How to configure a user account so that they can not install, download or change anything on this user's profile?

I use Windows 7. I'm not a proffesional on computers. I can usually work my way around them if they say what to do. I have Setup as an administrator. Can I make changes while I'm still under the profile administrator or do I have to go to the guest profile?

Thank you

Make a standard user account.  That's all.  If they are not administrators - they are limited about changing their profile.  They can even install some things that install on their profile only-, but no systemic change.
 
Or they can use the guest account - which is a bit more limited.

In the event err log # 2147942487command line: "C\:WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\WUSA '". "»» "EXE" "Windows Update Troubleshooter said" search for missing or corrupted files. I did a sfc/scannow and everything was fine, that the settings are incorrect... Went to computer management by looking at the windows log. Event ID was found in respect of the implementation of 3. Looks like I've lost all my updates. Window update is only showing KB947821 HOT of difficulty. All my other downloading updates for the past two weeks included Microsoft Office Update that I can't see anything there all gone. I check the installed updates and 14 updates that don't settle all gone. Windows Update indicates any problem or error #. It says Windows update installed "Never". I tried the solution to the difficulty of corruption problems MSI software update registration. Help I don't know where to go from here. I ran the windows Memory Diagnostic tool, which came with no error. In the community he sent me to back registry which I do not know how to do. Can I save on my hard drive or another source.

I'm not computer savvy, but I do what I can do better. Had problems with windows update not install and now not download or install 2 MOS. So where and how can I know what updates I need after that this problem is corrected.  Thank you

    If you want Office 2007 updates to appear in the installed updates again, you would need to uninstall/reinstall Office 2007 and install all the updates again.

    Assuming that Office 2007 is installed & working properly and no update is offered when you run a manual check for updates now, you might want to leave enough alone (that is, do nothing) - then see if the 2 updates for Office 2007 SP3 be released next Tuesday (a) receive, (b) successfully install and (c) are listed in the installed updates later.

    PS: The possible causes of the problem are messing with registry cleaners, messing around with the Software Distribution folder, and the fact that it was a computer refurbished when you bought it.

    Install the 3 other updates manually

    Restart

    Back to updates of Windows and install KB982018

  • I'm trying to install a HP printer driver, but get a massage of error that remind me that I can not install the__driver without administrator privileges.

    I am registered as an administrator and is the only user of this laptop. I did not have a password. I installed a few programs without having this problem.

    This is the error message:
     This software cannot be installed using the command "run under...". ». The installation cannot continue until this is resolved.

    Action required: click Cancel to exit this software installation. Sign out and then sign in as a user with administrator privileges. (Contact your system administrator for more information.) If there is no system administrator, ask the primary user of this computer installation software. Restart the installation by removing and re - insert the installation CD.
    I tried to open a session as a different user, but it doesn't help either.
    Can anyone help please. Thank you. I'm not a computer expert.

    Try right click on the printer driver > run as admin.

  • I try a photo by email - the message that I get is that they do not recognize Internet Explorer, which is ridiculous - this is what I have.

    Then ask Picasa Help.

  • I constantly receive error messages because most of the time that they do not install Windows updates

    I'm not all that warned about the computer, but I managed to find sort of tutorials to help me. But I still have problems with windows updates, firefox plant all the time I use especially it is good that told me to use firefox. My computer is very slow and Windows Defender im always invited to allow allow or deny the same programs. Being a Crawler.com and another editor says not available but in its URL, it says that it is also time Crawler. If I deny it he returned to allow the authorization. If I allow it, it still appears upward. I think I have way to many scanner, difficulty, uninstall spyware, etc... I need essentially help clean and find the right protection and how to install updates. For the moment anyway. Thank you... PAM

  • Technical support gave me a download that I can not install

    FILE 0219529466 NUMBER.              My Photoshop CS5 working properly.  I believe that this can be linked to the recent update of Windows 10.  When I tried to start CS5, I got a screen that said I started my trial version, I got CS5 for years.  After a long conversation with the Adobe technical support, I learned by them to uninstall CS5 I did.  They sent me a link to a file to reinstall the CS5, but when I tried to use the installation program failed because it could not find a previous version.  Apparently the installer gave me was an upgrade and he was looking for an earlier version.  Since I had CS5 for modified computers and the years I don't have a previous version of the installer to find.  The installer confirms my serial number is good, but fails because it cannot find the previous version.  TECH SUPPORT FAILED this time!

    Hi Philk30634396,

    I have reviewed your file number: 0219529466 and found that Photoshop CS5 was an upgrade to Photoshop CS3 that you bought, the installer provided is correct, it's just you asking to enter the serial number of Photoshop CS3 when installing in the menu drop-down select Photoshop CS3 and enter the serial number of this one when prompted , for more information on this see: error: "this serial number is not for a product calling it" | Adobe Creative Suite.

    You can find your serial number of Photoshop CS3 on your account, visit: find your serial number.

    Let us know if that helps.

  • I've been using Photoshop CS6 Student Edition on 2 laptops; updated Windows 8 to 10 Windows without disabling CS6 and installer says I already have 2 options and that you can not install

    I bought Photoshop CS6 Student Edition through B & H in 2014 for two users, which I used in my 2 laptops and yesterday I have one of my laptops upgraded Windows 8 to 10 Windows without disabling the Photoshop CS6 Student Edition on it. Now, when to start the download of the software again in the same portable computer the installer says, I used 2 options and impossible to install any other software. What should I do to install the software again?

    A Win10 update is SUPPOSED to maintain all existing software without having to reinstall... so exactly how did you install Win10?
