• Cannot access the internet using the account invited in Vista. Unable to access using the administrator account.

  This one is strange - and I repeat that the problem is that I can't access the internet by using the administrator account.  The guest account works fine.  All programs are there and launch the fine (IE, Live Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, etc.), but they cling right there when I try to log on or access to any Web site.

  While in the administrator account, I ran "CMD" in the run menu and can ping Yahoo, Google, etc. with success.  It's embarrassing - any ideas how the administrator account can act that way then the guest account works perfectly?

  Hello Allen LaBrune,.

  If you are able to ping the websites from the command prompt, it means that your computer connectivity is fine.

• Cannot install Google earth. Error in the administrator account: "your system administrator set policies against the installation of this program.

  Original title: why not my Windows XP SP3 machine allows installation of any product from google?

  I am running Windows XP SP3 and what-so-ever did not want to upgrade to Vista or Win7.
  Now I try to install google earth, what is happening is the setup.exe for downloading google earth data, but will not perform the installation process.

  I get an error message saying that "the installation failed, try again."
  So I asked google if he could understand that out and they were no help, so I decided to use the administrator account on my computer to install it, what was interesting on this topic (and disturbing) was that after running the same setup.exe file, a different error came up saying that "your system administrator set policies against installing this program" (or something like that)
  now, I checked everything in "Political system" under administrative options, but still no help.
  Can someone help me please?

  Well, it seems that the program has been installed, it was not recognized as a program in one of the directories, I have just fallen on the directory with the program Google earth work. The directory was hidden in the ~ temp file deep inside the C:\ drive

• Cannot modify read only options for all my files

  Original title: properties of the file.

  All of my files have become "read only".  Even if I'm an admin I can't change that.  If I open the properties and uncheck the read-only box, it emerges, I click on apply and OK, but the file remains read-only.

  Hi David,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  From your description, it seems that you can not change the only option of reading to all your files in the computer.

  I'll be happy to help you. This problem can be caused if the files are corrupt and comes into conflict with other programs.

  I would be grateful if you could answer the following questions:

  1 have you ever done any recent hardware or software on your computer changes?

  2. have you created the file read-only?

  I suggest to follow the steps below and we update on the State of the question.

  To view or to remove the read-only or the attributes of system files in Windows Vista

  a. click Start, click run, type cmd, and press enter.

  b. to display the syntax for the Attrib command, type attrib /? at the command prompt.

  To remove the read-only attribute and to set the system attribute, use the following command:

  attrib - r + s drive:------------

  For example, to remove the read-only attribute and set the attribute to system for the C:\Test folder, use the following command:

  attrib - r + s c:\test

  Be aware that some programs may not operate correctly with folders for which the read-only attribute and the system attribute are granted. Therefore, use the following command to remove these attributes:

  attrib - r s by car:------------

  For example, to remove both the read-only and the attributes to system for the C:\Test folder, use the following command:

  attrib - r-s c:\test

  If the run command is not listed in the Start menu, follow these steps:

  Click Start, click principally made programs, Accessories, and then click run.

• The standard account users are able to access the files of in the administrator account.

  Original title: help with the Standard of Windows 7 user account

  I'm completely lost as to how I can possibly set it up on my computer. Here's the scenario, we don't have that one computer that all we share.

  I use my computer for the working documents and other important files that I do not want others to have access to, my only siblings uses the computer to access the internet to check their emails, games, regular and other navigation.
  I created an administrator account for me and a single standard user account to allow them their use, but not be able to make changes or install things without my consent. But the problem is that they are, log on with a standard user, they still manage to access the file on my "my documents" of the administrator account.
  As I check, they were able to do by accessing the C:\ drive > users > My Name here > my documents.
  I tried it myself using the standard account and I was able to make the changes/remove files store on my files of administrator account without even receive a warning or be asked an admin password.
  Is it possible for me to avoid this? How can I prevent someone using a standard account to access files on my administrator account? Or better yet, can you please provide steps on how to do a standard user cannot account not able to access to the "Users" folder in the C:\ drive?
  Is it also possible to have the only able to access their personal files user account?
  Any help is appreciated.

  Here are the key to your problem:

  B. users (HomePC\Users) - check (Allow) "Read & Execute", "List folder and content," finally "to read"...
  You must add your account name and give him full access, then remove the marks of graduation for "users".
  Unwanted permissions have been applied probably because you activated the group home environment and shared your own folders. There is a network issue, not a safety issue. I know little about this feature of Windows 7 and recommend that you ask the networking experts for advice in this forum.

• Cannot get rid of the read-only file attribute

  I have a folder on my PC which is marked read-only.  The Setup program seems set up like that.  If I right click on the folder and go to 'Properties' there is a grey checkmark on "read only".  If I have it uncheck the box, and then click OK or apply then OK, it remains unalterable (the grey tick comes).  There is no hidden file in the folder.

  How can I fix it?

  Contrary to all logic of common sense, the 'Read only' attribute, as shown in the Properties screen has absolutely nothing to do with 'Read only' when it refers to a folder in Windows XP. In fact, it indicates that it is a custom folder.  A full explanation can be found here:

  "You can not view or change the read-only or the attributes of system files in Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7"
    <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326549 >

  You don't mention exactly what your "problem" is with this folder, so I can not develop too much more than that.

• Cannot cancel the read-only file attribute.

  I click to clear the read-only and then hit apply to apply it to the folder and all subfolders, and looks like he took command. I closed the window and then reopen it and the read-only attribute is again highlighted. I am the administrator of the computer and I tried to move the folder to another location.

  Read/write attributes are not applicable to files in Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7. That's why you can't change the way you do. If you try to take possession of the file, this is how:

• How to read and write attributes using the API?

  I'm trying attributes of access (read and write) of the following:

  SequenceFile

  Sequence

  The sequence steps

  When you look at the documentation of the API, TestStand, the following functions are available:

  PropertyObject

  Properties

  Attributes (read-only)

  HasAttributes (read-only)

  Methods

  DisplayAttributesDialog

  I tried to use the SetValString and GetValString commands using the reference of the attributes, but it does not seem that the data is stored in the file.

  I can't find the following information in the TestStand API:

  1. Where the attributes are stored in a property object?
  
  
  2. How can we access through the API?

  No advice and no information is appreciated!

  You must increment the number of changes to the file after that editing the sequence editor (or UI) won't refresh or mark the file, as amended. Use sequenceFile.AsPropertyObjectFile (). IncChangeCount().

  SequenceFile attributes are stored in the SequenceFile.Data, not the object of SequenceFile object. You can change them in the Advanced tab of the properties of the file sequence dialog box.

  Hope this helps,

• Load STL geometry cannot load read only file

  I use the geometry VI STL load to load a 3D model that I use in a scene.  A constant path pointing to the file is connected to the entrance of the template of the VI.  If the file is read-only, the VI does not load, but opens a file dialog box instead.  If the file is not read only, everything seems to work properly.  This is expected behavior?  I don't think not that just load the file must depend on whether or not it is read-only.  Is it possible to use a single reading file in this situation?

  Hi cbfsystems,

  You are right that this is not the expected behavior of this particular vi.  It is a known problem that is aware of our R & D department.  For your reference, the number associated with this question is #281409.

  We are sorry if there is any inconvenience for you.
