How to create user accounts in Windows 7 and Windows Vista

Windows 7 and Windows Vista allows you to create individual accounts for each user. This allows each individual user to have their own profile on the computer to store personal documents, pictures, videos, saved games, and other personal data. Multiple accounts allows the owner of the computer to assign certain priveledges to perform administrative tasks such as installing software, while limiting other user's from making changes to the computer.

This turtorial will provide instructions on how to create user accounts in Windows 7 and Windows Vista.

1. Click Start.
2. Type "Add or Remove user accounts".
3. Click "Add or remove user accounts".
   
4. Click "Create a New Account".
   
5. Type the name of the user.
6. Select Standard or Administrator.
   • The standard account can help 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. We recommend creating a standard account for each user. 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.
   • The administrator accounts have complete access to the computer and can make any desired changes.
7. Click Create Account.
   
8. Congratulations your all done! You will now see the new user account created as shown below.
