Adding and Deleting User Accounts

Adding and Deleting User Accounts

If you have a computer administrator account or are a member of the Administrators group , you can create a new user account or delete an existing one. When you add a new user to your computer, Windows creates a separate identity, allowing the user to keep files completely private and customize the operating system with personal preferences. The name you assign to the user appears on the Log On screen and the Start menu. The steps to add and delete user accounts differ , depending on whether your computer is part of a domain network or shared/workgroup computer.
