  You can solve your problem as follows:

  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 changed things.

  There are two very important lessons to be learned from this event:

  • Running a machine with a single administrator account is short-sighted. Plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare emergency House key.
  • Many people think that regular backups on an external support is a waste of time. Only, they change their minds after that they undergo a major disaster.

• I created a Standard user on a Windows 7 computer and now I can't enable administrator

  I got a new Windows 7 Professional machine and it great, but I set up a Standard user and left as disabled administrator.

  Now I need to make some changes and I can't activate the administrator account.

  I read how to run as administrator command prompt and go through the procedure, but when I try to run as administrator command prompt, it pops up a window asking me to enter the administrator password, but there is no place to enter the password.

  I looked on the whole for a workaround and haven't seen anything yet that I can do.

  Anyone run into this and found a way around it?  This is the last time I created a Standard user if it is the result.

  I don't want to reinstall Windows 7 Pro and having to reinstall everything again.

• Cannot return the 'Guest' to the standard user account Type

  I changed our Type of customer account to the administrator, so a family member could download some things when I was unavailable to repeatedly type a password for it.  Now, I would like to change the Type of account to standard - but I can't.

  When I connect like me, an administrator, and then click on manage other user accounts, the only changes I offer myself for the guest account are image change or disable the account.  When I log on as a guest and click on change the Type of account, I select the Standard button, click on change the account Type, and should not be.  I went back to the screen back and comments is still a Director.  What is happening with this limitation?

  Thank you

  Rosela

  Just disable the guest account.

  And will NEVER again allow him. It is a security risk because it allows anonymous access on your computer. Even worse, if you changed it administrator. (Why on EARTH made you that I have NO idea). This is why it is disabled by default.

  If you wish to allow someone occasional access to your machine to create a Standard user account and call it 'visitor' or something similar. You don't need administrator privileges to upload files...

• 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

  Claire

  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.

  Last year, I bought my laptop and I tried to create a second user account but I placed it somehow this account as the Admin user. I don't remember the password and my file vault is of course.

  What password? You can change a password for the account, but if you do not know the FileVault password, you are in a bind. You need to call Apple directly if you their sent an emergency password when configuring the FV.

  For a user account:

• Cannot create a new user account, the user profile service service does not log and cannot install a program

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

  I have an administrative account which is the only account. I have problems with the installation of Autodesk Inventor so I need to create another user to see if I can solve the problem. But when I want to make a new user account and I get the following message: I can't create a new user account (Windows 7): the user profile service service has no logon.

  I haven't added new programs in a long time and I don't know when this question has been raised as I've had my laptop for 3 years and this is the first time I create another account than my original. I don't want to reset my computer manufactured settings.

  I also followed the http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/947215/en-us but I can't find any registry master in the list of profiles. In fact, I am the only user in there...

  It seems that my computer does not have a record in the system registry.

  In fact, the problem started when I tried to fix the "C:\windows\system32\config\systemprofile\desktop refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer.or on a network. Check to make sure that the disc is inserted correctly, or that you are connected to the Internet or your network, and then try again.

  The very initial problem started all this was when I was running from Autodesk Inventor, it gives me the following error: Mismatched Ole32.dll and Comcat.dll. And the support2.microsoft.com/kb/201364/en-us is to say that since I am under Win7, the solution is not applied. So I'm stuck. And the next move was trying to see if a new user profile may solve the problem.

  Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

  And if possible, please also suggest a "repair" method so I can get Win7 function correctly without reinstalling the whole machine. "" I use a laptop so I do not have installation media.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Thank you for your update on the issue.

  2. Click on manage another account. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  3. Click on create a new account.

  4. Type the name you want to assign to the user account, click an account type, and then click on create an account.

  To copy files to the new user profile

  After creating the profile, you can copy the files from the existing profile. You must have at least three user accounts on the computer to perform these operations, including the new account that you created.

  1. Log on as a user other than the new user that you created or the user that you want to copy the files.

  2. Open Documents by clicking on the button start , and then clicking Documents.

  3. Click on the Tools menu, and then click Folder Options.

     If you don't see the Tools menu, press ALT.

  4. Click the view tab, click hidden files and folders, clear the Hide protected operating system files check box, and then click OK.

  5. Find the C:\Users\Old_Username folder, where C is the drive that Windows is installed, and where ancien_nom_utilisateur represents the name of the profile you want to copy the files to.

  6. Select all the files and folders in this folder, except the following files:

     • Ntuser.dat

     • Ntuser.dat.log

     • Ntuser.ini

  7. Click the Edit menu and then click on copy.

     If you don't see the Edit menu, press ALT.

  8. Look for the C:\Users\New_Username folder, where C represents the drive Windows is installed, and New_Username is the name of the new user profile you created.

  9. Click the Edit menu and then click on paste.

     If you don't see the Edit menu, press ALT.

  10. Sign out and then sign back in as a new user.

      If you have messages in e-mail, such as Windows Mail, you must import your e-mail messages and addresses to the new user profile before you delete the old profile. If everything is working properly, you can delete the old profile.
