Adding and modifying user accounts
You can create and customize a user account for each person who uses your
computer. You can also change between user accounts without turning off your
computer.
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
. Remember that limited accounts may not be able to install some
older programs.
■
If a program or peripheral device is installed in one account, it may not
be available in other accounts. If this happens, install the program or
device in the accounts that need it.
■
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.
