Setting Up Local Accounts
Sooner or later more than one person will want to work on
your PC. All sorts of problems pop up when several people share a PC. You
configure your desktop to just the right layout, with all your icons right
where you can find them, and then your son comes along and accidentally
deletes a document.
Setting up different accounts lets Windows keep track of each person's
settings. Windows keeps track of each person's preferences and loads them once
that person logs on.
