To create a new user account,
follow the below steps :
-
Click the
Start button
,
then click Control Panel
-
Under the
User Accounts and Family Safety
category, click on Add or remove
user accounts
-
The Manage
Accounts window will open,
where all the created accounts are
displayed, click on Create
a new account
-
The Create
New Account window will open,
here you will need to type a name for the
new user account and select a type for it,
either standard or as an administrator.
There are three types of accounts. Each
type gives users a different level of
control over the computer:
-
Standard
accounts are for
everyday computing.
-
Administrator accounts
provide the most control
over a computer, and
should only be used when
necessary.
-
Guest
accounts are intended
primarily for people who
need temporary use of a
computer.
When you are logged on to
Windows
with a standard account, you can do
almost anything that you can do with an
administrator account, but if you want
to do something that affects other users
of the computer, such as installing
software or changing security settings,
Windows
might ask you to provide a password for
an administrator account. That's why its
recommended creating a standard account
for each user. This will
protect your computer by preventing users
from making changes that affect everyone
who uses the computer, such as deleting
files that are required for the computer
to work.
After typing the new user account name
and selecting his account type, click on
the Create Account
button
The Manage Accounts
window will be opened again, and as you
can see now the new user account is
listed along with the other user
accounts.
Now you can logoff from the current
logged in user and log in using the new
user account created.
