User Management
Account Management Tools
Creating Users
- To set up and manage your local user accounts, use the Local Users
and Groups MMC snap-in or the User Accounts utility in Control Panel. With either
option, you can create, disable, delete, and rename user accounts, as
well as change user passwords.
- A Standard user account derives its privileges from being a member of the local Users group and cannot compromise the security or stability of Windows 7.
- An Administrator account derives its privileges from being a member of the local Administrators group and has complete access to the system.
- Unlike Windows Vista, most actions that are triggered by an Administrator do not result in a prompt from User Account Control. Changes triggered by software do result in a prompt from User Account Control.
