How can I change a Global user in XP to a local profile?

We close our old domain controller and I have a computer with a CAD user restricted on a Global profile system. I really don, t want to do a fresh install, because it is very expensive.

Is there a way to change an overall profile of a Local in XP user?
Thanks for your help

Hi Claeszum Vohrde,

Your question of Windows is more complex than what is generally answered in the Microsoft Answers forums as it relates to the evolution of a status of user profile in the field. It is better suited for the IT Pro TechNet public.

Please ask your question in the Forums Pro Windows XP IT for better assistance.

  • How can I change the way users log on or not with Windows 7 (Ctrl > Alt > Delete login)

    I want to press Ctrl > Alt > delete when I connect like in XP.  But I can't figure out how.  I have looked in Control Panel to user accounts, but there is no option like that for Windows 7.

    > Sorry, I have not put this in question.  Once you press Ctrl > Alt > delete, I want to have a window where you type your user name and password like XP.  So first, you press Ctrl > Alt > remove and then type your user name, then the password.  Thank you.

    Hello, welcome.

    Please go: start / typing netplwiz in search programs and files / right click and run as administrator / type the password if you are prompted / go Advanced tab upper / Secure logon / check users need to press Ctrl + Alt + Delete.

  • How can I change the name of the user folder on drive C in Microsoft Vista?

    Hello. My father bought me a laptop about a year ago and when he started, he was the administrator. I want to change it because it is mine. I went into the Panel and changed the administrator.

    When you start the laptop, when you try and you enter in you must click on the name and photo. That's my name.
    When you open start, my name is there on the right with its own content of contacts, desktop, documents, downloads, Favorites, links, music, images, games, videos and research.

    The problem is when I open my C drive and go to users, there is a folder with the name of my father and the public. If you open the name of my father, it contained contacts, desktop, documents, downloads, Favorites, links, music, images, games, videos and research.

    I tried to change it again via Control Panel and just try to rename the folder. None of those who worked.
    How can I change my name? Is it still possible?

    Thanks for your help.

    Your father apparently just rename her user account with your name. As you have discovered, you cannot change a user account by changing just the name. Simply by changing the name will do a cosmetic change only and does not affect the underlying files/folders in the profile. If it is important for you:

    1. from an administrator account, rename the account she had originally. Then create the new Standard * user account named in the way that you want and at least an additional administrator account. Call the last 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar.
    2 log in to the new Standard user account once if the profile of the files/folders are created and then connect to CompAdmin.
    3. now go to control panel > system > advanced > user profile > settings *.
    4. you will see where you can copy user accounts. Copy the old account to the new from there. Use her browse to select your new account (C:\Users\newaccount).
    5 log in to the new account correctly named and make sure all your stuff is here and it works as you want. When you are satisfied, you can log on and CompAdmin and remove the old account from the control panel > user accounts.

    * In the course of running as a user Standard is recommended for security reasons and will help protect your computer against infections. You don't want to run as administrator for your daily work. Keep CompAdmin for your administrative account and use it only for the elevation and emergency situations.

    * If you do not want to bother copying old misnamed account settings, you can skip this bit and simply copy your data to the new user account instead.

    If you want to access your account again, correctly named automatically, follow these steps:

    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). MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!
