Create a user account if My computer is on a domain

Create a user account

With user accounts, several people can easily share a single computer. Each person can have a separate user account with unique settings and preferences, such as a desktop background or screen saver. User accounts control which files and programs users can access and what types of changes users can make to the computer. Typically, you'll want to create standard accounts for most computer users.



Because your computer is on a domain, you can create local user accounts, which give people access to your computer but don't give them access to the domain. Only system administrators can create domain user accounts.
