Setup
new users:
With Windows XP, sharing a computer doesn't have to mean that others can see your personal files or change your user settings. The user accounts feature in Windows can store personalized data and settings for several different users.
Each user account is protected by a username and a password. When a user logs on to Windows it will consider the users settings and preferences as if they were the only ones.
User accounts allow:
- A customized desktop for each user.
- A personal list of favorites in your web browser.
- A personal history list in your web browser.
- Protection for your private files.
In addition, Windows user accounts can be useful in network and program access.
It's easy to set up new users in Windows XP. Their are three different account types in Windows XP(four for Windows XP Professional), each giving different levels of access to files and what you can do with them. The most important of these account types is the administrator account.
To add a new user to Windows you will first need to log into the administrator account. After you have logged in, follow these five simple steps...
- Click the start menu then click on control panel.
- Click on user accounts.
- Under pick a task, click on the option that says Create a new account.
- On the name the new account page, type a name for the account and then click next.
- On the pick an account page, click the type of account you wish to create and then click next.
The account types behave as follows:
- Administrator account-Can add, delete or change all user settings.
- Limited account-Can only change the picture or password for their account.
- Guest account-Not protected by password. Guest access makes it easy for people to quickly log on to check email or perform simple tasks.
That's really all their is to it. Now you can customize the settings and desktop for the new user seperately from everyone elses settings!
