Guidelines for Turning OFF Password in Windows

Windows platforms are the ones that changed the face of the software industry. Microsoft introduced Graphical User Interface (GUI) with the Windows Series. Until Windows, there were no GUI’s in the market and this made computers very hard to be handled. The interface in the non-GUI platforms consisted of command prompts. A user needs to learn commands for the platform in order to use the computer. However, GUI uses pointers for doing many functions and many functions were presented visually. Due to visual aid provided in Windows platforms, Windows platforms and Computers became very dear to users.
Once computers and Windows platform gained publicity among normal people, security became an issue when Computers gained wide spread use. Even though Microsoft has introduced security features in the introductory versions of the Windows platform, they were very weak. When security became an important issue for the users, Microsoft made reforms in the security system of the new platforms. Windows Help Websites feature a lot of articles on personal and internet security.
