How do I disable Safari-only mode?
I have no desire to enable Lion's Safari-only mode. I have disabled the guest account but still see the guest login item when I reboot my system.
Is there a setting somewhere I'm missing for disabling the Safari-only mode?
Solution 1:
You can disable the Guest account at startup in System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Advanced (the button at the bottom of the screen. The checkbox says "Disable restarting to Safari when screen is locked". I believe that it leaves the iCloud settings unchanged.
This works without changing iCloud.
Solution 2:
This guest account is tied in with iCloud's Find My Mac service in System Preferences. If you disable that service, the Safari-only mode (and the subsequent Guest account on the login screen) will also be disabled.
Solution 3:
It looks like you can disable it wihtout disabling 'find my iphone' by following steps in this article. I doubt that 'find my iphone' will be much use though if the person who steals it can't login, but who knows.
