  Hi MaxQG,

  1. what happens when you try to access the Internet from the standard user account?

  2. you receive messages or error codes?

  3. have you ever connect to the Internet from the standard user account?

  You can check if there are parental controls together to prevent the user to access the Internet. You can see the bottom of the article for more information on this:

  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

• How to remove the Standard user account password

  I am the only person to use my computer, as recommended that I've set up an admin and the standard user account. The admin is password protected, the standard user does not have to be. I accidentally answered a guest orders and entered a password and want to remove it.  When I try to remove it, I get the message windows cannot remove the password.     How can I remove this password?  I must stress that it is Windows 7.

• How to access the administrator account disabled on standard user account?

  I recently disbaled my account admin by this step

  Control Panel > administrative tools > computer management > local users and groups > users > admin account > properties > check an account is disabled

  Now, I want access to my admin account

  I tried to access it from the login screen by clicking CTRL + ALT + DELETE but his does not work and also tried to start a cmd as administrator of the standard user account, but his is not accessible. Now I can able to access standard user only, now please tell me how to access my admin account to standard user account that I created.

  What you were doing was equivalent to throw out your safe master key. Not a good idea. Here's how you can recover from this error:

  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 you disabled the admin account.
  8. Instead of disable your own and only the account admin, you now need to 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.

• Standard user account cannot access the programs installed by administrators account

  I have a new Windows 7 computer. I installed various programs using the Administrators account, and then I created a Standard user account. When I login as a user standard I can't see all installed programs. Some are, some are not aware that I have nothing differently when I installed each program. I deleted the first standard user account and created a new standard user but still don't see not all installed programs.

  Thank you

  When you have installed programs, perhaps you have chosen to install just for the first user. In all cases, you can put shortcuts to programs in the Menus to start other users.

  Right click on the "All programs" button from the Start Menu and choose 'Open' to get user-specific Start Menu folder. Choose "Open All Users" to download the file of the start - the system-wide Menu.

  %Appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu folder or user-specific and
  C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu for all users.

  Then just copy the shortcut icons, as you wish.

  By the way, I always install programs from the Standard user account, providing the password/OK to the UAC prompt. Even if of course you want an administrative user established (and always run as standard for your daily work), almost never, you need to log on to the administrative account.
