Administrator and Standard User accounts in Windows 7

When you install Windows 7 you are asked to create an account (it does not tell which type) with a user name and a password. This account is by default an Administrator account and is part of one of the 15 default account groups. There is, on the other hand, an "Administrator" account (that is, user name "Administrator"), which is disabled, like the Guest account, and you can enable it so it will show on the opening screen with your other accounts. In Vista, in order to see the "Administrator" account at the beginning of a session, you have to run a special script. In XP, when you have other accounts, you can access the Administrator account by pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL twice. It is advisable that you create a "Standard User" account, with which you can change system settings that do not affect other users or don't compromise the security of the system. Surf the Web as a Standard User.
