Chapter 22. Setting Up Windows XP for Multiple Users

IN THIS CHAPTER

• Setting Up a New User Account

• Logging In and Out

• Modifying a User Account

If more than one person uses your PC, you might want to personalize certain Windows settings for each person. For example, you can customize the desktop, Start menu, Favorites folder, My Documents folder, and more. Each person can create a user account and then set up Windows the way he or she wants. Each time that person logs on, all of those settings are used. Accounts also provide some small measure of security because you can assign a password to each account. To log on (and access the computer), the user must type a password.

This chapter covers the basics of setting up accounts, logging on and off, and modifying accounts.
