- Managing Multiple users on a single Windows XP machine.
- Posted by Church Admin on June 23rd, 2008
Is there a guide or white paper that someone can point me to that will
discuss the details of how to manage multiple user accounts on a single XP
PC. I need to be able to control such things as document and application
access based on the user. The PC's in question had been used for the last two
years by multiple persons with only a single login "administrator" . Now I
want to set up multiple users and associate certain previously installed
applications and folders to certain users. I have so many questions in this
area. I am hoping someone has written a white paper that will guide me
through the process and let me know just what is and is not possible.

Have you looked at "Help" in Windows? Go to Start/Help and type "User
Accounts".

Thanks All,
I guess the key was knowing what to search for. I had some familiarity with
Access control lists in a past life, but did not know that they were used in
Windows XP. I have plenty of reading material now.
