2–8 Getting Started
Software Setup
Create User Accounts
In the Who will use this computer? window, you can create a
user
account for each person who might use the notebook.
User accounts enable each notebook user to create a personal
notebook environment. A user’s environment might include such
customizations as display and security settings, personal files,
screen savers, and the appearance of the Windows desktop.
When you turn on the notebook, a prompt to select a user account
is displayed. When a user account is selected, Windows opens
according to the preferences set by that user.
The names you enter in the Who will use this computer?
window text fields are displayed on the list of user accounts
displayed at Windows startup.
Press the Finish Button
When the Thank you! window is displayed, read the text, and
then select Finish. Your notebook saves your preferences,
and
then restarts in Windows.
Select your user account, and you are ready to begin using your
notebook. To protect your notebook and gain Internet access to
software updates and online assistance, it is recommended that
you begin your notebook use by following the
suggestions in the
next chapter.
