Administrator account makes me crazy

• How can I make Firefox the default browser in a non-administrative account in Windows XP, where clicking to do has no effect?

  I have two accounts for myself on my PC under Windows XP. In the administrative account, Firefox is already the default browser that appears when I double-click an HTML file, etc. Firefox knows that it is the default browser.

  In my other account, whenever I start Firefox, it tells me that this isn't the default browser. By clicking here to make the value by default, or in the options, does nothing.

  When I go to Set Program Access and defaults in the administrative account, 'use my current browser' is selected. Mozilla Firefox is not listed as an option. In my nonadministrator account, the Control Panel Add / Remove programs can be used. He says I don't have permission.

  To check in the other account, you would have to temporarily give him administrator permissions.

• make default runas to my admin instead of "Administrator" account

  I was under the impression that the built-in Administrator account is disabled in the Service Pack 1 or 2 (I forget which). I am running SP3.

  Is it possible to make that when I choose 'runas' while it is connected to my limited account 'slick' default is my admin account called "slickrcbd' instead of 'administrator '? It is often more convenient to use to run a single command to log with the other account and I keep finding minor tweaks to do.

  Now, if only it were as easy to use the control in this way panels, but the only way I know how is to find the .cpl and run it from the command line with "runas / user: slickrcbd 'control XXX.cpl'..." MSCs are even worse, as I have to locate them and made a right click, when half the time I forget where is located the "services.msc" (I added as an individual in the "Administrative Tools" in the Start Menu, as well as the mmc).

  SlickRCBD salvation,

• Is it not possible for me to duplicate my administrator account?

  My little brother uses my account, so I would really like that, if I could reproduce them so he could have his own. Is it possible if the account is the administrator?

  Hi EColl,

  It is a complicated question, but in general, it can be done.

  First of all, it is possible to create a new user account and move information from one account to the other.  You will use essentially the same procedure if the account has been corrupted (except you copy instead of move and would not remove the original account). Here is the procedure in Vista: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.  If you have a different operating system, or perform a search on Bing for 'fix a user profile corrupted in ' or post back and I'll try to find it for you.

  If you want him to have administrator rights, you are finished.  If this is not the case, use your username to change his account to a standard account and then you are done (but if he is accustomed to using an administrator account, he can find a standard account quite a bit more restrictive - but it's up to you).

  But consider that, while both accounts have the same starting point for documents, images, programs, audio, desktop, settings, e-mail programs and configurations and accounts and other, as soon as you start to use them separately, they will become different.  He will not have access to your user accounts and any additions, changes or deletions you make will not intervene in his account (because is not the same account).  Well, if you two administrators, technically, you can access the data in each and other accounts and copy it to your own - but who then begins to defeat the purpose of having separate accounts.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• While creating a new account, my own disappeared "computer administrator account.

  When I created a new user account for my girls, my own family's missing "computer administrator account. Everything that I have now is my "acct kids" who says it is my "admin acct comp' now and all my icons, Favorites, all is gone and can't find it. I didn't delete it, I don't think. When I go to remove user accounts, it isn't here either. I made a password for my account before it disappeared however. Can I retrieve it somehow like that? I'm so disappointed.

  It is a feature, not a bug.

  Windows XP has a built-in account named "Administrator" (without the quotes).  The design idea was that you should only use this account for "emergencies" and not to use it on a daily basis.  This is because that the accounts of users, sometimes, be damaged, it is useful to have a verified account with full administrative access that you can use to fix things.

  To "enforce" this idea (or at least to encourage users to follow), as soon as you create a new account with "Computer administrator" privileges, Windows XP hidden administrator on the Welcome screen.

  The administrator account is still there.

  If you have Windows XP Pro, press CTRL + ALT + DELETE twice during to the home screen when you are logged on all accounts.  You will get the "classic" logon window  Enter Administrator as the user and the password defined.

  If you have XP Home Edition, you must start the computer Safe Mode by repeatedly pressing the F8 key just after the restart.  If you see the Windows logo, you waited too long to start typing and have to start over.  You can use this method without failure for XP Pro as well.  Once Windows starts in Mode safe mode, the administrator account appears on the Welcome screen.

  You have two options at this point: (1) make a new "computer administrator" account for your everyday use and copy to administrator stuff (and then let administrator not used except for emergency situations) or (2) create a "computer administrator" account that you will use that with the exception of emergency situations and make administrator appear on the Welcome screen.  I suggest you to option (1).

  (1): see "workgroup" mode here--> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811151 account 'Administrator' you used is the "corrupt" account the "new user profile' is the new account that you create which has"computer administrator"privileges and you will need to log on to an account with "computer administrator" privileges to do all this - which can be the 'kids' acct (which, depending on your position, does not have these privileges).

  (2): make the administrator account visible on the homepage: http://www.theeldergeek.com/missing_administrator_account.htm
  C:\WINDOWS\ERUNT allows you to make a backup of the registry before start you.

  Note: once you have things under control and have a spare part "computer administrator" account, regardless of how you choose to do, I suggest you do your children has a "Limited user" account to limit the amount of malice, they are able to do (of course, if they are more than 8 years they will be able to find a way to work around this problem).
