Try Copy/Paste on the From: header.

As Mac OS X evolves, what happens at startup time is getting more and more
obscure. I created a disc partition that I do not want mounted, unless I
mount it manually. While it is unclear the mechanism Mountain Lion (10.8.4)
is using to mount volumes at boot time, I discovered that an older method
still works.
I created a text file in TERMINAL with the name /etc/fstab (as
administrator).
In the file, I placed one line of information:
UUID=3C54B3D9-B9BA-3784-AB4F-607731C1A7DB none hfs rw,noauto
That did the trick, it prevented OS X from mounting the partition at
startup time.
(The UUID value is the unique partition identifier. This can be determined
in Disk Utility by selecting a partition and requesting "Info" for the
partition.) Use one line per volume in the /etc/fstab file.(The values for
the different fields are documented in the man page for fstab.)
If anyone knows another method (to prevent mount, rather than unmount)
please share.
Thanks,
Jon

Thank you for the help
I am unable to delete accounts.This can be resolved later. For now I stripped one account and will keep it for access if I need it (good tip). One is now grayed out and marked disabled. The last account is the administrator account. This will work for now.
When for any reason you move files between (2) Mac's, accounts, or users are they copies? My Mac mini is so full of duplicates.

Allen,
If you want to have just one user and a minimum of duplicate and useless files, don't migrate, do a clean install of the OS and any apps. Then move over by copy and paste any user docs, files, and settings you want.
IMHO, the current tendency to migrate all the time is a bad trend. It leaves vestiges of prior OS, apps and other detritus. For example, I have a pref in Sys Prefs for MobileMe. Apple closed MobleMe over a year ago. I have bits and pieces of apps in my Libraries for apps that won't work in 10.7.5. On another list, a member is having problems with iDisk, yet she is using 10.8.4.
My suggestion is to start over with a clean install of the OS and only install the apps you use daily. Then add your data, and any other apps as you find a need for them.
