How can a non administrator user to do certain privileged tasks
BS "D."
- Installation/update software. Example: upgrade Adobe Acrobat Reader.
- Start/stop services. Example: MySQL is configured to be a service that is started manually. The user must be able to start and stop it at will.
In Windows 7, you cannot grant special privileges to ordinary accounts. This applies to all flavors of Windows 7.
- Installation/update software. Example: upgrade Adobe Acrobat Reader.
AFAIR ordinary users are allowed to give the go-ahead for the Acrobat upgrades. - Start/stop services. Example: MySQL is configured to be a service that is started manually. The user must be able to start and stop it at will.
You will need to do so indirectly via a scheduled task. The task runs under the system account. It start or stop a service using a semaphore file that is created by the user verification.

How to launch AutoCAD Mechanical 2007 as a non-administrator user
We have installed a stand-alone copy of AutoCAD Mechanical 2007 on a PC running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit operating system. No, we can only launch the AutoCAD software as an administrator. Can someone tell me how we can launch the AutoCAD program as a profile of user not administrator created locally on the same PC?
Thank you!
Hello
1. what happens when you run the program in a non-administrator user account?
2. do you get an error message? If Yes, what is the full and exact error message?

How can I prevent standard users access records personnel administrator for example. photos and documents
Hello bh51,
Did you run your antivirus as well as any spyware removal? As davidhk requested, then you are able to turn sharing off the coast, but it just doesn't work? I suggest creating a new folder and move the data, and then see if other users are still able to view these.
Please let us know status.

How can I block the users access to microsoft office?
How can I block the users access to microsoft office?
You must set "" permission to run on each of the Microsoft Office programs (word.exe, excel.exe, powerpnt.exe, etc.) such that the group 'Administrators' and the SYSTEM is allowed to run. To do this, you do a right click on the .exe file, select 'Properties', then click on the 'Security' tab and change security as you wish.
If you do not have a 'Security' tab, then it is because you have XP Home Edition, or if you have XP Pro with active Simple file sharing. For XP Home, you must boot mode safe (repeatedly tap F8 at startup key) and login as an administrator to access this tab. For XP Pro, follow the instructions in the following article:
"How to disable the file sharing simple and how to set permissions on a shared folder in Windows XP"

T60 - Vista: How can I fix the user profile? Is there a book explaining the steps?
T60 - Vista: How can I fix the user profile?
On startup, I get the message "the user profile service has no logon. User profile cannot be loaded. »
To the boot, safe mode, I get the message "your user profile was not loaded correctly. You have been logged on with the default profile. Check the event log or contact your administrator.
Since I don't have an administrator:
- How can I get to the event log?
- How can I fix the user profile?
- Maybe you can point me to a book that might guide me in the process. I'd rather learn to have to repair it by someone else.
Thank you for your response.
