User account tips

If you want to create an account for someone, but you do not want that user to have full
access to your computer, be sure to make that account
limited

accounts may not be able to install some older programs.

Files created in one account are not accessible from other accounts unless the files are
stored in the
Shared Documents
folder. The
Shared Documents
folder is accessible from
all accounts on that computer
and from other computers on the network.
