How to get full administrator access?

Hello

I am a 'old' WinXP user who has just installed Win8 Pro and am lost. I am the only user and so an Admin account, but I can't access some files (for example, local settings) when necessary. Can someone tell me what I'm missing? TIA...

Thanks for the reply and the informative explanation. However, I still have the problem of access to the "Local Settings" folder, where program temporary files are often stored. I need to manually delete the temporary files. Perhaps they were moved, too?

Hello

Local settings is a junction, so it is not accessible.

The new location for the locale is the C:\Users\your name\AppData\ Local folder (where your name is the name of the account that you are using).

You will find the Temp folder at this location.

Here are some other common folder junctions and their new location in Windows 8. The junction is bold and the new location is in parentheses.

     Application data [C:\Users\your name\AppData\Roaming]
     Cookies [C:\Users\your name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies]

     Local settings [C:\Users\your name\AppData\Local]
     My Documents [C:\Users\your documents]
     These last [C:\Users\your name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent]
     SendTo [C:\Users\your name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo

    You must run the query that I provided before to identify if the workflow is used or not.

    For the workflow of order lines, it is intended to be used as you use the order management.

  • How to get full offline installers

    How is it that we can't not Full Offline installers for Adobe Shockwave and Adobe Flash?

    Many users prefer the offline installation programs I can download on a single machine, then move them

    to another (perhaps no internet access) to install. These Stub installers are the

    absolute worst idea than some silly programmer never imagined.  And when it comes to Adobe

    push additional downloads with download of Flash or Shockwave?  .. McAffee security analysis

    and desired... Most of the people do not want and do not know what they are.

    This information seems to be correct. If all goes well, it will stay like this.

    Now all I need to do is check months what version I have on the

    test page and it will tell me if a newer version is released. Then download and

    Install them.

  • Sam S300 - how to get full Supervisor Password Prompt to enter BIOS?

    Have a Satellite PRO S300 (PSSB0A - 06500T), who is with Stop 7B BSOD-ing and I go into the solid part of the BIOS so I can reset the boot order to allow me to re - install Win XP.

    ESC - F1 puts me right in the small part of Page 1 of the ACPI BIOS configuration. I know the supervisor password! So, how do to a password prompt that will allow me in the two pages of the configuration of the BIOS.

    I tried F12 at startup to enter the boot options on the Toshiba splash screen, but it does not work.

    I think you hold a key in the market. Try holding the "INS" key to get the supervisor password to appear prompt.

  • How to get full screen Fennec for android project source code?

    Hello

    First of all, I'm sure that it wasn't the right category to post this question, but I couldn't really understand better. I hope that you will be moving to a better place.

    We would like to take advantage of Fennec with HTML5 framework by wrapping it in a slightly WebView like you can do it on Android. The native implementation of the webview on Android is proving to be very disappointing so far while Fennec runs seamlessly.

    Could you recommend us advice to do it properly the Android app of the Fennec project?

    Basically, we want to just be able to call out a new instance of class FennecWebView() in our code (instead of the formerly new WebView()) which will work in full screen and will not call any other things like, bookmark manager, highlight. We want just that scale up to a strict minimum in order to launch our Web framework in a native application thanks to its engine Fennec.

    Thank you very much!

  • How to get account administrator again?

    I did something stupid - like you the Security Treaty have I changed my account type administrator for the user type thinking that my other user account would automatically become the admin account.

    Now, I have an unknown account [which could be the Toshiba factory account] as the administrator who asks me a password unknown to certain tasks, etc.
    Can someone help me with other suggestions that restore my computer to its factory settings pleeeease?

    Hey,.

    To be honest I really don't understand why you did this

    Anyway, if you t do not have an account with administrator rights more, your only chance is to reinstall Windows I think. I m not an expert with these things, but you need an administrator account to assign administrative rights to another account and that s not the case

    In addition, I put t know what Toshiba factory account you want to say. I didn't know what that s.

    Lack on the part of Oracle 9i. Instead, you can query V$ SQLTEXT_WITH_NEWLINES in 9i. Join them based on HASH_VALUE and order per PIECE.
