delete, disable, remove the guest user account

Hello

I came across a lot of similar questions asked about deletion/deletion/disabling guest user account. the posted questions earlier and google has not provided me with answers specific questions.

first of all, I know now that the guest user account is a system file that should not be deleted.
1. Why is this?

I enabled/activated the account invited for a day and people with mobility reduced/turned off later. I asked before and got a response that I should not have allowed the first guest account.
2. Why is it?
3. What's the harm in having activated once the guest account?

the record of the guest user now appears in the c:\users\ location. It was not before but the fact now since that once I enabled guest account.
4. do one thing 'ok' or is it a bad thing?
5. What are the policies on the restoration of windows and system folders without having to reinstall the windows operating system?

and finally
6. in case the guest user account has been disabled/disabled, windows remove settings for it and wipe this account?

Thanks in advance, forward your answers.

Hello

A guest account allows people to have temporary access to your computer. People using the guest account cannot install software or hardware, change settings, or create a password.

Once the guest account is enabled, you will see the comments folder in the users folder and you will not be able to remove it. And when also disable you the folder of comments will be present, but it will not be enough space.

If the comments have saved any file on your computer, it will be present in the folder of comments, it won't cause damage to your other user accounts.

For more information, see the following Microsoft article and check if that helps.

  • Cannot remove the old user account (admin)

    I'm on a MacBook Pro 15 "the retina with OS X Yosemite 10.10.5.

    I have two admin accounts, an 'old' I do not use and a more current that I use.

    I want to delete the 'old' admin account, but I get an error message: "cannot delete user... account error backup in the home folder for this user."

    Here are the steps I followed:

    1. System Preferences-> users and groups

    2. click on unlock icon; authentication with username and password

    3. click on the 'old' user account and click on the button "-" to remove it.

    4. Select the option "save the home folder in a disk image", then click on remove the user

    5. for the moment, he says 'delete account '.

    6 then I get the error message.

    I know that I could choose the second option (in step 4), but I really want to move the old files of the user users users/Deleted.

    Any advice or ideas would be greatly appreciated

    The first thing that comes to mind is the following: is there enough room for the disc to be created image and put in files? The files are not moved from the reader to the disk image, they are copied. Then for a time in the account to be deleted files will be on the computer two times. The second thing that comes to mind is that there is a directory of the hard drive problem. If you do not have enough space and is my first problem, start the recovery partition and use the directory of disk to repair the drive. And the third thing that might be the cause of the problem is a bad file that cannot be copied to the disk image. It will be difficult to understand because basically, you will need to open each file to find the one that is perhaps incorrect.

  • Remove the "Guest" user integrated security group "domain guests.

    We are running Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard.  I accidentally added the "Guest" user built into the 'Domain' security group invited and what you should now remove it to return the settings to how they were before.  However, everytime I try, I get the message...

    'The primary group cannot be removed.  Define another main group if you want to remove this one.'

    I had put the integrated group of "Guests" (including users 'Guests' integrated is a also a member of) to the primary group, however, the ability to set a primary group is grayed out.

    I hope someone has an idea?

  • Cannot remove the XP user account

    This is a limited account that I need is no longer. I already deleted the password. Everything else works fine. I use a good antivirus and scan for viruses and spyware regularly. I'm the only user on the computer, so I don't know what could be the problem. I have no other problems at all. However, when I log on as an administrator and try to delete this unused account my computer just hangs. I get an error message "not responding". I get the same result if I choose "keep files" or delete files. I deleted the unused accounts of my computer before without problem. Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

    Try to remove the user from the register under the list of profiles using regedit.

  • How to remove the called user account?

    Original title: user accounts

    I recently had to reinstall win 7.  After I did, I realized that I had spelled his name wrong.  I created a new account and transferred his previous info to his new account.  Unfortunately, I got it back and now when I go to the login screen I have my account (Administrator) and "other users".  I tried to re create a new user account, but all attempts failed.  The accounts are in the system, but will not be displayed on the logon screen.  When I try to go through the other user, he asks a password, that there is none. What I did and how can I fix it?  In cmd, it shows the user account I newly created

    When you go to 'other users', you can type the user name and leave the password empty (if there really was none) and click Enter to connect.

    But to restore the screen so that it shows all the user to click icons, see this answer:

  • How to remove the guest on Macbook Air user account

    My 13 year daughter, uses the internet recklessly and I need to close the guest account, because my parental control does not seem to work. Even though I've taken away the guest user option in system preferences, it restarts the computer so that she can use safari. Can anyone help?

    Just how did you "took the guest user option in system preferences '?

    Did you go to system preferences > users and groups and click on the padlock at the bottom left and enter the admin password to allow edits then click the guest account and uncheck the checkbox allow clients to connect to this computer?

    Parental control is not / cannot apply to the guest account.

    You must have a separate account and then check the box for this account that says: turn on parental control.

  • How can I disable the guest user to close the PC while the Admin is connected?

    I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate. I found out how to disable the guest user closing at all via the local security policy, but then they can't stop even if the Admin account is offline.

    To clarify a bit, say I want to give my PC to someone, I usually click on change user and connect using the guest account. In this way, they can't access my account because it asks for a password. I want that in such a case, they should not be able to stop the PC as my admin account is always logged.

    However, if someone booted the PC themselves and use the guest account, then they should be able to close too, as my Admin account has not been connected.

    I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate. I discovered how to disable the guest user closing all through local security policy.

    It is the correct method. It is as robust as it is unconditional.

    If you want to have your cake and eat it the guest account must use a powerful "agent" to perform the functions of judgment. A scheduled task would be such an agent. It might work as follows:

    1. Create a scheduled task that runs Script1 to perform these tasks:
      -Check if the C:\Shutdown\Shutdown.txt file exists.
      -If not, the output of the script.
      -If this is the case, delete Shutdown.txt.
      -Check if there is an administrator session. If so, the output of the script.
      S ' there is no live administrator session, shut down the computer by using shutdown.exe.
      The task must run under an administrator account once every 3 minutes.
    2. Create a shortcut on the desktop for the Guest user calling Script2 for these tasks:
      -Check if there is an administrator session.
      -If this is the case, create a pop-up to inform the user that the machine cannot be stopped.
      -If it is not, create the C:\Shutdown\Shutdown.txt file. The scheduled task will 'see' this file and will stop the machine.

    Local login is not possible

  • How were you completely delete a / profile under vista user account?

    How were you completely delete a / profile under vista user account?

    I have a virus on a different user profile, and I just want to remove this profile.

    (ON VISTA)

    Hello

    How to remove a Vista user account - even if you do this, you should check as well
    for malware.
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/93026-user-account-delete.html

    Even if you do not see the virus on your other profiles, it might be in areas that will subsequently
    cause problems in the other profiles. It would be preferable to eliminate malware from the machine
    that can be done without using the profile infected from an ADMIN account.

    If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
    scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
    resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be harder to detect as
    the cause.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
    to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
    its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
    extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

    It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
    the regular windows when you can.

    TDSSKiller.exe. - Download the desktop - so go ahead and right-click on it - RUN AS ADMIN
    It will display all the infections in the report after you run - if it will not run changed the name of
