Set Up User Accounts

In some offices, more than one person uses the same computer. Every person who uses a computer should have a unique user account that is accessed with a private password. Each computer user can then view private files and e-mail, or personalize the desktop with favorite colors and photos. Of course, the best reason to set up individual user accounts is security. As an administrative assistant, one might have the job of setting up user accounts on a computer. This task might include establishing an account for one's self on that computer so that one can install new software or perform other administrative tasks. Follow these steps to set up user accounts and create passwords on a computer.
