  Original title: My Windows 7 laptop is plugged in and not on a network. My lack of understanding of the work and networking groups made me make a mess in the implementation

  I implemented 'users' as I could and now I find that in large part is loaded on my computer and I didn't need to have to deal with two identities to myself.  Can I fix or would it not be better to reinstall Windows a user, a set of files on all and the guest account will be switched off.  In addition, even though my computer says that it is a working group, the only internet connection I have is the LAN.  Can someone put me directly.

This is a major threat. Paul

  Hi Paul,

  1. what anti-virus software do you use?

  2 you use the password while logging on to the user account?

  I suggest you of change the logon window and the shutdown preferences in Windows XP to resolve the problem.

  Setup configures Windows XP to use the friendly welcome logon screen and close buttons, if your computer is installed as a computer (a computer where a network domain has not been specified).

  This article describes how you can enable the classic logon screen used by Windows XP Server that resembles the following example:

  Log on to Windows

  User name: _______
  Password: __________

  To temporarily use the classic logon screen, press Ctrl + Alt + Delete twice on the Welcome logon screen.

  To configure Windows XP to use the classic logon and shutdown for each logon screens, follow these steps:

  a. click Startand then click Control Panel.
  b. double-click user accounts.
  c. click on change the way users log on or off the power.
  d. Click to uncheck the use the Welcome screen check box.

  Note: If you disable the Welcome logon screen, you also disable the fast user switching option.

  If you want users to press CTRL + ALT + DEL before the classic logon appears like a Windows XP-based computer that is joined to a domain, follow these steps:

  a. click Start, click run, type regedit in the Open box and then click OK.
  b. click the Winlogon subkey at the following registry location:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
  c. click change, click newand then click DWORD value.
  d. to change the name of the value, type DisableCADand press ENTER.
  e. keep the data value set to 0. The set of data values appear as 0x00000000 (0).

  Warning: Ask users to press CTRL + ALT + DEL before the classic logon screen appears.

  If you don't want that, then come back in a classic.

  Note: To do: Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly.

• Unable to access the user account

  I have an old computer, but it is always useful.  On startup, I get this message:

  "Windows cannot load the locally stored profile.  Possible causes of this error include insufficient security rights or a damaged local profile.  If the problem persists, contact your network administrator.

  DETAILS - an operation i/o initiated by the registry failed irreparably.  The registry could not read, write or flush, one of the files that it contains the image of the registry system. »

  What can I do to access my account and My Documents with all my stuff in it?

  Thank you very much!

  Try to find that the problem with the user account is probably not worth the time it would take. Restart the computer in Safe Mode. When you are prompted, choose to log in to the administrator account. Go to control panel > user accounts. Create a new account here. Name anything at random for now. Now navigate to my computer > C drive open > Documents and Settings folder. Your old user account. Now locate all records containing your files. Copy and paste them in the folder appropriate for the new account. Now delete the old account.  You can now change the name of the new account name you had in the old account. It is probably the best way to fix it.

• Prevent deletion of administrator user accounts

  Hello

  My name is Muhammad Hasan Ahmed and I use Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2. I need assistance to manage the user accounts on my desktop computer. I submitted my request to a representative of Microsoft Live Chat, but she did not have enough technical information on the subject to be able to help me in this matter.

  Here's the question:

  I have 2 Administrator accounts on my computer. First story is mine, and the second account (called HOME) is for users. I use an account is protected by password. HOME account doesn't have a password. I want to keep the account of the HOUSE to delete user accounts, either this is a limited account or an administrator account. HOSPITALITY account requires administrator rights so it can't be limited account. Is there another way to do this without changing the type of limited user account?

• Need to change the name of the administrator under the folder of the user account

  I just got a new HP laptop with Windows Vista 64 SP1. My friend who got the laptop I use a nickname that I hate it when he set up the computer for which it was not supposed to do in the first place. I went to the section control panel user accounts control and changed the name of the administrator account. I have only the administrator account on my computer with the guest account. That part worked.

  My problem is that, under C:/Users / (username), it still shows that hated nickname. I want to change the name of this folder, but cannot understand how or if it's possible. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance

  As you have discovered, you cannot change a user account by simply changing the name. That will be a change cosmetic only and none of the files/folders real profile will be changed. Follow the instructions below to fix things to your liking and to implement correctly under Vista user accounts.

  1. create the new user account (named as desired) as a * standard * (not administrator) account and at least one additional account with administrative privileges. Call the extra account 'CompAdmin', 'Tech' or similar.

  2. Enter the new user account once if the profile files are created, and then disconnect and then connect to CompAdmin.

  3. go in Control Panel > system > advanced > user profile > settings

  4. you will see where you can copy user accounts. Copy the misnamed old account to the new name correctly there. Use her browse to select your new account (C:\Users\newaccount). If you don't want to copy all the settings, and then instead simply navigate using the old user, music Explorer Windows Documents, etc. and copy the data to the new user folders.

  5. connect to your new correctly named user account. When you are sure to have what you need, you can delete the misnamed control panel user account > accounts to users if you wish.

  General information about configuring users in Vista:

  You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all the other modern operating systems, Vista is an OS multi-user with system built-in accounts such as administrator, by default, all users and guest. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

  In particular, you do not want one account user with administrative privileges on Vista 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 will take third-party tools and work outside the operating system.

  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. If your normal user account is an administrator, having 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).

• Logging on to the user account

  I tried to connect to my computer at home today however, he did not accept my password.  I don't have I changed password so I'm not sure why this problem occurred.  There is only one account on the computer, so I don't know how to log on to the computer at all.

  The error msg I get is the following:

  The user profile Service service has no logon.
  User profile cannot be loaded.

  This error can usually be fixed by following the steps below. All this requires a certain level of computer skills. You know better and that take the machine to a competent local computer tech (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad place) is the best solution for you.

  1 log on to a different user account with administrative privileges. If you neglected to make an account additional administrative steps 2-3. Otherwise, continue to step 4. See also General information on setting up user accounts in Vista at the end of this post.

  2 in Mode safe boot. This, by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. That you will get to the menu on the right where you can use your arrow key to select Mode safe [Enter]. The built-in Administrator account is disabled by default in Vista. However, if no other administrative accounts exist on the system it can be activated. If this is the case, you will see an icon for the administrator on the homescreen mode without failure. Login to the administrator.

  3 If you don't see the icon for the administrator mode safe account, then the built-in Administrator account is always disabled so you will need to work more.

  a. If you have a Vista DVD installation (not a recovery DVDs), you can start the system with it. Select the default language, then select "repair your computer". Then select "Command Prompt". At the command prompt, type:

  NET user administrator / Active: Yes [Enter]

  If you do not have a Vista installation DVD, you can do a repair file Vista bootable DVD in this link:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  Note: All the Neosmart recovery disk downloads are torrent files. There is a good explanation of the torrent on the site Web of Neosmart files. You will need a torrent as muTorrent client to get the files. Torrent client will download the .iso file with which to create the bootable DVD.

  Now remove the rescue CD/DVD, you have done, reboot Windows and log on to the built-in Administrator account, you enabled.

  4. try a system restore to when things worked. If you can log in to your user account, you are finished. Otherwise, continue to step 5.

  5. the critical files are under % systemdrive%\users\user-account\ntuser. The ntuser.dat file is actually a registry hive. Run Regedit high and select HKEY_USERS and "load hive" in the menu. Now, go to:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

  There is a line for each profile. If a profile is bad, check:

  (a) that the name of the key does not stop in ".bak" (remove .bak If it)
  (b) that the RefCount value is 0 (change it if it is different)
  (c) that the State value is 0 (change if different)

  Make the necessary changes, close Regedit and try to connect as this user.

  6. If that doesn't solve your profile, it is corrupt. At this point you can either make a new user account and copy your data on it or simply make a new user account and delete the old a corrupt. Do not delete the old account until you have recovered data you need! Post back if you need help by creating a new user account and copy of data to it.

• Not able to connect to the user account, error: user profile Service has no logon

  I'm on a HP Pavilion dv7 with Windows 7.  I created a user account for my wife but she cannot open a session because of the messages "the user profile Service has no logon.  User profile cannot be loaded. »

  Where and how can I fix it?

  Thank you.

  Original title: need help with setting up an account

  Hi Larry,
  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  From your description, it seems that you are not able to connect to the user account when you try to connect you get following error. The user profile Service has no logon

  This behavior can occur if the user profile was deleted manually using the command prompt or by using Windows Explorer. A profile that is manually deleted does not remove the security identifier (SID) of the list of profiles in the registry.

  If the SID is present, Windows will try to load the profile using the profile Image path that points to a nonexistent path. Therefore, the profile cannot be loaded.

  To resolve the problem with the user account, you can follow these steps:
  Method 1:
  (a) click Start, type regedit in the start search box, and then press ENTER.
  (b) search for, and then expand the following registry subkey:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

  (c) right click the SID that you want to remove, and then click on remove.
  (d) log on to the computer and create a new profile.
  You can also check this link:
  Error message when you log a computer Windows Vista-based or Windows 7 by using a temporary profile: "the user profile Service has no logon. Unable to load the user profile.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/947215

  Note: We strongly advise against making it the standard way to remove the user profiles on computers. Documented and supported approach is using the system advanced settings in the system, "Profiles" settings properties For programs, it is available using the API 'delete profile '.

  If the SID is present, Windows will try to load the profile using the profile Image path that points to a nonexistent path. Therefore, the profile cannot be loaded.
