I want to change my account type, STANDARD of Directors.

original title: HELLO, IM VIC. What should I do with my Windows 7 Ultimate? I want to change my account type, STANDARD of Directors.

Whenever I tried to change it as an administrator account I can't click the YES"" button.

Hi Victor,

What happened to your original administrator account?

If you use a standard account to change the type of account, it is not possible. You must be logged in as an administrator to change the standard administrator account type.

  • You cannot change the account Type

    Hello:

    When displaying 'Select your new account type' I see the photo that I have assigned and to the right of the image, I see my log in name and under my name, I see "administrator."

    Standard user is the default bullet selected with the administrator being available option.  However, when I place the ball in the ball of the administrator below "change account Type" becomes gray.

    I won't be a standard user with standard user rights.  It comes to my computer at home and no one else is using the computer or lives with me.  So, my question is the following:

    What I do to activate the Administrator option?  And when I put the ball in the Administrator option I will then be able to "Change account Type".

    This computer and my laptop are both running the same operating system: Windows 7 Professional

    Your support and your help is appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hi again:

    I am not connected as a Standard user.  I am logged in as administrator.

    That's what I told you at the beginning: you ARE connected under an administrator account, so you can not change your account type "Administrator".

    If you are unable to perform certain tasks, then this is because of the restrictions of UAC (User Account Control). Click Start, click Help, and then search for help on UAC. You can disable it if you want, at your own risk.

    P.S. Please do not change your past jobs as this would result in a very confusing thread.

  • Can I change my account from an administrator to a standard account?

    I have currently my system set up as an administrator account and want to know if I can change it to a standard account, if yes, how do I do this?

    Hello

    Please contact the Microsoft Community.

    Want to know how to change the type of user account to an administrator to a standard user. It's pretty simple and I'm here to help you.

    I wish that you perform the steps-

    (a) connect you to your administrator account, click on 'Start', type 'User accounts' (without the quotes) and press "Enter."

    (b) now, click on "Change your account type" and then place a "point" next "Standard".

    (c) click on "Apply changes".

    Note: Make sure you have at least one additional account on the computer with privileges 'administrator' to prevent problems with user account controls.

    In addition, see the articles-

  • Cannot return the 'Guest' to the standard user account Type

    I changed our Type of customer account to the administrator, so a family member could download some things when I was unavailable to repeatedly type a password for it.  Now, I would like to change the Type of account to standard - but I can't.

    When I connect like me, an administrator, and then click on manage other user accounts, the only changes I offer myself for the guest account are image change or disable the account.  When I log on as a guest and click on change the Type of account, I select the Standard button, click on change the account Type, and should not be.  I went back to the screen back and comments is still a Director.  What is happening with this limitation?

    Thank you

    Rosela

    Just disable the guest account.

    And will NEVER again allow him. It is a security risk because it allows anonymous access on your computer. Even worse, if you changed it administrator. (Why on EARTH made you that I have NO idea). This is why it is disabled by default.

    If you wish to allow someone occasional access to your machine to create a Standard user account and call it 'visitor' or something similar. You don't need administrator privileges to upload files...

  • What is the best way to change a column type in the materialized view?

    Hello my dear friends,.

    I want to change a column type in a materialized view. VARCHAR2 NUMBER, so what do you recommend? What is the best way to do it?

    Thank you

    You can not change the data type of the column while there are data in the MV, so you might as well give up and recreate the MV with a TO_CHAR() around the column in question in the application of MV to get the data exactly as you want (be sure to include an appropriate format mask). That said, I'm fighting to think reasonable grounds to make such a change.

  • No Option of account Type change under user ID-want to change of Admin for the Standard user

    Hi, we have a Vista Home Premium system.  One of the children has received this PC and they are as an administrator with no other users.  Later, I added myself as admin and wanted to change the children as a standard user account type, but there is no option to change account type under their username.  I don't want to change the names where I am the initial administrator and the new standard user are children because they already have a bunch of stuff under their original admin username.  ((1) why I do not see the option to change account type and 2) how to change their standard account type so I can use controls parents?  Thank you!

    I want to tell you that if the computer has 1 account only, it will be the default Administrator account and change the standard account type will be gray.

    However, you can create a new user account and set a new one as a standard account.

  • Administrator account type changed from standard

    I have 2 on my pc to Setup user accounts - two of them have been "administrator."  They have now been changed to the standard.  That's happened?  Was it a Vista update that made that change?  I used the built-in Administrator account to log in and then tried to create a new administrator account or to change one of my other administrator accounts and it would not allow me to do.  What else can I do to have an administrator account.  If there is a Vista update that made the change - could you tell me what day it was.

    Thank you

    You said you tried the iin built administrator account - did you mean the account designated in this procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67567-administrator-account.html.  If this is not the case, try to use this procedure to create a new administrator account and see if it works (or use it to modify your current standard accounts administrator accounts and then return the administrator accounts.

    I have not heard of this problem before and if it causes an update, others here would be announcement of similar problems and I never saw any of these positions. Still, it could be caused by an update, but it is unclear what update caused it it you can't help remembering when the problem started and tell us what updates have been installed around this time by number of KB.  If you honestly think that it is a problem of Windows Update, then you should transfer your question in Forum Windows Update: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/threads where experts in the updates wll be more that happy to help - but since you don't know when the problem started or what update or updates may be the cause It will be very difficult for them to provide recommendations (as it is here for us).

    Hare done you nothing recently requiring administrative rights so that we can determiine when accounts ceased to have administrator rights? Did you all any program?  You did changes in the control panel?  Did you install any new harware or drivers of devices?  NO MATTER WHAT?  You may not go back further than you think to do a restore point that could very well solve the problem if you remember when you did a single administrator can do.  System Restore does not affect your data at all.  You just need to re - install everything you have installed, including updates between now and the restore point.  If it'snly a week or two or even three there, which is probably not so much to do - you do not install several new programs are that often you (and Windows Update will be autormatically re - install the removed updates here so no effort on your part).

    Here is an article on the evolution of the types of user accounts (but you will need to log in as the built-in administrator for this to work since it can only be done by an administrator) and try the second and more advanced option and see if it works better than the normal method: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/122023-user-account-type.html.  While you are connected to the built-in Administrator account, try to do a few other features that require administrator rights to see if it actually has administrator rights itself as it should.  If you can not do all the administrative tasks with this account, then the problem is greater than it seems and we will have to refocuse on the problems of file system or hard drive corruption and we might need to do a re-install to repair/Upgrade from Vista to solve the problem.  Who can still be the case if you are unable to create admninstraror accounts or edit standard accounts to the same administrator accounts by using the built-in Administrator account

    We will try to test your system and hard drive for the corrupton files (and these procedures can sometimes resolve the corruption, but not always):

    Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator. If you are unable to do this, boot from the installation disc and select recovery and continue until you get to a screen of options, including the command line).  You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

    If you do not have a disc, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD.

    If you use the drive, cd to C:\Windows\System32. Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.  Try to put all the corrupt files here so that we can see if they can be repaired with good copies of the installation disc (unless there are too many).

    While in the command line in the same directory, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  They tried to set itself to run at the next reboot.   Answer Yes and restart to run the program.  It will scan and attempt to resolve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a potential cause.

    I hope this helps (and I am sorry if my first suggestion bother you so much - it is the most logical solution to this type of problem and works in many cases, not most of the cases - I wasn't aware of the circumstances that you revealed in your response, when I suggested it, but I think that it could still be a viable option if we can identify a reasonably recent time somehow). If this isn't the case, please post back the results of what you did and the results of the analysis that you have run and we can go from there.

    Good luck!
