• How to remove a user account on my computer.

  I would like to delete a user account on MY computer and don't know how.  The account has a password and I don't want to have to ask the person for his or her password.  It is no longer resident at home.  I think that my computer's performance will increase considerably if I do this as there are things stored there who gets up on my computer and it is not used.  Appreciate your help.

  Hi momoftwo_,

  When you delete a user account, you can choose if you want to keep the files created under that account; However, the messages and settings on the computer for the account will be removed.

  (a) open user accounts by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, clicking user accounts and family safety, clicking user accounts, and then clicking Manage another account. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  (b) click the account you want to delete and then click delete the account.

  (c) decide whether to keep or delete the files created under the account by clicking keep files or delete files.

  (d) click on remove account.

  If you want to reduce the number of unnecessary files on your hard disk to free up disk space and help your computer run faster, use disk cleanup. It removes temporary files, empty the Recycle Bin, and removes a variety of file system and other items that you no longer need.

• How to remove a user account remotely in Windows 8 Pro?

  Hey people!

  I have a rather embarrassing question here, which is not urgent, but gives me great concern.
  I am an administrator as COMPUTER technician (sort of... without... self-taught qualifications only) to a small property management organization.
  I am currently looking for another job, and when you want to leave I might have is any more access to the desktop. I have always (it's the PC I am writing this post since).
  I am connected with my private microsoft account, even I use it everywhere, including my own laptop computers and the family too. Needless to say that there is information only I have access to, but I didn't want any hack - in a tent in the future. After all, this is my personal account.
  Is there a way to not just turn off sync and access to my account on this computer, but force the system to delete my files on this computer using my account from another computer? even if the files cannot be removed remotely (they are encrypted), if there is a way to prevent my account appears in the settings and the user selection screen would be a great help.
  Please note that, from now on, I need to have my account on this PC so that I can access information on the server of office on the fly if needed.
  Any ideas?
  Thanks in advance
  PS: Yes, I said I am a technician, but please note that it is not my job. I'm more in the development of a set of security features of Windows. Everything I know about computers come from self-education (experiences and failures in my childhood), and even though I consider myself a very thorough person, beyond the level of the user, I have to admit that I'm not an expert. especially when it comes to advanced safety features. but my mind is open to suggestions and ideas...

  There is no one way to do this unless you have the device software and server management suites.  So basically, not unless you are a massive company.  But even in this case, there is no absolute guarantee, because the company could just disconnect the network and then you'd never a way to send a command to this computer anyway to clear it.  So any local administrator on the computer can still watch all the files, regardless of what protection/security configure you (administrators are like God: they can always see everything without any restrictions at all).

• Additional user account continues to appear on the HD even if deleting it, name of user-nameofcomputer

  I have two accounts, one I've appointed administrator and the other with my personal name. I checked in regedit where UserProfile is listed and there are files ending in 02 and 03 and they list the paths to these two accounts. The missing 01 is probably as a result of the problems I had to get rid of test-testpc that appeared on my computer when he returned for repair by the manufacturer. I know that I could change the name on my own from user accounts in Control Panel, but below it was still test-testpc disk hard drive. I changed the name of the computer and that stuck. I made the new administrator account but when I went to the Advanced System Settings system, then profiles user and test parameters only appear and clicking on it would not let me then click on copy to copy its files and settings of the administrator. I did another administrator account with my personal name and then deleted the test instead of copy and then delete. Maybe I couldn't always copy, maybe that I was so happy that I could remove it.

  While both accounts to log on, only two in regedit (by default and the public seem to never see, can't remember right now if Guest showed up, I usually do ' t activated it.) BUT when I look on my hard drive, there is a mypersonalname-mynewcomputer additional account name. I'm deleting it but it comes back.

  Why and how can I get rid of him and, oh yes, despite all this when I install Office, in the configuration under my name is personal info... test. Then the repairman with a certain (the last time I sent that he was associated with worm test) is always LURKING somewhere. How to remove his remains.

  Yes, I know after reimage my HD even though she had nothing to do with why he was sent, he had to start to see if it worked and so had to give it a name, I affirm that I have to roll back in the condition of the box and he came me out of the box named test. Let the reimage repair once more and stop at the point before you rename it instead of telling me to do. If my machine has been recently reimagee, why would I do it again myself.

• How to add ActiveX controls so that they appear in the list insert ActiveX

  HR 2015, how can I add that activex dll to the list of available ActiveX controls so that the custom DLL or OCX is listed on Insert... HTML... JavaScript... ActiveX controls dialog box?   Where does get this list HR?

  In my view, that it is a list ActiveX controls that are installed on your system. Add on, install the corresponding application and it should appear in the list.

  Please note that ActiveX is outdated and not supported by modern browsers. What you are trying to add? It is probably a better way to achieve the same goal, which is supported by browsers.
