Hello

If your account's ADMINISTRATOR, you can go into user accounts and change the password for the account on the other.
And ADMINISTRATOR accounts have access to all the reader.

Control Panel - user accounts - manage another account

Start - computer or Windows Explorer and navigate to the C:\Users\That username

where C: is the drive where users are stored

I hope this helps.

  • 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.

  • I'm subscribed to iTunes game because I saw: "up to 100 000 songs and I 53 000 songs, why do I only have access to 19 000 songs with iTunes game."

    My computer is allowed and I left it on for the download for a week straight. Can anyone help?

    When I signed up initially with a limit of 25% of the current limit it took about a week to get 1/2 not quite my 21 000 titles. At that time, nothing seemed to be happening so I restarted and everything, but about 300 titles. Many of these 300 titles were old tears and were not enough high-quality instant messaging to mess with. I selected each of them and a iTunes again snatch with high throughput and possibly those who were also. So for approximately 21 000 titles took a little over 2 weeks, a few reboots and some massaging from the air.

    When Apple has increased the limit I joined my two catalogs (I am separated from popular music and jazz/big my group preferred the rest) not give me enough of 60,000 titles. Once again he propped up and synchronized to a large group... Rinse and repeat... Now I have everything synced but I'm now checking iTunes actually properly matched. Initially, I had a large enough number of tracks that IM fumbled on. In some cases own versions were subbed to not clean, sometimes it's the other way around. And then there were huge mistakes like 1/2 a 60s folk CD is put in correspondence with the hip hop. Not a happy surprise

  • Crashes Firefox attempts to access the windows user profiles (maybe)

    After several relocations and other attempts based on comments found in the various positions in the solutions, I'm still stuck here. Firefox installs and works ok with high permissions (run as administrator), but crashes frequently then run normally. In normal mode it still crashes when opening the 'options' dialog box on: page preferences and when you download a file. It sometimes crashes when browsing. No high mode installation happens to 90 percent and crashes, elevated installation works very well. An explanation would be that firefox doesn't have access to C:\users\ < profile >------... at the level he needs, but I was not able to find out why. IE seems to work very well, and I reset the default security settings in IE. The signing of the accident say nothing useful about the reason. I adjusted all the firewall and down the ladder. Everything worked until I got other problems requiring aggressive edits and now all but firefox works. Basic navigation in firefox is ok, and work the plugins like flash and acrobat. So I was stuck on this for about a week, limping and try things. I don't know if it's firefox specific or something systemic, but it would be good to know what is the problem, so I have an idea how to solve this problem. Any ideas would be really appreciated. Thank you.

    So my next move was to create a new user account. The new user has been able to use Firefox normally. Several other problems existed with the original, but not as bad as Firefox user account. In any case, with user created a new account and the old one deleted, it seems once again things are finally normal. My guess is that some elements in the account data has been deleted, by something or someone, and Firefox to access, but did not check the possibility he wasn't there.

  • As a plug-in?  I have problems with an editable IRS form.   It gives me "Access denied" and then opens the file as an editable file.  I was able to open the form in the library.

    As a plug-in?  I have problems with an editable IRS form.   It gives me "Access denied" and then opens the file as an editable file.  I was able to open the form in the library.

    I found a few other questions on this forum who have remained unanswered.   I found a site citing the problem for drive X - I use XI.

    Change to drive XI.   Perhaps the reader at the library had this as its default setting.

    1. In Adobe Reader, clear the check box enable the Mode protected at startup :

      • If you have a PDF open, right-click the document, and then click Page Display Preferences.
      • If you open Adobe Reader from the shortcut, click on Edit > Preferences.
    2. In the categories dialog box Preferences pane, click (enhanced) protection, and then clear the box enable the Mode protected at startup .
    3. Close and reopen Reader.

    I have no idea if that setting has been changed in my XI player since I used this version exactly one year ago.

  • Is there anyway to block browser multimedia hearing CC and first Pro CC? Our policy is that no student or teacher have access to the C drive. But with the CC of the hearing and first Pro CC, they can see the files on disc and access of C.

    I'm trying to block the multimedia browser of hearing CC and CC Pro management. I know that you can configure the workspace without him but you can add it back in at any time. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    There is no way to block the media browser, as the functions provided by which are very important... it is THE right way to navigate to the media and other goods to fill a project and its sequences. Anyone using the PrPro MUST have access to this Panel.

    A member of the staff may be able to offer some additional tips, but in general... which is not possible under PrPro and the program still works correctly.

  • Windows 7 error: "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You don't have appropriate permissions to access. »

    Hi I encounter an error message "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You don't have appropriate permissions to access. »

    The error message every time I click on administrative tools of the window (including the Control Panel, windows update, the Windows Explorer, etc.) but without impact on other programs I have.

    I rebooted in safe mode and discover that everything works fine (no error message will appear when you click on window management tools).

    I proceed to do a clean boot-> first disable all services of third parties (message yet to come), and then clear the components of the service windows (message yet to come)

    I tried to type "explorer.exe" in the start menu-> search field then click right highlight to run with administrative rights, then received another message of error "Server execution failed".

    I am the administrator account on this PC - and have full access.

    The error seems to have appeared on 11 August after Windows Update the following:

    Update of security for Microsoft Windows (KB2536276, 2556532 2559049, 2560656, 2563894, 2567680), and

    Update for Microsoft Windows KB2563227

    A security update for the Microsoft.net framework 4 client profile (verson 1)

    There is no installation of any software or updates outside the windows update.

    I also tried to restore the windows before August 10, 2011, but that did nothing.

    As the error prevents me to access any object Admin window - I'm unable to retrieve the product ID and write to Microsoft Tech and ask for help.

    I hope some of you can offer the suggestion of possible solutions (I really want to re - install window 7 and other software, I'm sure).

    Thank you.

    My solution works in about 2 minutes, it's a very weird error and only happened to 3 jobs in the last 3 years, this solution does not need to create another account if local administrator is active and allows access to the corrupt user documents ect.

    Log in as the local administrator or a domain administrator

    If the local administrator is not activated refer to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555910 and after completing these newspapers of steps on the local administrator account.

    Locate the user for example files. C:\Users\[username]\

    If you see no AppData press Alt to see the toolbar at the top of the window, select Tools > folder options, go to the view tab and select "Show hidden files, folders and drives" click OK.

    Go to AppData\Local

    Select all (Ctrl + a).

    Delete

    * Do not delete credentials (as it will remove their wallpaper) *.

    This allows to release the error.

  • "You do not have permissions to access this folder" after copying the files on server 2012R2

    Recently, I've copied the 600GO files and folders using Robocopy from 2003 to 2012R2. No problem with the copy, but the properties of the root of the copied files showed a number of size and file incorrect directory to the same directory on Server 2003.

    Pursuit of the investigation, it seems that even if I am in a group of security on all files (with full control), I can't navigate some of them. When I select some files, I get a popup saying "you don't have permissions to access this folder." If I click on the "Continue" button, I also have access to the folder.

    When I check the permissions applied to the folder, it shows my group listed (with full control in the source files) and now added my user account security and given full control permissions.

    Anyone can shed light on what is happening here?

    To answer my own question, I just find some information about it and it is linked to the good old UAC.

  • Receives the following message after opening a downloaded game: 'Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

    Hello!
    So I'm at the end of my rope with this one... it lasts for months, and I keep revisitng every two weeks to try and fix that and every time to be completely frustrated.  I found this forum tonight, so here goes...

    We downloaded a few games on the HP Games Web site.  We download them and everything works fine.  Then, we will open the games and this pop up error message:
    "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file.  You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

    These games used to run fine, and I have no idea why they now have problems.  We have a Vista operating system, 1 account who is the administrator, the Parental control is disabled (or if we believe).

    If anyone can please help it would be much appreciated!  We have a monthly membership to this site of game and continue to accumulate credits, but may not use it.  It makes us crazy!

    Thank you in advance!

    Hello Heathie,

    Thank you for posting.  It seems that the program is no longer on your computer.  This can happen if the game files are deleted, but the game itself has not been uninstalled correctly.  I recommend you to download the game again to a location on your computer where you can easily find and install it.  This should fix the problem.

    Please let me know if this helps you.

  • Why some items in 'Open an existing project' have just the name of the project and others have access to the entire file path?

    I have SP1 2012 LabVIEW and on the main screne of LabVIEW selecrt "show projects".

    Why some elements of 'Existing Open' (project) have just the name of the project and others have access to the entire file path?

    Examples of two lines in the list of projects.

    Ping.lvproj (with a path: C:\Users\mlevine\Documents\MPCE EQT\EQT Software\Ping.lvproj)

    C:\Users\mlevine\Documents\Common package Mission trainer (CMPT) \SUW Surface Warfare\Weapon permission Panel (WAP) \WAP LabVIEW Software\WAP fire authorization server 28 April 2015

    No chance, it's because I made a copy of this software and stored on a network drive power off and it went out of this network drive?

    So if LabVIEW sees two or more versions of the same software, he decides to use the name to differentiate between full path?

    I'd still rather it shows just the name of the project and if you hover over the name it shows the full path.

    Thank you

    Mark

    If you have opened a project of the same name from a different location, it is when it shows the full path both - in this case showing just the name of the project would not help because it would be the same thing!
