Migration Windows 7 user settings without administrator permissions

I'm in a corporate environment in which users have permissions to administrator on desktop computers / laptops.  We are running Windows 7 Enterprise.  I'm looking for an alternative to Windows Easy Transfer (requires administrator rights) to migrate my user settings to another computer in Windows 7.  Data are easy enough to do what we have space on the network drive.  Is there a method of user level to save all the settings such as desktop, Favorites, Microsoft Office settings preferences, etc.?

  • How to restore default settings for administrator permissions?

    On my laptop, I am running Windows Vista Home Premium with all Service Packs, and recommended updates.
    I messed up inadvertently administrator permissions so that I can't access, move, or delete certain folders / files.  Please - how to restore the default permissions?

    There is no way to do it automatically. Restore the system to a point before that the amendments may help.

    This article gives advice: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313222

    If you can open a command prompt (see: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Command-Prompt-frequently-asked-questions ), you may be able to use the Takeown command and icalcs to set the permissions to the usable values.

    You may need to compare the permissions on a system that works. The Sysinternals AccessChk and AccessEnum utilities can be useful.

  • Windows 7 it's without a permit after changing the hard disk (disk image)

    Hello
    I get a frequent reminder of microsoft my pre installed windows in unlicensed. I went through the process of checking online, but this has not helped (prompted him download fails during the installation). I recently installed a new hard drive to a disc image so assume it is related to this. When I check computer / pproperties, all looks fine, it says windows is activated & indicates the product ID.

    Can anyone suggest what I should do to get more of this?

    Retrieve the laptop using the Toshiba recovery disc after the HARD drive was replaced?

    The operating system which is part of the Toshiba recovery image has already been activated so the new activation should not be possible and necessary!

    Don t know what is the problem here, but I recommend you to reinstall the operating system once more using Toshiba Recovery disk (I hope that you have created in the past)

  • How do I allow users without administrator privileges install fonts?

    I need allow users to install fonts without administrator privileges.  Googling landed a few eccentric tools, but this isn't an option... I can change the entries in registry, file & directory permissions, use Windows commands in batch scripts, etc. but I can not use any third-party downloads.  In addition, just save them to the police for the session cache is not enough... they should be able to install fonts in C:\Windows\Fonts directory.  It's OK, if they can not uninstall a font, allowing that could remove a font that Windows requires.

  • Windows 8 without administrator privileges

    I did a stupid thing (I think)

    I wanted to get rid of the connection whenever I launched windows 8
    I followed the instructions and the PC started very well without connection, unfortunately the I used because the connection does not account/user administrator privileges, at least I think that's what happened.
    The result is that I can now none liked install/uninstall/change programs, items or laptop settings. Whenever I'm trying to reset or alter anything UAC wants the "Yes" box ticking, but it is grayed (because I don't have administrator privileges)
    Tried to update it's just the same thing!
    I liked windows 8, but I quickly fell out of love with her!

    Thanks for the reply

    4. no change was possible (now resolved)
    5 a on windows 8
    a. does not work

    I have now solved this problem
    1. start immediately after the splash screen and before windows logo press SHIFT - F8 (this may take a number of attempts to bring up the list of recovery)
    2. Select option 4, Safe Mode, allow launch safe mode
    3. I now had administrator privileges
    4. right click Select corner low LH run, type netplwiz (according to the instructions of the internet above)
    5. change all users (except comments) administrator - activate
    6. restart.
    PC now, back to need to connect whenever it starts, but I now have total control.
  • How is is updated product without administrator access on Windows 7?

    I clicked on the update for Firefox v19.0.2 last night on a Windows 7 laptop.

    Everything else on the laptop is the current version.

    I was logged in as a user who does not have admin access to install anything on the laptop. I was expecting the dialog box appears asking me to enter an admin password to allow changes on the laptop.

    This dialog never appeared, but the update has been completed successfully and Firefox shows the latest version on the subject...

    How is - that bypass you the security on my laptop?

    I'm afraid that if you can do it, so can everyone else out there. I thought that I was protected from things being installed on my computer without my permission...

    How do I protect myself against unauthorized in the future changes?

    Thank you for your help,

  • User account Windows 7 and security - my administrator account is now a guest account

    I seem to have a complex problem, regarding Windows 7 Professional, running on a Toshiba laptop.

    I recently changed my C: drive security features to make the files more accessible to my PC desk top of the page. I went through the process to allow the authorization: Windows Explorer, Driver C:, properties, security, group or user names:

    I selected my user account, and then you click on change. I then highlighted my name of user account and when permissions for authenticated users box below and clicked under the column allow "full control". The system when by a long time to change the permissions.

    Today, I tried to access the files on my laptop on my desk, all seemed very well! I was able to copy files back from both sides through my network. However, today, I noticed that my user account has become a guest account, while he was an administrator account. My administrator account is no longer visible.

    I tried the various patches available online in safe mode. Nothing helps.

    When I start my laptop in safe mode, I see only my administrator account and not my user account. When I start my laptop computer in normal mode, I see that my user account and not my administrator account. My account user has full administrative rights before that.

    How can I get my a new administrator account user account?

    Please clarify these aspects:

    1 you are referring to an administrator account.  There really the administrator username?  If so, this is the built-in Administrator account.

    2. Why do you say that your account is a guest account?  If you go into Control Panel, [view by - small icons, if necessary], user accounts is your normal account appear as a Standard user account?  That at least seems logical, the account guest is something very specific.

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

    If my assumptions were correct then

    A reboot in safe mode and use of the built-in Administrator account to create a new Admin-level account.  Password protect and write the password somewhere down or create a password reset disk.

    B connect to the new account Admin to test is everything is OK.

    C use where the other account to edit your account usual back to being an Admin-level account.  Then sign in to ensure that it works correctly. Restart normally [not in safe mode].

    D disable the built-in Administrator account if it appears in the Control Panel, [view by - small icons, if necessary], user accounts, Manage another account.  I don't think it will be.

    E if you want to check out so you can now reboot into safe mode, and the built-in administrator will be gone from here too.  It appears automatically in safe mode if no other Admin account exists in the system.

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

    On the procedure that started it all off, the permissions change.  Windows does not expect this large-scale change and I invite you to reinstall Windows, since you do not know in what condition the system is now in - Windows probably does not know either.

  • Windows 8: "we cannot connect without these permissions!" with Facebook

    I have a very bizarre and unexpected behavior in Windows 8:

    -With any app or desktop application that attempts to connect with Facebook (Photos, Photo Gallery, Messenger, etc.). I get in the part 'connect' and I actually have to GRANT access to Microsoft for what they want to to allow me access to.
    -As soon as confirmation of the access granted, Windows 8 think about 5 seconds and then raises the following message:
    "We cannot connect without these permissions."
    "You allow us to do the following on Facebook:
    And then used lists access Facebook Chat, post to Facebook like you and manage your notifications.
    -If I'm actually in my accounts settings Facebook Apps, Microsoft App is actually GRANTED all these permissions that Windows 8 applications are rejected!
    Any suggestions? Anyone else suffering from this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Rafa.

    Hi everyone, this is not a problem to solve, it's a reality :)

    Integrations of Facebook with the operating systems Windows, applications and services is no longer supported (or available somehow).  Recent changes to the Facebook interface that Microsoft used have made is no longer compatible.

    I'm sorry to say that the only alternative is to use the Facebook application instead: download here

  • Running forms of the PC client without administrator privileges on Windows 7

    As company policy is aimed at users have locked down PCs without administrator privileges on Windows 7, we met with a number of problems we couldn't solve completely.

    The only way we found to date that worked (sort of) was at the first mark the administrator user, connect to the Weblogic Server to run applications compiled for the first time and accept certificates and jar files downloaded and revoke admin rights after that.

    No one has found another way to make this work?

    This should not be the case.  Like you, I work in an environment where standard users are not granted administrative privileges to their workstations and we did not have this problem.  We did something different - that I am aware of the - client side to allow the download.  JAR files are stored in the Java Cache Directory which should be open to all users.  Could your administrators have changed the privileges to this directory?

    Y at - it a registry key to check if the current user can install a windows updates? also, what registry key that is used to verify whether a user is an administrator or not. Thank you...

    There is no need to check the registry keys to see if you can install updates or not.

    You just need to be connected to an administrator account to install the Windows updates.

    You can check if you are in an administrator account by trying taks simple administrattor. For example. Try to change the time system.

    If you can change the time, you are an administrator; no other.

    This copy of Windows is not genuine
    When I try and use Publisher, he said that this copy is without a permit. I got Windows 7 when I bought a Dell Inspiron 560. Since then, I've replaced all the components of the computer besides than the hard drive (which has the OS on it). I don't know what happened, and I know that I have not forged any Microsoft product. Can someone tell me please how to fix this?

    you use an OEM SLP key on a motherboard retail. It simply doesn't get it. An OEM SLP key should interact with the bios slic table in order to activate. A motherboard retail is not a slic table.

    You can buy a genuine windows.
    OEM SLP: This key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes to the factory. This key is designed to work with the special instructions isn't on the hardware of this manufacturer.
