Allow someone to use the pc and keeping my secure documents from them

I have a person wanting to use my pc is there any way I can afford that and keep my personal documents and photos hidden?

If you let someone log on your computer, but you don't want to have access to all of your files, you can create a guest account. Because the guest account allows a user to log on to a network, browse the Internet, and shut down the computer, you must disable the guest account when not in use.

Turn the guest account on or off:

  1. Open local users and groups by clicking the Start button, type lusrmgr.msc in the search box, and then press ENTER.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
  2. Click users, and then double-click comments.

  3. Select or clear the account is disabled check box.

    Hi RoCryan,

    Please become a member of the community of HP support.  I understand you are trying to enter your network password in the Wireless Setup Wizard to connect to your Officejet 4630.

    When you try to enter a number, you press the number the number your require. While looking at the front panel of the printer when you press a number which has corresponding letters, you should get the opportunity to choose characters that you want by pressing the same number until the character, you have need is highlighted. For example, if you want a '3', when you press the '3' on the front panel of the printer, the first character is a tiny would"; you have to press 3 until the 3 is highlighted (there is place your options ', 'e', 'f' '', 'E', 'F' or ' 3' ").

    You stop the second for loop using cluster of error which means that your upper and lower loop stops when you press exit but not the one in the middle. In theory, you should send a queue for loops below when you press the exit button and also make sure that you shoot hunting all queues before closing everything.

    Also the connection speed must be higher than the data rate of the content you read to discover Fast Streaming. The faster your connection, the better your experience will be. So it depends entirely on the broadband connection you are using and speed offered by the connection. If you want faster streaming then you need check the high-speed broadband connections.

  • Why can I not see the files I back up by using the backup and restore of Vista

    Can someone help me?  I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 and implemented backup and restore feature Vista so that every Sunday he automatically backs up my computer to my external drive.  I was on the computer when he said it starts up and that upward was completed successfully.  I assummed everything was fine until today when I show my father my drive external and noticed that none of the backup of files were there... or at least I did not see them.  The only files on the disk were the ones I put manually on here from my old computer.  I then ran a manual upward using Vista and again it says backup successfully completed.  I then watched the external hard drive and once again no new files.  The strange thing is the back up and restore program shows all the dates he has saved and also allows me to restore files from the back to the top.  To do this, I deleted a file I didn't really need out of my hard drive and then is gone to restore program and found the file and restored.  Problem is that the program does not say where he makes the file from.  What is going on?  Are backup files of certain types of hidden file I don't see unless I use the backup and restore program under vista?  I am currently running Vista Home Premium on a 32 bit system and the external hard drive I have is a Western Digital My Book Essential Edition.

    Windows backup is stored in a folder with the same name as your computer.  Open a command prompt and type echo %ComputerName% or startup, right-click on computer, properties.  You should see that % ComputerName % folder on your external drive, and in this context, a backup set.

  • Microsoft will allow me to return the OEM and get a copy retail or I have to buy the disc at retail?

    I went to the store to buy a copy of Windows 7. When I got home, I realized it was the OEM 64-bit edition. I already opened and installed. I just noticed that I should use the copy that I am not a seller of computer retail. Microsoft will allow me to return the OEM and get a copy retail or I have to buy the disc at retail? I'll be money for theOEM. I guess I should have ask a seller in the store, but they were all occupied. I installed it for someone else while they are mad at me. Can I do a system restore to solve the problem?

    Original title: oem vs retail

    There is nothing wrong with using an OEM copy, its identical to a retail license, just that he has a certain license terms. Considering that the retail licenses are rare and expensive right now, I'd work with OEM license. Microsoft ended sales at retail of Windows 7 in October 2013, while they carry a premium right now.

    The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

    -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

    -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

    -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

    -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

  • OfficeJet 8500 pro wireless using the infrastructure and ad hoc

    I have a desktop computer that I use with a wired ethernet connection and a laptop in which I use a wireless connection.

    I currently have my officejet put in place through the infrastructure on my wireless and usb on my desk.

    My question is if it is possible to use the printer in ad-hoc mode on my desk while keeping my connection wireless infrastructure through my laptop?

    I don't want to go wireless on my desk, but here the convenience to replace my long 15' usb cord with a Wi - Fi connection on the desktop.

    It seems that I can use the printer in ad-hoc mode by default but I don't think I can use ad hoc mode while using my laptop for internet usage. I guess it's either one or the other.

    It seems that the wireless officejet cannot use EITHER an ad-hoc connection at a time given the value or the infrastructure, but not BOTH at the same time that would allow me to use the printer in ad-hoc mode on my desk with my wired connection using the printer with connection infrastructure of my laptop.

    Is there a way to do this? Thank you.

    The printer can connect to a network Ad - hoc or infrastructure. It cannot be connected to both networks at the same time.

    However, if the desktop computer, laptop computer and the printer are connected to the same router; the printer can be installed wireless desktop too (Infrastructure mode).

  • How to use the capture and the print button

    I tried to figure out how to use the capture and the "print" button, or add or what you call. I press it and the whole page of a different color changes, so I try to cut the section I want but I don't know how to send it to the printer. Can someone help me with this. I'm not at savvy with tech stuff, but when I find a recipe or something and it doesn't have an option to print a certain area, I can't understand how to use it?

    Thank you

    Andi Starbuck

    That happens to me is, I click and drag to make a rectangle of yellow selection, and as soon as I raise my finger on the mouse button, the part I've selected is captured as an image, a new tab opens and preview before printing, the image display. I can use the installation of the Page or simply print. But if I close the preview, this temporary image vanishes and I'm back on the page where I started. You see something different?

  • Windows XP does not allow applications to use the virtual serial (COM) Ports

    Operating system: Windows XP Professional version 2002 Service Pack 3

    I want to use some applications to control virtual serial (COM) on a device of PEARL IOLAN STS8 D/TruePort ports in Windows XP Professional SP3. When I configure the IOLAN/TruePort I see the COM ports in the Windows Device Manager and I am able to configure my applications to use ports.  However, when applications try to open the serial ports, I get an error saying that the port is already in use or does not exist.

    I tried various alternatives to remove/re-add the ports 'in use' in Windows before you configure IOLAN/TruePort and applications. This (sometimes) allows me to use the ports but if the PC is turned off later and rebooted the problem reappears.

    Is there a reliable way to create and use virtual COM ports in Windows XP?

    The IOLAN/TruePort Pearl versions are:

    V4.3 Device Manager
    Firmware TruePort 6.4

  • I'm having a problem on line when someone else uses the same router, error message: there is an IP address conflict

    Original title: I'm having a problem online when someone else uses the same router I have...

    I bought a new laptop with windows 7 premium. I connect to the internet through an external modem dsl and a wireless belkin n router. My daughter has an Android and uses the same connection... The problem is that we cannot not be online at the same time... If shes online using his android I can't connect using the laptop and if Im online using the laptop, she can't get online using his android... The error message indicates that there is a conflict of IP address... And sometimes says that there is a dns error... How can I fix this problem so that we can surf the net using the same connection?

    Hello

    Router is the gateway to the Internet, and it assigns the IP address for different devices. With the error message, you have so many IP address conflict, it seems that the IP address is not assigned correctly on the router.

    I suggest that you turn off all devices, reset the router and turn on the router. Once that is done turn the whole one and try to connect to the Internet.

    For assistance on this, you can contact your router manufacturer or Internet service provider.

    Hope the information is useful.
