Deletion of old user not recognized by the computer accounts

The computer crashed, new hard drive, then restore the user accounts have been created with a different name.  The backup has brought in the old accounts with the files.  Copied the contents for new accounts.

However, the user accounts appear in the C: drive but are not operational, as the computer did not recognize them.  Can I just delete the records and which will work?  What I have to clean anything regarding accounts?

I want to just make sure I don't do something that is incorrect. There is no need to keep
Thank you

To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.
 
To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.

If this does not work, try to delete the files or folders by using one of the following free programs: killer file http://www.malwarebytes.org/fileassassin.php (with or without forcing the deletion: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/12/27/force-delete-cannot-delete-locked-or-in-used-files-or-folders-with-fileassassin/) or Unlocker: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml.  Sometimes, these programs work when other methods (especially standard methods of Vista) only.

Good luck and I hope this helps!

    I found that if it becomes necessary to use time machine to return to an earlier existence to reinstall the iphoto library, if for some reason, you lose lose, then when you try to synchronize your ipad is not recognized by the computer.  So when you try to synchronize the pictures, they are all removed from the ipad and trying to reinstall everything again.

    This may or may not work immediately.  In my case, only half the photos have been installed, and then the error message came that the rest of 9000 can be installed.

    I contacted Apple support team who has made various suggestions.  Subsequently clicking on a photo list in iTunes were all going again and pictures of 9000 then installed.  When I asked the support team what could happen I was told that it was a "glitch".  I don't like seeds they mean that there could be an error in coding somewhere.

  • pilot missing dvd/CD; drive even not recognized by the computer

    somehow, when I tried to burn a dvd, (windows DVD Creator) the computer seems to have removed its own driver for the dvd drive (I put the disc in, it recognized that it was not a disk supported, put a new one in the drive, and create dvd windows then told me that I need to install a dvd/cd writer to complete my project). the relase button disk would not work after turning in the second disc and always used to work even after that. If I use a pin code manually to open and put a disk in the light lights up recocnizing there is something in there, but that nothing, not even spin the disc. No cd, dvd or all other discs work. Ive tried a few different driver Fixer programs, even those you pay (mender driver, driver detective - no even to recognize the missing driver) and can't seem to find a solution. cd/DVD device does not even appear in "device system' list or lists of material which must show all devices, programs or drivers... also do not show my E: / in my computer, what would be my dvd/cd drive." I tried the "regedit" and could not find the 'filter filter up/down' you are supposed to remove to fix. " filter of upper/lower case is not listed in the options.

    I'm on a hp Pavilion dv6000 and ive tried searching on the site Web of hp and help all forums, with no solution until now...

    Hello

    For the CD/DVD problem start up that convenience store and work down to jump
    nothing. He is even said to continue if the CD/DVD drive is not displayed in Device Manager.
    You are much less likely to solve the problem by a hit or miss approach to try this
    or such. And of course, there may be a material cause.

    The HP forums, ask questions and I hope that those who have had
    the same issues on similar equipment that have solved the issue respond. Only way
    to succeed is to give your best effort.

    HP does not have a lot of online documentation and help diagnostics on their site and those
    could help to resolve some of the questions withour paying for support.

    Back up your data on the device and it goes back out of the box state
    can be one of the best moves to solve the present problems.

    I hope this helps.

    Have you loaded the proper drivers, firmware or software for the external drive and your version of Vista?  He can't just plug-and-play, especially if this isn't original USB key but a convert.

    Once it is recognized by the system (if it is compatible and once the drivers are installed), go to start / Control Panel / administrative tools / computer management / management of records and right click on the external drive that shows there or format to change the drive letter or a similar task.

  • My Photosmart HP 7510 is not recognized by the computer for printing.

    It was working fine, until what we replaced our router with a v3 TG797n I have reset the printer and reinstalled the software on the compters several times but it still won't print. During the new printer 'Add' processes on the computer will not find the printer, even using the intellectual property. The printers IP is coming as 10.0.0.34, all printing test through the printer directly arrived as work, connected to the corect network.

    When I look at the routers settings it says that he recognizes the device with IP 10.0.0.34, but I have computers (an XP desktop running at the time) and a HP Pavillion Dv6 with Win7 cannot always find and say it should be disabled.

    I downloaded and tried all the HP diagnostic tools, and they all tell me that my printer is not activated on/not connected and offer no alternative.

    I've had the printer for less than 6 months and already he had replaced with a new one because it was defective, and now it gives me a headache.

    In addition, we have updated the Office of Win8 and cannot install printer on that. I checked the lists on this site as to what printers are/are not taken in charge and I didn't know that the HP Photosmart 7510 nowhere mentioned at all.

    And as usual, after trying everything (it has been two weeks now to try different things) and then post online for support, trying one more time and it works like magic again.

    I downloaded the HP printer, troubleshooting thing once again (the third time) run the wizard and found the printer (the second time), downloaded the drivers rather than using the disc (for the second time, the first time that the installation has failed just a t at the end) and intsead to add the IP address of the printer in step "COnnect network printer", I looked at the user name for the device on my router (HPDDxxxx), and which came to the place.
