I want to give my old computer to my family, how can I delete my user account and files?
I have windows XP & buy a new laptop with windows 7. How can I remove myself from the old laptop so that they don't get my email & files? I give my computer to the family member.
You could do a clean install, so there's nothing left from when you use, or you can create another user (admin) then go on this user and delete your user, so that all your files would be gone.

I installed 5.6.2 Pages but all my old documents will open with ' 08 v.3.03 How can I remove the Pages ' 08 and update all the old documents
5 pages is located in your Applications folder.
Pages ' 08 is located in your Applications/iWork ' 08 folder.
If you open your old documents Pages ' 08 with 5 Pages it will convert and if not damage, remove a large number of useful features.
You will probably regret upgrading to 5 Pages which Apple has made extremely inconsistent and keeps changing its file format.

How can I get additional user accounts get rid as I am the only person who uses my computer?
I'm the only user on my computer, so I am also administrator. I don't want to deal with all the extra files created between User1 and administrator. How to become just the Administrator without additional user?
Don't use NO Windows 7 with a single account. In Windows 7, the built-in Administrator account is disabled by default, and although it is possible to allow, this process may be beyond what you feel comfortable with.
WHEN, and not IF you have problems to access your user account, you will have considerable problems if you don't have a SINGLE account to use.
You need to forget about something to do with XP and create a user with administrator privileges, account (let's call him Admin or similar) and give it a password. Keep this account for access to emergency and for elevation purposes. Then change your account to a Standard user account. (There is absolutely no need to run as administrator on a daily basis in Windows 7, Windows 7 has the function of 'right-click-Run as Administrator "when you need administrator privileges). You'll be much safer and better protected than that. -

* Original title: get the product key
I try to upgrade my old vista laptop to win7, but don't remember the product key for my computer compaq laptop. How can I get this key?
Hello
Your question is not very clear to understand.
If Vista is preinstalled on your laptop, this product key is NOT for Windows 7.
There is a free upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 years, but that offer expired for a long time.
How does the Windows 7 upgrade Option?
The Windows 7 upgrade Option is available through participating PC manufacturers on some PC and Microsoft on any purchase of packaged product Windows Vista. The Windows 7 upgrade Option applies to Windows Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate editions. Your Windows 7 update will be the comparable version: so you will get either Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional (upgrade to Windows Vista Business) or Windows 7 Ultimate, respectively. The Option of upgrade Windows 7 program runs from June 26, 2009 through January 31, 2010. Some manufacturers may choose to shorten the time of upgrade Option.
Microsoft sells more than Windows 7, but it does NOT come for free.
Try Amazon.com, etc.

And if you ask to transfer the license of Windows 7 from a mobile to another laptop:
You tell us what type of license you have.
If the laptop came with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key supplied with the laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.
OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.
The above applies also to OEM system builders licenses.

And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

I got a new computer (an old dies) new a windows vista and I have to disable the old computer before I load the same copy of Vista on my new computer. If yes how can I do this?
If Vista is preinstalled on your OLD computer, it is classified as an OEM license and is not transferable.
The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptopIf a license of Vista at retail, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.A single license is a single Installation.
If it is a retail Vista license, read the information on the clean install and then reactivate it:

Original title: My Windows 7 laptop is plugged in and not on a network. My lack of understanding of the work and networking groups made me make a mess in the implementation
I implemented 'users' as I could and now I find that in large part is loaded on my computer and I didn't need to have to deal with two identities to myself. Can I fix or would it not be better to reinstall Windows a user, a set of files on all and the guest account will be switched off. In addition, even though my computer says that it is a working group, the only internet connection I have is the LAN. Can someone put me directly.
Thanks in advance

My computer is asleep after a few minutes. Then I have to enter a password to reactivate. I want to be able to change the settings for a time of sleep of my choice. I don't want to have to enter a password to wake the computer either. I went to user accounts and tried to change the settings, but they do not save the changes.
What happens when you try to change the power plan?
You shouldn't need administrator rights to change the settings in most situations.
