  Hi Alan,

  Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft Community Forums.

  According to the description of the problem, it seems that you have lost access to the files of data and images after doing a system restore.

  I would appreciate it if you could answer the following questions to help you best:

  1. Why did you perform a system restore?

  2 do you have questions about the computer?

  3. If so, please specify the question to better help you?

  4. What are the data and images file format?

   

  System Restore will return all your files non-system as documents, email, music, etc., to a previous state. These files of types are completely affected by the restoration of the system.

  Based on the current situation, I suggest you to Undo a restoration of the system after performing a system restore.

• Lost access to the preferences of the two priniters printer

  I lost access to the preference files to printer on the printers connected by USB 2 to a laptop running Win.

  If I understand correctly, Windows XP indeed cannot replace printer drivers in certain circumstances.  The best way to go is to make sure that the old (maybe corrupted) driver is deleted and then reinstall the printer using an installation package of fresh driver (usually obtained by downloading from the website of the printer mfr).

  1. Unplug the printer.
  2. Uninstall the software associated with the printer using the control panel > Add / Remove programs.
  3. Open Printers and faxes and delete the printer (right click > delete)
  4. In printers and faxes, click file > server properties > tab drivers.  Select the driver concerned, then click on remove.
  5. Restart the computer.
  6. Run the installation package that you downloaded.  Do not connect the printer until prompted by the installation program.

• User account is 'Kristin' but the C:\Users folder is called "holder". Why?

  Why the C:\Users folder called "Owner" when the user account is 'Kristin '? How can I change the name of the folder?

  You better not change this folder, it is the default name that create when configure you your Windows. If you rename then your PC may crash or it could give the error. This is the default name so don't worry. By the change of account name will change your account name and as long as this is the main issue he could not change.

• Lost access to the volume after upgrade 4.1

  Setup

  1 x HP c7000 blade box

  3 x HP BL460cG6 with dual Xeons 5540 and 48Gb of RAM, cards ISCSI HBA, QLogic

  3 x HP P4300 Lefthands

  4 x 3020 Cisco switches for blade in the back the c7000, 2 x dedicated to iSCSI traffic

  vSphere 4.1 Server

  The problem

  We went through the entire process of upgrading our server for vSphere 4.0 to 4.1 to manage a stand-alone ESXi 4.1 system, so our attentions turn to our 3 blades running ESXi 4.0u1 we used the built in Update Manager, downloaded the 4.0 to 4.1 upgrade file and we have improved our first blade and it did not notice problems as there put servers have was little used those.  We then upgraded the second and moved our main mail on her server.

  It was when we did that we started getting errors when people were losing connection to the exchange server, after some research we've seen of the event and we have been to see the error:

  "Lost access to the volume because of connectivity issues."  Recovery attempt is underway and the results will be available shortly"

  Then 10 seconds later we get the message:

  "Successfully restored access to the volume due to connectivity problems."

  This error only occurs on the blades of 4.1, we have restored a blade on 4.0 and errors are not displayed and no errors were reported with the servers on this blade.  As far as we can say it is not a network problem since all blades for iSCSI traffic flows on the same switches to the Lefthands, and we were losing the connection to volumes on the two Lefthands.

  We have a call connected with HP about this, but from the Yes, we cannot determine what is causing this problem and how to solve.

  So any help is greatly appricated

  Thank you

  Dave

  This is due to a combination of ESX(I) 4.1, QLogic and version Lefhand SAN/IQ 8.5 with the 10092-00 patch version. I did a blogpost on his problem:

• New user needs access to the old user profile files

  Windows 7 Pro on a W2008 domain, the latter leaves the company; User_B will take his place and needs access to all files (including e-mail - WindowsLiveMail);  There are currently three email accounts configured in the profile of the latter.  What is the best way to give User_B access to the data?  I tried to copy the data from the profile folder to the folder profile User_B, but when I try to open a document (Office 2002), I get "there was a problem sending the command to the program".

  When I tried to copy the profile via the control panel... Settings, user profiles, the option "copy to" was not available.

  There must be a relatively simple way to do this.  Help, please.

• 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.

• Windows 7 Pro seddenly denies access to the local settings folder

  I log on my Win7 PC as an administrator and sometimes see the subfolders and files in my Local Settings folder. There has never been a problem for several years. But a few days ago I tried to navigate to the outlook.pst file is stored, but clicking on the local settings folder generated the message "local settings is not accessible. Access denied. "

  I haven't changed my user profile since I implemented this PC in 2011 and have not changed the password in quite some time. My only recent system change came after I received a warning from Windows Tuesday that trash has been altered. To resolve this problem, I followed the steps in a thread of Microsoft Answers by activating the display of hidden system folders and files, and then deleting the file $recycle.bin. Windows regenerated the trash and I disabled the display of hidden system files. The next day, I discovered my access problem.

  What should I do to fix my access?

  Thanks for letting us share this resolution.

• Shared "Top N" gets access denied - the custom user interface

  I shared some dashboards for a standard user to vCops the custom user interface, and the "Top N" widgets do not work.

  So far, everything has been fine.

  I shared a dashboard home, as well as a vCops of the box and a pak of SAP management dashboard.

  All widgets 'Top N' display 'access denied to the requested page.

  Other parts of the same work of dashboard (home).

  Any thoughts?

  There is a permission that you add to the group to which you share the dashboard. There are permissions to a 'Top - N analysis' you must give to this group. In the contrary case, the refusal of access will appear when users in this group are attempting to access the dashboard in question.

• Delete the default user folder

  I recently bought a new laptop and give my old one to my son. I would like to change the user folder by default of my name to his, but am unable to do so. I created a new folder of the user with his name and copied all the default files and folders inside. The old folder of the user who was my original default folder is empty, but when I try to delete, the message window indicates that windows is 14.3 GB of content recycling and then did not finish remove it because it indicates also the folder is open and in-use. I'm afraid that my old (default) user folder and the new are linked somehow, and if I managed to remove an old, I can finish to remove all. Can someone help me complete the process correctly?

  Sorry, you're going to have about it the wrong way. The "Default" folder is a model that is used for all new accounts. Do not delete and and you should not change it unless you know exactly what you are doing. When you create a new account (for example, 'John') and log in under him for the first time then what follows is done automatically:

  1. A profile file c:\Users\John is created.
  2. The content of the default folder is copied to c:\Users\John.

  There is no need to make a copy. Let Windows do its job instead!

• After an automatic update, lastnight (13 December), has lost access to the internet through the guest account.

  Original title: Guest account Internet connection

  I am using an account on windows 7

  There has just been an automatic update, lastnight (13 December), and now I've lost access to internet through the guest account.

  I think that because of the update, the administrator must log or something, but I'm lost what to do. The internet worked for the guest before the update account and I do not have the administrator password. The administrator has not used the computer because I had an internet connection, as they went on vacation. I'm looking after their cats!

  Any help would be great.

  See you soon

  Hi Tom,

  Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.

  Since you lost the internet connection after updating, you may need to update the NIC drivers to retrieve the connection. This is possible only if you have administrator privileges.

  For more information, see the article:

  What is a guest account?

  However, you can check if you can try the steps in the article to resolve the problem. If this isn't the case, you may need to wait for the administrator to return the party to the same difficulty.

• Lost access to the programs, not a virus or registry problem. Lost the rights to the user (?) but cannot access restore or modify user accounts

  1st, I tried almost every fix suggested on this relatively common problem with no joy.  It is not a virus, unless it's something very new not found by all the usual scanners.

  Only way to access the programs EXE is to run the command prompt by going to with CTRL - tour of the new task (run) in the Task Manager menu and then navigate to the appropriate directory and run the program from the command prompt.   Run virus checker and run various registry fixes recommended here with no joy.  Safe mode does not help with the launch of the EXE.

  Because I get the 'Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file.  You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.  When I try to run an exe from a link, I think I have lost the user privileges.  But, since I can't change the accounts of users or the restore, I can't try to do anything there.

  This problem occurred after uninstalling several old unused programs followed by performing a disk defragmentation.  (everything is done using Microsoft System Tools).  PC worked after doing these things in vain after the next reboot.

  Curiously, I CAN start the web browser from the start menu to post this message.

  Another clue: I can't start programs by clicking on them, but I CAN run the program by opening a file type associated with this program, i.e., opening a file named text.doc will cause Word to open.

  I am a fairly experienced user, but I'm stumped.  Any suggestions?

  Found solution...

  Looked user accounts change program but cannot find or identify it was so impossible to try it.

  I was finally able to identify (in trial & error) the restore program and run it using the command window.

  The program (rstrui.exe) was found in C:\Windows\System32\Restore\rstrui.exe

  I was able to run and to restore to a date when this problem started and that fix.   Still don't know what was the problem of the root but happy to be able to fully use this PC back again.
   
  Thank you to everyone who made suggestions.

• Lost access to the IDENTITY of the USER when connecting... Went to unknown user

  I worked last night for a few hours and installed two products ASHAMPOO (their Photo and Office Automation) and everything worked very well after that restart and I made sure that everything was fine and was working properly with the new program and those that exist as well.

  I woke up this morning and turned on the computer and an error came up saying it couldn't find the USER regular (or standard), but there was no name of the user and it is then open to an empty office.  I did a system restore to yesterday but STILL NOTHING.  I went to the USER ACCOUNTS from the control panel and don't see any other than comments and administrator designated account, but both are empty files and folders and items on the desktop. I see again all MY programs and files that I used when I look in Windows Explorer, but have no way to import to a new identity (or user) I created for all.  I checked to see if the files and folders had any rhyme or reason, but it seems that the USER account I am looking for is not able to be accessed by all means.  I see a folder on the C: drive, which seems to have my correct links to the office and I see as "Program Files" as well as with my programs (with the exception of Outlook Express (which is ALSO urgent). Now, I can also see on four accounts of user unknown (only through Windows Explorer - not in the field of user accounts) that I don't recognize, and all are empty of one of my articles information or office.  I desperately need to find a way to get the computer to use my USER account, so I can get my desktop computer, programs and send them.

  PLEASE HELP ME!

  This is much like a corrupt user profile.  It shouldn't be too hard to recover from this.  Try this Microsoft article:
