    To turn the guest account on or off

    A guest account provides access to the computer for any user who does not have a user account
    on the computer.

    The steps to perform this task differ depending on whether your computer is a member of a
    network domain or is part of a workgroup (or is a stand-alone computer).

    To add a new user to the computer

    When you add a user to your computer, you are allowing that individual to have access to files
    and programs on your computer.

    The steps to perform this task differ depending on whether your computer is a member of a
    network domain or is part of a workgroup (or is a stand-alone computer).

    Notes

     To open User Accounts, click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click User
    Accounts.

    To change a user's group or account type

    When your computer is part of a network domain, users are assigned to user groups and are
    granted the rights and permissions granted to the group. When your computer is part of a
    workgroup or is a stand-alone computer, users are assigned types of user accounts and are
    granted the rights and permissions associated with the user account.

    The steps to perform this task differ depending on whether your computer is a member of a
    network domain or is part of a workgroup (or is a stand-alone computer).

    The computer is on a domain

    You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group in order to


    complete this procedure. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings
    might also prevent you from completing this procedure.

    1. Open User Accounts in Control Panel.


    2. On the Users tab, under Users for this computer, click the user account name, and then
    click Properties.
    3. On the Group Membership tab, click the group you want, and then click OK.

    Notes

     You should not add a new user to the Administrators group unless the user will perform
    only administrative tasks. For more information, click Related Topics.
     If you want a user to belong to more than one group, use Local Users and Groups. To
    open Local Users and Groups, in the User Accounts dialog box, on the Advanced tab,
    click the Advanced button. Double-click Groups, and then add the user to the groups
    you want.

    The computer is not on a domain

    You must have a computer administrator account on the computer to change another user's
    account type.

    1. Open User Accounts in Control Panel.


    2. Click the user's account name.
    3. Click Change the account type.
    4. Click the type of account you want, and then click Change Account Type.

    Note

     If you are the only user on the computer with a computer administrator account, you will
    not be able to change your account type because there must be at least one person with a
    computer administrator account on the computer.

    Notes

     To open User Accounts, click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click User
    Accounts.

     To change a user's group or account type

     When your computer is part of a network domain, users are assigned to user groups and
    are granted the rights and permissions granted to the group. When your computer is part
    of a workgroup or is a stand-alone computer, users are assigned types of user accounts
    and are granted the rights and permissions associated with the user account.

     The steps to perform this task differ depending on whether your computer is a member of
    a network domain or is part of a workgroup (or is a stand-alone computer).

     To change a user's password


     Passwords add a level of security to your computer. When sharing a computer with
    others, your customized settings, computer programs, and system resources are more
    secure when you assign a password to your logon name or user account name.

     The steps to perform this task differ depending on whether your computer is a member of
    a network domain or is part of a workgroup (or is a stand-alone computer).

    To require users to press CTRL+ALT+DELETE before logging on

    You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group on a


    computer that is part of a network domain in order to complete this procedure. Network policy
    settings may also prevent you from completing this procedure.

    1. Open User Accounts in Control Panel.


    2. Click the Advanced tab.
    3. In Secure logon, select the Require users to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete check box.
