for the Administrator option as opposed to the Standard user option.
When you have finished selecting a name and the type of account you wish to
setup, you should click on the Create Account button.

will see it listed in the Manage Accounts screen.
Figure 4. The new user has been created
As you can see our new user, named Test Account, has been created.
Now when you start Windows 7, you will see the additional account listed in the logon screen. That user can then select their login name and login into their profile so they can access their private data.
