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?

You have a Windows 7 system repair disc or a Windows 7 installation DVD?

  • How to remove the default for a limited only account gateway (with static ip address)

    I have 1 pc with 4 accounts 1 account administrator and user the rest is limited accounts. I use a static ip address and the question is how to remove the default gateway on these limited account so that they cannot access the internet

    The entry door is fixed to the adapter and selectively cannot set properties of the different adapter for different users, all users use the same adapter.

    With Internet Explorer (does not work with other browsers), you can configure a proxy server with a fake address, you can do this through Group Policy, or you can do it manually for each individual user through the Internet Options settings.  You can set the proxy server address map of loopback (127.0.0.1) or you can set it to a bogus address of your private address range (usually the range 192.168.xxx.xxx)

    If you are using other browsers, you can use NTFS permissions to deny access to the Explorer or the program directory or you can use software restriction policies to deny access to specific programs.

    Alternatively, you can use a logon script to activate the network connection service when you open a session and the other to turn it off when you log, but if you do this you will disable the entire network for limited users if it cannot be a solution for them.  The script can be a simple two-line script:

    Logon script:

    SC config Netman start = demand
    net start netman

    Logoff script:

    net stop netman
    SC config Netman start = disabled

  • How to remove the default iTunes genres in the most recent version?

    I've just updated to version 12.3.2.35 today and the localizable.strings file is not the same aspect it was.  There used to be just a bunch of channels, where I would like to delete those contained in the / * = Genres = * /, / * = kinds reduced = * / and / * = with Genres = * / categories.  However, the localizable.strings file looks like now as if it was some kind of compiled code or something and I can't seem to find where again to remove the default iTunes genres.  I don't really want to have a bunch of useless genres in my drop-down menus.  Does anyone know how to remove the default types?

    Looks like they changed to a binary file format, perhaps because changes to the file may affect the use of music Apple... which is unfortunate for those of us who do not use Apple music and wants to restrict the list of available types.  It can still be an alternative workaround, but certainly worth of reports via the iTunes of Apple Feedbackpage.

  • How to remove the mail profile in windows 7

    I am trying to remove a mail profile in my new system windows 7. I know how to do it on Vista (as below), but this does not work in windows 7 and can't find the info anywhere.  Can anyone help please?

    How to remove the profile under XP or Vista. (1) open the control panel. 2) click on user accounts, and then click surCourrier. (3) the email configuration dialog box opens and you can delete email profile as you wish.

    Hi vanziggy,

    In the Panel, it has a link to "Add or remove user accounts". This is not the place (in Windows 7).

    In Control Panel, in category view - a small drop-down menu at the top right, there is a section "user accounts and Family Safety", which is a link.

    In the dialog box accounts users and family security, there is a box option, where you can add or remove profiles (e-mail). -Bob

  • How to remove the default Firefox 38.0.1 yahoo search (Macintosh)

    How can I remove the automatic reset of Firefox for the terrible yahoo search engine? I want Google as default search engine. Here's what I've tried:
    a. choose Google over yahoo and then remove the yahoo of preferences: Firefox always springs back to yahoo.
    b. download the app 'Google by default'. It worked on previous versions of Firefox, before V 38.0.1. But it seems that the commercial interests behind now bypassed Firefox that, as well, because that 'Default Google' application now no longer works.
    c. erasing and then re - install the "Google by default" application. No improvement.

    If there is no way to deal with this, so I'm dumping FF and switch to Google Chrome.

    Hello, I am wary of some of your extensions, please Try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • Click the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    If the problem is caused by an extension, once it has been removed or disabled, you may need to run SearchReset to restore your settings.

    Troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware can also be useful.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.
