• Standard user account with no parameters

  I met only two computers that were unable to keep the settings. The first had problems displaying a particular site for a long time, and I was unable to discover the cause until I loaded another program that requires a record of the settings. This particular Web page requires some changes to internet security options, so I realized that internet options have been returning to default every single reboot. Because I know that internet options are saved in the registry, I began to seriously consider a new installation of Windows. Before doing so, I logged into the administrator account, only to find out that she had no problems taking these parameters. I changed the user account (which had been established for the type of standard user) to an account administrator, and not only he keep the new settings, he also recalled all previous configurations, I did. When a second computer has begun to do that, I tried this fix immediately, and it worked.

  So, my question is this: is this behavior of design? I mean, I understand why access to the register would not be allowed in a standard user account, but if the system cannot change the registry on behalf of this user, and standard user accounts are practically unusable. I mean, I couldn't even standard user accounts to fit on a home page, not to mention several advanced settings. I also manage a XP machine that has a standard user account. (so far), which had none of these questions. If it's not designed behavior, is there a solution?

  Wow! What a ridiculously condescending response. Thank you for that. I guess I should be used to this treatment of Microsoft; It's the kind of your norm.

  Srimadhwa response was not condescending - it was simply a standardized response obviously resulting from Srimadhwa not fully read your initial post. From my experience, you get much better results politely point out surveillance instead of lashing out with a heavy dose of sarcasm. After all that it is a service that MS provides for free. Things would be a little different if you've agreed to pay for the advice.

• RA media server became administrator after changing my standard user account

  What is the password?

  RA media server became administrator after changing my standard user account. Now, I can not retrieve my admin rights because he kept asking admin password that I don't know. System Restore didn't help coz' it was not far enough for the moment I changed my standard user account.

  I called Dell, but I don't want to pay the support service which costs more than a hundred dollars.

  I need some help on how I could get my admin rights back again.

  I have no copy of the installers for some of my important software which is why I'm afraid to reinstall the program, or even do a system recovery.

  I use a 32-bit vista. The only solution I can think of is to get "system user", but I don't know how.

  Please I need help.

• Standard user account & installation problem (Win7)

  Hello

  Unfortunately, I came across a problem which I think is due to administrative privleges, or lack thereof.

  Currently I am able to connect and print to my printer a HP Officejet 6600, but I am unable to use the scan function.

  On the printer after selection "Scan" and then "computer" it displays "No registered computer" and on my laptop after start-> all programs-> HP-> HP Officejet 6600-> HP Scan I get the error message "HP Officejet 6600." not found

  I ran the "HP print and scan" utility of diagnosis and he told me that I needed to install the software package full of features to use the scan function.

  My problem is the standard user account that I can't install the software.

  I am however able to solve this problem in the administrator account. Can I install the full package of features or even using the Installation Wizard of the software to install & to add/install a new printer (wireless).

  So, here's my question:
  Does anyone know what local security policy or group policy I have to modify to allow users Standard fix this in their account?

  I tried this solution and it doesn't work:

  Is Q: there anyway to give some sort of administrative rights with regard to the installation of printers on standard user accounts?

  A: your only choices are the two that I mentioned above.  Disable the standard/UAC user account or run as administrator installation files.  If those who do not work, then check with MS to see what you need to do to get these working wrapper running as it should.

  Q: but to my knowledge, this command deletes all the benefits of the daily duties with a standard account of operation?

  R: you got it.  This is the world of the Administration Windows for you.

  Q: How can I get a standard user account to perform the installation from the CD from HP?

  A: same as mentioned above.

  To my knowledge, anytthing would also require a 3rd party application to serve as a local application broker.  The broker assented request to install and can be configured to evevate some applications/processes to run as administrator by providing credentials of the administrator to the BONE.  For example, we are currently investigating a product called Power Broker to accomplish this task for us on the Win 8 + OS.

  Theres no doubt, the accounts of users of STDS are a pain in the thigh for admins.  Everyone needs to find a way to manage the rights that they give to their users.  HP cannot help you until find you the part of MS. user rights

• Demote a standard user account when the account was promoted to admin using a program named pclogin now

  My son used pc connect now on upgade its standard user account to administrator now when I try to downgrade, it does nothing. I can't remove it or even when I try to put this in command prompt net user 'account' / del it says not found user account. How can I remove or demote

  I was in an administrator account. When I did the brute force we were always there when I restarted the computer.

  "Brute force" involves a little more by using an administrator account. Assuming that you want to delete the folder "C:\Users\Harry, you can do the following:

  1. Reboot the computer.
  2. Logging in as an administrator account.
  3. Click the start planet.
  4. Type cmd.exe in the search box.
  5. Press Ctrl + Shift + Enter
  6. Click on "Run as Administrator".
  7. Type the following commands and press ENTER after each:
     takeown /f "c:\Users\Harry" / r
     Cacls /g /T "C:\Users\Harry."
     ("are answer Yes when asked you sure?")
     RD /s /q "C:\Users\Harry."

• The admin user doesn't have access to the Standard user account files

  OK, I'm lost.  It's crazy.

  After reading the reasons to do most of your work on/as a Standard user, I created a user account (quite a while) and have been using it since--and perhaps the way I did have this problem.

  If I remember correctly, this is how I did it.  I had a LOT of files under my old ID admin, so I created another Admin account and then replaced by former Admin account is a Standard user account.  I have been connected and makes every slot the user account Standard since then, with Windows poping a request my Admin password whenever he needed.

  Today, I needed to change a tax return of 2013 - and when I reloaded TurboTax last year and needed to get the State program, TurboTax wouldn't, claiming that I need to be logged in as an Admin user (I have not the popup asking my Admin password).

  OK, here's the problem.  When I have users to switch to my Admin account, after the passage, almost all the icons on my desktop disappear AND there are only a couple of files in my files of Documents Libraries\Documents\My.

  Everything to go.  I thought as an Admin user, I had access to everything.  How can I get all this stuff back (the icons on the desktop for example and other user account files, etc.)

  When I was logged in as an Admin user, it seemed that I could share files with other Useers - so I thought, Aha, that's how it works.  So I logged on my Standard user account - but the ability to share my files, etc. did not exist, at least as far as I can tell (that is, cannot find this option anywhere).

  If all goes well there is something simple that miss me that things work so that as an Admin user, I have access to other user accounts where - it is supposed to work, isn't.

  Obviously need help.  Thank you.  Ron in round rock

  In fact, I have nothing - as stated in the above comment, I could see all my files and folders User\ron

  -> This either means that the folder is already shared, or that UAC (User Account Control) is disabled on your PC. This isn't a good idea because it exposes your computer at serious risk.

  I can edit, delete, running back, I can't (or maybe since I am the only user on this machine, I should leave him alone).  Just curious as to what I did exactly.

  -> If you have shared with read/write access, you can create/edit/delete the files.

  And finally, as an Admin user, I have only 4 icons in the taskbar (IE, Chrome, Windows Media Player and Windows Explorer) - that doesn't sound right.

  -> You'll get exactly icons you placed here while it is logged on as admin user.

  And really Finally, with regard to the disappearance of all the icons on my desktop when logged in as Admin user.

  Each user has his own profile. Inside the profile, there is the user's desktop. Desktop shortcuts that are visible while connected as user A are not visible when you are logged on as user B because each user has his own office!

  There is one exception: most applications require at installation time if their shortcuts must be visible by all users. If you answer 'Yes', then the shortcuts will go into this common folder: C:\Users\Public\Desktop.

• Cannot add blank screen Standard user accounts

  Hello.  I recently added a Standard user in Vista Business.  When I logged in this account, he said it was "Preparing Desktop" for a few minutes then indicates that she has been put in place personal settings in Microsoft Windows Mail 7 and produces an error message saying "Windows mail could not be started because MSOE." DLL cannot be initialized. "Note that I don't even use Windows Mail.  I clicked ok and it sat for a few minutes and then gave me a blank screen.  Now if I connect to this user account, it just goes straight to a white screen.  If I change the rights of a Director, it works fine.  Back to a standard user, and I get a blank screen.  I hit CTRL + ALT + DELETE to the blank screen and run explorer.exe but that does nothing.  I started in safe mode and it does not work.  I ran make System File Checker (SFC) and it found no errors.  I restored back a few weeks, but that has not helped.  This can be a problem for a long time that I have never tried to add another user before.  I have the same problem if I turn on the guest as a standard user account.  Admin account all the works and any standard account does not work.  I searched the forums and cannot find a solution for this problem.

  I'd appreciate really a few ideas on how to solve this problem.

  Hello

  I suggest you try the following steps to refine the question:

  Step 1: Disable security software, follow the steps mentioned below

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software

  Important: Activate security software once everything is done.

  Step 2: Check with another standard user profile

  If you do not have a different user account, you will need to create a (see link below).  If everything works fine with a different user profile, you can infer that the user profile is damaged, click on the link to find out how to solve this problem.

• Standard user account cannot access the programs installed by administrators account

  I have a new Windows 7 computer. I installed various programs using the Administrators account, and then I created a Standard user account. When I login as a user standard I can't see all installed programs. Some are, some are not aware that I have nothing differently when I installed each program. I deleted the first standard user account and created a new standard user but still don't see not all installed programs.

  Thank you

  Claire

  When you have installed programs, perhaps you have chosen to install just for the first user. In all cases, you can put shortcuts to programs in the Menus to start other users.

  Right click on the "All programs" button from the Start Menu and choose 'Open' to get user-specific Start Menu folder. Choose "Open All Users" to download the file of the start - the system-wide Menu.

  %Appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu folder or user-specific and
  C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu for all users.

  Then just copy the shortcut icons, as you wish.

  By the way, I always install programs from the Standard user account, providing the password/OK to the UAC prompt. Even if of course you want an administrative user established (and always run as standard for your daily work), almost never, you need to log on to the administrative account.

• Cannot return the 'Guest' to the standard user account Type

  I changed our Type of customer account to the administrator, so a family member could download some things when I was unavailable to repeatedly type a password for it.  Now, I would like to change the Type of account to standard - but I can't.

  When I connect like me, an administrator, and then click on manage other user accounts, the only changes I offer myself for the guest account are image change or disable the account.  When I log on as a guest and click on change the Type of account, I select the Standard button, click on change the account Type, and should not be.  I went back to the screen back and comments is still a Director.  What is happening with this limitation?

  Thank you

  Rosela

  Just disable the guest account.

  And will NEVER again allow him. It is a security risk because it allows anonymous access on your computer. Even worse, if you changed it administrator. (Why on EARTH made you that I have NO idea). This is why it is disabled by default.

  If you wish to allow someone occasional access to your machine to create a Standard user account and call it 'visitor' or something similar. You don't need administrator privileges to upload files...

• How to access the administrator account disabled on standard user account?

  I recently disbaled my account admin by this step

  Control Panel > administrative tools > computer management > local users and groups > users > admin account > properties > check an account is disabled

  Now, I want access to my admin account

  I tried to access it from the login screen by clicking CTRL + ALT + DELETE but his does not work and also tried to start a cmd as administrator of the standard user account, but his is not accessible. Now I can able to access standard user only, now please tell me how to access my admin account to standard user account that I created.

  What you were doing was equivalent to throw out your safe master key. Not a good idea. Here's how you can recover from this error:

  1. Set your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
  2. Start the computer with your Windows 7 repair CD.
  3. Press a key when prompted to boot from the DVD.
  4. Select 'PC Repair' in the menu.
  5. Select 'Repair' when prompted.
  6. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
  7. Configure Windows to a point before you disabled the admin account.
  8. Instead of disable your own and only the account admin, you now need to create, test, and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare emergency House key. This will save you a lot of trouble.

• How to run a program as an administrator on a standard user account without be prompted for the password

  I have this software that doesn't work correctly than if you run it as administrator.  When you run it as administrator on the standard user account, it asks you the password.  How you turn off the prompt for password for that one software only? Or how you also run a software Administrator without being prompted to enter a password?

  Thanks for your help.

  Matt,

  Since you don't have a Vista Home Premium, I found another article that describes a way to get around it to make a registry change.

  The following Web site:
  http://www.eCoustics.com/PCW/HOWTO/140134

  Vista Home Premium is not the Group Policy Editor. To make the changes in this version, you must change the registry. Before making any changes to the registry, back it up following the instructions in "block Cookies for spying, but keep the most useful" (scroll down to the area of blue text at the bottom of the page).

  With your backup of the registry in place, click Start, type regedit and press ENTER. In the tree on the left pane, navigate to Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. With the icon system selected in the left pane, double-click on ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin in the right pane. Change the data value to 0, then click on OK. You should see the effect immediately (no restart required).

  Not sure if this will help, but thought that I have it send your way.

  Thank you

• Problems in standard user accounts user access control

  Equipped with Vista. Accounts of users within the standard, I can not install any new software. When you are prompted by user account control, my admin password, enter the password and get a response saying the account name or password are incorrect. The password allows me to connect and install the software on the admin account, but why now is no longer get in a standard user account. ?   Any ideas?

  Hello

  Step 1:

  You can try disabling the UAC on the standard account to see if the software will be installed.

  Enable or disable the User Account Control

  Note: Enable UAC, once the problem is resolved.

  Check and make sure that the standard account you are allowed to install.

  Step 2:

  If the problem persists, then you can create a new user account and then try to install the software.
