Windows users list

In this window there is the list of all the local users and the available BUILTIN groups.
The formatt of the username is: PCNAME\USERNAME

The list is organized as following:
First there is the list of local users. The list contains at least 4 users:

  1. PCNAME\systemprofile: Is the "SYSTEM" user.
  2. PCNAME\LocalService: Is the "LOCAL SERVICE" user. In some cases it can appear as "PCNAME\LocalService.NT AUTHORITY".
  3. PCNAME\NetworkService: Is the "NETWORK SERVICE" user. In some cases it can appear as "PCNAME\NetworkService.NT AUTHORITY".
  4. PCNAME\MAINUSER: Is the user you have created when initializing windows.
In some cases you could have the "PCNAME\Administrator" user. If you have only one user this could be it.

After the list of local users there is the list of the BUILTIN groups. Since the list of BUILTIN Groups contains 23 items, most of which are usefull only in some cases, the list can be personalized. To do that see the settings window.
