[DImitris1]

Hello all,i have windows xp on my pc since 2003 and i had a great experience with them so far,
i have one question. If i separate my pc in two users,will i slow down my pc?My pc is quite old so if it slows a little bit it does matter to me.Thank you.

It could slow down if these two users are logged in at the same time (inactive user will take memory, and might have some background tasks running even if it is not active at the moment).

It shouldn't slow your computer down having more than one user. Many times a different user is set up because the owner wants to set up levels of security. For instance, the owner may want to be set up as the adminitrator so any other user cannot make major changes to the computer. This keeps down a lot of problems that occur when others are logged on to your computer.

and yes alabalcho is correct, it will only slow the computer down if both or more than one user is on at the same time.
