  • Satellite A505 - change standard user instead of administrator

    Hello

    I recently bought a Satellite A505-S6005. Windows 7 is already installed on the laptop.

    The problem I encounter is that I'm a standard user. I'm not the administrator. I would like to change that, so I'll be able to change or install programs.
    The problem came earlier, but the difference is that I don't have the windows 7 CD to start Setup again and choose administrator instead of the standard user.
    Thank you very much for your help!

    Hi ManiakRe,

    In my opinion it of not necessary to reinstall Windows. You can change user permissions in your control panel of the active administrator account set. Then you can use this account, but normally you shouldn't t use an account with permissions to administrator if you surf the Internet.

    Also take a look on Google. There are enough pages they describe how to change user permissions.

  • How to change the user name in windows 7 Professional?

    I recently installed windows 7 Professional and by chance I typed my user name and the computer when it prompted me to type it in. When I had typed the wrong characters in and click on 'Next', he wouldn't let me go back and change it, so I was stuck with an unwanted user/computer name. I managed to change the name of the computer for the word you want, but I didn't always know how to change my username.

    I went to user accounts, and there was an option to change the name of the account, so I did.
    However, none of my directories has changed its name, and all processes in the Task Manager were still running under the same previous user name, which I did not want it to be.

    Is there a way to change the username of an account so it affects all the directories, files, folders, etc. without creating a new account with that name? Or, if possible, copy all the files and preferences of the current account to another account with this name?

    Any help is appreciated.

    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.

    1. from an account with administrator privileges, go to control panel > user accounts and to create the new user account named Standard the way you want to and at least one 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.

    If you want to access your account again, it is corrected 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).

    General recommendations for the establishment of user accounts

    You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. Like XP, Vista and all the other modern operating systems, Windows 7 is an OS multi-user with integrated system of accounts such as administrator, by default, all users invited. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

    In particular, you do not want account only one user with administrative privileges on Windows 7 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 it will take third-party tools and work outside the operating system.

    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. 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 by following the instructions written in the first part of this post.

  • How to change the user interface of the entity object indicators / Validation msg when running?

    Hello

    I use JDeveloper with version 11.1.1.6.3. Given my requirment details below.

    Suppose I have a (say 'EMPLOYEE_RATING') table in DB with the following structure.

    Columns:

    1 EmployeeId (Employee Id)

    2 RatingType (values can be in Stock or Bonus)

    3 RatingLevel (values can be 1, 2, and 3)

    Constraint:

    EmployeeId, RatingType and RatingLevel all together must be unique.

    Requirement:

    The customer's requirement is to have two screens of rating (one for Bonus another stock) and display different user interface boards and validations as follows.

    1 RatingType is a hidden field, are defined with the default (Bonus or Stock) based on the screen that the user opens.

    1. for the Stock screen, RatingLevel label should be "Stock note.

    2. for the Bonus screen, the label should be 'Bonus Rating'.

    3. for validation, the message must be 'Bonus note level must be unique' or 'Level of Stock of notes must be unique' ADB on the user screen opens.

    Implementation:

    I have a def EO (for example "RatingEO") and VO (for example ' RatingVO') def. Tips UI (Label) are given at the level of the OS. Also the unique constraint validation is made to EO with the message ' {0} and {1} must be unique, where {0} is source.hints.EmployeeId.label "and {1} is source.hints.RatingLevel.label.  I also did the shuttle two different instances of the VO (EmployeeRatingBonusVO and EmployeeRatingStockVO) in the request form (although BonusTaskFlow and StockTaskFlow are set to open with the new transaction, Intension of the two shuttle different named instances is to have the common code in VO. impl class but can run different business logic code by checking the name of the instance of VO)

    Question:

    Since I have two different pages, I can define two different labels in the jsff, but I can't change the commit message defined at the level of object entity based on open display. At the opening of the screen, depending on the type of screen, I should be able to change the label specified at the level of the entity object. (It should not affect the definition but only the instance). As this entity object cannot be distinguished (if it belongs to Bonus or Stock), I have problem on how to change the indicators of UI during execution.

    Any help on this would be appreciated! Thank you.

    I tried your script.

    I created the secondary key with EmployId and rating level. I added validation of Unique key. In failure handling handling section of the validator, I gave the error message like: {0} must be unique. For token 0: I gave RatingType (here RatingType is the name of the attribute in OT).

    We give the default for RatingType as Stock Bonus in VO. kind RatingType get its value or Stock Bonus based on the original Version that we use.

    I hope this helps.

  • How to change your user name?

    Is the only way to completely close your profile and start a new?

    Yes. On this forum, you can only change the full name and not the username.
    To change the user name, you would have to contact and administrator, but maybe there's no one around at the moment.
    Otherwise, you will need to delete your account via your user profile page and create a new account with the desired name.

  • How to change the user name - peer-to-peer network

    I recently installed shareaza, is a peer-to-peer network as you know. the problem is that all of my folders have my name on it: that is to say, he will say sharedfiles/Jose/my documents. I tried to change my username on useraccount, but the name of Jose remains on everything. is there anyway I can change this? Thanks for any help

    Hello

    The fact is that the username will be created at the beginning of the installation of the OS.
    It comes to you account on the laptop.
    Each user account includes the folder my documents.
    In this case, you cannot change the user account if you have a single user profile on the laptop. The title of the user accounts, you can create additional user with different names.

    The other possibility would be to change the download source. But that you change somewhere in the program settings. Unfortunately, this program is unclear to me. In this case, I can give t you information where you will find this option.
