• How to remove the Standard user account password

  I am the only person to use my computer, as recommended that I've set up an admin and the standard user account. The admin is password protected, the standard user does not have to be. I accidentally answered a guest orders and entered a password and want to remove it.  When I try to remove it, I get the message windows cannot remove the password.     How can I remove this password?  I must stress that it is Windows 7.

  I have a Standard user account. I use the administrator account and realized that was not a right thing to do. However, now I can't have one of the images or files.

• The admin user doesn't have access to the Standard user account files

  OK, I'm lost.  It's crazy.

  After reading the reasons to do most of your work on/as a Standard user, I created a user account (quite a while) and have been using it since--and perhaps the way I did have this problem.

  If I remember correctly, this is how I did it.  I had a LOT of files under my old ID admin, so I created another Admin account and then replaced by former Admin account is a Standard user account.  I have been connected and makes every slot the user account Standard since then, with Windows poping a request my Admin password whenever he needed.

  Today, I needed to change a tax return of 2013 - and when I reloaded TurboTax last year and needed to get the State program, TurboTax wouldn't, claiming that I need to be logged in as an Admin user (I have not the popup asking my Admin password).

  OK, here's the problem.  When I have users to switch to my Admin account, after the passage, almost all the icons on my desktop disappear AND there are only a couple of files in my files of Documents Libraries\Documents\My.

  Everything to go.  I thought as an Admin user, I had access to everything.  How can I get all this stuff back (the icons on the desktop for example and other user account files, etc.)

  When I was logged in as an Admin user, it seemed that I could share files with other Useers - so I thought, Aha, that's how it works.  So I logged on my Standard user account - but the ability to share my files, etc. did not exist, at least as far as I can tell (that is, cannot find this option anywhere).

  If all goes well there is something simple that miss me that things work so that as an Admin user, I have access to other user accounts where - it is supposed to work, isn't.

  Obviously need help.  Thank you.  Ron in round rock

  In fact, I have nothing - as stated in the above comment, I could see all my files and folders User\ron

  -> This either means that the folder is already shared, or that UAC (User Account Control) is disabled on your PC. This isn't a good idea because it exposes your computer at serious risk.

  I can edit, delete, running back, I can't (or maybe since I am the only user on this machine, I should leave him alone).  Just curious as to what I did exactly.

  -> If you have shared with read/write access, you can create/edit/delete the files.

  And finally, as an Admin user, I have only 4 icons in the taskbar (IE, Chrome, Windows Media Player and Windows Explorer) - that doesn't sound right.

  -> You'll get exactly icons you placed here while it is logged on as admin user.

  And really Finally, with regard to the disappearance of all the icons on my desktop when logged in as Admin user.

  Each user has his own profile. Inside the profile, there is the user's desktop. Desktop shortcuts that are visible while connected as user A are not visible when you are logged on as user B because each user has his own office!

  There is one exception: most applications require at installation time if their shortcuts must be visible by all users. If you answer 'Yes', then the shortcuts will go into this common folder: C:\Users\Public\Desktop.

• I have a problem with the removal of the standard user account.

  Original title: deleting user Std W7 acct

  I have W7 Home Prem and you must remove the user account from std. I followed the steps in Control Panel and user acct is still seen on the login screen. I deleted the files manually also. No folder was created on the desktop also. I am the administrator of the computer, but do not understand why the user is always considered and is not being deleted.

  Here you go:

  1 log in under an administrator account.

  2. click on the start planet.

  3. type the three letters cmd in the search box.

  4. press on Ctrl + Shift + Enter

  5. click on "run as Administrator".

  6. type the following commands and press ENTER after each:
  net users
  (make a note of the name of the problem account. I call it XXX.

  NET user/del "XXX".
  (what message do you see?)
  net users
  (What's the account still here?)

• 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...

• The standard user account is prompted to create a password every 30 days.

  Original title: Standard (Windows 7) user accounts Password Protection

  I have an administrator account which is not password protected.  My wife has a standard user account is not password protected.  However, approximately every 30 days Windows asking my wife to change her password.  She can't go without creating a new password I have then to remove from his user account.  The process repeats every month.  It doesn't to my account, only his own.  What can I do to stop Windows to require a new password on the account of my wife when she is not protected in the first place?

  Microsoft seems to be to lean back in his attempt to make it difficult for people to create without expiry of passwords. Here is how to solve the problem:

  1 log in under an administrator account.

  2. click on the start planet.

  3. type the three letters cmd in the search box.

  4. press on Ctrl + Shift + Enter

  5. click on "run as Administrator".

  6. type the following command:
  NET accounts /MaxPWAge: Unlimited {Enter}
  Do you have just two accounts on your machine: it is not a good idea. Take a look at this current thread to see what evil trouble this can help you in.

• Howw can I use extensions I have installed as the admin for a standard user account? When I go on my Add ons under the standard user, no script is not an option. Thank you

  Hi, I'm using Vista and Firefox 3.6. I installed some popular addons such as no script and the web page of the trust for the admin account, but when I connect under the standard account with fewer rights, I do not have them available. The only way I can get to run is to right click and run as administrator which defeats the purpose to log on as a standard user. Thanks for any help you can provide.

• Screen black on the Admin account, but not on the standard user account

  Run a laptop Toshiba Satellite with Windows 7 Home ultimate. At startup, I log onto my user account. Some time later, I can access my admin account. Twice in two months after logging in to my admin account, the screen was black. The normal icons and the cursor appears. On the right side of the taskbar, the normal icons are displayed. On the left side of the taskbar, only the Start button appears. When I click on the Start button, it seems normal and programs will start when I click on them. However, the search of files and programs does not work.

  The first time that has happened for a reason system restore did not work. I guess my antivirus system work even if I had turned off temporarily. Basically, I created a new admin account and then copied the files from the old account to the new account admin.

  During the problem that I can connect and disable the account of user with no problems and everything works normally.

  I did a system restore and then I was able to access windows Explorer, but could not set the background picture, the libraries did not display correctly even if the files were there when I looked at the file of the user on the drive actually.

  It is a very confusing problem.

  RobertWeiner,

  You cannot run SFC without being Administrator utility. for which please select the control mode (go to the windows folder, search cmd.exe. you will find several results. In those, select the file showing in the folder System32 cmd. Click with the right button on the cmd file, and then select the option «run as asministrator» Then, type sfc/scannow in the cmd window. I think that now the System File Checker will work.

  don't forget, even you are in your admin account, you must click with the right button on the cmd file, then select the option «run as asministrator»

• How can I limit access (within my home group) for only certain user accounts on my 'portable' computer to view certain user accounts on my "desktop pc"?

  Hello

  I created a homegroup, in which my "Desktop PC" and "Notebook" are members. I have 4 user accounts on my desktop PC and 3 user accounts on my laptop. I wish that only certain user accounts on my laptop and desktop PC in order to access some user accounts on the other machine. I.e. "Sally" account user on my laptop only access account user 'Sally' on my desktop PC and vice versa. Rather than user account 'Sally' on laptop or desktop PC being able to access 'Martin' account on laptop or desktop PC.

  In other words, I wish that every Member of the family must be able to connect to my laptop or my desktop PC and access their files that are stored on the desktop originally.

  Can you help me?
