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.
