Administrator and user only: should I create a user account for myself or run as administrator?

• My question is: is there an approach appropriate to where and how files should be created and arranged, except directly in your main drive, in my case C:?

  I recently had a hard drive replaced requiring a new installation of Windows 7. When I went to get the system in place, the guy who set up Windows told me that he created the user directory specifically in a way so that new files to be created in a Documents folder that was created under the username. At least that's what, in my view, said.

  In any case, I always create new folders and their subfolders under Local C: drive.  My question is: is there an approach appropriate to where and how files should be created and arranged, except directly in your main drive, in my case C:? Thank you for your help.

  Windows 7 has been designed with the intention that user folders and files will be store in one of the folders under the users, that is to say the Documents, photos, etc.

  It is not recommended to store in the root, i.e. C:\ directory.

  If you have any other disks or partitions, you can store what you want there.

• 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.

• by using a standard user account, when it is run as an administrator, system does not ask for password

  • I created a standard account for one of my children. He installed a program that refused him permission to run. I went to "run as administrator" and should be asked for a username and password to allow him to use the program. Instead he gave me the same error message access denied.
  • I then tried to implement other programs on his desk to run as administrator and they opened, but they ask me password. Why not invite me for a username and passoword?
    
    

  But the my administrator account has a password!

  Log in as administrator, and then set a new non-empty password. Now, repeat the test under your son's account.

• I bought AdobeCC device and user licenses for education, but have problems installing.

  I bought AdobeCC device and user licenses for education.

  1:

  I'm not able to install Acrobat Pro. I can thoose app and it is downloaded, but when I run the AdobeCC.msi Acrobat Pro is not installed. Why?

  I have no problem with the installation of Photoshop and Illustrator.

  2:

  I have a problem to update Photoshop and Illustrator.

  The option is not "active" in the Help menu.

  3:

  A reason, it is not the same version that is installed as a device license and user license. The license of currency seems to be newer than the user license. How is this possible when the license are ordered at the same time?

  1 acrobat is what we call an exception and are located in the folder of Exceptions. To install it, you must use the correct settings which are noted in the text of the Exceptions, and can also be found here. https://helpx.Adobe.com/creative-cloud/Packager/using-exceptions-Deployer.html

  Then run the following command before you deploy your msi

  exceptionDeployer.exe - workflow is install - mode = pre - installLanguage = de_DE (change the language accordingly).

  An example script can be found here: http://pastebin.com/nktBUZdL

  2. in creative cloud links Manager, there is an option to block users from using the Adobe Update Manager. This could explain the problem with the update.

  I have the following problem: I found a beautiful picture on Adobe Stock what my client wants to use for graphics work I've created for him (commercial use).

  I am a graphic designer and I have the account - my client must create their own account and download the image itself?

  Or can I create a sub account for him and legally use the image for the work? If so, HOW?
  I don't find really no useful response to this question... I hope so, you can help me!

• Excel and user account control

  I have a shortcut to an Excel spreadsheet saved on my desktop.  I use is ever day.  Everytime I open it I have to click Yes on the popup screen that asks do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer.  How can I keep my UAC control level but allow Excel spent?

  UAC should not contest an Excel file, if the system is working properly.  I have my UAC set to top & I use Excel files without any problem.

  You will probably get better help in MS Office Excel forum but do these controls first:

  1 Excel open other files correctly?

  2. If you open Excel, and then use to open the file, it opens correctly?

  3 don't Excel file containing the macros auto_open affecting the system that is running this macro the thing that is called into question?  [this idea may be rejected if check 2 books - and I doubt that it in any case, you have mentioned]

  4 check the properties of this shortcut.  Right-click on it, select Properties, click the Advanced button.  You have the checkbox for run as administrator?  If so just, clear the check box, or just create a new shortcut to the file in Excel.

  I guess that check 4 will solve your problem, but if not, see if the users Office Forum can help you further.

  Additional - Keep an eye on this other thread as another user is also having problems with an Excel file ongoing disputed User Account Control, a recommended security level prevents starting applications

• I forgot the password and user name for windows xp

  I accidentally locked my computer and now it asks username and password (windows xp). Unfortunately I forgot the two. Is it possible to reset it?

  If you have forgotten your password, if you have another user who has administrative privileges account you can log in to that account and change the password of your account of origin of the user accounts applet in Control Panel. If you do not have another account like this set upwards or that you do not have the password which you will need to log on to the built-in Administrator account. In XP Home, start the computer in Mode safe. This, by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. This will put you in the right menu. Navigate using your arrow up; the mouse does not work here. Once in safe mode, you will see the normally hidden administrator account. The default password is white.

  In XP Pro, you don't need to go to Safe Mode. In the home screen, do Ctrl-Alt-Del twice to get the classic Windows logon box. Type in "Administrator" and the password that you assigned when you set up Windows.

  If you have XP Pro or Media Center and have been using the account administrator for your regular work so it is the only user account on the system, there are ways to change the password for this account to a white. Microsoft does not allow us to tell how, in these forums. Their House, their rules. Use Google or ask a technician to the local computer (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad of the place).

• How reinstall individual programs and users accounts after recovery of Windows 7?

  Hello

  I have Windows 7 Home Premium. I have problems, have tried all the options and want to do a recovery system of the C: drive as a last resort before taking the computer home.

  I used the Backup and Restore to back up my C: drive as a whole (including the image of the system in case where something goes wrong) on an external drive, but I've never used, backup and restore. I'm not sure if she actually re - installed programs or just moves them. I don't have a disk for my suite Office 2007 so I can't reinstall it it will be lost (unless I used the image of the system, of course).

  Can you tell me if yes or no backup and restore will actually reinstall Office, and if so, how do I do?

  Also, I have 2 user accounts on the computer. Can back up and restore reinstall all the accounts of individual users?

  Thank you for your time.

  The new computer will come with Windows (for example, Win10) preinstalled?

  Remarks/comments:

  • A restore an image.
  • An image created on the computer may not be fully compatible with computer B A.
  • The only way to do a clean install of an application is using the original installation media (unless the application is preinstalled on the computer in question).

• Need to create separate Microsoft accounts for each user on Skype?

  We have a laptop family with a single connection from Windows, and we Skype to instsalled office. My husband and I have our own Skype accounts, and we've been able to connect to these separate accounts (not at the same time, but that's fine). Today, I opened Skype, and the interface was changed. I got my husband to open my session, but he said that I need to create a second account from Microsoft to connect under another user of Skype. I don't want a new account from Microsoft. I have enough accounts of various kinds, and I want a unique Windows connection for this laptop. I want different users of a Windows account to connect to Skype with Skype accounts that we already have in place. How to do this?

  I think I found my problem. I reinstalled Skype and realized that what I was watching was a Skype app, I had not seen before and not the Skype for the desktop application. I am connected to Skype for Windows under my own account.

  Sorry for jumping the gun and thank you to all of you who have been thinking about this issue.

• NETFramework will not work research restoration help and user account blank screens

  When I try to access the microsoft fix option it says need net framework, but it is installed to restore the white screen go to the empty user account go to help the screen white screen

  Do not rely on any Microsoft Fix option never work.  They might work, but I not rely on it, count on it or expect to work.  You'll usually just fix things yourself by hand (as this problem of yours now).

  Your screen just says 'User accounts' user accounts in the title bar and have just the rear buttons, forward and home?

  If your system restore page display only the title bar 'System Restore', or your accounts settings page of users shows that the 'User accounts' title bar and the screen where information needs to be is an empty white box...

  System Restore is a frequent target of attacks by malicious software.  If SR was working before and is now afflicted, run some scans and then fix any problems.

  Remember that the system restore is not a time machine.

  Your system is currently or has been reached by malicious software.

  You can now fix the symptom and find malware later, or you can now search for malware and fix the remains later (but you need to do both).

  I recommend just fixing the symptom of the empty page and forget to do the scans.  The symptom of the problem of fixing and fixing the problem are two different things.

  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:

  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

  The scans using own it may also be necessary to re-register some dll (or you can do this part first, but you still have to do the scans).

  To solve the immediate problem:

  Looks like your file jscript.dll became somehow not registered so you can re-record it.

  There are probably a few other things that do not work you know yet, so fix them all at once.

  Re-registration of these DLLs is correct, even if they do not need renewal.  You can also re-register the dll before the scans that can solve the problem, but the scans are always recommended.

  Click Start, run, and in the box enter orders following one at a time.  Click the OK button to execute each command one at a time.

  regsvr32 jscript.dll
  regsvr32 vbscript .dll
  regsvr32 /i mshtml.dll (it's a look of slash)

  The last order for mshtml load the DLL but can also contain a harmless warning depending on your environment.

  Now check your timetable for restoration of the system and/or the user account settings page.
