You absolutely do not want to have only one user account. Like XP and
all other modern operating systems, Vista is a multi-user operating
system with built-in system accounts such as Administrator, Default, All
Users, and Guest. These accounts should be left alone as they are part
of the operating system structure.
You particularly don't want only one user account with administrative
privileges on Vista because the built-in Administrator account (normally
only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. In addition to the
system accounts mentioned above, you should create at least three user
accounts: one standard user account that you will use for your daily
work and two administrative accounts for permissions and emergencies.
If you want to go directly to the Desktop and skip the Welcome Screen
with the icons of user accounts, you can do this the same way as in XP:
