Disable an account in Vista

Hello

I created a user account for my child, but she can not access iTunes and some other applications of his account.  I think I want to deactivate his account and let her use mine.  Is there a way to disable an account on Vista without deleting?  I have a user account and an account admin for myself.

Is there a better way to accomplish what I want to do?

Thank you

Hello

Just change the password of the account and she can't use it.

If in doubt of using the methods below first make a Restore Point.
 
Or use these methods: method 1 is onlly for Ultimate versions, company or business. All Vista
versions can use method 2.

  • Disable the UAC in VISTA window

    Hello

    How to disable UAC in Windows Vista using LabVIEW Control window?

    I did this VI (see attached). This VI works, if I have manually disabled the UAC window (regedit: "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System - EnableLUA = 0 [DWORD]) of the control panel or regedit.

    If I run my VI on a computer that has ON UAC, I can't open the registry key. Although, if I manually go to regedit and
    change the variable windows EnableLUA to zero and restart the computer.
    Then, I'll be able to control this LabVIEW registry key.

    Is
    It's kind around to disable UAC only with LabVIEW. This means,
    is it possible to change the EnableLUA variable Windows when I
    previously, I have UAC running?

    Thank you

    Hi JPLO,

    If you run your VI as long as limited or in admin approval mode user, I expect not to be able to disable admin approval mode. Try right-clicking on the LabVIEW icon in the Start Menu and select "run as Administrator" and then run your VI.

  • Microsoft Security Essentials disables Windows Defender in Vista?

    Can error 0x800106ba on any attempt to open code I Defender. I also acquired McAfee at some point, but I uninstalled it hundreds of years ago but I still have the same error message whenever I try to open Windows Defender. Help, please

    It is not fair to McAfee posing problem with the Defender:

    Windows Defender:

    If you have Microsoft Security Essentials, AVG, McAfee, Norton, etc. installed, they have a conflict with Windows Defender, or turn it off.

    Microsoft Security Essentials has its own integrated version of the defender and should automatically disable the version of Vista in Windows Defender.

    If it's not:

    Turn Windows Defender on or off the information on the link above of Microsoft.

    Hope the above explains the common compatibility issues with Windows Defender and other security programs.

    See you soon.

    Mick Murphy - Microsoft partner

    Hello, just to be sure I have the correct information, Windows Defender lights not in Windows Vista with Microsoft Security Essentials, as Essentials has its own version of the Defender.  The error code I received is the same as the previous posts in which is: 0x800106ba.  Again, just to be sure, I understand, I should stop trying to turn Defender because Security Essentials has covered it, okay?

    Hello

    Yes; Microsoft Security Essentials should disable Windows Defender for the reasons you mentioned.

    If she didn't turn it off, you should manually have to do it anyway.

    This information explains Microsoft explained:

    Q: is - this installation of Microsoft Security Essentials (XP/Vista/7) disable Windows Defender?
    A:
    Microsoft Security Essentials should disable Windows Defender in Vista and Windows 7, and then uninstall it from XP. In some cases, this does not happen automatically.
     

    Q: what happens if I do not disable or uninstall Windows Defender, if I use Microsoft Security Essentials (XP/Vista/7)?
    A: If Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows Defender are both running, your system can know the performance degradation and other problems caused by the conflict of two services providing real-time protection at the same time.

  • How can know you if someone has consulted and used the default Administrator account in Vista?

    I was not aware that the default Administrator account is so easily accessible if there is no password on it. In my view, a standard user has accessed this and it seems that the computer is having a lot of problems now. Is there a way to tell? Needless to say I care that much personal info could acceded as well as commercial information.  Security, 3 administartors (users) appears in some of the boxes, and I only know 2 of them, myself and the default admin?  I'm a recruit of the computer and the other person is somewhat a geek so I could really use some help. I am the system administrator, but don't really know what to look for. I would really appreciate if some wiz could help me.

    Thank you

    Hello

    You can't find if someone has consulted and used the default Administrator account in Vista. You will need to set up a password so that no one will be able to access the admin account.

    How can I get around having to sign into my account (Windows Vista 7) during startup as I forgat my password?

    Hello Bob Zientak,.

    If a password is required to log on your system, then you won't be able to cirumvent it. Unfortunately the users of this forum are also not allowed to suggest ways to help you bypass (hack) the password (3668Microsoft Terms and Conditions).

    Remember passwords are case sensitive so maybe that you type a password in the case of bad? Did you create a password recovery disk when you created your password first? If Yes, then you must insert the password recovery disk to allow you to change the current password. If you did not create a password recovery disk then the next and more radical, opion is to re - install Windows.

    This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

  • How to set the TMP/TEMP variables on account limited Vista's GUI?

    I have Vista64 Home Premium SP2.
    I would like to change the TMP/TEMP variables for my limited account in Vista.

    It is easy to do for the system account or my admin account
    (under advanced system environment variables,).

    But if I want to do the same thing on my limited account, UAC is triggered
    and the admin account variables are exposed, rather than limited.

    I then tried runas/user 'control sysdm.cpl', experiment /noprofile profile/env
    but the result is the same.

    I know that this is possible by editing the registry,
    But first of all, I would like to know MS medium to do so.
