I would say there shouldn’t be anything else. Create a local ‘demo’ account, if needed.
That also avoids getting any embarrassing message pop-ups.
Also, if your software isn’t that stable and you can get away with it, switch machines all the time. If your demo requires multiple actions foo and bar, demo foo, then switch to a machine where foo was done beforehand to demo how bar works.
Look at some of Steve Jobs’ demos and try figuring out how many machines they used to demo some of the prerelease software. Also, don’t be afraid to cheat. For example, when seeing the copy-paste demo in https://youtube.com/watch?t=1782&v=1tQ5XwvjPmA https://youtube.com/watch?t=1782&v=1tQ5XwvjPmA, I immediately thought “that copy of MacWrite is rigged to always paste that fish”
