Is it not possible for me to duplicate my administrator account?

My little brother uses my account, so I would really like that, if I could reproduce them so he could have his own. Is it possible if the account is the administrator?

Hi EColl,

It is a complicated question, but in general, it can be done.

First of all, it is possible to create a new user account and move information from one account to the other.  You will use essentially the same procedure if the account has been corrupted (except you copy instead of move and would not remove the original account). Here is the procedure in Vista: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.  If you have a different operating system, or perform a search on Bing for 'fix a user profile corrupted in ' or post back and I'll try to find it for you.

If you want him to have administrator rights, you are finished.  If this is not the case, use your username to change his account to a standard account and then you are done (but if he is accustomed to using an administrator account, he can find a standard account quite a bit more restrictive - but it's up to you).

But consider that, while both accounts have the same starting point for documents, images, programs, audio, desktop, settings, e-mail programs and configurations and accounts and other, as soon as you start to use them separately, they will become different.  He will not have access to your user accounts and any additions, changes or deletions you make will not intervene in his account (because is not the same account).  Well, if you two administrators, technically, you can access the data in each and other accounts and copy it to your own - but who then begins to defeat the purpose of having separate accounts.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

When I disconnect and try to connect again it stay on the page of waiting please two days stating at the time that failure to configure windows updates. Now I can't connect at all for the last three days. Help me guys.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    According to the description, you can not connect because it is blocked to wait please and you also get error message failed to configure windows updates.

    I would be grateful if you can provide us with the following information to help us better understand the issue:

    • What is the full error message / error code that you get on your screen?

    This problem may be due to updates pending.

    I suggest you to follow the below methods and check.

    Method 1:

    I suggest you to disconnect all external devices (printers, scanner, USB (universal serial bus) drives, etc...) Except the keyboard and mouse and then start.

    If this solves the problem, then add devices one by one after the other until you discover the piece of hardware causing the issue. Then we can update driver for this particular device.

    If the problem persists, try Method 2,

    Method 2:

    I suggest you to check if you are able to connect mode safe mode by using the following commands.

    Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed.

    Follow these steps to start the computer in safe mode.

    a. boot from the DVD of Windows 8.

    b. click on repair your computer.

    c. click Troubleshooting, and then select Advanced Options.

    d. Select the prompt option.

    e. Once you open the command prompt, enter the following command and press ENTER.

    Bcdedit/set {bootmgr} displaybootmenu Yes

    One time completed, please restart your computer, then press F8 to access screen on startup, then press F4 or 4 to enter Safe Mode.

    Check if the problem persists in safe mode.

    If the problem does not persist in Mode safe mode, then perform a clean boot in order to check if any third-party application is causing the problem, as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Note: After the boot minimum troubleshooting step, read the sections "How to reset the computer to start as usual after a clean boot troubleshooting" in the link provided to return the computer to a Normal startup mode.

    If the question did not resolve, try Method 3,

    Method 3:

    I suggest you to check if there is no update pending Windows needs to be installed.

    If so, then I suggest you to install the update and check if it helps.

    Hope this information helps. Answer the post with an up-to-date issue report to help you further.

    You connect under an administrator account on your computer?

    This problem may occur for one of the following reasons:

    a. you are not logged as a user belonging to the local Administrators group.

    b. you are not allowed to specific registry keys or files.

    c. the operating system cannot read the data in the file % Systemroot%\System32\Catroot2.

    Refer to the steps in the following Microsoft article and check if that helps.

    You receive an error message 'Administrators' only when you try to visit the Windows Update Web site or the Microsoft Update Web site: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316524

  • Slow connection (10-15 seconds) for Windows 7 Home Premium administrator accounts, but not standard accounts

    I have a new computer with a new installation of Windows 7 Home Premium.
    This is a pretty fast PC with an i7 2600 and an SSD.

    When I log on to an administrator account, it takes about 10-15 seconds, however when I connect to a standard account, it takes less than a second.

    I can create a standard account, sign a bunch of times immediately, then give him admin privileges and it suddenly starts to take 10-15 seconds. He switch back to the standard, and login is immediate.

    Any ideas what may be the cause?

    Please help me!
    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    It seems that the OS Vista was preinstalled on this laptop.
    This means that you have installed the Windows 7 system to your own hand.

    The point is that BIOS update requires a few essential tools of Toshiba.
    For example, the package of value added is an important software package and must be preinstalled on the laptop.

    If this isn't the case, install the PPV before trying to update the BIOS.

  • Toshiba M30: This price is not possible for this battery?

    D I'd like to know if: it is possible that some e-commerce sites sell (here in Italy) (12 cells, for Toshiba M30) PA3332U-1BRS battery at 70 euros (original battery made by Toshiba)?
    I ask this question because the official price in the Toshiba site is more than 200 euros! Trust to buy battery at 70 euros?

    Hello

    Well, I put t know if the battery on the e-commerce of Italy is original. I compared prices on the web and battery costs about 150.
    In my opinion, you should use the original battery Toshiba because the other battery with different properties can damage the laptop.
    In this case, you must contact the partner service Toshiba in Italy.

  • Pavilion Notebook PC 15 no: not possible for laptop replacement screen

    My mother bought a computer Notebook PC 15 non - Pavilion laptop touch screen. A few weeks later, the screen was smashed. I went to my local repair center (PC World) and asked if they could replace the screen. They said that they could not so I decided a have a good good to watch online and could not find a replacement of the exact screen to the laptop. We have seacrhed worldwide for a replacement and have not found one. Our guarantee covers only the technical problems and we didn't have the laptop a few weeks.

    We then rang the HP customer service and asked if they could fix it. They said that they could only fix it for £250 or completely replace the laptop. We thought it was ridiculous absoulety because it was worth as a cellar that was worth half of the laptop.

    I'm sick and tired and fed in place of the search for replacements of the screen and finding none. Right now we are sitting here and pay for a laptop that has a broken screen.

    What I can't wrap the head around if anyone one of these laptops purchased from you or PC world and had a comprehensive warranty on the laptop and they break the screen how they replace or repair? Because PC world could not afford to keep replacing each time a computer laptop full and nobody could not afford to continue to pay £250 to get the screen fixed.

    If this is the case your accessibility to replacements for products and services are terrible and your expensense are high especially when the screen itself is worth about £50 himself. This is disgracefull.

  • Is it possible for someone to monitor my Hotmail account?

    I am currently in dispute with a company, and am involved in legal proceedings. I'm very suspicious that my Hotmail is read by someone else. Communication between me and my lawyer is discussed by third parties.

    The most obvious thing is not not to use Hotmail.  First change your password to ensure that no one can access the account and then use a new e-mail account (encrypted preference) no one else knows.  Make sure your computer is safe, free of viruses and malicious software and is also password protected so you must open a session.

  • Fields do not refresh for bottombar common

    Hi all

    In my application, I have created a common bottombar for all scrrens even as for example of the buttonField given in link below.

    http://StackOverflow.com/questions/16798908/a-ButtonField-to-be-displayed-on-all-the-screens-of-BLAC...

    I've added a guage, labelfield for the timer button image display, playback / pause that is added to a horizontalfieldmanager. This Manager is common to all screens. When I click on any song. The song is game

    and GUE moves accordingly.

    My problem is that when I play all the songs on a screen as a screen everything works perfectly (as the gauge is in motion, indicating the exact time label). But when I pop (i.e. current screen (A) as for example B is displayed below the screen. But the content of it does not refresh.

    Please answer.

    Thanks in advance

    Fields can be displayed on one screen at the same time - they don't have a single Manager.  So if you have two displays at once with bottombars, you have two different bottombars.

    No doubt you have in the screen has put in place a reminder a few other 'wiring' update the content of the bottombar in this screen.  When change you the screen B, it has a different bottombar which is not wired to the top.

    As far as I KNOW, you have two possible solutions:

    (a) change your treatment so that when change you the display screen B, you remove the bottombar on A rack and use in screen B.  In the same way when you pop screen B to return to the screen has, you update the bottom bar again.

    (b) otherwise to have one screen and instead of swapping the screens to get from A to B, exchange the contents of the screen.  An option is to have a VFM A and B VFM, so A screen swapping on screen B is to remove A VFM and adding VFM B.

    It is not possible for me to help you choose which of the following two methods will be the best for you, because it depends on the application and how you try to write it.
