   IMPORTANT: The standard account can help protect your computer by preventing users from making changes that affect everyone who uses the computer. When logged on with a standard account, you can do anything that you can do with an administrator account, but if you want to do something that affects other users of the computer, such as installing software or changing security settings, you might be ask to provide a password for an administrator account.

   NOTES:

   • It is recommend that the standard account be chosen.
   • It is also recommend that an account password be created for each account.
   • File sharing with a computer using the Windows 7 operating system will require the remote user to log in using a password and will not be allowed from a user account that does not have a password.
