  Hello

  Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.

  I appreciate that you try to recover the data after the deletion of the user account in Windows Vista.

  Since you've already deleted the user account, you would not be able to recover the data.

  However, you can use any third party to the 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.

• How can I permamnetly delete the user account in Windows xp?

  How can I permamnetly delete the user account in Windows xp?

  1. 1

     Go to the control panel. There are several ways to do this, but the most common is to go to the Windows Start menu and click on "Control Panel" on the right side. Follow whatever it is more convenient for you.

     
  2. 2

     Click on "user accounts" in the window that appears. Or, you see the standard view (with lines of icons) or the display of the categories (which is explicit). Both have a shortcut to the user accounts Control Panel.

     
  3. 3

     If a control panel is not yet made, click the 'user accounts' Panel at the bottom of the window. If so, you can skip this step.

     
  4. 4

     Click the link you want to get rid of any user account.

     
  5. 5

     The next window will have a list of actions you can do for the user account, one of which will be "remove account". It is the action that you'll want to click on.

     
  6. 6

     The last window that you will see will ask you if you want to keep the soon-to-be-used user represents the files in a folder on your desktop. It's your choice here.

     
     • If you have already backed up all important data on this user account, you can safely click on 'delete files '.
     • If you do not, you must click "keep files".

• Administrator and user only: should I create a user account for myself or run as administrator?

  My laptop is my own, one machine, not networked to any other machine and I am the only user, mainly at home. Create a user account for myself or function as an administrator?  (Thanks for a MAC person unknown w/pc!)

  I suggest that you create another user account.  This can be very useful in case you forget or lose the administrative password.

• Select a type of user account (for example, standard user, restricted user, and other types) on computer XP pro?

  Hello.

  I have a question about how to select the type of user account for each user account.

  I read that if I type 'control userpasswords2' term, it will bring up a window of hidden user accounts.  In this window, select a name of the user account and click property, click on membership group and it will show all the type of account you can purchase (including the standard user, restricted user, the other who has many other types)

  Here is the link I read

  http://www.exnol.com/globally-control-and-change-all-users-passwords-in-Windows

  Let's say my computer is XP pro and it is in the home (not domain joined ) working group. Am I able to set these types of accounts to my user account using 'control userpasswords2' just as I explained above?

  I was wondering because I read in the microsoft help article or somewhere that it indicates that the computer must be on the field to be able to choose the type of account by using this process, I explained, and one account type you can choose where your computer is located in the Working Group's account admin or limited using the control panel then click on accounts of users... but other said it should not be on the field... I got confused.

  I would like to try it myself, but I don't have XP pro computer with me right now, I'd appreciate it really if someone could help me with the answer.

  Hi greenyy,

  If you are the administrator of the machine Windows XP Professional, you can use the command 'control userpasswords2' and access the list of user accounts and change the type of account.

  You need not necessarily be on a domain, however, it may not work for some types of user accounts on a working group.

  A test, you can try to change the type of account for user accounts & check if it works.

  Reference: To change the type of user account 

  Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

  I created a new user account for my wife by renaming the guest account.  By mistake I have chosen administrator for the account instead of the standard type so now I have two administrator accounts, hers and mine.  The process suggested to remove and rename his account in the control panel and user accounts cannot be selected.

  to resolve this issue, connect to your wife, go to control Panel\User accounts and family Safety\User, then click on "change your account type. Follow the prompts to change it to standard.

• Deleting a user account without losing files

  Some time before, when I started using Win 7, I was told to prevent people to access your computer, the best thing is to create another user account so that your administrator account has been left untouched and pure.  Now, I'm the only one to have access to my computer.
  Later, I upgraded to a disc SSD C, on which I put only my programs, etc.
  Then, for some reason that my old spirit can not remember now, I could only do something about the Admin account and I opted for the use of this. I copied some of my important files (lots of pictures - very large files).
  The SSD is now nearly full, and I realized it's because I duplicated these.
  Question: Do I really NEED to have done the thing in user account to protect me - I have Kaspersky Internet Security and sit behind a firewall router?
  And if I did, how I merge the two accounts so I only use the Admin account, without inadvertently deleting several files on the user account?
  Any notice received with gratitude.

  It is very good indeed to use a user separate daily use account and only log on to the administrator account if absolutely necessary.  Few people do it and Windows now has the means to protect even an admin user using this UAC confirmation to admin actions, but using another account is still a great way to maintain the security of your computer, so I recommend that you keep doing what you're doing.

  To join the files that are stored in the two accounts and get all in one combined place, just open the C:\Users folder, take all the duplicate files you put in the two accounts and move them to the account that you are using.

  The administrator account, as it is used in the case of "emergency" should essentially be empty and do not use any space.

• Why delete photos to get more disk space do not work?

  Why don't earn any disk space when I delete the 'Photos' photos and the album "recently deleted?

  Deleted photos are kept for a week by default. If you really want to get rid of them now, use the command empty the trash inside the Photos.

• I have an Air of MacBk 2010 & I get the mssg "system is out of memory of the application", so it is impossible to open the Mail, Safari, etc.. But sometimes I can't. I deleted photos or videos for free space; no luck. What should do?

  I get the message "your system has wearied of the memory of the Application." So I can not open Mail, Safari, or any application.  However, I can periodically, the first thing in the morning, after I Shut Down & power up, not after a reboot.  I deleted a lot of photos and videos to free up space, but not luck.  IPhotos, I get the mssg. "cannot import pictures because not enough free space on the volume containing the iPhoto library."     The problem might be related to: 1 overheating, 2 PureVPN although I installed about 5 months ago and it was very good; 3. the MB Air was diverted (I'm worried that PureVPN may have something to do with it).  Or is this a sign that I need to get a new laptop?  Thanks for any help you can offer!

  release disk space and short-term memory are two different things. If your computer is running more disk space, it will have a negative effect on your system.
