• 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.

  See article:

• My OS has an identity crisis! My user account has an alias? Who owns my computer? Do I really need an administrator account, but also a Standard?

  I'm confused by the different results different utilities to inform me on the question of whether if I use an administrator at some point account. When I got the computer it was pre-installed with Win 7, and the OWNER was called USER, what is an administrator account. First, I changed the username in the CPL accounts user to "Willy". For a week or two, I've experimented with that, and various utilities gave me different results. I think that "Willy" had been grafted onto a shortcut, the pointer or the synonym for 'User '. At one point, Windows Explorer has changed the user to 'Willy' folder, but still I get harassed me to raise my status for the various system calls, unless I used the option to right click "run as Administrator" (I don't know when this option became available in the context menu), to load the Application or 'Take Ownership' option (ditto) , which was confusing and ' it was hard to understand what he did. Then, I created an administrator named 'Administrator' account (perhaps a mistake) and changed "Willy" (or 'User'?) to a standard account. I'm still confused. I have now two directories in the directory C:\User, 'Administrator' and 'Willy '. But I'm now slowed by the login screen. If I choose "Willy", then Manager of tasks/Users told me that 'User' is connected, the shell command line sets the directory as... \Users\User and the back order 'whoami' tells me that I am 'user '.

  If anyone can clarify these issues, then I'll be very grateful: -.

  1. How can I synchronize my folder with my user name names?

  2. How can I make my user account (regardless of his name) have the permissions of the owner of the computer?

  3. I just have a user account, which can be high if necessary?

  4. where can I get detailed information about what happens when we renames, deletes, or creates a new folder?

  5. can I get digital trouble for appropriating files I transferred from my old computer?

  6. the built-in Administrator account can be used for limited, system calls instead of create an administrator account called "Administrator"? I'd rather just Butler of my own private PC and can't see the login screen. I know the deletion of an account will solve this problem, but which, 'Administrator' - the account admin, or "User" (aka "Willy"), the standard account?

  1. Name of the folder to synchronize with the user name.
     You cannot change the name of the user folder after it is created, because everything depends on it.  If you want it to function, create a new account user profile on the computer using the name you want the file to be.  Then, delete the one with the name that you don't like.
  2. Set the user account must have the permissions as owner
     Set the 'administrator' account type and he will have full control over your computer.
  3. Can I have a single user account and raise necessary?
     You can have a standard account you can raise when you need to.  But you still need to have an administrator account to use (or otherwise you will never be able to raise or even change the settings again... bad news!)
  4. What happens when we rename, remove, or create a new folder?
     There is nothing happening, the step you take is applied immediately on hard drive.
  5. Problems with the previous computer file transfer?
  
  No, that's your prerogative. You can do what you want, as long as it's not against your terms of use agreement.  If you can not decompile the source code of the operating system for example, is against your license to use Windows.
• The built-in Administrator account can be used for system calls restricted, rather than create an account administrator called "Administrator"?
  The built-in Administrator account is already called "Administrator", by default, unless you changed it.

  If you don't want to see the login screen, just use an automatic connection.  I have a video that explains how and it works on all versions of Windows:

• try to change the mode of feeding for a user account, the instructions worked to change the administrator account, but changes do not appear on user accounts.

I was not able to discover how to inactivate Security Essentials, so did not try to change the mode of power without interference from her.

  Another indicated position of the potential interference of the BIOS settings. I don't know how to check if this may be the case. I have MS Windows XP Pro SP3 installed. I have automatic and current updates.

  Hello

  You can change the setting in see Group Policy for this document:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc730920.aspx

  Or change temporarily the user to an admin account, make the changes and then return as a standard user.

• Windows 7 Administrator account cannot change password ("the password entered is incorrect")

  I have a user account on my computer. This is an administrator account. I can connect with my administrator password and I am in this account as I write this. When I try to change the password in the control panel-> user accounts-> change your Windows password I get my password for the existing administrator and then the new twice, but I get the error message "the password entered is incorrect. Please re-enter your current password. »

  • I entered the current password is the correct (otherwise I wouldn't be connected to the account).
  • I made repeated tests, so I can exclude typos
  • the caps lock is disabled

  How can I work around this problem to change my password? "Current password" means something other than the password I used to access my account?

  Is it possible to display the version of distorted of the password so that I can use it when you change the account password?

  There is no way to display an existing password.

  To dig a little deeper, I suggest you do this:

  1. Create an alternative admin account. You should have it anyway, even that you have a spare House key, because you'd be in diabolical trouble, if something went wrong with your one and only the admin account.
  2. Test the alternative account.
  3. Play with the password for your existing account. If you get locked, use the alternative account to reset the password.

• PE8: Selected type of bad - need to change from standard to wide screen

  Hi gurus,

  In the middle of editing a bunch of video, I managed to incorrectly create a DV-NTSC-Standard project instead of NTSC-DV-grand screen.

  Is there an easy way to convert this project?  The video is HD Widescreen and I wouldn't have to recreate days

  Thanks for your thoughts!

  Ward,

  First the bad news - no. Once a project has been created, this project is defined.

  Now the good news - you have assets rounded up and know what needs to be done for them in the new project.

  The only way to really move the editing to another project is a Clipboard utility (cannot even remember his name right now), that you can use to select all the assets on your Timeline, save the Clipboard improved and then paste it into the new project.

  Seems that the name is something like ClipMate, but I do not know and never used.

  Good luck

• The administrator account has disappeared from my computer running Windows XP Pro. How can this happen and how can it be solved?

  I don't see that the clarification would help.

  To retrieve the getting started welcome screen (in fact, many people want to know how to get the system to the way you have it, on the contrary), see--> http://windowsxp.mvps.org/noautologon.htm

  Out of curiosity, use the command control userpasswords2 described on the link above and look at the list of users.

  You should have:

  • each account you created
  • an account named Administrator
  • an account named ASPNET; and
  • an account named comments

  You have these accounts?  Specifically, you have an account named Administrator in more the one named Admin?

  All Windows XP installations have a built-in account named Administrator.  This account should normally be reserved for emergency cases and therefore, is hidden in the home in normal mode screen once you have created your own user account (I don't remember if you have created an account with computer administrator privileges user, or if the creation of a user account allows to hide 'Administrator').  Although it is possible to rename the built-in account, doing so is not easy and not a good idea IMO.

• I want to change my account type, STANDARD of Directors.

  original title: HELLO, IM VIC. What should I do with my Windows 7 Ultimate? I want to change my account type, STANDARD of Directors.

  Whenever I tried to change it as an administrator account I can't click the YES"" button.

  Hi Victor,

  What happened to your original administrator account?

  If you use a standard account to change the type of account, it is not possible. You must be logged in as an administrator to change the standard administrator account type.

• How can my computer change a standard user to an administrator in itself?

  I have three sons. Yesterday, I noticed that the user account for them had been changed from Standard user to administrator. This son don't know how to make such a change, even if he had Admin rights. It happened several times in the past, and after correcting, it happens again.

  Today, I discovered that the accounts of two of my sons have been modified by the Standard user to administrator. Why is this happening? How the computer can change the type of account alone?

  I checked the status of user account control, and the cursor is on "notify me only when programs try to make changes to my computer.

  Windows 7 gives me fits in too many areas.

  I login or Administrator status seems to be granted just like my wife.

  -> Have you ever checked if this happens when you start mode safe?

  Frederik, I've responded to your suggestions several times.

  -> September 5, I posted a second script and very detailed instructions. I can't see your response to it. I suspect that you have completely missed.

  When I double-clicked on the program, nothing happened.

  -> If you use the script I posted for you and follow the detailed instructions so the program will not work.

• I can't change my user account type

  1. I can't change it back my administrator account type, I accidentally change standard user.
  2. How can I change it to administrator?
  3. I use window7

  You yourself effectively painted into a corner. Here's how you can jump out of it and avoid a recurrence (requires a tiny amount of foresight...):

  1. Set your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
  2. Start the computer with your Windows 7 repair CD.
  3. Press a key when prompted to boot from the DVD.
  4. Select 'PC Repair' in the menu.
  5. Select 'Repair' when prompted.
  6. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
  7. Configure Windows to a point before downgrade you your account.
  8. Plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare emergency House key. This will save you a lot of trouble.

• Impossible to change the user account for the administrator account

  I have followed closely the instructions in this forum to change a user to an administrator account account. However, when the dialog box that allows the selection of a standard account or administrator account opens and I select the administrator account, the "change account Type" gray button and I can't make the selection. Any help would be appreciated.

  Your account is already at the level of the admin (see marked area below). You may not promote any more away.
