Is it possible to set up a Vista account which can only download "microsoft updates" (that is, no other non-microsoft files can be downloaded or installed)?

Hello

Is it possible to set up a Vista account which can only download "microsoft updates" (that is, no other non-microsoft files can be downloaded or installed)?

I know that you can create a 'guest account ' with essentially the rights of internet browsing. I would, however, allow for some more flexibility, such as if there are microsoft updates or antivirus updates, this account is permitted to accept these files. I fear that non-microsoft files such as google or yahoo toolbars settle.

Thanks to anyone who can help us with that.

There is no installation in Windows to allow this, and I can't say I've ever heard an Add on for Windows that would allow this.

  • Can I set up a guest account which limits the access to my computer at home.

    I'm going to do a home Exchange next month and want to leave a computer for guests to use.  Can I set up a guest account which limits the access to my computer at home. Specifically, I want to limit the client's access to Internet Explorer so that they can check your e-mails and surf the web.  Is this possible?

    Do NOT enable the guest account. The guest account is NOT designed for occasional access, it is a special system account. It is a security risk because it allows anonymous access on your machine, apart from anything else. This is why it is disabled by default.

    Just create an account user Standard, called 'Visitor', or something like.

    Make sure that the Admin account has a password and tell them it.

    Also, make sure that all users on the computer ALSO have a strong password.

    That's all you need to do.

  • Is it possible to set up a site with a read-only ftp access

    I have a production server and a development server and work on a project with the non - DW users. Often, I need to download files from the production server, but never need to download to it (it's someone other responsibility).

    I have two FTP accounts for the production server, one with unlimited access with read-only. I would like to implement a DW site that uses the read-only account to get the files from the server. It would also prevent me from accidentally upload on this server.

    Unfortunately, I get permission denied errors when accessing the account read-only. I guess that's because the account does not write permission. I checked that the credentials work by FTPing the site using FileZilla and uploading a file.

    The DW FTP requires write to a GET operation on a file?

    Nevermind, answered this myself. It is possible, but the user must configure the site with the correct host directory.

  • On a single vista account, I get "choose the program you want to use to open this file" when I click on any program icon.

    Help!

    Hello

    Just in case there are persistent pieces of malware here is the method of complete elimination.
    .exe question difficulty in the next message.

    Try Mode safe mode with networking - repeatedly, press F8 that you start.

    The best two methods allow scanners to run and/or AV.exe out of the way or removing.

    1.
    CTRL SHIFT ESC - task manager OR right click on the taskbar - task manager

    Process tab - complete the process on AV. EXE and continue with the uninstall Guide.

    If necessary use start - computer or Windows Explorer to navigate to

    C:\Program Malwarebytes Anti - Malware\mbam.exe or where it is installed - if
    necessary right click on the shortcut of Malwarebytes - Properties - tab - target line to see where it
    is installed.

    Right-click on it and rename it to ZZMbam.COM (or something different than now) and
    Double-click it, and then run it like this. You can rename it back later. Do the same with
    other programs according to the needs. Use this method to others as needed - NOT assume all
    a program deletes all or that it is no other malicious software.

    ---------------------------------------------------

    2.
    Another method is to use them:

    Use Process Explorer to "Suspend" the process will not stop

    Then use AutoRuns to delete the malicious program startup items.

    Now use UnLocker to delete the files in the malware.

    You may need to do a file at a time.

  • Is it possible to create a XP restore point which can be accessed by Windows 7?

    I'm about to install Windows 7 on my laptop, but if I don't, I'll go back to XP. Yet is there a way to create a restore point while my laptop has XP on it, then install Windows 7 and then, if I want to go back to XP, just click this restore point? I don't think so because I'm going to use a system recovery disk to put Windows 7 on it, and I think that the drive will wipe the drive. It's just that it was so hard to get Windows XP on my laptop in the first place, and I don't want to go through this hassle again.

    You will not be able to go back to XP, once you install Windows 7.  If you want the ability to do what you describe, then you will need to create an 'image' - style backup of your entire drive of Windows XP system you could use later to rewrite your drive hard everything back to where it was.  Two popular image-style backup programs are Norton Ghostand Acronis True Image .

    Original title: Multi users

    Is it possible to set up for multiple users on the same computer to avoid entering the email and password every time that a new user want to check emails?

    Hello

    Welcome to the community forums of Microsoft and thanks for posting the question. According to the description, you need help in the creation of multiple user accounts. I've surely you will help find a solution on the issue.

    What is the operating system installed on the computer?

    User accounts, several people can easily share a single computer. Each person can have a separate user account with unique settings and preferences, such as a screen saver or desktop background. User accounts control files and programs users can access and what types of changes users can make to the computer. As a general rule, you'll want to create standard accounts for most computer users.

    If you use Windows Vista or Windows 7, see the article below:

  • Not possible to set the HDMI output as default screen on Qosmio G30

    It is not possible to set the HDMI output as default screen! This works only with VGA output. There is no option in the BIOS. According to support, Toshiba will plan any action for this useful feature.

    I use an external TFT with HDMI adapter DVI Cable and I want to have as default screen TFT. With VGA, it will work without problems.
    Any solution?

    Best regards

    Hi Nicolas

    Very interesting question! In my view, HDMI port is to be used with the HD ready LCD TVs or plasma. Combination of connection HDMI and HD DVD movies, you can really have a HD on your TV picture quality.

    As you know the port is a standard VGA port to connect external displays. The image quality is very good and, in my opinion, you should not use HDMI port for the same. Do you perhaps the best image quality?

  • Is it possible to set up workstations with 2 or 3 monitors each in MultiPoint Server 2011?

    Hello everyone!

    I have studied MultiPoint Server documents, but have not found the answer: is it possible to set up workstations with 2 or 3 monitors each in MultiPoint Server 2011? For example I have computer with graphics HD6970 and HD4790 (more HD4290 on board) and to 'split' in several positions - a high performance graphic with 3 monitors and 2 connected to HD6970 or 3 other workstations for internet/treatment of text with each, a lcd panel connected to HD4790 and HD4290 cards. So I could build small desk with a powerful station :).

    In other words, using windows terminology guide, one might wonder it is able to have the teachers with more than one monitor computer, while students have jobs with a monitor?

    (Subsidiary question is: what Eyefinity, is working for MultiPoint - assuming that the station with more than a graphics card?) Can't find any information in the deployment also guide).

    Kind regards

    Please transfer your inquiry in the most appropriate in Forum Windows Multipoint Server.  Thank you!
