• Microsoft FixIt fails with the error 0x80004005 when run in the Standard user login

  Microsoft recommends running in a Standard user login.  However, the FixIt will not work in a Standard user login, even if started with "Run as Administrator".  It comes up with an empty window of FixIt if started without "Run as Administrator".  If started with 'Run as Administrator', it fails with the error: 0x80004005.  Don't miss this way 'by design', given that Microsoft must often State?

• that allows standard users change ppp settings, removing UAC admin fast pwd to DPIscaling.exe

  I am currently using windows vista ultimate 64-bit with an installed nvidia geforce 8800 gtx card. I'm the ADM on the machine, with the standards users who connect it. My account of adm does not have the problem. I'm trying to find a way to allow standard users on the machine to have the ability to change the ppp settings.

  The path of the file is C:\Windows\System32\DpiScaling.exe

  I tried to use the solution listed on this site: http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/window-on-windows/?p=635

  and used the Application Compatibility Toolkit.  I used a lot of different options, the 32-bit version, 64-bit, different boxes, without success. When you click right on the file properties and click on the Compatibility tab, it says:
  Cannot be set on this program compatibility modes because it is part of the Windows version.

  I have a standard users also granted full control of the executable, and if the logged-on user account, he got always invited him to enter the administrator credentials. I understand that this only gives the user access to the file and not what the file does.

  I need to find a solution to allow standard users on the computer to change the DPI settings without the need of the admin password.  While looking for solutions here and on the site of regular microsoft (support.microsoft.com) support, all I could find are methods that disable the guests of UAC elevation and ways to disable UAC completely.    http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/w7security/thread/0364515a-301e-47C5-AF99-39347b83c6b4-je don't want to do that.  I even tried and the standard user has always invited to enter an admin password.  I don't want to disable UAC or the guests of elevation, surprisingly these guests don't mind.   The computer is set to high resolution and need to continually change the DPI setting to enable the second monitor (my HDTV) text output in a format that is clear and correct.  The reason why we have change back is because the cursor of the mouse in the PC video games being played here on disappears when the DPI is set to what higher than normal / default. So before any game is played, the DPI settings in windows settings must be changed to the default / normal.

  Since I was the user only administrator on the machine, I am concerned when other users would like to play their games. but can not, because I am not present.  I want to be the only Admin account on the machine.  Bad things tend to happen when I allow other users are administrators on the machine.

  Hello

  Your question is more complex than what is generally answered in the Microsoft Answers forums. It is better suited to the security of Windows Vista on TechNet. Please ask your question in the TechNet forum.

• Standard user needs access to the protected admin program

  My older games, Mabinogi online, but it requires my password each time until he could play. Is anyway around this without giving my password? This means that yes there is a problem of trust involved. We have just recovered from a massive virus infestation and do not want a repetition.

  Hello
  In addition to the response of Mick Murphy, check this:
   
  Step 1: To run the game or any program as an administrator, try the following steps.
  1. right click on the game launch icon or program, and then click Properties.
  2 click the Compatibility tab and choose "run this program as an administrator", under the privilege level.
  3. apply the changes.
  4. open the icon and provide the administrator credentials and keep identification information.
  5. Once opened the game the next time the user will be able to continue without entering credentials.
   
  Step 2: Install the program or game for all users.
  A lot of programs or games have the option to choose to install the game or program for all users on the computer.
  1. install the game using the Setup file.
  2. follow the instructions in the wizard; Select for all users on the computer.
  3 complete the installation.
   
  Step 3: Copy the shortcut icon of game launch on the standard user desktop.
  1 copy the shortcut icon of launching a game from the user admin account and paste it into the Office of standard user account. The location to paste the copied icon is: C:\Users\\Desktop
  2. run the game and check the result.
   
  I hope this helps.

• Big problem with user Microsoft Access control

  Hello

  I have to work around for CCleaner (UAC) user access control that begins after every time Windows starts as an auto start the program.

  Every time you start, I get the UAC prompt which warns me again and again.

  I don't want to disable access to the computer, but only for CCleaner user control.

  Creating a link like this: http://www.petri.co.il/bypass-uac-using-desktop-shortcut.htm there's no option for me, so I found this:

  http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=7352.

  I followed these instructions: http://www.ghacks.net/2010/07/08/get-rid-of-uac-prompts-with-microsofts-application-compatibility-toolkit/

  but it does not work. I always get the guests.

  What can I do?

  Thank you very much in advance

  George

  It would be impossible because it would create an immediate and global security hole.  For example, let's say you whitelist CCLeaner.  Then all viruses and Trojan horses in the world know immediately they can simply replace the file ccleaner.exe on your computer a copy of the virus and it will be automatically approved and completely take over your computer.

• 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.

• My wife is the administrator user and she forgot her password and she did not save what we can and there are only standard users on this PC, what can we do?

  My wife is the administrator user and she forgot her password and it does not back up and there is only standard users on this PC, what can we do?

  If your wife was using his account with "computer administrator" privileges, and then use the built-in account named "Administrator".

  By default, the built-in account named "Administrator" doesn't have a password.  If you have XP Pro, you can access the administrator account (with no other connected users) Welcome screen by pressing CTRL + ALT + DELETE twice to bring up the "classic" logon window  Enter the administrator user and leave the password empty box.

  In XP Pro or XP Home, you can access the administrator account by restarting mode without fail (repeatedly press F8 to leave immediately after the computer starts / restarts; if you see the Windows logo, you waited too long and you will need to try again).  Once Windows starts in Mode safe mode, the administrator account will appear on the Welcome screen.

  Once you are in the administrator account, go to control panel > user accounts to reset the password of an account with "computer administrator" privileges or create a new user account with privileges "computer administrator."

  If the password that you lack to the built-in, ' administrator' account politics of Microsoft for these forums forbid us to provide you with any information that might help you to bypass this password.

• 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

• Standard user can connect to the new network wireless only in local mode - no Internet pass through by the router.

  My wife now takes a laptop (HP Pavilion) with her on a business trip.  The computer that runs Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit SP2 with all updates.  I have his set as a standard user account, just to keep him out of trouble.  However, with his own account, it can connect to a new wireless network, like a hotel or business she visits could offer.  But, invariably, she gets access 'local only' - no pass Internet through connectivity.  I had to give him the information of my account as an administrator, and then she is able to connect without difficulty.

  Of course, this isn't an ideal situation - standard user must be able to connect to the Internet through a new wireless network.  Otherwise, I should be able to change his account in such a way that it can be given to this authority without necessarily opening the entire system and its related vulnerabilities.
  Any help, suggestions or solutions?

• 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?

• How to disable the drop-in by a "standard user" in Windows Vista

  I use Windows Vista and I have a standard user account. The Welcome Center appears each time I have windows to connect.  I uncheck the box in the lower left corner in the visitor centre, but it does not work.  He always keeps showing upwards. Also, I try to use regedit to remove the entry in the race, but surprisingly I was not allowed to delete the entry because I'm a standard user. So please tell me how to disable the reception centre for a standard user.

  Thank you very much.

  Hello Jackyhn,

  You can make a registry change using the following key:

  Method 1: Go to the Windows Vista registry editor

  To disable Windows Vista Welcome Center with editing the registry:

  • Type regedit in Windows Vista start menu search box.
  • Highlight:
  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion, Run.
  • Right-click on the WindowsWelcomeCenter key and select Delete.
    Reboot your system.

  Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.

  If please reply back and let us know if this suggestion has helped.
