    re: Exit iPhoto/iTunes when Fast User Switching

    This is a great tip, but I am unable to make it work. I've followed the instructions exactly, including the bit about making my user the only one with write permission, but it seems that WinSwitch is not executing the script when I switch users. If I double-click the alias in the Switch-Out Items folder it works as expected (shutting down both iPhoto and iTunes if they are running) but when I use WinSwitch to switch to another user and then back, iPhoto is still running. Any suggestions as to what I may have overlooked? Is there a WinSwitch log I can check to find out if the WinSwitch program is being denied access to the "Quit iPhoto and iTunes" application?

    Thanks for any suggestions, and Happy Holidays.

    There is no separate log but errors should be sent to the general console log which you can view using /Applications/Utilities/Console.app. Is anything printed there?
