• I can't connect to a standard user account

  When I try to log in under a standard user account, it shows a window screen then quickly shows a logging off the screen.  I don't want to lose any information on the user account, since it holds all of my apllication of college girls and correspondence.  Before it begins to spoil, I used Malwarebyte s to the clean computer and used the avg pc tuneup utility also clean my pc.  Can anyone help?

  You must do immediately:

  1. Buy one or two USB 4 or 8 GB flash drives. They cost about $10 each.
  2. Logging in as an administrator account.
  3. Back up files of your daughter on the flash drive, then take the stick to the machine from a friend and do a few checks to ensure that you can open the files. It is difficult to understand how you could take the risk and just storing them in one place. I see a dozen scenarios in which you could lose the lot in less than a second.
  4. Check back here for instructions on how to repair the machine.

• The new silent update works with Standard user accounts?

  For security reasons, I use a standard windows instead of one admin user account.

  I actually initially stopped using firefox and switched to chrome because it refused to auto-update when logged in as a standard user.

  I hear that Firefox now has a silent update like Chrome.

  This silent update allows to auto-update when you use a standard account of Firefox?

  Obviously I can't switch back to Firefox completely unless the update feature works with standard accounts

  not yet unfortunately. You can keep an eye on the bug mentioned in the wiki of mozilla to see when the State becomes fixed...

• Howw can I use extensions I have installed as the admin for a standard user account? When I go on my Add ons under the standard user, no script is not an option. Thank you

  Hi, I'm using Vista and Firefox 3.6. I installed some popular addons such as no script and the web page of the trust for the admin account, but when I connect under the standard account with fewer rights, I do not have them available. The only way I can get to run is to right click and run as administrator which defeats the purpose to log on as a standard user. Thanks for any help you can provide.

• Accidentally changed both to 'standard user' user accounts, so now there is no user "administrator."

  I changed the two accounts to standard user accounts, and now of course I can't make changes, or download anything. Whenever I try to change anything, a UAC popup window appears, but that still leaves me not chang anything. Help.

  I think that window version my computer is XP (home).

  Thanking you in advance,

  Ms. lee

  It must be a built-in Administrator account that does not remove-able.  When you get to the login screen, hit Ctrl-Alt-Del twice.  Then you should be able to enter "Admin" as user and leave the password empty (unless you have changed in the past).  Then, you should be able to create other users with administrator privileges or other functions of the administrator.

• Select a type of user account (for example, standard user, restricted user, and other types) on computer XP pro?

  Hello.

  I have a question about how to select the type of user account for each user account.

  I read that if I type 'control userpasswords2' term, it will bring up a window of hidden user accounts.  In this window, select a name of the user account and click property, click on membership group and it will show all the type of account you can purchase (including the standard user, restricted user, the other who has many other types)

  Here is the link I read

  http://www.exnol.com/globally-control-and-change-all-users-passwords-in-Windows

  Let's say my computer is XP pro and it is in the home (not domain joined ) working group. Am I able to set these types of accounts to my user account using 'control userpasswords2' just as I explained above?

  I was wondering because I read in the microsoft help article or somewhere that it indicates that the computer must be on the field to be able to choose the type of account by using this process, I explained, and one account type you can choose where your computer is located in the Working Group's account admin or limited using the control panel then click on accounts of users... but other said it should not be on the field... I got confused.

  I would like to try it myself, but I don't have XP pro computer with me right now, I'd appreciate it really if someone could help me with the answer.

  Hi greenyy,

  If you are the administrator of the machine Windows XP Professional, you can use the command 'control userpasswords2' and access the list of user accounts and change the type of account.

  You need not necessarily be on a domain, however, it may not work for some types of user accounts on a working group.

  A test, you can try to change the type of account for user accounts & check if it works.

  Reference: To change the type of user account 

  Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

• How to run a program as an administrator on a standard user account without be prompted for the password

  I have this software that doesn't work correctly than if you run it as administrator.  When you run it as administrator on the standard user account, it asks you the password.  How you turn off the prompt for password for that one software only? Or how you also run a software Administrator without being prompted to enter a password?

  Thanks for your help.

  Matt,

  Since you don't have a Vista Home Premium, I found another article that describes a way to get around it to make a registry change.

  The following Web site:
  http://www.eCoustics.com/PCW/HOWTO/140134

  Vista Home Premium is not the Group Policy Editor. To make the changes in this version, you must change the registry. Before making any changes to the registry, back it up following the instructions in "block Cookies for spying, but keep the most useful" (scroll down to the area of blue text at the bottom of the page).

  With your backup of the registry in place, click Start, type regedit and press ENTER. In the tree on the left pane, navigate to Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. With the icon system selected in the left pane, double-click on ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin in the right pane. Change the data value to 0, then click on OK. You should see the effect immediately (no restart required).

  Not sure if this will help, but thought that I have it send your way.

  Thank you

• I got my windows vista ultimate administrator standard user account.

  I got my windows vista ultimate administrator standard user account. Now whenever I try to update or install "User Account Control" is constantly asking me to (type an administrator password, and then click OK). The problem is that I can't do this because OK is disabled (grayed out) and no place to type the admin password or the other. How to restore this administrator account or even to enable the local administrator account by default here?

  Hello

  If you have another administrator user account on your computer then log in and change the account to standard user for the administrator account.   If not, then follow the steps from the link and check if that helps: how to use system restore to log on Windows 7 or Windows Vista when you lose access to an account http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940765/en-us

• RA media server became administrator after changing my standard user account

  What is the password?

  RA media server became administrator after changing my standard user account. Now, I can not retrieve my admin rights because he kept asking admin password that I don't know. System Restore didn't help coz' it was not far enough for the moment I changed my standard user account.

  I called Dell, but I don't want to pay the support service which costs more than a hundred dollars.

  I need some help on how I could get my admin rights back again.

  I have no copy of the installers for some of my important software which is why I'm afraid to reinstall the program, or even do a system recovery.

  I use a 32-bit vista. The only solution I can think of is to get "system user", but I don't know how.

  Please I need help.

  http://en.community.Dell.com/forums/p/19252460/19419355.aspx

  Read information about it to Dell link above.

  It's the Dell software, not Vista.

• No Option of account Type change under user ID-want to change of Admin for the Standard user

  Hi, we have a Vista Home Premium system.  One of the children has received this PC and they are as an administrator with no other users.  Later, I added myself as admin and wanted to change the children as a standard user account type, but there is no option to change account type under their username.  I don't want to change the names where I am the initial administrator and the new standard user are children because they already have a bunch of stuff under their original admin username.  ((1) why I do not see the option to change account type and 2) how to change their standard account type so I can use controls parents?  Thank you!

  I want to tell you that if the computer has 1 account only, it will be the default Administrator account and change the standard account type will be gray.

  However, you can create a new user account and set a new one as a standard account.

• Problems in standard user accounts user access control

  Equipped with Vista. Accounts of users within the standard, I can not install any new software.

The password allows me to connect and install the software on the admin account, but why now is no longer get in a standard user account. ?   Any ideas?

  Hello

  You can try disabling the UAC on the standard account to see if the software will be installed.

  Enable or disable the User Account Control

  Note: Enable UAC, once the problem is resolved.

  Check and make sure that the standard account you are allowed to install.

  Step 2:

  If the problem persists, then you can create a new user account and then try to install the software.

• Account of Vista standard user will not open programs that more, can only open with the administrator account

  Whenever I try to open a program on a standard user account, a window opens asking "what program you want to use to open this with?", which is of course less useless.  I can open all programs with the administrator account, but then I can't access files of the standard user...  What happened all of a sudden; We had a malware infection that is now deleted and who may well have caused the problem.  If I use the system restore, the malware will return?  Prefer not to use SR if there is a better solution...
