Changing XBMCBuntu Default login account - peeves - 2012-09-28

How can i change the default login account for XBMCBuntu. I don't want to use the initial default account with full permission in file manager, some folder must be denied access for this account. please help me !

You can switch over to the XBMCbuntu desktop, launch a terminal session (Start menu > System Tools) and use the adduser command to define a new user and password. You can then log-out of your current session and log-in with your newly created username/password to confirm it works.

See here for some examples: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/add-a-user-on-ubuntu-server/

oh no ! if you use this way, your system will not log-in to XBMC session with you newly created account by default when you reboot system.
is there another way?
