Select what type of account you want it to be:  Standard or Administrator.  Remember that a standard user is much safer.  And its perfect if you are making an account that does not require installations and modifications to the operating system.  Standard user account is great for  friends and family.  Be stingy with the administrator account because its susceptible to viruses and misconfigurations.  Only the owner of the system should have an Administrator account.
