How do I set up a different user profile to keep from changing my preferences each time my wife/husband uses the computer?

Husbands and wives that both want to use the site and seem to fight over who's preferences are set as the default. The easiest way to ease this pain is to set up another user profile under the control panel. By doing this there will be a completely separate profile for each of you that will enable separate cookie storage as well as browser favorites, form value storage (username/passwords) etc. The only action that is then required is to login as your user profile when you sit down at the computer. Of course you can continue to change the preferences each time if you wish .

  1. Select the Windows Start menu from status bar at bottom of screen.
  2. Select the Control Panel
  3. Select Users or User Accounts (double click to launch).
  4. Once User Accounts has been launched….Select Add User.
  5. Type in new user account name and click Next. (Typically from a home environment the domain setting will be left blank).
  6. Select the type of user.
  7. Select Finish.
