I'm trying to delete a file from my computer running windows 7. He said that I must have administrator privileges. I am the administrator. What I am doing wrong?

It is just a complete file of pictures on my desk. It will not erase.

Hey dancin4108,

You can try to change UAC settings and see if it helps. (You must restart your computer when you turn on or turn off UAC before it takes effect)

Here are some useful articles to help you understand the UAC:

    Im trying to delete a file from my computer to free up space sum but when I go to delete it is impossible to delete the file "C:\6ace0ee039abdce9ea240" said. Nothings lock or something. So I don't know what can someone give me an overview of sum?

    This is most likely a temporary file created by a security or other Windows update.  Restart the PC and see if you can delete it then.  If this isn't the case, then you may want to assess the question to seize the property and removing against evil, it could cause if it isn't a vestige.  In addition, he is unlikely to win a significant amount of disk space, clean as you do only puts off the coast of the inevitable hard drive upgrade - if the drive is full, get a larger.

  • permission to access files from another computer running window xp__

    my laptop is running window7 and I try to get the media to my desktop running window xp.

    You have configured by file/printer between two machines share? If this is not the case, this is your next step.

    Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not.

    In Windows 7, go to control panel > everything in Control Panel > network and sharing Center. Click on "change the advanced sharing settings. You don't want to use the residential group unless you have all Windows 7 machines. If you do and you want to use the homegroup, see Windows 7 Help & Support. Otherwise, in sharing advanced:

    Discovery of plug in the network
    Open the files and printers sharing
    Turn on the sharing section Public folder sharing
    Plug the password protected sharing

    A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, turning on window file sharing and printer as the above will take care of that for you. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus/security with its own firewall component program, then you're fine.  With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Refer to the safety of any third party program or the user forums for how to correctly configure its firewall. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

    (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

    C. create the counterpart of the user accounts and passwords on all machines. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this:

    Start > 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).

    XP - set up Windows to automatically connect (MVP Ramesh) - http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Autologon.htm

    D. Si one or more of the computers on your network are XP Pro or Media Center, turn off Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).

    E. create share as you wish. In Windows 7 I usually share the Desktop of the user and the Public directory. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

    Thanks for the info.  The process suggested that the moderator of the Forum about the clean boot and isolate the entry under services in mscongig allowed me to isolate the file at the root of the problem - in my case the rules of WD.  I uncheck and applied at this point, but I'm not sure what problems this may cause in the future.  I guess it's related to Western Digital and will attempt to communicate with them.  Once again, thank you for the help.

  • The administrator account has disappeared from my computer running Windows XP Pro. How can this happen and how can it be solved?

    I don't see that the clarification would help.

    To retrieve the getting started welcome screen (in fact, many people want to know how to get the system to the way you have it, on the contrary), see--> http://windowsxp.mvps.org/noautologon.htm

    Out of curiosity, use the command control userpasswords2 described on the link above and look at the list of users.

    You should have:

    • each account you created
    • an account named Administrator
    • an account named ASPNET; and
    • an account named comments

    You have these accounts?  Specifically, you have an account named Administrator in more the one named Admin?

    All Windows XP installations have a built-in account named Administrator.  This account should normally be reserved for emergency cases and therefore, is hidden in the home in normal mode screen once you have created your own user account (I don't remember if you have created an account with computer administrator privileges user, or if the creation of a user account allows to hide 'Administrator').  Although it is possible to rename the built-in account, doing so is not easy and not a good idea IMO.

  • Windows backup: if I delete a file on my computer, it deletes the file on my backup too?

    I recently discovered that the feature of automatic backup of windows on my computer and I'm thrilled about it (I think...). So far, my method of backup was just copy and paste all my files on an external hard drive. This method works very well, but it of a lot of time because I have to open each file and include the files or documents are new since my last backup and then drag them over my external hard drive. Very labor intensive.

    Thus, windows backup will do that for me automatically? It will recognize the new files and save them to each backup of the future that I create? And what would you say if the already-saved files are renamed or reorganized on my computer? The backup file will recognize these changes? Or he will treat them as if they are new files (and then let me with duplicates on the backup file)?

    Also, after I backed up my files on my external hard drive, I want to be able to remove some of these files on my computer (in order to free up space on my computer). But these files will then always be on my backup file?   In other words, let's say I finished my initial backup and then delete some files on my computer... on my next backup, windows will see that I have deleted some files from my computer and think I also want these deleted my backup files? Or he'll just leave these files on the backup?

    Hello

    Yes, the Windows 7 backup allows you to create the backup schedule. If you have deleted files after the backup is created, the files must be available in the Windows 7 backup. In your new scheduled backup files are added incremental basis if they available even if you delete them from your computer. All you have to do is to restore them. You can restore individual files or folder tree.

    Some useful tips on Windows backup:

    • Make sure that you create the full backup or an Image of the computer before trying to scheduled backup
    • Create a daily backup schedule, using the Panel\Backup command and restoration centre
    • Verify that your scheduled backups are created every now and then
    • Run a test backup first, just to become familiar with the Windows backup
    • Try to use an external HARD drive that is bootable for backup and create a system restore disk. Just in case you need to restore your Windows 7 full

  • Copy a file from one computer to another

    Hi all

    I am trying to copy a file from a computer (where I program CVI) to another computer on the same network. How do I do? Can I use library functions plug supplied by C or y at - it of the other libraries available in labwindows?

    Thank you

    Kanu

    CopyFile () in the library of the utility accepts UNC paths, so you can do something like this:

    CopyFile ("MyFile.txt", "\\\remotePC\\remoteFolder\\myfile.txt");

    Avoid conflicts between this function and the corresponding Windows API function with the same name: read the online help for explanations.

    Simpler is better, don't you think?

  • Can I delete individual files in a backup of Windows 7?

    Hello, I was wondering if it is possible to delete individual files from a backup. I like to keep my backups tidy and get rid of files that I would need is more if I need to restore.

    Thank you
    Mike

    Hi Mike,.

    First of all, it can normally be done, but it's not simple (and much more complicated/difficult {to the point where some people will say "no, it cannot be done"} if it is an image backup full rather than a full backup; and even with a full, more complicated backup but just more effort if differential backups indivdual also play a role, since you may need to check each of them also).

    That said, the answer will also depend on what you used as backup destination.  If it was and external HARD disk or a separate internal HDD or a network location, then you will probably be OK.  If you used a set of DVD or CD, it of extraordinarily difficult or, if the drives are not the RW types (but guys R), impossible (since you cannot make changes to them once they are written).

    See this thread to see if it helps: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-performance/delete-individual-files-from-a-backup/5dbbe219-e062-4a11-9d87-a8ec26d97174.  Don't forget to use Browse for the files, as you see not individual files with browse for folders.

    If this does not help, then I recommend research and/or validation of help in the TechNet Forum dedicated specifically to the problems of backup here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsbackup/.

    In my case, since I the backups periodicals full image as well as weekly full backups (with daily differential backups) AND maintain multiple copies as "backup backups' so to speak, it would be even more complicated.  If I felt the need to do (but I don't see a good reason, it would be NECESSARY that desperately and leave just the time to cure the problem), I would probably remove the file from the system and just launch a new series of backups that although a lot of time, maybe more simple in the end.

    Good luck!

    What is a substitute for the migration assistant? I tried in vain for three hours to migrate files from a macbook pro to each other so that even if connected with the ethernet cable the computers never see each other.

    You can connect otherwise?  USB or FireWire or love at first sight?  You can connect both machines and start the one you want to transfer to target disk mode.  If your other machine is up and running with an account on it and you just want to move files, you can simply drag and drop the FRO the machine mounted TDM, or you can use the migration wizard.

    Or, if the other machine still starts and runs, you can start both computers and connect to the same wifi network and share the hard drive like machines on the network.  Access them in the finder on the new machine files and drag-and - drop, or use the wizard migration, on wifi.
