Switching Users In Windows Vista

Almost all the Windows operating systems are multi-user operating system models and Windows Vista is no exception. This means that there can be a number of users in a single operating system. The user accounts allow more than one person to share the same computer. The different user accounts can have different desktop themes, different default media programs and other customized options. Another advantage of having different user accounts is that the administrator can have a control over the Internet usage and the usage of other resources in the computer. This also gives the different users an option to lock their accounts for security.

The Windows support tips shared below will help you to know more on creating user accounts and on switching between user accounts. You may follow these steps to switch between the different user accounts in the Vista operating system. If you have any doubts, you may refer to the Windows Vista help modules in the Microsoft web site for further clarification.
