Do you have more than one person using your home computer? If you do, you can create user accounts for everyone in your home so you can set up Windows XP with unique favorites, colors, wallpaper, and private files. You can even create a guest account for visitors to use.

• Log on to your computer as an administrator. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
• Under Pick a category, click User Accounts.
• Under Pick a task, click Create a new account.
• In the User Accounts wizard, on the Name the new account page, type the name for the user. You can use the person's full name, first name, or a nickname. Then click Next.
• The User Accounts wizard displays the Pick an account type page. Click Limited, and then click Create Account.
