You can create user accounts separate for each person that will be using your computer. This will allow each Windows user to have their own settings, documents folder, visual style, wallpaper and so on. So separate account for every computer user is much better idea and you can do this simple from command line. To create a new user in windows or to delete a user just follow the steps below.
This guide is tested in Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7.

Step-2

In Windows computer we can add users to a group from command line. We can use net localgroup command for this.
net localgroup group_name UserLoginName /add
For example to add a user to administrators group, we can run the below command. In the below example I have taken username as John.
net localgroup administrators John /add
Few more examples:
To add a domain user to local users group:
net localgroup users domainname\username /add
This command should be run when the computer is connected to the network. Otherwise you will get the below error.
