Had a corrupted user account. Now what I do to the old account?

I figured that my user account has been altered, so I created a new one with administrator rights and it works fine, but I don't know what I should do about the old account, since it still does not work properly, I should remove it completely or restore settings to perform correctly? I'm a fool to the computer and always come to this site for advice, this is how I discovered to verify the account of user in the first place, I thank you for your answers!

If you want to keep the data associated with the old account, you can use the procedure in

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/fix-a-corrupted-user-profile

to copy all your data to the new account.

Note that you must set up three accounts to do this. An administrator account to make the copy, the old account and the new account.

If you want to continue to use the original account name, you need to do this two times. The second time after deleting the original corrupted account, create a new account with the same name and only copies the data back to it.

If there is that nothing about the account corrupted you want to keep, you can simply delete it. There is also an option when you delete an account to keep the data in a folder on your desktop that you can then arrange yourself.

  • Have Wdws XP using Outlook Express. Recently had work on computer. All of a sudden all the old emails deleted coming on Inbox. (Over 2500) Back in early 2010. Electronic mail stops. What is the problem?

    I have Wdws XP and using outlook Express.

    Work done recently on my computer, and now all the old emails that I had deleted in early 2010 are coming into my Inbox, (over 2500). I guess it is the overload that stops at the email, so I can't receive new messages.

    Thases e-mails had been permanently deleted, supposedly. From which they come, and how can I fix it?

    You had a frame that says "leave a copy of messages on the server. There is another setting that says "remove when deleting server ', but it was not selected.

    Outlook Express knows the messages that he has already recovered, but this information is a lost if you, for example, recreate your e-mail account. Then all messages go down again if they were left on the server.

    If the extraction has ceased, it might be because...

    one) you forced by cancellation or may be disconnected from the internet (in which case there are more to come), or

    (b) he finished, in which case old emails cannot be retrieved again (unless you are replicating what just happened), all mail must be picked up

    To avoid what is happening in the future...

    (a) according to the State of the parameters mentioned above, you may need to delete messages via webmail, and/or

    (b) to change the settings

    To change the settings...

    • Click on tools
    • Click on accounts...
    • Click on the Mail tab
    • Highlight (click) your e-mail account and then click on the properties button
    • Click the Advanced tab

    3 background settings are what control the things...

    "Leave a copy of messages on the server.

    "Remove from server after x days.

    "Remove the server after deleting in" deleted items "

    Adjust them as see fit you.

  • What is this file, the "old data Firefox?

    After the most recent update (dudes, what happened to the usual explanation of which resulted in the update?) I noticed this file on my desk, "Old data for Firefox." Is where all my Add-ons went? My presets? And so on?

    Is there a reason to keep this file, and if so what could I be able to use him?

    Thank you very much
    BAB

    You recently updated Firefox? Which will cause the folder "Old Firefox data" appears on the desktop. The "old firefox data" is basically old data of Firefox, as its name suggests. You don't need, but you can use as a return to the top if you wish, although it is highly unlikely that you need or like it. Check out this thread for more details. This issue is not related to the update of firefox.

    Have a great day!

    This is a silly question, but I'm not too tech savvy.  I don't know I have changed something somewhere.  I have the new Apple TV, and he had the new user interface, which means that the appearance of the applications using the applications, example, scroll down to Netflix, Netflix, etc. to research.  This weekend he returned to the UI I've seen on my old Apple TV. Does anyone know why this could have happened and how I me the new interface to return?  I did a reset to the original values Apple TV and it did not work.  The tvOS is 9.1 (13U85).

  • User account now points to a different user account files

    Several users have in our household have accounts on a laptop.  One of the accounts mysteriously began to point to a different user account files.  All other user accounts seem to work normally.

    UAC is not running on the machine.  The user account with the problem and that to which it points now have administrator privileges.  Windows Update is active.  The 2 latest updates prior to the issuance have been updated to Windows defender.

    How to restore this user account to the way it was?

    Hey Super,

    It is possible that the location of each of the user data folder are changed to the other user account.

    First check if the user account folders do not exist in the C:\drive\users and then continue with the steps below.

    You will need to each user account folder redirected to its original location and check if it works.

    1 right click on the folder that you want to restore to its original location, and then click Properties.
    2. click on the location tab, click restore default, and then click OK.

    You will need to do this for each individual user account folder that points to the other user account folders.
    Redirect a folder to a new location
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/redirect-a-folder-to-a-new-location

    If the previous step fails while the user account may be damaged, you will need to check if the problem persists in a new user account and later to fix a corrupted user account.

  • How to solve a problem with my user account in Windows 7

    I recently downloaded several drivers for Windows XP and I installed one or more of these factors so that I could transfer to a USB key to install on an XP laptop. I think that this may have damaged my user accounts. When I click on the images and music files, has more listed files. In addition, a second HARD drive installed on my Windows 7 CPU is no longer accessible after that I tried to fix. 2nd HARD drive was accessible in Windows Explorer, but my music application (iTunes) could not read the music library file (content in 1 disk HARD music folder) or he could access the music files and media.

    After doing some research on this forum, I've decided that I have can I have inadvertently installed a trogan horse or a virus who disguised himself as a windows driver. I was downloading several drivers for an old laptop which comes, I reinstalled Windows XP and some I THINK drivers came from unofficial or Microsoft Web sites. I found under the credentials manager that a new profile has been created the day this problem is product called "virtualapp/didlogical" I'm obviously very concerned by this and not be able to access my music and photo files in my user profile. I can access the files (music, photos) if I do a search, but they are more related to my user account (i.e. the folder to see the music and pictures empty).
    Here's what I did: 1) I have done a full using Microsoft Security Essentials scan and the latest version of McAfee and no problems were detected, 2) I tried to change the permissions on the 2nd HARD drive and I don't even now to access the disk in Windows Explorer, 3) that I deleted the account virtualapp/didlogical in the credentials manager (4) I changed the password for my user account, which is default and administrator privileges.
    In my list of user account, there are 4 accounts or groups: authenticated users (I don't remember why it's here), SYSTEM ("'"), (MyUserName\Administrators) administrators, users (MyUserName\Users). I am running Windows 7 Home Premium SP1.
    (My questions are 1) what is the best way to correct the user account so that my music and photos are in the user accounts, files and 2) what happens if another remedy would be the community suggests to determine if I have a horse trogan or installed virus.
    Before you remove user or group accounts, or any other changes, I thought I'd see if anyone else has had this problem and what should I do if all the remedies have been used to solve problems.
    Any guidance or advice would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    Thanks for posting to the wealth of information you did. To answer your questions, I recommend a person as follows:

    (1) create a new user account, set up exactly as you wish. Then compare it to the existing and corrupt user account, the user account corrupted attachment according to the article: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.

    (2) for the removal of malicious software that is not catch an antivirus application, I recommend two malware scanners:

    Malwarebytes': http://www.softpedia.com/get/Antivirus/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware.shtml ;  and,

    SuperAntiSpyware: http://download.cnet.com/SuperAntiSpyware-Free-Edition/3000-8022_4-10523889.html (use the link Direct download only).

    Followed by two "second opinions" on the antivirus application (both are online scanners):

    ESET Online Scanner: http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ;  and,

    TrendMicro: http://housecall.trendmicro.com/us/ .

    Finally, if you think that there is participation of any browser that avast: http://download.cnet.com/Avast-Browser-Cleanup/3000-2144_4-75872295.html (only use the Direct download link).

    These may be "canned" responses, but are they the measures legitimate, I take a poster through. Post your results here and let me know how you fare.
