Maintaining multiple accounts is a breeze with Windows XP, as each person can share an account on the same computer.

Each person can protect their accounts by creating personalized password-protected accounts with their own private files. Multiple accounts can be active at the same time with their own applications running idependently from each other—switching between accounts is also easy.

For instance, if someone wants to check their e-mail or the internet for new information while you're working, they simply switch over to their account, while your account is left untouched without the need to close your programs and log off. The other user won't see your work while they're on the computer; and vice versa. No worries!
