Create User Accounts

In the Who will use this computer? window, you can create a

user account for each person who might use the notebook.

User accounts enable each notebook user to create a personal

notebook environment. A user's environment might include such

customizations as display and security settings, personal files,

screen savers, and the appearance of the Windows desktop.

When you turn on the notebook, a prompt to select a user account

is displayed. When a user account is selected, Windows opens

according to the preferences set by that user.

The names you enter in the Who will use this computer?

window text fields are displayed on the list of user accounts

displayed at Windows startup.

When the Thank you! window is displayed, read the text, and

then select Finish. Your notebook saves your preferences,

and then restarts in Windows.

Select your user account, and you are ready to begin using your

notebook. To protect your notebook and gain Internet access to

software updates and online assistance, it is recommended that

you begin your notebook use by following the suggestions in the

next chapter.
