• I'm unable to change the family settings on standard account even though I am the administrator

  I am the administrator and want to change the settings for games/ratings on my son's standard user account, but it won't let me... Very frustrating!

  He returns constantly with the message: unable to make changes to parental controls settings. If the problem persists, consult your system administrator

  I have read many previous posts on this issue, but it seems that nobody has provided a solution that I can find!

  Hi TeenaWilson,

  Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for the query display. Looks like you are not able to modify the parental control on a standard account.

  Try these steps and check:

  Method 1:

  Disable UAC (User Account Control) and check the result.

  See: How can I change the behavior of user account control by using the slider?

  Note: You must restart your computer when you enable or disable UAC. Change levels of notification does not require that you restart your computer.

  Method 2:

  Step 1:

  I suggest to create a new administrator account and log later in the new administrator account, try to set parental controls and check if it works.

• Impossible to delete a user account

  I apologize for the display of either of them, because he has already answered threads on this community. I feel mine is a little more specific.

  I recently had my laptop sent to work in a center of Dell, and because they did not actually to be repairing the system, but only a piece of the trim, I didn't think that they needed to my user password. Despite this, they have created a new user named 'Administrator' to access my system anyway. Now that all my system repairs are completed, I would like to delete this user.

  In Control Panel, add or remove users and by selecting the new user, I not give me the option to remove. I found where I can use controls to remove it online or in WMI where I find the user and remove or its permissions. But there are 16 listed under users in WMI users and I want to make sure I remove the right and all its data. I renamed the user "Guest" if I can be sure that by removing the user named "Guest" in the WMI class, I will get the right pair?

  My final concern is that this account cannot be deleted, but my main account can. Is this common? Or Dell somehow does take into account the main user for laptop? If I remove the "Guest" account, my account will lose the option should be deleted and I will still all permissions?

  Sorry for all the questions, but I want to make sure that my system is always fully accessible to me.

  All versions of Windows (at least XP, if not before) is a built-in account named "Administrator".  In Windows 7, the administrator account is disabled by default.

  Apparently, your store of tech enabled the administrator account and then failed to turn it off.

  Although you can't remove the administrator (by design) account, you can - and should - disable, which will take away from your home screen.

  First of all, make sure that you have at least one - and two - preferably accounts of users who are "Administrators" - check by going to control panel > user accounts:

  

  • Open a command prompt (click the start ORB, type cmd.exe, right click on the link to cmd.exe and select 'Run as administrator' and respond as needed to the UAC prompt).
  • In the black command prompt window, type the following line and press enter
         NET user administrator / active: No.

• Impossible to delete a user created by error

  The original user was 'Owner' and 'child' user has been created.  Worked fine since 2005.  May 2011 inadvertently creating user 'Owner.YOUR - F838.... 8BF.  Now on the screen connecting Kids and owner icons appear.  When the owner is chosen and entered password, the Owner.Your - F83... 8bf user is enabled.  The original owner has Admin rights to remove.  How I can connect to this original owner account so I can get rid of this inadvertent duplicate?

  It looks like your original "owner" profile has been corrupted and the system creates a new profile with a similar name.

  If I were you, I create a new profile "computer administrator" that is named something other than the owner (for example, Mom) and copy all the data of the corrupted profile owner following the directions below.  You can then remove the owner and Owner.xxxxx profiles.

  The problem is, I suppose, that the Owner.xxxx profile has no rights "computer administrator."  In this case, you will need to log on to the built-in account named "Administrator".  The 'Administrator' account is usually hidden and still not intended for daily use, so that it can remain corrupt and available for use of emergency as in your situation.

  In Windows XP Home Edition, you must restart the computer in Mode safe in pressing F8 repeatedly starting immediately after that turning the power on self-test (POST) is completed.  If you see the Windows logo, you waited too long to start to hit F8 and reboot and try again.  In Safe Mode, you will see an icon for the administrator on the Welcome screen.  The default password is blank (no password) - unless you changed it.

  In Windows XP Pro, you can restart in Mode without failure or simply press CTRL + ALT + DELETE on the screen of welcome with no other connected users.  This will open the "classic" logon screen  Enter the administrator user, and again, the default password is empty.

  Notes:

  Create the MOM Administrator, then log off administrator and connect to MOM.  This will create a framework of the profile.  Then disconnect you mother and identify new in the administrator to the copy of the profile.

• Impossible to delete a user?

  I deleted a user via the Control Panel, but it still appears in the list of users in Windows Explorer. I tried to delete it directly from there, but every time I get a message that the folder is shared. When I try to change the shared option, I get an error message that says I don't have permission and yet I am logged in as system administrator?

  I also have a message box that says: "the action cannot be completed because the folder or file is open in another program." The only folder located in the user folder is the folder Microsoft Office Genuine Advantage. I guess that is created when I took office. I have to move it to another folder?

  Can someone give me a few simple steps to remove this junk folder of the user.

  What you see, is an orphaned profile folder. Is no longer, it can be used by anyone. If it bothers you then you can do this:

  1. Press F8 at startup to boot safe mode.
  2. Logging in as an administrator account.
  3. Rename the Junk folder by adding a suffix to his name, for example Jack.delete
  4. Wait a week.
  5. If all goes well, remove the renamed folder. If this isn't the case, the original name of restoration.

• C1765nfw copy Issue: printer always takes into account that I have copies of legal size, even though I set the size of the copy as "letter"...

  C1765nfw always guess I make copies of legal size, even if I set the size of the copy as a 'Letter' in the default copy settings.  Paper default tray is also 'Letter' and 8.5 x 11 paper I get incompatibility of paper for each page, because the C1765 is looking for legal size paper. and then have to erase/reset for each page I copy (including multi-page documents) how to fix this?

  I just fixed that for a client, and it was pretty simple. Somehow its default settings for the MPF tray have been changed to legal. Try going to settings of the tray then MPF and change the default to the letter. This corrected it in my case.

• Hello/iTunes/Apple Mobile Device not install even though I am the administrator

  Since end of February I could not reinstall ITunes.  It all started when I tried to put in day, and it wouldn't work.  In the end I uninstalled ITunes and tried to reinstall, but I kept getting this message that the Apple Mobile Device could not be installed (?), and I need to check that I have sufficient privileges to install.

  Since then, I have:

  Ran as administrator

  Made sure that 'everyone', 'my user' and the 'administrator' (pretty much just me) have full access

  Disabled user account control

  Cleaned the registry with CCleaner

  Command prompt to check the C drive?

  Nothing has worked.  I even went in the ITunes folder where my music is, was the administrator, and it still does not.  Recently, I uninstalled Quicktime, Hello and the Apple Mobile Device... everything that Apple.  Still would not work.  I got:

  "'Hello Service' (morning Service) service could not be installed.  Make sure you have sufficient privileges to install system services. ».  If I hit "ignore", then it will just do the same except replace "Hello" with "Apple Mobile Device".

  I posted my reply because of what you have posted; It was incomplete and I thought that you might have missed something:

  Recently, I uninstalled Quicktime, Hello and the Apple Mobile Device... everything that Apple.

  There was also:

  Apple Software Update

  Application of Apple Support (iTunes 9 or later)
  On some systems, iTunes can install two versions of the Apple Application Support. What is expected. If both are present, do not forget to uninstall both versions.

  If it still does not, take my advice and contact Apple technical support or ask in their community.

  See you soon.

• Still signed in even though closed Skype is closed and completely disconnected

  Hey I seem to have a problem for months, I don't know if it of a known issue or not, but some friends have that mine have told me that I'm still registered on Skype, even though I have disconnect manually. Sometimes I'm quite 'Skype' and the program quits or I will 'disconnect' and then 'leave Skype"if Skype isn't running. Skype never also told me who signed, I also noticed that some of my contacts are signed and I'll call or their cat... or text them asking if their signed on which we will say no.

  I'm updated to Skype 6.21.0.104 (it would be annoying to go 'invisible' every time using Skype and useless)

  Thank you!

• Cannot update windows 8 to 8.1 without 'administrator' even though I am the administrator

  Hello

  I just bought a laptop with windows 8. I want to upgrade to windows 8.1. I went to the store windows and tried to download 8.1, but he told me that I did the NPT have "administrator privileges". I am the only user and I have an administrator account, then why can't I just download 8.1? Thank you, it kills me.

  Hello

  It's kind of a late response, but I hope it will be useful...

  Uninstalling Windows Update KB2871389 and then put it back solves the problem for most people who have tried.

  You can uninstall it by going to programs and features and by clicking on "View installed updates" at the top to the left. You will need to scroll the list to find it. Then right-click on it to get the option uninstall.

  You can also disable or preferably uninstall security 3rd party programs...

• "iPhone cannot be used because it requires a newer version of iTunes" even though I have the latest version of iTunes?

  Yesterday, I bought an iPhone 6s and decided to restore it via iTunes. This then is the message "iPhone cannot be used because it requires a newer version of iTunes" came. So I installed the latest version, but the message still came, even if I had the latest version. What should I do?

  What operating system you are using on this computer?  If he is old enough like Windows XP or Vista, it is unable to get the latest versions of iTunes that are needed to work with the latest iPhone software.
