  • How to remove the Standard user account password

    I am the only person to use my computer, as recommended that I've set up an admin and the standard user account. The admin is password protected, the standard user does not have to be.

    You can't "delete" a password, but you can replace it with a white.

  • How to remove the called user account?

    Original title: user accounts

    I recently had to reinstall win 7.  After I did, I realized that I had spelled his name wrong.  I created a new account and transferred his previous info to his new account.  Unfortunately, I got it back and now when I go to the login screen I have my account (Administrator) and "other users".  I tried to re create a new user account, but all attempts failed.  The accounts are in the system, but will not be displayed on the logon screen.  When I try to go through the other user, he asks a password, that there is none. What I did and how can I fix it?  In cmd, it shows the user account I newly created

    When you go to 'other users', you can type the user name and leave the password empty (if there really was none) and click Enter to connect.

    But to restore the screen so that it shows all the user to click icons, see this answer:

  • How to schedule defragment under user account?

    I would like to know how to plan defragment under user account.

    When I run defrag under user account, it asks for the admin password.

    Is there any approach to ignore this application process for "password" and set the schedule to run defrag directly?

    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance for your suggestions

    Planned measures:

    Would this scheduled task runs under the admin account? even through I connect using the user account and Defrag runs in the background under admin account.  Wouldn't be corrected interpretation? -

    -Yes, that's correct - you are connected as a standard user but defrag makes use of the Admin account.

    Action tab

    It would be correct choose the suite file?

    No - I don't know why you keep reference C:\defrag.bat when it enter task scheduler

    Program/script %windir%\system32\defrag.exe

    Add arguments to C:

    does the work.  In addition, Windows treats the batch, named Windows utilities files very strangely so you should never use same name as a Windows utility.  In this case, I think that Windows work defrag.exe instead of your batch file, so all the arguments written in the batch file will be ignored. Just put in place Task Scheduler I did and forget about using a batch file.

    You can tell that the task is running by looking at the Task Manager, Services, defragsvc.  If the task is running then this service will run also [and service you keep saying that it runs for 5-10 minutes after the task finishes].

    You can view the results by opening the Disk Defragmenter [C:\Windows\System32\dfrgui.exe] and it will show you the last time a defrag activity took place and the last reported State of fragmentation [i.e. the fragmentation status when the task is over].

    [Note that Disk Defragmenter to opening also sets the Task Manager, Services and defragsvc to say that it's running , so this can be confusing - service is not the thing, take any measure and just open Disk Defragmenter initiates any defrag action].

  • How to remove an administrator user profile in windows vista?

    My computer has 2 Administrator profiles. One of them is here over the years and one of them was recently created accidentally. I am trying to remove this accidental profile but when I go into control panel > user accounts > add or remove user accounts and click the appropriate profile, it doesn't have an option "Delete account" as do all other accounts. So I tried the signature on the account I wanted to remove and remove it from there again once, the option 'Remove account' is not there, but he is there for all accounts - same Director of another one. How can I remove this unwanted profile?

  • How to remove the default user in Windows 7

    Some of the original user files became corrupt, in order not to lose all the files, we have created a new user on the same computer.  Now, when we remove the user name and files, original when the computer restarts, we cannot go back... He asks a password with a completely different name we have.  Where and how do I change the system for the new user to the default value and remove the old?  Thank you

    I wrote a longer version of the recommendation that Frederik Long has given you and then deleted because I'm not sure that I fully understand your situation.

    If you can get into Windows, then follow the advice of Frederik long.

    If you are unable to Windows, what do you see when you start the computer?  In other words, don't you see the Welcome screen with one or more of the icons for user accounts?  If there is only one icon and it's a 'completely different' user name this is the old name you deleted?  If not, what is?

  • How to remove the administrator user

    I create a user administrator using cmd.exe. The command is
    "net/active: Yes"user "Administrator" password"{enter}".

    Now I want to delete this account, but I can't delete it anywhere, as the user accounts and parental controls as well as cmd.exe
    "net user"Administrator"/ delete".

    How can I remove that administrator user?

    The administrator account is a built-in account. Windows won't let you delete it. However, you can turn it off when you type this command at a command prompt:

    NET user administrator / active: No.
    Make sure you have two additional accounts admin fully tested and documented before going ahead with the above command.
