I changed the network settings of 'area' to the 'task force '. Now all (admin too) user passwords are not valid. How can I access my computer?
Microsoft support suggested to reinstall the system, as the security policy does not allow to reset the admin password.
From my point of view, their security policy is useless when you get out of HD and put in another machine. All the data is yours.
My concern is to avoid the reinstalling all software as well as custom settings. Even if you saved all the files of configuration, it may still take some time.
Hi Novina,

Cannot change the "Task force" to "Homegroup".
I have the same question, the poster has done here:
http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-security/how-to-setup-Windows-7-as-a-workgroup-that-is-not/43f7a288-50CF-444e-aff8-efc7588251f8
Despite all the verbiage, the question was never answered.
I have 3 computers running Windows 7 Professional and 1 running Windows 8. One of my computers in Win 7 refuses to change its membership in a group of "Working group" to "Homegroup" (control Panel\All Control Panel Items\System (settings of domain name and the computer working group)).
I go to "Edit settings", replace "Workgroup" to "Homegroup." "I then click on the"Network ID"button and change it to"business network"to the home computer. Then I reboot. One or the other of the two adjustment positions will always come back. I tried to restart after changing to "Homegroup", THEN change the setting of the network to the home group ID, but THIS action causes the name of the group be changed to "Workgroup".
WHAT happens here? Is it possible to make these changes stick?
As much as I know Homegroup doesn't have a 'name' (unless it's just the homegroup)
Yes, on the computer properties page I'm still in a working group called task force because it is the default value (under Windows 7 Ultimate)
In network ID, I'm in a business network even if the computer has always been in a home network in the network and sharing Center. Confusing isn't.
Joining a homegroup essentially means that you have a user called HomeGroupUser$ probably with a password set up in the residential group and a security group named HomeUsers who has permissions for the actions available to the Homgroup.

just what I said. my old shorted out laptop screen - my support tech (which are closed now) has transferred all old laptop again laptop information - there is a collection case which, in my view, has the old bookmarks. When I added to firefox for the new portable computer bookmarks do not come to the top.
You can search in your collection to a folder named bookmarkbackupsfolder? It should contain files with similar names to:
bookmarks-2013-08-11.json
Assuming that you find these files, this article describes how to restore them on your new installation of Firefox: restoring bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer. Please note that the restore function replaces all bookmarks that you can add to your new installation. If you need to keep those, you can do an import and export through the HTML format. This message has the steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/966986#answer-463938.
Edit: My apologies for typo in bookmarkbackups's fault.

These files were probably part of a virus or spyware infection that has been partially removed. Run a full scan for virus/spyware. If the problem persists, use the free Windows Sysinternals Autoruns tool to find and remove references to the files.

Your best option is to try to reinstall Windows 7:
If Windows 7 is pre-installed:
New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.
------------------------------------
This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...
For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device
For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device
For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device
For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward
For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo
For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.
For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...
For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power
Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"
Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".If you have a retail copy of Windows 7 installed, use your reinstallation disk to perform a new installation:

I take a class of building mobile app & trying to save the JavaScript for Phantom Limb as a bookmark. I found how to chrome and replace the URL with the code, but I am unable to do that in FireFox. This is a simulator of touch screen for desktop computers, so it's something I want, but can't understand. Please notify.
Is the problem with creating the bookmarklet, or by running successfully?
You can create a bookmarklet by right-clicking on the toolbar bookmarks, new bookmark, then paste your code into the location.
If there are problems running, try to open Firefox browser Console (Ctrl + Shift + j). Click on the clear button to declutter, then try your bookmarklet and see if it generates error messages.

I recently received from remote assistance installed a new anti-virus program. During using the remote technician, I he observed several open windows because it deleted the files that were left by previous anti-virus programs on my computer. These files prevent the download of the new program. As I watched him navigate through my programs and files, I noticed that there are a lot of game files that have been deleted by using the functions of the control panel and uninstalling still in my computer. The technician of 3-4 programs installed on my computer while he removed residual files of the antivirus and promptly removed from these programs when it was correctly installed my new anti-virus program. I would really like to know how to access files or records what he did and then delete the game files that I thought were removed. I downloaded at least 100 trial offers for sets of objects hidden over the years and you don't want no trace with my memory of the computer. No help available out there?
