Why each option

Adding local user accounts in Windows 7 is done through Computer Management by navigating to Local Users and Groups.

AClick on the Start button> Right click on Computer> Select Manage> Expand Local Users andCorrect

Right-clicking Computer on the Start menu and selecting Manage opens Computer Management, where expanding Local Users and Groups and then right-clicking the Users folder allows a technician to select 'New User' to create a local account. Windows 7 uses 'Computer' (not 'My Computer' as in older versions) as the label for this shortcut.

BClick on the Start button> Right click on My Computer> Select Manage> Right click on Local

'My Computer' is the Windows XP label for the computer shortcut - Windows 7 uses 'Computer', making this path reference incorrect for Windows 7.

CClick on the Start button> Right click on Computer> Select Manage> Right click on Local

Right-clicking directly on 'Local Users and Groups' rather than expanding it to access the Users subfolder is not the standard path for creating a new user account.

DClick on the Start button> Right click on Network Neighborhood> Select Manage> Right click

'Network Neighborhood' is an obsolete label from Windows 9x/early XP and does not exist in Windows 7 - using it to access Computer Management is incorrect.
