How to create A user account.


In this post I’m going to be talking about how to set different user accounts on your computer.  It is important to have one administrator account and at least one other regular user account.  The reason for this is because say for instance the computer that you are using is shared by you and your family and you want to keep your personal documents safe, making a separate user account for them will ensure that your documents wouldn’t be tampered with by mistake.  First and foremost if there’s any open windows please minimize or close them.  Next click the start button and go to control panel.  Next click on user accounts and family safety.  Next click on add or remove user accounts, then click on manage accounts.  In the middle of the window you will see create a new account.  You will then have the choice to make a standard user account.  Create it with a name of your choice and add a picture if you’d like to.  Once you have done this click save and your new account will be up and ready to go.  You can then add whatever programs that you commonly use, and customized the desktop and settings to your specific needs.
