Can I install programs when logged in a limited user account?

Windows Vista Home Premium, 32-bit

Vista SP2

I connect through a limited user account. But if I need to install a program. I seem to be able to do by typing the admin password when prompted

If I install something, so lets say java and I make it from the account of limited user, but with the password admin, what negative results, if any, may come from it?

What to remove programs, is it ok to leave the limited with the password for the admin user account >?

As long as you are in possession of the admin password, you can install, Uninstall, change settings etc, in a standard user account (limited user account).
There is no (negative) disadvantage of doing.

  • Can I disable UAC when autologon on a standard user account an automatic device under WES7?

    Hello

    I'm developing digital signage players who run under WES7 with automatic logon on a standard user account. There are no keyboard, no mouse, without human intervention, but only a screen for video display, which are automatically downloaded from a content server. Each entry ports are disabled.

    Please, could we have an official point of view of Microsoft experts to approve (or not rejecting not) turning off UAC (0) on such a configuration?

    In advance, thank you for your collaboration!

    Best regards

    The UAC is designed to avoid that explicit programs to make changes to the registry, or system folders unless you give your consent. You will need to decide for yourself whether your computer could be exposed to malicious programs that tries to exploit the absence of UAC.

  • Logging on to the user account

    I tried to connect to my computer at home today however, he did not accept my password.  I don't have I changed password so I'm not sure why this problem occurred.  There is only one account on the computer, so I don't know how to log on to the computer at all.

    The error msg I get is the following:

    The user profile Service service has no logon.
    User profile cannot be loaded.

    This error can usually be fixed by following the steps below. All this requires a certain level of computer skills. You know better and that take the machine to a competent local computer tech (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad place) is the best solution for you.

    1 log on to a different user account with administrative privileges. If you neglected to make an account additional administrative steps 2-3. Otherwise, continue to step 4. See also General information on setting up user accounts in Vista at the end of this post.

    2 in Mode safe boot. This, by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. That you will get to the menu on the right where you can use your arrow key to select Mode safe [Enter]. The built-in Administrator account is disabled by default in Vista. However, if no other administrative accounts exist on the system it can be activated. If this is the case, you will see an icon for the administrator on the homescreen mode without failure. Login to the administrator.

    3 If you don't see the icon for the administrator mode safe account, then the built-in Administrator account is always disabled so you will need to work more.

    a. If you have a Vista DVD installation (not a recovery DVDs), you can start the system with it. Select the default language, then select "repair your computer". Then select "Command Prompt". At the command prompt, type:

    NET user administrator / Active: Yes [Enter]

    If you do not have a Vista installation DVD, you can do a repair file Vista bootable DVD in this link:

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    Note: All the Neosmart recovery disk downloads are torrent files. There is a good explanation of the torrent on the site Web of Neosmart files. You will need a torrent as muTorrent client to get the files. Torrent client will download the .iso file with which to create the bootable DVD.

    Now remove the rescue CD/DVD, you have done, reboot Windows and log on to the built-in Administrator account, you enabled.

    4. try a system restore to when things worked. If you can log in to your user account, you are finished. Otherwise, continue to step 5.

    5. the critical files are under % systemdrive%\users\user-account\ntuser. The ntuser.dat file is actually a registry hive. Run Regedit high and select HKEY_USERS and "load hive" in the menu. Now, go to:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

    There is a line for each profile. If a profile is bad, check:

    (a) that the name of the key does not stop in ".bak" (remove .bak If it)
    (b) that the RefCount value is 0 (change it if it is different)
    (c) that the State value is 0 (change if different)

    Make the necessary changes, close Regedit and try to connect as this user.

    6. If that doesn't solve your profile, it is corrupt. At this point you can either make a new user account and copy your data on it or simply make a new user account and delete the old a corrupt. Do not delete the old account until you have recovered data you need! Post back if you need help by creating a new user account and copy of data to it.

    You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all the other modern operating systems, Vista is an OS multi-user with system built-in accounts such as administrator, by default, all users and guest. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

    In particular, you do not want one account user with administrative privileges on Vista because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult. It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but it will take third-party tools and work outside the operating system.

    The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. As a user Standard is recommended for security reasons and will help protect your computer against infections. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

    If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:

    Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
    Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

    Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

  • Howw can I use extensions I have installed as the admin for a standard user account? When I go on my Add ons under the standard user, no script is not an option. Thank you

    Hi, I'm using Vista and Firefox 3.6.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting this question in the Microsoft Community Forums.

    I see you want to know if you can install programs on a drive with no operating system.

    I wish to inform you that this is possible with only specific programs, which give the user an option to choose where the program is installed.

    When a program is installed, it runs in program files, which lies in the operating system drive and can not be moved elsewhere.

    You can connect to https://creative.adobe.com/products and download the app CC, while it contains access to install it your authorized to.

    If you mean you want to install on another computer at home, which would be a third install, the second on a computer at home and one at work, simply login to Office CC of the older the home computer, and when you connect to CC Desktop on the third computer it will ask you to turn it off on the other two.  To do this, then do not connect to CC Desktop on another computer that you intend to use CC on, that would work.

  • software installed as that user admin does not work when logged in as standard user

    Running a desktop computer dell with XP SP3 home edition with no possibility of wifi

    Bought the USB adapter wireless and successfully installed the software and connected to the router connected as a user with administrator rights. When I connect software standard user being their but does not connect to the router. ? Standard user family security enabled, I disables it, but it makes no difference.

    Thanks for your suggestion, yes tried and it works when I connect as long as the user admin with a password even if I'm in the standard account. However he does not remember the settings, so whenever you access the standard account you must connect as admin users that would amount to giving the password to the admin of my grandson who defeats the object to have its own user account.

    But I solved the problem, when I looked in C:\documents and setting\admin data User, I found the folder for the software with an ini configuration file and a profile ini file. The profile ini file was missing in the same application for standard user folder. When I copied the file across and made a minor change to the standard user configuration ini file is the file of users admin everything works fine
