Delete user for unknown accounts profiles in XP Pro SP3

I've got profiles user for unknown accounts in XP Pro SP3.  In the past, I've deleted then recreated with the same account name administrator accounts.  I have observed that no active administrator accounts have the same size and modification date user account unknown profile.  Can I safely delete the profiles of unknown account or delete profiles delete profiles of active account?

Hello

The unknown user account can be a corrupt user profile. As there is no data to this account, it is safe to remove it from your administrator account.

To delete the user account, follow the steps from the link below:

  • DC 7900 SFF: Missing driver for DC 7900 SFF Windows XP pro SP3

    Hello

    I already read this post: http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/Business-PCs-Compaq-Elite-Pro/DC7900-SFF-Drivers-for-XP-Professional/td...

    But unfortunately it does not solve my problem with a driver missing on the relocation of a Windows XP Pro SP3 with the DC 7900 SFF.

    The missing pilot is linked to:

    PCI \VEN_8086&DEV_ 3 A 02 & SUBSYS_3034103C & REV_02

    Everything else seems fine.

    If someone could give me some information or links to the correct drivers, would be great

    (already tried most of the available drivers on the HP site for this model)

  • It is a group policy setting that allows Silverlight store data for a roaming profile user limited account?

    We have customers that use our Silverlight application. Application off because errors that the software is not able to store data about user roaming profile folder. So far, developers have a setting which allows the application to be listened to, but that makes it real slow. We try to get out of that. So my question is there a group policy setting they are system administrator can setup to allow Silverlight to store data for a roaming profile user limited account? Maybe allow data to be written locally only to the specific folder that requires Silverlight?

    Thank you!

  • Impossible to remove an unknown account, get the error 'cannot delete the unknown account because this object inherits permissions from its parent.

    I have several programs that when I go to security there is an unknown account and when I try to delete unknown account I get this message that you cannot delete the Unknown(S-1...) account because this object inherits from its parent perssions. To delete the Unknown(S-1...) account, you must prevent this object from inheriting permissions. Turn off the option for the inheritance of permissions and then try to delete the Unknown(S-1...) account again. I tried the edit and advance features in respect of security without success. Why have I not control over security permissions?

    Found a solution to this problem.

    Go to the folder parent of the folder that contains the files with this unknown account number:
    1. right click on the PARENT folder, and then click Properties.
    2. on the Security tab, go to the advanced options (bottom window)
    3. in the new window, click the button change the permissions in the bottom.
    4. Select the Group (NOT AUTHENTICATED, just of users USERS) users
    5. check "replace all permissions of child object with permissions inheritable of this object.
    6. click on the OK button or apply and done, fixed number.

    Hope this helps anyone else having this problem, for me it happened after reinstallation of win 7 on the same machine and keep my images on another partition, so it was spared by the new facility, so the old user account was always on the file permissions.

    How can I know which files are corrupted.

    Any other Suggestions on how to fix this user profile?  Do I have a profile that I don't know?

    Hi wimuggss,
     
    Step 1: Disable UAC (User Account Control) and check the result
    See How can I change the behavior of user account control by using the cursor?
    Note: You must restart your computer when you enable or disable UAC. Change levels of notification does not require that you restart your computer.
     
    Important: Enable UAC after you complete the steps.
     
    Step 2: If the problem persists, try to set the parental control in safe mode and check the result. If you are able to apply settings in safe mode, this means that some program is causing this problem, mainly the security software.
    See Start your computer in safe mode

  • How can I restore my old account I deleted but for some reson removed all im on xp

    Hi mikemosquera,

    A deleted user account cannot be recovered.

    There is no Microsoft recovery tool to recover the lost data. However, you can use your favorite search engine to search for third-party data recovery software.

    Note: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

    Hope the helps of information.

  • A library fom a deleted user account still shows in my Windows Media Player "other libraries".

    I created a couple of local user accounts on my computer that I deleted later.  Even if the user accounts are no longer on my computer, their libraries still appear in Windows Media Player "Other libraries" on my system and for other people on my network. How can I get my computer to stop sharing of libraries that do not exist?

    In fact, I don't want one of my libraries in ANY of my user accounts appears on the computers of other network users.  How do I stop sharing libraries?

    Open services.msc and find the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service. If you stop and disable the service, that the libraries should no longer appear on other computers.

    But if you had a deleted user who always showed upward, you will have to dig into the registry to fix. I had the same problem with a deleted user and only just found out how to remove it.
    First you must find the SID of the user removed before removing all the elements in the registry.
    Look in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList. There are sub keys that represent the SIDS of the users of the system. When click on each sub-cles see you on the right side ProfileImagePath that can help determine who the user is.
    Once you have the SID go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\PREFERENCES\HME (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\PREFERENCES\HME if you use 32 bit 8 Win). Here will be locked by using the same SID you found under the ProfileList key. Delete the main folder that relates to the SID, you want to remove. To remove the SID folder, you may need to take ownership of the folder SID key.
    Then go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Media Player NSS\3.0\Media servers. Here will be another folder related to SID that you remove. After the two keys were removed, restart the Windows Media Player network sharing service.

  • Passwords: I wanted to know if I could get the passwords for e-mail, facebook, etc for other users on my account?

    I wanted to know if I could get the passwords for e-mail, facebook, etc for other users on my account?  Please let me know.  Thank you.

    It's in the privacy of having the username and password of someone, but it is advisable to monitor the activity of your child on the internet. In Windows Vista, you have the parental control feature in Control Panel (it's available in some editions). I suggest to go Control Panel and user account and chose to activate and follow your child's account. For Parental control in Windows Vista, take a look on:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-Vista/features/parental-controls.aspx

    There is also another product of Windows Live, which calls the family safety, to use the mother and the child would need live account. You could learn more about it in view:

    http://download.live.com/Familysafety

    By these tools, you can monitor your child safety with respection of privacy. It is not a good practice to get the password of your children. Also, you should give it a safety advises on internet. I think it would be a good website to use resources for your daughter:

  • restore deleted user accounts in vista sp2

    My girls open a session on the account in windows vista sp2 has been removed and is now being restored. is this possible? After you run defrag x times?

    You COULD retrieve some data from it

    When you delete an account, you have the ability to save files then.

    Read the post on the link above by MVP Malke.

  • I have an unknown account and an unknown contact. How can I go to find out who they belong to?

    I have an unknown account and an unknown contact. How can I go to find out who they belong to?

    Original title: unknown account

    You can use the ProfileList registry to identify the SIDS of the users.

    To access the registry, go to a command to run.
    Press the Windows and R. Then type: regedit.

    1. go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

    2. under the ProfileList key, you will see the SID. By selecting each individually, you can look at the entry and see what user name is associated with this particular SID. It will be in the right pane.

    Note: The SID to a combination of profiles is reserved for the profiles on the local computer based. If a user is referring to a 'server' extension .usr or .man profile in the User Manager for domains that they will not be in this area of the registry to associate the username in SID.

    If the account is not used, you can delete the registry. Don't forget to back up the registry before making any changes, as they will be permanent.

    Let us know if that helps.

  • When I reset Firefox it deleted my e-mail account Outlook on my iMac

    When I reset Firefox it deleted my e-mail account Outlook on my iMac computer. He also moved my AccountEdge accounting file in the data file of old Firefox on my desktop as well as all backups. It is also Microsoft user data files, and some Word documents in this file. I hope you can help because I don't know how to put these files back where they belong.

    Back up and restore the information contained in the profiles of Firefox , it would help for files associated with Firefox.
