First Step: Create User Accounts in Windows Vista

In order to accomplish the three goals listed earlier, the first step is to create user accounts for him. We created one account for his school work "brandon" and another account "play". He uses account "brandon" to research for his home work, news and emails, or those "non-play" activities. On the other hand, he uses account "play" for playing games and visiting facebook.com. We found out that he could spend too much time on facebook so a limit has to be set.

In Windows Vista, log in an administrative user account. User accounts are created in the Control Panel. To bring up Control Panel window:

1. Single click on Start , located at the lower left corner of your desktop, or you can press the Windows key, normally located at the lower left corner of your keyboard


2. Single click on Settings, shown below



3. Single click on Control Panel to bring up the Control Panel shown below
4. Single click on Add or remove user accounts. If a Windows needs your permission to continue window pops up, click Continue.
5. Single click on Create a new account

6. In our case, we created two standard user accounts: "brandon" and "play".
