Making New Windows User Accounts
 

oKay I have a problem I am trying to make a new windows user account so i can keep everything seperate, but for some reason when I click on add new user it has the parental contorl symble next to it and it won't let me click on it to make a new user. I've tried everything I click on parental contorls and nothing comes up it's like it's blank. All I can do to my account is change the picture everything else seems to be on lock down anyone know how to fix this I feel like I have tried everything. I figured I would ask in here so I didn't have to call Dell or Windows who would I call for the anwser to this if no one knows?

I am not 100% sure since I don't have a lot of info to work with. But it sounds like you need to login as the administrator.

This might help: How to login as Administrator in Windows XP?

You have to be the administrator to add accts with windows.

Or try hitting start then control panel then user accts. All will be in there

Thanks for the help I tried all of that nothing worked, but I did some how get it to work finally in safe mode I have now made new users and I can keep my accounts seperate I am so glad I fixed that. Thank you for those that responed to my question.

HI:
Yes, that was my suggestion-- The accts with Admin can do that-- also what IVE done
Just to not get mixed up--

Make a HUGE backsplash of your USername for your desktop--example--- if your ebay name is Carmax123--my Desktop has CARMAX123 all over it in color--so i cant get confused and LINK...
Good Luck :)
p.s. the Original contributor of using the multiple windows xp accts was Aspkin last year--it really helped me alot!

Its the only way to go....I use 6x5 cards. The one I have in front of me is the account I am working on. Then log in then I just check the google account just to make sure I did select the correct account then check ip address. I do like the back splash idea. One less thing.
