-Share All Your Home Computing Resources In many households, more than one person uses a single computer. Whether you have one computer or a whole network, whether your peripheral hardware includes a single printer or a wide range of devices, and whether you connect your devices and computers with conventional cables or new wireless technologies, Windows XP Home Edition helps everyone in your home access all of the resources they need, from printers to the family photo collection.
-Designed to be the best operating system for home networking, Windows XP supports a complete set of home applications along with the infrastructure to support even richer experiences coming in the near future. Windows XP makes it easy for every computer on a home network to share a single connection to the Internet, to access peripheral devices including printers and CD–ROM drives, and to make files such as digital music or photos accessible to everyone.

-User Profiles Make Everyone's Computer Experience Unique User Profiles allow everyone who shares a home computer to create a distinct profile that has all of their favorite settings saved. Now, when you log on to your account, you'll find your choice of wallpaper on the desktop, the sites you've chosen in the Favorites folder in Internet Explorer, your preferences for viewing folders, and more.
The New Welcome Screen: Keeping it Personalized The Welcome screen can be personalized for everyone who uses a home computer. When you create a User Profile, either during Setup or from the Control Panel, you can personalize the Welcome screen by adding a photo or illustration next to your account name. You can also set a password on your account if you choose.
-Fast User Switching Makes it Easy to Share a Computer With Fast User switching, you don't have to close the applications you're working on when someone else needs to use the computer. You simply switch out of your account and let the other person log on to his or her own account. For example, if you are working on a spreadsheet and someone else needs to check for an important e–mail, all you have to do is log off and let them log on. When they are finished, you just log back on—your spreadsheet and the other applications you were using will be open and waiting for you.
