Windows User Accounts

I had a client recently who had only one logon on the PC.  That logon became corrupt and the user could not log on at all.  All of the client's files were lost.  Luckily I was able to access the computer and add two more logon accounts.  What this did was give two more avenues into the computer so it is not a total loss and does not require a full re-install of the Windows operating system.

So I am sure there are many folks who would question configuring a computer with more than one logon account.  Think of what COULD happen if you don't have at least two accounts, at least one with administrator rights.  These accounts should be password protected with a "strong" password.

Something to think about.
