A user is someone who uses a computer. A user account defines what a user can do using Windows XP. In Windows XP, there are three types of user accounts.
To easily manage user accounts, click the User Accounts icon in the Control Panel.
The User Accounts window presents you with an easy-to-use interface.
You can create new user accounts as needed, giving others access to your computer (without sharing your password).
Any account can be easily edited or changed from the User Accounts window.
Passwords provide security and prevent unauthorized users from logging in by using someone else's user account. For more information on passwords, see our Password Tips lesson.
You can also select the way users log on and log off.
