Folders default user account all empty - why?

I'm puzzled. When Dell first set up my cell phone two years ago, they forced me to implement a user administrator account ("Charles"). This seems to have become corrupted in a few days, so it was removed and a second account username created in its place ("Charles2"). This moment holds all my Documents, Favorites, and so on. However, there is also a set of folders in the users folder called "Default user" but these (AppData, desktop etc.) are all empty. In my opinion, as the only user and administrator of the laptop, I do not see why I already needed to put in place a user account ("Charles2") in the first place that surely the 'Default' user folders should contain all my Documents and so forth? Can't I move the content from the Charles2 folder to the default folder and just delete entire records Charles2 tree? Or which will cause massive problems?

I'd say you of let alone default user account and continue to use Charlss2 because everything works fine as things are now, and there is no reason to change.  I don't know what would happen if you moved everyting in the default user account - it could cause problems either immediately, or down the road.  If you really want to still try to do so, after back and I'll give you the procedures but I highly recommend.  Things are working fine now - it is unnecessary to make unnecessary changes that could be risky.  Because the records are all empty, it does not take a lot of space so this isn't a review.  Being the "Default User" is no more rights you have - you can do almost anything with your current account, you may be able to do with this account (although this account as 'default' account may actually have some restrictions on this subject which do not apply to your account of ccurrent)

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

  • CS6 inDesign crashing on the opening, works on the different user account, help?

    Hello!

    I use InDesign everyday, had my Macbook since September and have had no problems with the opening of the program at all until about 2 weeks ago. It appears with the graphics of opening with all the license information, and 5 seconds later, a window opens saying "InDesign quit unexpectedly", as well as loads of text on the threads, frames and the rest. (A copy of the text is available to InDesign Crash Info - Pastebin.com , in case where anyone can somehow choose something from that!)

    I tried to reset all my preferences and reinstall all of the CS6. I also had a problem with the fonts in the past, so I have deleted all my additional fonts and just now the default fonts library. The only way I could make it work is by setting up a different user account, and now it opens properly, but only when using this account. It's just a pain the * having to keep switching between user accounts all the time! I didn't know if there would be a quick solution to this, rather than having to transfer all my files, preferences etc. from one account to another and basically a new account from scratch.

    Any help would be great appreciated.

    Thank you

    According to the accident report, you must always update InDesign to the latest patch (8.0.2 for a perpetual license, 8.1 for the subscription).

    If that alone is not enough, delete or rename the files of two preference from your old account (see replace your preferences for where to find them) and copy the same folders on the new account.

    Migration Assistant that?

    The slowness is particularly noticeable when searching - in the Finder, Spotlight and especially by post. I tried to Spotlight stop indexing and then re - index, several times. The computer can get sluggish in many functions of Finder as well.

  • nothing works under my user account

    Dear Microsoft Answers

    I have a laptop Windows Vista Home Basic, I had last year, and it works fine. and then 2 weeks ago all the small problems begin to surface. and for the past 2 weeks, I tried to understand what was wrong with my computer. First, not 'IE, Google Chrome, Firefox' internet browsers allow radio stream; Secondly, I have been unable to sign in MSN Messenger, it keep giving me the error code 80070005. Thirdly, my Adobe Acrobat gives me error messeges that tells me the program must close; and fourth, everytime I open Internet Explorer, it ask me to put a default search engine... be frustrated by all the error messages, I contacted Windows Live Help Center and the assistance of the radio station, they could not understand what the problem was, so finally they sugguested connect Vista with a different user account so I tried with the guest account and everything works fine. but when I connect my personal user account, all the problems are back. I guess that means that my user account creates all the problems, I'm the only one using the computer, and my personal user account is also the administrator. can you help me to find the problem and I hope that to correct them?

    Thank you very much

    Your administrator user profile can are damaged.  To fix this use http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.  If that is the only available Administrator Profile (you need to be an administrator to fix this), enable the Hidden Administrator Account (HAA) using http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?&lang=en&cr=US&guid=&sloc=en-us&dg=microsoft.public.windows.vista.administration_accounts_passwords&p=1&tid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055&mid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055.  If you don't remember the password, try nothing because that's probably what you (or seller) did during the installation.  In addition to the replacement of an administrator account, you must create a second administrator account (in case of emergency like this one) and a standard user account for your daily activities (for security reasons).  Once that is done, don't forget to disable the HAA to save it in case it is necessary once again and for safety reasons (since people often try to hack into systems using this account).  Do NOT use the HAA as your administrator account because if you lose the only administrator on the system account or it is damaged again, then you're watered.

    Good luck and I hope this helps.

  • I can't get on my computer as an administrator. He asks me a password which has been never implemented. My winows user account has never been password protected. I am trying to transfer my files and photos

    My windows user account is not allowing me to log in. He asks a password that has never served on this user account. This account is the administrator and I am unable to exercise the functions of don't. I'm looking to reset the password for this user account. There is no other directors on this computer

    This is often caused by malware infection, then when you get home it would be wise to do a scan.

    http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

    You can change your password to something you remember (or use a white) another administrative user account. If you had only an administrative user account, all is not lost. You can then follow the general recommendations for implementing user accounts in Vista that I will give you at the end of this post.

    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.

    If you have an installation of Vista DVD (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 [press Enter]
    NET user [insert here the name of your user account] [insert the new password of user as 1234 here] [press Enter]

    [Note: do not enter the brackets!]

    Remove the installation DVD and restart the computer. Now, you will be able to connect to your user account by using the password that you set; for example, 1234.

    If you do not have a Vista installation DVD (only have a recovery disk), the computer mftr. may have given you the option to repair Vista (not a system recovery!) system in the diagnostic menu. This menu of diagnosis is the same one where you can choose Safe Mode. Get to this menu by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. If you do not have this option, you can make a bootable Vista file repair 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. You will need to use third-party burning software such as Nero, Roxio or the free ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com ) to burn the image .iso image file, not in the form of data.

    Once you have fixed things, log on to the additional administrative account you will be made by the suggestions below and disable the administrator account integrated yet for security reasons:

    Start Orb > Search box > type: cmd
    When cmd appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator" [OK]. Now, you will get the command prompt. At the command prompt, type:

    NET user administrator / active: No. [Enter]

    Exit the command prompt.

    General recommendations for creating 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 a multi-user system with integrated system of accounts as default Administrator and comments. 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 there may be more that you want to do. Better not to put you in a bad situation at first.

    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. As a user Standard is recommended for security reasons and will help protect your computer against infections. After you have 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).

  • The language bar shows when the user account control appears, supposed to be hidden.

    I've been looking for an answer to this one so vain if this question has already been answered please point me in the right direction. I chose to hide the language bar after a reinstall of windows 7, but whenever the user account control appears I see the language bar sitting there, mocking me. I don't see any option to close, only to hide. It does not show during normal activity, only when the user account control POPs asking if I want to allow a program to run. It's driving me crazy.

    Thanks in advance

    Old post I know but I cannot believe no one could help you guys, I recently noticed this was happening on my pc, have no idea why, but I guess it was something to do with installation/un-installing new software. In any case, here is the solution, because I don't think that these guys have a clue of what you're going on, of course, lol.

    Click on:

    Beginning
    Control Panel
    Clock, language and region
    Regional and Language Options
    Keyboards and languages
    Change keyboards...
    Language bar
    Hidden
    Ok

    Now return to the regional and language options and then click:

    Administrative
    Copy to reserved accounts

    * Type password *, click on:

    System accounts
    Ok
    Ok

    If for any reason any you do not see a password for copy to reserved accounts, and instead, option you have this pop up with checkboxes:

    Copy your regional and language settings to these accounts:

    Default user account (new users)
    System accounts (local system, local service, and network service)
    Just check the two of them and ok.

    There's no more annoying language on UAC bar more.

    I finally thought to it. They wore all the user names that came when I ran the command "control userpasswords2". As I said in my original post, user names in all the names of the Panel user control over all matching computers. The only conflict I've had was in the list of user names in the list found when I ran "control userpasswords2". I went to highlight the 'B' account after that I ran the command, you click Properties and changed his name to 'A'. This solved my access denied problem once and for all. Apparently he does not have all of the accounts in the control panel.

    All of a sudden, the user accounts on my computer is not necessary to enter a password to connect.  You can simply click the icon for a particular account and it load.  This includes administrator accounts.  I checked the user account control panel and it doesn/t display the saved passwords.  I have a fingerprint reader that works in conjunction with or instead of the password and who scans are always registered and working, but now are rendered advocated. What could have caused this?  I am on an HP dv6 - 1134ca Entertainment Notebook PC with Windows Vista Edition Home Premium with service pack 2.  I can and will implement the new passwords for the accounts, but I'm a little disturbed that this has happened at all and do not understand what could have caused it.  Everything has worked out very well and normal until today.  Thanks in advance for any help or suggestion.
