Microsoft Windows has different types of user accounts that control access and permissions on a computer. There are three main types of accounts: computer administrator accounts have full control over the system and all users; limited accounts have restricted access; and guest accounts are for temporary users without access to other accounts. The user accounts window in the control panel allows a user to view and modify settings for their account, such as changing the account name, password, picture, or type of account.
