But I want to post this here so it can be understood what logging in/out does. When you log in, a number of LaunchAgents run and if the files they use like plists don't exist, it will be created as new. You may be asked to (re)authenticate to a service and it will save your credentials thus getting you back into a service (like mail) but under no circumstance is this considered data recovery. Your previous settings and preferences are gone and will have to be recreated. | |

How does logging out and in again recover data removed by rm -rf ~? Also, be specific, things like "copy individual folders like Application Support, Services and so on." won't help a lot if a user doesn't know what to look for.
