M70: Permissions, wallpaper and limited user

Hello

I spent some time setting (i.e. a few days of mucking around) upwards a new portable computer M70 (PSM70A-T00E), which has WinXPSP2 preinstalled (on a recovery DVDs of all-but-useless without the 'expert' option alleged, but that is another story).

When Windows was first installed, I configured the administrator (by default) and the account of a user (called "aburdeni"). By default, both accounts have administrator permissions.

After setting things upwards from the way I like them, I am now trying to convert the user of an account account limited.

The usual method of "-> Control Panel-> user accounts-> change account type" does not work as it claims that there is only one account on the system (even if there is one with the username "Administrator", which he ignores reason any).

To replace it, I logged as an administrator and run lusrmgr.msc. I then added the "aburdeni" user to the user group and them deleted in the administrator group.

Things broke.

What I noticed now is that:
* The default theme of Toshiba's not (no wallpaper, just a light gray background)
* Panel back to the default line style, and clicking on the give-it-to-me-the-way-I-like-it text on the left side has done nothing.
* Other (taskbar, start menu style) settings back to the default value.

There are probably countless other things that broke, but I have yet to find them.

Affecting the power user account instead of the user made no difference. Things only started working again when I added the account in the administrator group.

Is it possible to have things to work while connected as an unprivileged user?

Thank you
Adam

BTW: I'm from Australia, if that makes a difference (different settings for installation by dΘfaut?)

Hello Adam

As far as I know that there is no difference in what country you live because the operating systems are the same for all countries and some different settings according to the country are not known to me.

Please remove all created accounts. Connect as long as administrator, and then create a new account. First step is to give the name for this new account and click Next. Second step is to define this user (Administrator rights or limited same user). Choose limited option and complete the wizard.

Use Windows + L key combination and try to log on as a limited user. To avoid any problems. The background image and everything will be set as if for the first time.

You can do a little test and try to start the public electricity service Toshiba. You will see that there is no chance to start and change anything. It can be used only by the administrator.

Please try again. It must works.

Good luck!!!

    What can I do?

    (Satellite Pro 2100, Windows XP Pro)

    Well, I'll try to add change the rights on this tool.
    You can select energy saver and change permissions on the (limited) user name.
    Change for total control.

    In addition, you can set the energy saver shortcut in the startup of the limited account folder.
    I think that the path should looks like this:

    In this case, the energy saver should start at the beginning of the year and should appear in the taskbar.

  • TOSHIBA Power Saver does not work with the limited user account

    Hello
    This same question has been posted in 2006 - not by me - with no successful response. I try again.
    If you create a user with the account of restrictions (member of the local USERS group) under XP, it cannot manage or power options Windows embedded and the Toshiba Power Saving tool.
    I managed, working on the file and registry permissions, to have power options Windows works. But I can not yet launch the Toshiba Power Saving tool, it always skip - rises the box 'you have no rights. "

    Is there really anything I can do to work around this problem?

    Thank you

    Yes:

    Log in as administrator
    Run the Toshiba Power Saver
    Go to "configuration Options".
    Check "Allow Limited user to change settings"

  • Satellite M40-307: accessibility utility does not work with the limited user account

    Hello everyone,

    I have a Satellite M40-307 (PSM44E), and I had a problem with the utility "accessibility", which displays an icon in the notification bar of Windows XP, to inform the user if the "Fn" key is active or not.

    This utility would not work for the administrator would not worry so much, because the administrator is supposed to know what he does. But the limited user doesn't have access, that bother anymore.

    In Administrator, this utility works quite well. But during a session of limited user, if I try to launch it in [runas / user: admin "C:\Program Files\TOSHIBA\Windows Utilities\TACSPROP.exe"],
    I am replied that the file TCMSVR. DLL is not found. If I launch normally, a message tells me that this utility requires that I am logged on as administrator.

    So, what can I do to use this utility normally, i.e. in a limited user Sessiona? *

    Hello

    Well, you should try to activate the rights for the TACSPROP.exe.
    To do this, you must enter the operating system as an administrator.
    Choose the application, right click. There is a Security tab. Here, you need to activate the permissions for all users.

  • You want to change the registry to restrict limited users.

    IOriginal title: backup of registry permissions.

    I found a few customizations that involves changing the registry permissions rather than the entries to allow limited users to do some harmless things that seem to require an account administration.
    Things like change the profiles of power and using Java.

    I am well aware of the importance of a key export before making changes, but which affects permissions, or just the contents of the key, if I try ot restore it? Given the format of a REG file, it seems to be just the content.

    Creating a system restore point be the best way to make the backup in case I live? I think what happens if I accidentally click on the wrong thing and take away the permission rather than add it. Of course, I intend to be careful, but I never know if I'll be surprised or something and saw things. A lesson I learned at the time of the Apple II when my cat (may she rest in peace, I have not had since) jumped on the keyboard and the FUBARed the floppy disk in the computer.

    Hi SlickRCBD2,

    If you export a key before making changes to the registry, it will not affect the set of permissions on your computer.

    I suggest you create a system restore point before making any changes on the computer.

  • Firefox not to honor the "Offline Web content and data user" settings

    Firefox still accept web content offline and the user data, I have never any notification regardless of the 'tell me when a website asks to store data for use in offline mode' parameter (in preferences > advanced > network).

    I also completely erased all: permissions tab regardless of the "all sites > offline storage" storage offline implementation is always allowed.

    Here is one - step by step to reproduce my problem.
    1. make sure all: permissions is clear
    2 make sure that the list to: Preferences > network > "the following Web sites are..." "is that clear
    3. close the preferences window
    4 go to go to http://appcachefacts.info/demo/ ... No notification about the offline cache will appear.
    5. open the preferences, the list of preferences > network > "the following Web sites are..." »
    Will fill up now with http://appcachefacts.info (1.1 MB)

    This article list persists even after closing the browser window and re - open.
    This happens with a total disregard for the settings described in the first paragraph.

    I found a related question, but it's old and archived:
    https://support.Mozilla.org/he/questions/981189

    Firefox will store small amounts (less than 50 MB) of data without asking permission.

    • offline - apps.allow_by_default; true
    • offline - apps.quota.warn; 51200

    You can switch the pref in offline mode - apps.allow_by_default to false to make Firefox ask.

  • Adblock Plus does not load in firefox 11 and Vista user limit

    I am running Windows Vista, fully patched. I downloaded Adblock Plus as an administrator, but not as a limited user. The menu bar does not work as a limited user, but the Firefox button.

    I used the download from the Mozilla website button, so I don't know which version of Firefox 11 I had. The problem has been resolved. It seems that the upgrade from 3.6 to 11 was a little more Firefox could deal smoothly. I use Norton 360 and waited until the toolbar become compatible with Firefox (that Symantec says he did to version 8) before the upgrade.

    I've improved by being logged on as administrator, and then configure Firefox as I wanted including the add-on Adblock Plus. I disconnected then connected as a limited user. At this point, the menu bar has failed, bookmarking did not work and did not all trying them to install Adblock Plus. After closing Firefox and re-opening a couple of times (as well as using IE9 to see if this browser had problems too - he didn't) Adblock has finished loading and the menu bar has started working. It seems that something in the process of installing just did not finish first. Everything seems fine now.

    Most PC manufacturers who don't give you the disks give you a partition on your hard drive that contains the images of the disks so that you can burn yourself.  You should check out.

    When you say "change settings in both accounts' exactly what are the parameters what do you mean?  It is normal that many Windows settings to be on a per user basis.  For example. the desktop background is a 'definition' which is completely independent for each user.  You cannot set up a wallpaper for a user and hope that it displays desktop of another user.
