Create a user account specific for the base game.

I would like to be able to create a user account to install a basic version of a game that has expansion packs installed on a different user account. is this possible?

It will not work as it is, as it will be installed to the same file location.  However, it can work if you create another folder to install sub in the user account.

Example: C:/program files/games/game

make a folder of the game - 2

C:/program files/games/game-2

so you want to now the-2 is the second.

I can't recipient that it will work, as all games are different *.

  • Set up a user profile specifically for the game

    Hi all

    I installed Windows 7 (64-bit) and use it mainly for work (Excel, SPSS, Word). I also have many programs start automatically with Windows and run as background processes. What I want to do is create a profile user who loads only minimum programs and services required to play video games. Currently I have to manually complete the applications and services, which is a pain in the thigh. How can I configure a user profile specifically for games?

    TYIA,

    Hi Mark,

    You can create a new user profile, but you will need to put your computer in a clean boot for the new user account only State to play games and to disable applications/services that are not used frequently.

    New user account will inherit all startup applications and services of the administrator account.

    To create a user account , follow the steps in the link

    There are no entries in the registry for a guest or a new standard user account.  The registry entries for the three accounts normal-quickly (2 x admin, 1 x level) seem to be appropriate.  Watch register computer/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

    ..., See references to the event viewer in the middle of page 4 and Windows Live we [at the bottom of page 2 more on page 3].

    I see not the logic of the any of those things, but if one of them do things long enough that you are trying to create new accounts that works, you will know how in the future until a proper solution is found.

    This is the useful part where this user has tested the solutions proposed in this thread linked above: -.

    This has proved to contain leads to a difficulty.  Have to admit, when I read everything the first time, several days, I did indeed find it confusing and even the parts that I "heard" (sorta) does not appear to be related to my symptoms.

    It turns out that the answer of JDMICHAL May 17, 2011 contained this:

    (1) C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows open live
    (2) this directory has two subdirectories with a single file of each. Go into each directory and apply the following:
    (a) make a right click on the file, open the properties.
    (b) click the Security tab.
    (c) it will issue a message: "to continue, you must be an administrative user with permission to view this object's security properties. Would continue you? ». Click on the button continue.
    (d) click on the Add button...
    (e) ' everyone' type in the box at the bottom of the dialog box. Click on "check names"; It should be emphasized the "everyone". Click OK.
    (f) ensure that the new "Everyone" entry "read" and "read & run" check under the column "allow".

    After doing this for two files, attempt to connect to the account. He must undergo.

    The procedure (bascially) worked... Although the different answers on my system differed slightly along the way (perhaps due to the slightly different versions of Win 7?, because I was already logged in as an administrator?).

    In any case, "Everyone" with the read and read/execute permissions adding to these two files seems to have done the trick:

  • I can't create a new user account (Windows 7): the user profile service service has no logon

    I tried to create a new user account, but I get the following error when I try to open a session with him:

    the user profile service service has no logon

    Until I leave than anything more I will add that I activated the hidden administrator account and this is the account I use to create a new standard user account.

    Most of the patches for this issue are due to the fact that delete manually a user account does not remove the registry key that are associated, and you are required to go to the next section of the registry:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS NT\CURRENTVERSION\PROFILELIST

    and delete the key associated with the user account to be deleted.

    This fix IS NOT help, because whenever I try to create a new user, Windows doesn't bother creating a registry key to the new user.  The new user account appears in the account management window.  If I right click ondesktop and select Properties, then the settings , select the Advanced tab and click settingsunder USER PROFILES, the new account appears not here no more.

    It is a huge problem.  I have other people who use this laptop and I don't want to use my login information, or the guest account.  I'm not editing the registry just to make a new account.

    Please tell me there is a fix for this that works.  Windows 7 was not free, and this kind of problem is very frustrating for the premium software.

    Thanks - this is the only tip that help me to find the solution to this problem.

    Two files in the folder C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live could not be copied without administrator privileges.  This caused the connection in the attempt fail for all newly created user accounts.  The files are:

    C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live\Bici\Bici1_00.sqm

    and

    C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live\SqmApi\SqmData720896_00.sqm

    I've added the read permission for all users in these two files and retried the logon.  The opening of session proceeded set up initial user and filled perfectly.  Probably, this problem started when I installed Windows Live Messenger which is the only Windows Live application, I installed.

    Other important in your message board was to check the event log which stressed the two files which could not copy.  Otherwise provided in WARNING messages immediately preceded files event log error message indicates that the profile service could not connect.

    Let me soce entry details:

    1. all computers need to have at least one administrator account. It will not work without it.
    It does NOT, however, create a profile For YOU defaultAdmin. It belongs to the user or the owner to create and decide who is Admin, and who is a regular user.
    2. even an admin account will not get to install and change the settings automatically. UAC (user account control) always appears to ask for confirmation of the task by clicking on continue, or by typing the admin password.
    3 be the main user is not to be an administrator. It is up to the user/owner of the computer to be configured as such.
    That said, now my question... How do you know that you're not an admin?

  • How can I remove guest account configured for the administrator?

    I tried to add a second user account on my computer and I blew it. My main user account is now defined as a standard account and no matter how many times I click the button to set it as an administrator account that he will not save these settings. The guest account (which I want to delete) is defined as an administrator account and it wont let me save it as a standard account, because there is no other administrator accounts. Even when I try to create a new account just to see what he would do he tells me that he cannot accept some of the characters that I use for the name of the account, even if it's just 5 letters, so I can't even create the new account.

    I have no idea what's going on with my user settings, but I want to just that everything back to how it was before... with a single main account configured for the administrator.

    Can someone help me?

    I bet that your administrator account is an admin account and your guest account is a regular account. Buttons that you look at don't tell you the State of the special consideration, but the change that you can apply. In other words, looking at the administrator account, the 'Administrator' button is highlighted not because it's already an admin account!

    Now you should do this, in the following order:
    1. Create a CD to repair Windows via Control Panel / backup and restore. People like you who make their own PC maintenance need.
    2. Test the CD.
    3. Create, test, and document an admin account to spare, even you have a spare House key.
    4. Disable the guest account.
