You can create computer administrator and user accounts on your computer.
User accounts can be either Standard (Power User) or Restricted (User). It is recommended that you only use your administrator account when you need to make changes to the operating system. Using the Administrator account all the time can leave your computer vulnerable to security exploits and malicious software. However, some older Windows software may require that the Administrator account be used to run the program.
Administrator Account
1. Click "Start."
2. Select "Control Panel."
3. Click "User Accounts."
4. Select the Administrator account.

Once you have created the Administrator Account, it is recommended that for better security you create a Standard (Power User) or Restricted (User) account for your regular computing activities. You must be logged on as an administrator in order to make changes to user accounts.
