn't it?

[allster101]

Sandboxie and Firefox Portable, or Virtual Machines. Depends on your needs.

Multiple user accounts, especially crazy amounts like 25 of them, is a big waste of time.

firefox portable works great for me

Personally I use separate windows user accounts but Firefox portable is perfectly safe to use so long as you set it up correctly to prevent cookies being shared across the accounts. I'm not exactly sure how this is done as I have never used it but flash and global flash settings need to be disabled.

Edit, relevant thread here: http://www.aspkin.com/forums/amazon/...a-stealth.html

Using Opera Portable or Firefox Portable is fine but you have got to make sure you disable flash cookies HERE (untick both boxes and then go to the 6th and 7th tab and delete anything that may already be stored)

You will also need to make sure that all browser windows are closed for account 1 before trying to open the browser for account 2

Log off each account completely - not just "Switch user"

If you start using portable don't try "transfering" cookies. As other stated previously you must disable Flash. It's fine to log into eBay and PayPal on a new browser. just wait a couple days before you start trying to withdraw funds or anything like that. I would suggest starting with two or three accounts using portable until you're sure that you understand how it works. I use portable browsers. I have a few of them on one user account and a few of them on a second user account just to be safe.

25 user account OMG!!! i know thats what the original stealth guide teaches.. I have my Main windows account and 1 user account where i use all of my Stealths. My stealths never get linked my paypals dont get limited.. i Dunno how you run your stealth system but 25 user accounts... sounds kinda messy ijs

[realdeals]

25 or more separate user accounts is really pretty easy to manage, not messy at all.

No idea what the fuss is about.

[Nyco]

but if your ebaying/paypaling 4-5 hrs a day signing into one account logging out of that one to switch to another user and then have to bring up all your files then having to log out again to switch to another account then bring up your files again... i dunno about you but sometimes i get irritated just having to switch from my 1 main windows account to my 1 User account where i keep all my stealths.. imagine having to switch threw all those user accounts on a daily basis.. omg i would be so irritated. what if the computer is running slow during those switches omg id have to smash it then lmao

[MM78]

Personally, I keep all my files centralized in a flash drive with a shortcut on every VMWare so I don't have to keep any real files on each account.

I have the following apps installed on each VMWare
1. Portable Firefox
2. Portable Photoshop
3. Notepad++
4. Eset Antivirus
5. Word 2007

The beauty of it all is that I only had to setup 1 VMWare and Clone it as many times as I wanted.

Well I don't have to imagine as I do this every day with dozens of user accounts.

Really isn't a problem.

Speed isn't an issue either if you're on W10.

Have they sorted the compatibility issues yet with Windows 10?

I tried installing it on my main PC a few months ago and my printer stopped working so had to revert back to Windows 7.

I heard it can still be really glitchy with certain things.

Only issues I have had have been with gaming sites.

What do you play? Poker?

I do, but there were big compatibility issues with certain sites with W10.

Start up speed is great tho.
