A computer administrator account allows you to configure your computer and perform software installations, set options, and restore data. The user account allows you to work with the Internet, email, office and entertainment applications. The guest account provides most of the user's functionality, but is not password protected. All account settings can be changed.
Instructions
Step 1
Hover your mouse over the system clock in the lower right corner of your computer monitor to identify the account you are currently using.
Step 2
Right-click on the clock field to call the service menu and go to the "Date / time setting" item. If you see a warning message "Insufficient rights to change system time" means that you are logged on with a user account. Opening a window with controls is available only for the computer administrator.
Step 3
Click the "Start" button to bring up the main Windows menu and go to "Control Panel" to create a new user account with limited rights.
Step 4
Specify the link "User Accounts" and go to the "Select a job" section.
Step 5
Open the "Create an account" link and go to the "Action" menu.
Step 6
