How To Create Or Delete User Account In Windows 7?

If you‘re a member of the Administrator group, you can grant other people access to the computer by creating new user accounts and specifying what type of access the new users will be allowed. You can also delete user accounts that are no longer being used.

Understanding user accounts

There are three types of user accounts, each giving the user a different level of control over the computer:

Administrator:An Administrator account allows the most control over the computer, enabling you to change security settings, install and remove software and hardware, access all files on the computer, or create and make changes to other user accounts.

Standard:Users with Standard accounts can do almost anything an Administrator account can do—but they may be prompted to provide the Administrator password before installing hardware or software or changing security and other settings.

Guest: The Guest account is for people who need temporary access to the computer. People using the Guest account can’t install software or hardware, change settings, or create a password, and they cannot gain access to your personal files.
