global changes to mouse & sound caused by creating a Guest account?
A few days ago I went to the control panel and enabled the built-in Guest account for the first time. I quickly logged out/logged in to switch over to the guest account, then I switched back to my main account. This apparently caused my mouse to behave differently -- I immediately felt like the sensitivity had been cranked up, although I suspect it is entirely the acceleration that is acting differently. I went to the control panel mouse settings and checked the sensitivity level and enhanced precision setting. These were still identical to the mouse settings I had always used.
About a day later I also noticed that my sound was different. When I went to continue editing a video that I had been working on for weeks (and thus was intimately familiar with), I immediately thought that the bass in the music track was louder. I also noticed the same phenomena with a website I frequently visit to generate white noise. To the best of my knowledge I couldn't find a place in the control panel or in my sound card software that lets you adjust the system-wide equalizer or anything like that.
Is there an explanation behind this, or am I just crazy to think enabling the guest account caused global changes?
