Are You Using Windows User Accounts Effectively?

 


How many times have you sat in your car to find that you can barely get in because your spouse changed the seat's position?


This is the same feeling most get after someone has used their computer; the wallpaper is different, your computer whiz nephew changes the default browser to Firefox, your desktop is in disarray and all while you just wanted to use your PC.


Unless you drive a luxury vehicle you will probably have to deal with changing the seat back to your favorite position, however with Windows 7 you always have things your way.


Windows 7 allows the Administrator account (most likely your user account) to create additional accounts with their own set of Documents, Music, Movie and Favorite Folders. Users can even customize their backgrounds and screen resolutions based on their preferences without impacting other user accounts.


The key to this is creating user accounts for each individual who will have access to the computer or if you prefer, you can use a Guest account if you intend to allow a total stranger to use your computer.


Both these step-by-step guides will show you how to make the best of user accounts in Windows 7.


In the next set of guides I will show you how to use Parental Controls that ship with Windows 7 to control what your Kids can do on the PC.?Are you looking for a Windows 7 guide we haven't published yet? Use the comments section below or contact me for help.
