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.
