How to disable the drop-in by a "standard user" in Windows Vista

I use Windows Vista and I have a standard user account. The Welcome Center appears each time I have windows to connect.  I uncheck the box in the lower left corner in the visitor centre, but it does not work.  He always keeps showing upwards. Also, I try to use regedit to remove the entry in the race, but surprisingly I was not allowed to delete the entry because I'm a standard user. So please tell me how to disable the reception centre for a standard user.

Thank you very much.
Jacky

Hello Jackyhn,

You can make a registry change using the following key:

Method 1: Go to the Windows Vista registry editor

To disable Windows Vista Welcome Center with editing the registry:

  • Type regedit in Windows Vista start menu search box.
  • Highlight:
  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion, Run.
  • Right-click on the WindowsWelcomeCenter key and select Delete.
    Reboot your system.

Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.

If please reply back and let us know if this suggestion has helped.

Sincerely,

Marilyn

  • HP Probook 650 G1: How to disable the keys way to Probook 650 G1 running Windows 7, 64-bit

    I just bought a HP Probook G1, intel i7 650 - 4600 m, system BIOS 01.34-08/28/2015, keyboard review KBC 16.3 C version.

    ESC and F1 through F12 function keys seem to be in the Mode of action key (for example flight gives HP, F6 system information allows you to change the audio levels, etc.)- and I prefer to keep the standard functions of these keys (for shortcuts in Word and Excel, also for Express Scribe transcription software).

    I found Ctrl + Fn + the function key corresponding is workaround to achieve some (but not all) the standard functions - but which is cumbersome when used frequently. Workaround doesn't seem to work for the ESC key.

    I saw a few tips on how to disable the Mode keys on some laptops HP - eg
    http://support.HP.com/au-en/document/c02035108

    - and I have used this method on the previous laptop HP (e.g. Pavilion G6), but it does not work for this Probook. The configuration screen of the BIOS on my new machine does not seem to show the key Action Mode (or same System Configuration) as an option.

    I would be grateful for suggestions.

    Problem is now resolved, thanks to HP Technical Support phone line. Their tips were:

    * go to the BIOS Setup in the usual way (shut down, then power on, press ESC, choose F10 for Bios configuration)

    * Choose the Information System

    * arrow above to advance

    * Choose the Configuration of the device

    * Uncheck the Fn key switch

    * Save, etc.

    The corresponding option is more referred to Action Mode button for this model of HP laptop, at least not for the version of BIOS this Probook 650 G1 (worm 1.36, 25/04/2016).

  • How to replace the audio driver by default and applet on Windows Vista Home Premium Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop computer?

    I had sound problems and got a pop up saying audio applet did not work, I chkd the sound test in Control Panel and drivers in Device Manager it says all drivers have been updated and had a MS Mr. Fixit scan and everything said it was OK. Also I went to chat with and MS engineer who just told me to do the things that I had already done so who did not help either.  Then, I lost all sound and when I went and chkd Manager of devices, he said that the sound driver was not installed, I went to Dell to have a driver update installed thinking to recognize the missing driver and install it but that didn't work. I can't find something at Dell who tells me how to install the drivers by default/applets. I got chk Dell for updates of pilot and analysis says that it does not work on something more old then XP but my OS is a Vista Home Premium so I don't understand that, I ran an another Mr. Fixit scan but it showed no problems. I suspect it is the applet which has stopped working and it gives a wrong signal that it is the driver that does not work when it is the applet which poses problem. Is there a scan which analyzes all aspects of the audio system and will repair or replace or at least give me a list of things that need to be replaced or updated? Any help would be appreciated I tried to solve this problem for the past two months and I really want to fix this now if possible.

  • How to control access to a folder by local users in Windows Vista?

    Hello

    There are two users on the PC A (Administrator), B (Standard user). I don't want B to access some folders and want to give only read only access to certain folders. Is it possible to do this in Windows Vista Home Premium or I need a third-party software to do this?

    Sorry, it does appear to me that you use FAT32 (or whatever version you use) on your system partition or boot in a Vista system.  Here is an article comparting both and he concludes that you use NTFS, unless you have a very good reason for using FAT (and frankly, I can't imagine what it may be, unless you're dealing with VERY outdated and costly to replace equipment that cannot handle NTFS - but it would be EXTREMELY rare) http://www.theeldergeek.com/ntfs_or_fat32_file_system.htm.

    It is very easy to convert your system from FAT to NTFS without losing all the data or need to reinstall your programs or reset your configuratations - it there simply and that's all.  Here's how (and it is very easy): http://techblissonline.com/fat32-to-ntfs-conversion-in-windows-xp-or-vista/.

    In addition to the benefits listed in article first in this post (and the second too), you will be able to use security of files and folders (which was the point of all of this thread) as you hear it all through (and you probably won't have the second set of procedures to implement the Security tab, because I suspect that the conversion will automatically be added for you when all is said and done.)  You can use the procedures I mentioned in my first post for your goals.

    I hope this helps.  It would be really better to convert to NTFS for various reasons (including that it allows you to do what you want to do with the security of the file/folder).

    Hi PikaBrian,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    To disable automatic disk checking at the start of Windows through registry, go to the following registry key:

    Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

    322756 how to back up and restore the registry in Windows: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager

    In the right pane, double click BootExecute.

    The default value of the key is autocheck autochk *

    * means that each drive is checked for consistency. Just add /K:C to the end before *. /K switch will disable autocheck on C: drive at Windows startup. If the final value should look like this:

    / k: C to autocheck autochk *.

    If you want to add more drives, the key should look like this: (by disabling the drives C and D)

    / k: D / k: C autocheck autochk *.

    If you want to restore all default, just replace the key with the default i.e.

    autocheck autochk *.

  • How to disable the TouchPad 'tap to click' on Satellite A200 - 15L Vista

    Until mid-December, I got the Synaptics Touchpad ' tap to click on "disabled. Then it became somehow activated, the context menu item to change to gray and the properties of the mouse, etc. settings contain no reference to it. It was suggested that updates nui Windows somehow. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the drivers for touchpad both directly from Synaptics and on the Toshiba site, but it did not help. Aside from using the disk recovery and reformatting what can I do?

    Hi Juliana

    I also read on the Vista updates that affect the parameters of the touchpad for me it sound very mysterious
    I thought about the same procedure of reinstalling touchpad driver.
    But it seems this helps doesn t to get the click back features.
    I think the recovery CD would be the last resort.

  • How to disable the charms to the point bar Windows 8.1

    I have a new HP laptop with Windows 8.1. I HATE the charms bar. It is very annoying. I have disabled the function of the angle of the bar charms appears is more that if I drag the edges of the corner, however, it pop again randomly. I'll be typing along and it will just pop up, blocking everything I am.

    I have absolutely no need of this bar of charms. In fact, the only thing that I used it for is to get to the option to disable them. However, on this laptop, which is not completely disable them... I tried to go to control panel mouse to turn them off, but this option is not available. However, I don't think it's the mouse pad, forcing them to pop up even when... I'll be typing along, not even touch the carpet of mouse, and all of a sudden they're going to pop up.

    What is the cause of this and how can I get rid of him? I'm getting rather desperate and sometimes feel compelled to throw this laptop out the window! I prefer my laptop HP Windows XP and has replaced only because XP is no longer supported... 8.1 window is one of the most frustrating systems, with that Microsoft has developed.

    Please help me turn off these dang for good things!

    UPDATE: I think I found the solution. I received this link a Microsoft Chat line employee. I followed the instructions and the charms seem to have disappeared... YAHOO...

    Here is the link:

    http://winaero.com/blog/how-to-disable-the-edge-panels-charms-bar-and-switcher-in-Windows-8/

    UDATE UPDATE: lol... I posted this below, but repost here... The solution given by the employee of Microsoft Chat line did not work... Well, it worked for a day, I arrested him for the night, and when I turned it on in the morning, the charms were back with a vengeance... Seriously, worse than ever, jumping constantly.  It was as if they were really angry...

    I went to Wally World and bought a $ 16 wireless mouse, which keeps the charm in the Bay... In fact, I think it's easier to use than the mousepad on my laptop anyway. I can use it on the arm of my chair on my laptop beside this mousepad, on a desktop (obviously), but the point being, unless I run the cursor at the very far right of my screen, the charms are hid...

    I have a business Web site, and all working on it, the charms have been constantly popping up as I tried to add images and descriptions. He took me seriously out of my mind... Everything took me twice as long to add, I don't waste time... I worked on it this morning using the wireless mouse and the charms bar jumped not once...

    Thank you Paul, but this link just tells me to do what I've already tried... When I tried to get responses on the Microsoft Windows site, it says that all laptops are different, and I would need to go the manufacturer of my laptop to tell me how to disable... So, I'm here, but nobody seems to know how to stop these things pretty darn... It is really ruining my experience with my new laptop... It's like the use of a laptop being shared with another person who constantly interrupts what I do...

    OPPS... while I was writing that I expect a person on the microsoft online chat to connect so I could ask them how to disable the...

    Rachel from Microsoft came... She sent me this link:

    http://winaero.com/blog/how-to-disable-the-edge-panels-charms-bar-and-switcher-in-Windows-8/

    I did what it said to do, and I'm typing this, no charms have jumped at me... Maybe it solves the problem (hope, hope).
