在我们关于如何编辑用户帐户的文章的基础上，我将尝试通过有关创建和删除用户帐户以及如何在Windows 7(Windows 7)中打开或关闭访客帐户的教程来完成这个主题。我还将解释可用帐户类型之间的区别，并帮助您了解所有可用选项的使用场景和限制。
什么是用户帐户(User Account)以及何时需要多个帐户？
用户(User)帐户允许多个用户共享同一台计算机，每个用户都有自己的私人文档(Documents)文件夹、电子邮件收件箱、设置等。它还提高了安全性并减少了文件共享和网络问题(file-sharing and network problems)。拥有自己的帐户意味着您可以对Windows 7进行所有自定义，而不会影响其他用户帐户。其他用户将拥有自己的视觉定制、自己的应用程序设置等。
当有其他人需要与您在同一台 PC 上工作时，应创建一个新帐户。有两种类型的帐户：管理员和标准(administrator and standard)（受限用户）。管理员对计算机上的所有用户帐户具有完全访问权限。他或她可以创建和删除用户帐户，为其他用户创建帐户(create account)密码，更改其他帐户的名称、密码、图片和帐户类型(picture and account types)。通常，计算机上必须至少有一个管理员用户帐户(administrator user account)。
具有标准帐户权限的用户可以访问已安装在该计算机上的程序，并且在没有管理员密码(administrator password)的情况下无法安装其他软件。他可以更改他的帐户图片并创建(account picture and create)、更改或删除他的密码，但他不能更改他的帐户名称或类型(account name or type)。此外，某些程序（主要是较旧的程序）可能无法在此类帐户上正常运行，并且可能需要将帐户类型(account type)临时或永久更改为管理员。
在哪里可以找到用户帐户控制面板(User Account Control Panel)
有多种方法可以找到用户帐户(User Account) 控制面板(control panel)。第一种方法是从开始菜单打开(Start Menu)控制面板(Control Panel)。
在控制面板(Control Panel)中，选择“用户帐户和家庭安全”('User Accounts and Family Safety')。
从“用户帐户和家庭安全”('User Accounts and Family Safety')面板中，选择用户帐户(User Accounts)。
查找“用户帐户(User Accounts)”控制面板的另一种方法是在“开始”菜单(Start Menu)搜索框中搜索“用户帐户” 。('user account')
如何创建新帐户
在“用户帐户和家庭安全”('User Accounts and Family Safety')控制面板中，选择“添加或删除用户帐户”('Add or remove user accounts')。
管理帐户(Manage accounts)窗口是您可以对用户帐户执行的所有操作的起点：创建、编辑和删除帐户。要创建一个新帐户，请选择“创建一个新帐户”('Create a new account')。
在“创建新帐户”('Create New Account')窗口中，您必须输入新帐户的名称，然后选择帐户类型(account type)：标准(Standard)或管理员(Administrator)。然后，单击“创建帐户”('Create Account')。
将在'C:\Users'文件夹中创建一个具有新帐户名称(account name)的新文件夹，其中保存了新用户的所有个人文件。除了管理员和新用户之外，没有其他用户可以访问此文件夹。默认情况下，新帐户没有设置密码。我们建议您在使用新用户登录后编辑您的帐户并创建密码。有关更改用户帐户的更多信息，我们推荐我们关于如何(How)编辑用户帐户(Edit User Accounts)的教程。
如果要访问新帐户，请使用注销(Log off)或( or )切换用户(Switch user)选项。
如何在用户帐户之间切换
要在用户帐户之间切换，请打开“开始”菜单(Start Menu)，转到“关机”(Shut Down)并单击它旁边的箭头。
如果您想从当前登录的用户切换到新用户，而不注销并关闭正在运行的程序和文件，请单击切换用户(Switch User)。
如果您想从当前用户注销并关闭其所有正在运行的程序和文件，在使用新用户登录之前，请单击注销(Log off)。
接下来，在登录屏幕(logon screen)中，单击新帐户进行登录。
如何删除帐户
从“管理帐户”(Manage Accounts) 控制面板(control panel)中，单击要删除的帐户。
然后，选择“删除帐户”('Delete the account')并选择是要保留还是删除用户的文件。
注意：(NOTE:)如果您决定保留用户的文件，它们将保存在桌面上带有已删除帐户名称的文件夹中。
如果您选择删除文件，系统将首先提示您确认删除。
如果您要删除的帐户仍处于登录状态，您可能会丢失该帐户的数据。
因此，此操作最好从管理员帐户(administrator account)完成，不要让要删除的用户并行登录（通过使用上面提到的切换选项(switch option)）。
如何打开Guest Account On/Off
来宾帐户(Guest account)是一种特殊类型的用户帐户(user account)，权限非常有限。如果您想了解有关它以及如何使用它的更多信息，请阅读此完整的分步指南：简单问题：什么是访客帐户以及如何(Guest Account & How)打开它？。
结论
如您所见，可以从任何具有管理权限的帐户轻松创建和删除用户帐户。此外，打开或关闭访客帐户(Guest account)同样简单。如果您对此主题有任何问题或疑问，请随时在评论中分享，我们将尽最大努力提供帮助。
How to Create or Delete User Accounts in Windows 7
Building on our article about how to edіt user accounts, I will try to complete this subject with a tutorial about creating and deleting user асcounts and how to turn on or off the guest account in Windows 7. I'll also explain what is the difference between the avaіlable account types and help уou understand the usage scenarios and limitations for all available options.
What Is an User Account & When You Need More than One?
User accounts allow multiple users to share the same computer, each having their own, private Documents folder, e-mail inbox, settings, etc. It also improves security and reduces file-sharing and network problems. Having your own account means that you can do all the customization you want to your Windows 7, without affecting other user accounts. Other users will have their own visual customization, their own application settings, etc.
A new account should be created when there is another person who needs to work on the same PC as you. There are two types of accounts: administrator and standard (limited user). The administrator has full access to all user accounts from a computer. He or she can create and delete user accounts, create account passwords for other users, change other account's name, password, picture and account types. As a rule, there must be at least one administrator user account on a computer.
A user with standard account rights has access to programs that have already been installed on that computer and cannot install other software without the administrator password. He can change his account picture and create, change or delete his password but he cannot change his account name or type. Also, some programs (mostly older ones) might not work properly on this type of account and may require a temporary or permanent change of the account type to administrator.
Where to Find the User Account Control Panel
There are different ways of finding the User Account control panel. The first method is to open Control Panel from the Start Menu.
In Control Panel, choose 'User Accounts and Family Safety'.
From the 'User Accounts and Family Safety' panel, choose User Accounts.
The other way of finding the User Accounts control panel is to search for 'user account' in the Start Menu search box.
How to Create a New Account
In the 'User Accounts and Family Safety' control panel, select 'Add or remove user accounts'.
The Manage accounts window is the starting point for all the operations that you can do with user accounts: create, edit and delete an account. To make a new account, choose 'Create a new account'.
In the 'Create New Account' window you have to write the name of the new account and then select the account type: Standard or Administrator. Then, click on 'Create Account'.
A new folder with the new account name will be created in the 'C:\Users' folder, where all the personal files of the new user are kept. To this folder no other user than the administrator and the new user have access. By default, the new account doesn't have a password set. We recommend that after you log in with the new user to edit your account and create a password. For more information on changing a user account, we recommend our tutorial on How to Edit User Accounts.
If you want to access the new account, use the Log off or Switch user options.
How to Switch Between User Accounts
To switch between user accounts, open the Start Menu, go to Shut Down and click on the arrow next to it.
If you want to switch from the currently logged user to the new one, without logging off and closing your running programs and files, click on Switch User.
If you want to log out from the current user and close all its running programs and files, before logging with the new user, click on Log off.
Next, in the logon screen, click the new account to log in.
How to Delete an Account
From the Manage Accounts control panel, click on the account that you want to delete.
Then, select 'Delete the account' and choose if you want to keep or to delete the user's file.
NOTE: If you decide to keep the user's files, they will be saved in a folder with the deleted account's name, on the desktop.
If you choose to delete the files, you will be prompted first for a confirmation of deletion.
If the account you wish to delete is still logged on, you might lose the data from that account.
Therefore, this operation it is best done from an administrator account, without having the user you want to delete logged on in parallel (by using the switch option mentioned above).
How to Turn the Guest Account On/Off
The Guest account is a special type of user account, with very limited permissions. If you would like to learn more about it and how to use it, read this complete step-by-step guide: Simple Questions: What is the Guest Account & How to Turn it On?.
Conclusion
As you can see, creating & deleting user accounts can be done very easily from any account with administrative permissions. Also, turning on or off the Guest account is just as easy.
