deletion of a guest account.

Ive tried to delete the user account, but it gos stright, to enable or disable account users. It does not give me the choice of deleting. I'm tring to remove a guest account. Guess I should clarify.

You can not delete comments. The guest account is a special system account, not one for when you feel hospital. For some reason, it is disabled by default in Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, Linux, Unix and OS X.

On TechNet:

"The guest account is intended for users who need temporary access to the system. However, if this account is activated, a security risk may exist because an unauthorized user could have anonymous access to the system through this account. »

http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb418978 (TechNet.10) .aspx

So if you have enabled comments, turn it off now and create a standard/Limited (Vista, Windows 7, XP Professional/XP Home) for your visitors. Call the new user account to something like "visitor".

User - recommended configuration (Vista and Win7) accounts

You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all other Windows 7, Vista, and modern operating systems are operating systems multi-user with integrated system of accounts as default Administrator and comments. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

In particular, you do not want account only one user with administrator privileges on Vista and Windows 7 because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult. It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but it may require more work you want to do. Better not to get into a bad situation at first.

The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. As a user Standard is recommended for security reasons and will help protect your computer against infections. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:

Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

  • Cannot change the guest account group

    Long story short.  The guest account is somehow in the Administrators group.

    I use Windows Vista Home.

    When I am logged into the guest account and I look under the name he said administrator.  I'm going to change the type of account, it shows that it is in the standard group.  It won't let me even change for the management group.  It is in the Administrators group or what?  READ MORE that it gets better.

    When I'm on the command line and I type net user comments he says that membership in the local Administrators group.  Now, here's what I don't understand.  I do net localgroup guests comments / add and it will add to the guests group, and it is then in the customers and group administrators.  I can then do net localgroup guests comments/delete and it deletes it.  Now I CANNOT net localgroup administrators/delete comments because he says that it is not within the group, BUT if I net localgroup administrators comments / add that also says that he cannot do it because it's already in the Group?  That continues.  A I royally mess up something or it's a certain type of problem?  Please help me.  Thank you

  • Transform a guest account password procted account

    I share my computer with my daughter.  I have authorized its use as a guest.  So whenever it connects, his account appears and is easily accessible by anyone.  I want to know how to change his account to one with his name and the password without loosing its data.  I tried to do, but the options revealed that all of his information would be deleted if I tried to change it to the new format.  So, how to accomplish this?

    A password can not be applied to the guest account. You will need to create a standard account for your daughter and then transfer all personal records of the guest account to the new account

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows-Vista/create-a-user-account

    After the creation of the user account and the connection for the first time, please transfer the files of comments to the new account that you created

    Click Start, then open 'Work', then open the "C" drive, then open the folder "Users".

    You can now see the name of the customer account, your account name and new name for standard account for your daughter

    Open the folder account comments

    Now you can see Documents, photos, music, file downloads

    Simply move the files from there to the new user account that you created for your daughter using the copy/paste method

    I hope that the information above helps. If anything or not is not clear or if you have additional questions, please do not forget to let us know

  • My support is not the guest account. just blue

    My guest account does not load.

    I use Windows Vista Home Premium. I have two accounts set up, my
    Account administrator and a guest account. The works of administrator account
    very well, but whenever I try to load the guest account, it takes me to a
    White, blue screen. I tried waiting for two hours, and when I came back
    She was still a Virgin. I can open the Manager task on this blank screen help
    CTRL + ALT + DELETE and it shows there are only four running processes:

    Csrss.exe
    DWM.exe
    Taskmgr.exe
    Winlogon.exe

    I tried to run explorer.exe from the Manager of tasks but to no avail:
    the screen remains blank and explorer.exe never showed up on the process
    list. Also, when I try to run a process in the Task Manager, him "Browse."
    the button does not work (I can press it, but it does nothing).

    Anyone know what is happening?

    To check, go to start / Control Panel / user accounts / manage another account and check if a guest account is listed.  If so, double-click on it and see if you can turn on it (if it is already, just go ahead).  If it can't no lights then it may be not available in your version of Vista.  If so, set the parameters as you see fit, and then save the job by clicking OK.  Then try again to connect to the guest account.

    Here is an article on how to activate the account invited in Vista that basically says the same thing: http://www.lytebyte.com/2008/03/22/how-to-turn-on-or-off-and-manage-guest-account-in-vista/.

    See the following article http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Turn-the-guest-account-on-or-off.  Note it is said that these steps are not applicable to the booted Vista, Vista Basic or Vista Home Preumium.  It is not possible to activate the guest account in these versions of Vista (at least the functions of the guest account).  This probably applies to your situation.

    The guest account user profile may be corrupted.  To fix this use http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.

    I hope this helps.
