Changed username and shows on the home page, but the old name appears at startup and list of files. ??

How can I change the name of the previous owner to mine (see above)?  I looked at the relevant answers and can not find one for me.

An easy solution is to create a new account and transfer your files. And when everything seems fine, you can delete the old account (perhaps in a week's time).

  • Question on showing ani flash on the home page, but not on other pages. Dynamic header?  PHP or Java?

    New to DW CS4 and I redo our clubs to hidefcam.net homepage. Create a template and have built my pages of it.  I would like to show the flash movie and the paragraph which is directly on the home page, but not on the rest of the site as it takes too much real estate.  Are there programs that I can do to make this happen?  My alternative is to lower the animation to the editable area, as seen in the hidefcam.net/test1/index.html

    Thank you

  • I was about to change username and typing of accident the "locked" button, how to unlock?

    I was about to change username and typing of accident the "locked" button, how to unlock?  Using Windows Vista.  Thank you

    Hello

    • What do you see on the screen?
    • It requires a username and password?

    To "unlock" a computer, you simply press your ctrl + alt + delete simultaneously and enter the password of the user account.

    If you are not able to enter a name (and a blank password), then press the power button on the computer.  If it does not close on its own, you may need to hold the power for 10 seconds or more.

    I set as my Facebook home page, but when I quit Firefox and return, it does not save my login (e-mail address) so I have to retype it each time. It did not used to be like that. When I go on Facebook using AOL it still works.

  • After you rename the computer, the backup of the file history still showing the old name of the computer to its destination.

    Original title: history of Falie Worng Destination path

    I changed my computer name [my computer setting and the name, display name, computer and computer Description all equal under the same name]. But when the history of files backing up my files, he insists on putting the OLD computer name in the backup destination path, for example:

    Backup_Drive\\Backup_Folder_A\UserID\Old_Computer_Name\Data...

    I tried selecting a new backup drive and reboot several times, but the history of files always comes back to the old name of the computer when you create the destination path.

    How can I fix?

    Similar to the response of Siva here, you will want to return to

    C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\FileHistory

    Now, if FileHistory was lit before, using the old username, there will be a configuration file and the Config1.xml and Config2.xml files will contain several tags using the old name of PC. Rather than wipe these files, open each file in Notepad and search for the name of your old PC and replace with the name of the new, do not forget to save.

    In addition, if you want to keep a backup that has already been created with the old name of PC, you'll need to find, rename the main folder ("old name PC") and in this folder, rename tags in the Web configuration files (as you did in the local configuration files).

    When I tried to delete my local config files, he would recreate using files of configuration of the backup, that were also incorrect, so I just manually renamed and mine works fine now under the new name of PC.

  • The following message appears in a box titled "Windows File Protection".

    The following message appears in a box titled "Windows File Protection" and says "files which are required for Windows to run properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions." To maintain system stability, Windows must restore the original versions of these files. Insert your Windows XP Professional CD2 now. "To my knowledge, there is no XP Professional CD2.  Can someone explain what is happening?

    Okay - if you see thing version not recognized once again, come back and we can see everything in fixing it.

    I think that your McAfee is what is messing things for you...  For some reason, he seems to think that some of the XP files are threats and quarantines (deletes effectively) them.

    If you see the new Windows File Protection message, then find the name of the file (s) that XP complains and substitute / them another way, so the next time that you see it, to do this:

    When you see a message like this:

    Windows file protection
    Files which are required for Windows to run properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions.  To maintain system stability, Windows must restore the original versions of these files.

    I hope that you are curious to know what is the file and when you know that, you can decide what to do about it.

    You must click Cancel, and then click Yes to keep the file, then you will have an event to watch which will tell you what the problem is the file.

    Search where you sign in to see what is the name of file system Viewer, then decide what to do.

    When in the Viewer system event log, click the "Source" column header to sort the events in alphabetical order by the name of the Source.  The events of "Windows File Protection" must be near the bottom of the list (because they begin with 'W').

    The event will look something like in this example:

    Event type: Information
    Event source: Windows File Protection
    Event category: no
    Event ID: 64005
    Date: 10/01/2011
    Time: 14:41:56
    Description:
    The protected system file taskmgr.exe had not been restored in its original, valid version because the Windows File Protection restoration process was cancelled by user interaction, user name is Jose.  The file version of the bad file is unknown.

    When you know what the file is, you can decide what to do about it.  There may have other copies of the files on your system or you can get the files from another source - anyone can download the file (s) you need for their SkyDrive and you can download and replace the files one at a time.  First you must understand what the file is that XP thinks he needs.

    A shortcut to the event viewer is to click on start, run and enter in the box:

    eventvwr.msc

    Click OK to launch the event viewer.

    Check your event observer system log and look for a proposed Windows file protection event.

    When in the Viewer system event log, click the "Source" column header to sort the events in alphabetical order by the name of the Source.  The events of "Windows File Protection" must be near the bottom of the list (because they begin with 'W').

    If you double-click on an event, it will open a window of properties with more information.  On the right are black up and down arrow keys to scroll through the open events. The third button that looks like two overlapping pages is used to copy the details of the event in your Windows Clipboard.

    When you find an interesting event that occurred at the time of your question, click on the third button at the top and arrows to copy the details and then you can paste the details (right click, paste or CTRL-V) the text in detail here for analysis.  Remove all personal information from your information after you paste If you are forced to do so.

  • Can I delete the old name of properties?

    In Adobe Captivate 8, I created a group. Then I went to properties and baptized. I made a change to the Group and thought that I deleted the old name of properties. However, when I try to give the same name to Captivate 8 properties says I can't. Where can I delete the old name of properties?

    Thank you

    I'm sorry, that Captivate memory can be very stubborn. For most of the names, even if the object with the name has been deleted, you can not reuse them. They are stored in memory "file."

    There are a few exceptions (such as shared action names), but groups is no exception. My solution: change one of the characters of a capital, or insert underscore. Almost the same name.

  • How to get back 1 day to correct the changes that I made for my home page? I have Windows Vista.

    I changed my home page to word windows by mistake. How to return to 05/06/2010?

    While restoring the system back to the last points in time, it does not affect the data (just the program and system files and settings)- so it will not help in this situation.

    You may have a previous version on your system (depending on your version of Vista):

    If you have Vista Business, Vista Ultimate or Vista Enterprise, you can be lucky.  They have so-called saves shadow copies, which are deleted or modified files that can be recovered in case changes/deletions made by mistake. http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-Vista/features/shadow-copy.aspx more information about how to use this feature to: http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/howdoi/?p=145.

    If you have Vista Basic or Premium of Vista, shadow copies is not available; However, there is an alternative that is free and the shadow copies feature called Shadow Explorer. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/recover-files-with-shadow-copies-on-any-version-of-windows-vista/.  Although it will not help you this time, it could very well save you in case this happens again.

    I don't know if it can be retrieved by the program that created it (but if he was crushed under a word document, then I fear that the original is lost, unless you can use snapshots as explained above).

    I'm sorry if this isn't what you wanted to hear, but it's the way Vista works a round trip time of data in the past are not a feature it offers (except as noted above).

    I hope that you have the right version of Vista and you can find the previous version.

    Good luck!
