What Is A User Account

What is a user account?
A user account is a collection of information that tells Windows which user rights (tasks that a user is permitted to perform on a computer) and access permissions (rules associated with a resource shared on a network, such as a file, directory, or printer) you have on a computer. The user account records your user name, password, and a unique number that identifies your account. You use your user account when you enter your user name and password to log on to a computer.
There are three kinds of accounts:
Standard
Administrator
Guest
Each account type has different rights and restrictions. The standard account is the account to use for everyday computing. The administrator account provides the most control over a computer, and should only be used when necessary. The guest account is intended primarily for people who need temporary use of a computer.
