Add a User Account In Windows Vista

# Since several aspects of the Vista GUI have changed I thought I would throw together a quick 'how to' for adding a user account in Windows Vista.

Open Control Panel and select Add or remove user accounts.

1

This will bring up a list of current user accounts on your system. At the bottom of this screen click on 'Create a new account'

2.5

In the Create New Account screen type in the name of user. More often than not your going to want to make them a Standard user. When you're finished click the Create Account button.

2

That's all there is to it! You now have your new User Account set up.

3

You can then click on the new account for additional administration tasks.
