How to Add Users

Only a computer administrator or a user with administrator rights can
create multiple user accounts. The individual who performs the initial
operating system setup creates a computer administrator account and can
add any number of users during the initial setup. All user accounts created
during setup have administrator rights.

After initial operating system setup, the computer administrator or a user
with administrator rights can create additional user accounts.

To add users, perform the following steps:

1

Click the Start button, and click Control Panel.

2

In the Control Panel window, click User Accounts.

3

In the User Accounts window under Pick a Task, click Create a new

account.

4

In the box under Name the new account, type the name of the new

user. Click Next>.

5

Under Pick an account type, click the bullet next to the type of

account you are going to create — Computer administrator, Standard,

or Limited.

• A computer administrator can change all computer settings.

• A standard account user (Windows XP Professional only) can

install some programs and hardware.
