How to restore the default permissions (for example, the users folder) in windows 7?

Dear windows users,

Recently, I messed up the permissions of the files. What happened is that I took my laptop hard drive (win 7 64 bit system) in a USB external hard drive case. Then I get the USB into another windows office 7. I went through the users (perhaps of other files) folder in the hard disk of laptop on the desktop via a USB connection. It is very likely that the Office has changed the permissions of the files.
I put the hard drive to my laptop, but some applications gives error like access denied messages.
Is there a safe way to fix them? How to reset the default permissions?
Thank you.
BTW, have you worked with permissions of folders? Do you know what happens if permission to c:\users is messed up?

When permissions in a subfolder in the users folder are confused so the user will not be able to run some programs, to create, modify or delete some files. The folder property affected, followed by assigning appropriate permissions, is usually sufficient to solve the problem.

  • How to disable the "Fonts" folder in Windows Explorer?

    Hi all

    I have a problem to deactivate the fonts folder in Windows Explorer.
    My question:
    How to turn off or do not display "Fonts" in Windows Explorer my computer tab?

    I think it is unnecessary because it already exists in the Control Panel folder.

    If anyone can solve this, thanks in advance.

    Windows customizes the Fonts folder and offers a special folder view that allows you to hide variations, such as bold and italics. It also allows you to change the display settings of the file in a way that is specific to fonts. If you remove the read-only attributes and the Fonts folder system, these custom display settings not available. For folders that you have customized by using the tab, Customize dialog box Properties of the folder, the folder icon and other other customizations may be missing when you remove the read-only attribute.

    The person who used it happily replied that it worked very well. It seems that you would need to purchase the software to perform the restore. Note: I have not used it myself and can not say anything good or bad to this topic

    Other things I've read, it seems to do a restore of the system to a previous point is a bad idea and makes recovery more difficult.

  • How to change the user name in windows 7 Professional?

    I recently installed windows 7 Professional and by chance I typed my user name and the computer when it prompted me to type it in. When I had typed the wrong characters in and click on 'Next', he wouldn't let me go back and change it, so I was stuck with an unwanted user/computer name. I managed to change the name of the computer for the word you want, but I didn't always know how to change my username.

    I went to user accounts, and there was an option to change the name of the account, so I did.
    However, none of my directories has changed its name, and all processes in the Task Manager were still running under the same previous user name, which I did not want it to be.

    Is there a way to change the username of an account so it affects all the directories, files, folders, etc. without creating a new account with that name? Or, if possible, copy all the files and preferences of the current account to another account with this name?

    Any help is appreciated.

    You cannot change a user account by changing just the name. Simply by changing the name will do a cosmetic change only and does not affect the underlying files/folders in the profile.

    1. from an account with administrator privileges, go to control panel > user accounts and to create the new user account named Standard the way you want to and at least one additional administrator account. Call the last 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar.
    2 log in to the new Standard user account once if the profile of the files/folders are created and then connect to CompAdmin.
    3. now go to control panel > system > advanced > user profile > settings
    4. you will see where you can copy user accounts. Copy the old account to the new from there. Use her browse to select your new account (C:\Users\newaccount).
    5 log in to the new account correctly named and make sure all your stuff is here and it works as you want. When you are satisfied, you can log on and CompAdmin and remove the old account from the control panel > user accounts.

    If you want to access your account again, it is corrected automatically, follow these steps:

    Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
    Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

    Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

    General recommendations for the establishment of user accounts

    You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. Like XP, Vista and all the other modern operating systems, Windows 7 is an OS multi-user with integrated system of accounts such as administrator, by default, all users invited. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

    In particular, you do not want account only one user with administrative privileges on Windows 7 because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult. It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but it will take third-party tools and work outside the operating system.

    The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

    If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this by following the instructions written in the first part of this post.

  • How to hide the user network in Windows 7

    Hello

    I have a domain where we changed windows XP customers 7. It is one of the many areas in the school, so we do not want users to be able to see the network.

    I got through a few Registry hacks and an adm template to hide all references to the network in windows Explorer, but the open/save file dialog boxes do not respect this setting and the entire network is available.

    I managed to control this behavior in windows xp using "no entire network in network locations" policies and "no computers near me in network locations", but these policies are supported on "Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000 operating systems only. Will there be an equivalent value in Server 2008 R2 group policy that applies to Windows 7?

    Can anyone help with any suggestion to prevent users from being able to see and browse the network in this way?

    I scoured the group policies, but I have not been able to track down a setting that will allow me to control this behavior.

    I disabled the network discovery and I have also disabled the following computer policy:
    Computer configuration administrative-->> network-->> Link templates-->> - Layer Topology Discovery-->> activate the IO of the Mapper (LLTDIO) driver

    Computer configuration administrative-->> network-->> Link templates-->> - Layer Topology Discovery-->> activate the answering machine driver (RSPNDR)

    I'm now hacks out of ideas other than the registry to turn off the navigation pane in the open/save dialog box, but I already know of one application that we use does not respect the windows way of doing things so that the network will still be visible through this application.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    As I posted yesterday, I solved this by a pretty messy workaround. It is to import registry fragments set some properties of the Solution Explorer and using a custom ADM template to show and hide items in the open/save dialog boxes. It took a lot of time to work this out and it's not ideal - but it works at an acceptable level.

    Group Policy settings that are supposed to control this behavior (as I said in my original question) are "no entire network in network locations" and "no computers near me in network locations", but these policies are supported on "Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000 operating systems only" - it seems (to my surprise) no equivalent Windows 7 workstations. I tried to define these policies in case there has been an error in the description - but these settings have not been respected on the desktop.

    I posted this in several other places - another microsoft site and several other sites and have not found information on the relevant group policy settings.

    As I said - I found a workaround for this thread can be resolved/closed - but repost in another forum management should not be marked as an answer, because it does not help people who find this thread at a later date. I can reach some fragments of registry (for later import with a startup script or group policy preferences) and the appropriate adm templates if moderators think that here would be useful.
