Windows operating system including Windows 7, Windows 


Vista and Windows XP allows multiple administrator user 


accounts to be created on the computer, be it administrators 


or standard users. When there is more than one user 


accounts been defined and created on the PC, Windows will 


display Welcome Screen, with all available user accounts 


listed so that user can click and login. & it is not safe at

user accounts like Backup users & therefore i am publishing
