Adding User Accounts In Windows Vista

Windows Vista is the operating system with which Microsoft introduced radical changes in the operating system’s user interface. If you have only one user account in the home or office PC and more than one person is using the PC, then it is pretty easy for a misdemeanor to access your personal data. In order to avoid this situation, the best method is to create new user account in the computer. Follow the instructions given below from Windows support site for creating a new user account in your computer.

Instructions

  • Move the mouse pointer to the bottom left corner of your taskbar found at the bottom of the screen and then click on the Start menu button located there. 
  • When the Start menu appears, click on the option named Control Panel found at the right hand side pane. 
  • When the Control Panel windows opens, look for the option named User Accounts And Family Safety and click on it. 
  • Now a new window will open up, in which you can see an option named Add Or Remove User Accounts, click on it and then on the Continue button. 
  • In the window that appears, click on the Create a New Account link and then type a name for the user in the box found at the top of the window. 
  • From the next option, select whether you would like to create a Standard account or Administrative account. If you would like to get full control over the system, then selecting the Administrator account will be good. However, if you would like to create only a standard account with less provisions, select the Standard option. If you select the Standard option, you will not be able to make changes to the system’s security. 
  • After selecting the type of account, click on the button named Create Account in the bottom of the window. 
  • Click on the account you just now created and click on the Create A Password option for creating a password for the account. Choose a password for the user and then click on the Create Password option button found at the bottom of the window for saving the password created.

If you follow the simple instructions given above, you will be able to create a new user account in the computer with ease. If you are not familiar with the process of account creation, visit the Windows support site for getting step by step instructions along with video tutorials.
