Avoid risking incalculable damage and security breaches within your workgroup

摘要

Supporting a "community" PC in a non-domain environment is challenging because, by default, everyone logs in as the same user, risking potentially hazardous changes to the operating system (OS) or other people's data and settings. But with Windows XP's User Accounts feature, you can limit access to sensitive data and OS files and eliminate user-preference squabbles as well. To provide users with autonomous accounts and beef up security in the process, we'll: 1. Examine the three types of Windows XP workgroup user accounts to help you choose the best types for your users. 2. Create an account with limited access to system files. 3. Enhance security by adding passwords and configuring the general logon options.
