Create a New User Account in Windows XP

If you wish to share your computer with family, you should set up user accounts so that they are responsible for their own actions. That way, they won't accidentally delete your files or any of your work. Here's how you set up additional user accounts in Windows XP.
Step1 Click on "Start" and then on "Control Panel."
Step2 Scroll down to "User Accounts" and double-click on it.
Step3 Click on "Create a new account." Give it a new name.
Step4 Next, give it either Administrator or Limited rights.
Step5 And then Finish. If you click on the account, you will be given the option to set a password for the account. Do so if you wish for the user to retain their privacy.
