Adding And Modifying User Accounts - Gateway M275 Notebook User Manual

Chapter 10: Customizing Your Gateway M275
Adding and modifying user
accounts
You can create and customize a user account for each person who uses your
convertible tablet PC. You can also switch (change) user accounts without
turning off your convertible tablet PC.
User account tips
If you want to create an account for someone, but you do not want that
user to have full access to your convertible tablet PC, be sure to make that
account limited. Remember that limited accounts may not be able to install
some older programs.
If a program or peripheral device is installed in one account, it may not
be available in other accounts. If this happens, install the program or
device in the accounts that need it.
Files created in one account are not accessible from other accounts unless
the files are stored in the Shared Documents folder. The Shared Documents
folder is accessible from all accounts on that computer and from other
computers on the network.
