= Use individual user accounts =
You should create individual user accounts for each person who regularly uses your computer. This allows each user to have his or her own customization such as the wallpaper and visual style, and his or her own document folders such as the [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data|Firefox profile]] that stores your form history, Internet usernames and passwords, bookmarks, and other personal settings. Each person accesses his or her user account with a username and password.
To create a user account:

= Lock your computer when you are away from it =
When you leave your computer, you should lock the screen to prevent other people from using your desktop and accessing your files. You will still be logged in and all your applications will keep running, but you will have to enter your password to use your computer again.
