Create a New Administrative User In Windows XP
Creating a new user account can be a great step in fixing software issues. It will let you know pretty quick if it’s your settings or the software that’s to blame. A new user account won’t carry over the same temp files, permissions, corruptions, weird settings that exist in most user accounts.
1. Start>Control Panel>User Accounts
2. Create a new account
3. Name your account, you can use any name not already used by a different account.
4. Give your new account administrative access by selecting “Computer Administrator” for your account type.
5. Click “Create Account” and you’re done.
To log into this account simply log out of your current account by selecting start>Log Off
