The easiest way to make new users accounts is right click the my computer icon assuming its on the desktop, click manage, click on local users and groups, then click on the user folder.

Now right click in the empty white area on the right, just below the user accounts.

By default accounts made this way are a member of the users group and this does what you desire. That is assuming your application has no special requirements for an admin account.

I attached a link to the MS website which goes into detail on user accounts. Feel free to write me if you need anymore assistance on this issue.
