I accidentally let something change of workstation on the user account control
It was pretty sketchy, and the creator was 'Unknown', then I'm sure that it was not good. I kept clicking on 'no' and then I looked out of the screen and then apparently I clicked 'yes '. Is there a way that I can know how my computer has been changed? I used Norton to scan all my computer and nothing came. I'm just worried of what he changed my computer for.
Hi help please_468,
What operating system do you use?
I suggest that you want to run system restore to the date it was working fine.

While trying to change the folder permissions for a second user on my computer, I did something that I lock my C drive.

Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.I am not able to access denied drive from C to all 'access '.
When I right click on the C drive and select Properties > Security tab > go on, said the popup "cannot open the access control editor. Access is denied. »

Hello
With Windows 7 Professional 64 bit laptop
I am the 'Standard user' and the only user of my laptop. I don't know if I have an administrator account. I could have or something with a similar name when first setting up laptop and loading Windows program (a few years ago). But I remember he was causing Windows always show both accounts and choose one to log-in to. I didn't want no choice since I am the only user of the laptop, so I understood how to make to get rid of the other account (admin?) and kept the Standard user because 'Help' instructions, said it should be used.
There are so many programs that I can not open because the user account control box "do allow you the following program to make changes...? The choice of 'Yes' is NEVER highlighted or available - that the choice of the 'no' can be clicked. And the same dialogue box asks also but it is not a place to type the password "Administrator". I don't even have a Director. Password, or a password to the Standard user account.
And I am referring to all kinds of programs that can not open, as "Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool" that I downloaded from the Microsoft Web site. Or I went into control panel 'User account', but try clicking on 'Change settings User Account Control' brings the same view, "do allow you the following program to make changes to the computer? Or when, on the page of computer system, I can't access 'Advanced System Settings' due to the same dialog box.
How to solve this problem? I'd rather not have the choice of Auditors when Windows opens. I looked through other similar topics here (only Windows 7 partners), and some seek to make changes to the registry. It's very intimidating for me. I'm not a computer scientist at all, but fairly intuitive with the computer. The problem cornered me. Another opinion on a thread is said to use "Fix It". This program is no longer available (we now 2016). I also experienced this problem all this time but am pretty frustrated and wanted to try the job.
Should I re - load the Windows program and do something else?
I hope someone can provide some less intimidating process that touch the registry to fix this. I really appreciate it.
Thank you!

I could have or something with a similar name when first setting up laptop and loading Windows program (a few years ago).
-> Yes, you did.
I understood how to make to get rid of the other account (admin?) and kept the Standard user because 'Help' instructions, said it should be used.
-> It was a bad decision. It was equivalent to throw out your safe master key. There is a much better method to avoid the choice between multiple accounts.
I don't even have a Director. Password, or a password to the Standard user account.
-> You had an admin password when your first install Windows.
I'd rather not have the choice of Auditors when Windows opens.
-> It takes 30 seconds to remove this choice, without loss of the admin account.
Some seek to make changes to the registry.
-> Hacking the registry does not restore your account admin. 'Fix It' will not fix it either.
Should I re - load the Windows program and do something else?
-> Your first step must be to determine what accounts you have and whether they are active. It is done as follows:
- Mark the first line of code below with your mouse, then press Ctrl + C to copy it.
- Click the Start button, press Ctrl + V to paste the code in the run box, and then press ENTER.
- Marks of the second line of code below with your mouse, then press Ctrl + C to copy it.
- Click the Start button, press Ctrl + V to paste the code in the run box, and then press ENTER.

You may be able to transfer your gamertag to another ID Windows Live ID. If you are on a child's account, then you will need to contact the person who made the parent account to adjust your settings. See the link below on how to transfer your gamertag. If it does not my only suggestion would be to create a new Windows Live ID.

Hi Jniles,
Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.
Do you have connected to your computer as an administrator?
User Account Control (UAC) notifies you before changes are made to your computer that require administrator-level permissions. The default UAC notifies you when programs try to make changes to your computer, but you can change how often UAC notifies you.
Open user account control settings by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type uac, and then click change user account control settings.
Please visit these links for more information:

On my HP 510 laptop, I want to change the power mode to one of the user accounts. It cannot be changed of in the user account, so I followed these instructions: log in as administrator, do the selection desired in the list of available eating patterns (Control Panel, Power Options, eating patterns), click on apply, then log in as administrator. I find that the selected power mode has been applied to the administrator account, but not to one of the user accounts. I tried to change in the user account, but still receive the "access denied" response
I recently installed Microsoft Security Essentials. My reading of various internet stations indicate that some older antivirus programs may have hindered this process of power management. I was not able to discover how to inactivate Security Essentials, so did not try to change the mode of power without interference from her.
Another indicated position of the potential interference of the BIOS settings. I don't know how to check if this may be the case. I have MS Windows XP Pro SP3 installed. I have automatic and current updates.
Thanks for any help, you can suggest.
Hello
You can change the setting in see Group Policy for this document:

Or change temporarily the user to an admin account, make the changes and then return as a standard user.

Need to change the name of the administrator under the folder of the user account
I just got a new HP laptop with Windows Vista 64 SP1. My friend who got the laptop I use a nickname that I hate it when he set up the computer for which it was not supposed to do in the first place. I went to the section control panel user accounts control and changed the name of the administrator account. I have only the administrator account on my computer with the guest account. That part worked.
My problem is that, under C:/Users / (username), it still shows that hated nickname. I want to change the name of this folder, but cannot understand how or if it's possible. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance
As you have discovered, you cannot change a user account by simply changing the name. That will be a change cosmetic only and none of the files/folders real profile will be changed. Follow the instructions below to fix things to your liking and to implement correctly under Vista user accounts.
1. create the new user account (named as desired) as a * standard * (not administrator) account and at least one additional account with administrative privileges. Call the extra account 'CompAdmin', 'Tech' or similar.
2. Enter the new user account once if the profile files are created, and then disconnect and then connect to CompAdmin.
3. go in Control Panel > system > advanced > user profile > settings
4. you will see where you can copy user accounts. Copy the misnamed old account to the new name correctly there. Use her browse to select your new account (C:\Users\newaccount). If you don't want to copy all the settings, and then instead simply navigate using the old user, music Explorer Windows Documents, etc. and copy the data to the new user folders.
5. connect to your new correctly named user account. When you are sure to have what you need, you can delete the misnamed control panel user account > accounts to users if you wish.
General information about configuring users in Vista:
You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all the other modern operating systems, Vista is an OS multi-user with system built-in accounts such as administrator, by default, all users and guest. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.
In particular, you do not want one account user with administrative privileges on Vista 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. If your normal user account is an administrator, having 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:
Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UACUncheck "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).

Original title: is User Account Control ask me whenever I do something to my program files?
In fact, this incident has just begun recently that happen to me before.
In my Program Files (x 86), whenever I have delete, rename, cut, copy, paste something there, User Account Control ask me always with a window asking me to confirm my actions.
Program name: file operation
Publisher: unknown
Original file: hard drive on this computer
CLSID: {3AD05575-8857-4850-9277-11B85BDB8E09}↑ This is what UAC appears whenever I do something.
It's so weird, because it's the first time it warn me whenever I mess with my program files (x 86)...
I have never changed my UAC, it's always the same level before (he's on level 3), then why is that happening?I tried everything to find out the root of the problem.
What I tried:
Virus scan
System restore
Turning UAC off and on again
Secure bootHelp, please!
Thank you!While UAC is the recommended setting, it will be always challenge you when you try to add, change or delete files that are inside a folder system.
