user accounts

[Guest]

i wish to know how to stop accounts being created other than my own i notice
one can make accounts through the guest account can anyone tell me how to
delete this option or stop other accounts being created altogether as i only
need an administrator account on this computer

"...i notice one can make accounts through the guest account..."

Sorry, that's not right. Only administrators can make new accounts. A computer should have only one administrator account (yours). As long as the administrator is password protected and you don't give out the password, only you can create new users.

Something else: I read that administrator accounts are really only for high level maintenance (backup, defrag, etc.) and that you should do your everyday computing through a regular (limited) user account.
