How to create a New User Account in Windows 7

Windows 7, allows you to create multiple user accounts, so that each user can have a separate user account with unique settings and preferences, such as a desktop background or screen saver. User accounts control which files and programs users can access and what types of changes users can make to the computer.


To create a new user account, follow the below steps :


Click the Start button  , then click Control Panel


Click on Add or remove user accounts

Manage Account will be Open then Click on Create a new account


The Create New Account window will open, here you will need to type a name for the new user account and select a type for it, either standard or as an administrator.

There are three types of accounts. Each type gives users a different level of control over the computer:

  • Standard accounts are for everyday computing.
  • Administrator accounts provide the most control over a computer, and should only be used when necessary.
  • Guest accounts are intended primarily for people who need temporary use of a computer.


When you are logged on to Windows with a standard account, you can do almost 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, Windows might ask you to provide a password for an administrator account. That's why its recommended creating a standard account for each user. This will protect your computer by preventing users from making changes that affect everyone who uses the computer, such as deleting files that are required for the computer to work.


After typing the new user account name and selecting his account type, click on the Create Account button


Now your new user has been created. hope you enjoyed it.

How to Create and Install Window 7 Using USB Flash Drive

This is very useful, if you do not have any available DVD to install  Windows 7 , and specifically, that Windows 7 is much more usefull, and over the next few months there will be additional builds for Windows 7, so instead of wasting a lot of DVDs to try out these builds, I will be showing you how to prepare a flash memory ( external USB stick/Hard disk ) to install  Windows 7 . And after install window 7 you also can update it to window 8 preview too.

Step 1: Build Window 7 Boot by flash

Requirement :
  1. USB Flash at Least 4GB or Up
  2. USB Yumi Pen drive Installer  Or Download Here
  3. Window 7 ISO File Or Download at the follow link :

  1. Insert USB Flash into your PC
  2. Open  USB Yumi Pen drive Installer 



Double Click on Universal-USB-Installer

Select Window 7 Installer

Select Brows


Brows To Your ISO File


Check Your USB  Drive Partition ( G, E, F ..)


Choose your USB drive which It was locate to and Check format => Create


Wait until format is complete


Wait Until the progress is finish


Now your USB Pen Drive is ready => Close
  • Plug the USB stick to the machine you want to install Windows 7 to, and reboot/or start it up. 
  • Change your BIOS Boot From USB Drive ( Mostly Press F2 or F12 or up to your PC) 
  1. It will be Boot Automatic => Once booted, an animated logo for Windows 7 will be displayed and below it will show you that Windows is starting

  2. Once it loads, choose your preferred language settings and then click Next

  3. Click on Install now to start installing Windows 7 .


  4. On the License Terms page, if you are from those people who don't just click Next on such pages ( who does not  ), under installation, you will notice that you may install and use as many copies of the software as you want, and that the software will stop running on the 1st of August 2009 ( Reminder : This is Public Beta 1 of Windows 7 ) . Accept the license terms by selecting the checkbox beside I accept the license terms, and click Next.

  5.  On the installation type page, click on Custom (advanced) to start a new installation


I was running the setup on a blank hard disk that had no OS loaded on it before. so I was wondering why the Upgrade option was active and not grayed as it used to be when I used to install Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 on blank Disks !! I tried it and received the below message !! OK, I believe this should be fixed, as with Vista installation, the installer would gray this option out !!


  1. Choose the partition or disk that you want to install Windows 7 on, and then click Next

  2. Installation will start

  3. The machine will reboot later and will start updating registry settings 




    and then setup will be starting services



    We will be back to the installation page, completing installation 




    computer will be rebooted to continue installation




  •  setup will prepare computer for first use

  • Setup will continue, and this time you will have to choose a username and a computer name



    when you enter the username, the machine name will be automatically chosen as username-PC , if you do not wish to have this name for your machine, then simply change it and then click Next
  • Then you will have to enter a password for your username, In this page, I didn't like one thing, which is forcing me to provide a password hint if I have chosen to insert a password, as I usually do not like to provide password hints, I decided to leave the password empty ! and clicked Next



  • On the Product Key page, you can either enter the product key or simply leave it empty and click on Next.
  • On the recommended settings page , choose your settings and click Next

  • Select your Time Zone and set your Time and Date settings, then click Next

  • Setup will start to finalize and prepare desktop





    And finally, Windows 7 desktop will be displayed.


  • Summary

    Instead of wasting a lot of DVDs, specially if the product is still in Beta and will have lots of releases in the next few months, why not start using a flash memory to hold Windows 7 installation files, so that when a new Windows 7 or 2008 R2 build is released, simply delete the contents, rerun the xcopy command and you are ready to go again.Hope this post is useful for you.
