Missing shell login, but only for a specific user

Hi, I have a problem that I can not find a solution after a thorough search of google. I had two user accounts in vista - my account with administrator privileges and a second account for a friend. My system has crashed with BSD and when it restarts it let me access my own account but as soon as the connection is full it does not seem to load the shell and all I have is a white screen with no taskbar. Right click does not work and neither does Ctrl-Alt-Delete.

The second user account starts ok. By starting in safe mode, I created a new user with administrator privileges and it works fine. From there, I can access my old directories since the damaged account.

However, I need to restore my own account as soon as it has all my custom settings for the programs that I use, all my outlook etc settings and I don't want to have to spend a lot of time copying old books of account to the new account admin and then set up all the programs again.

Is there a section of the registry that deals with shells of the individual user where we could become corrupted when the system crashed? I looked through the registry but can only search strings for shots of the opening General session and are not specific to users.

Any help would be appreciated

Hello
 
Method 1.
Best thing you can do is to perform a system restore just before where the problem occurred.
I quoted an article that explains about system restore in Windows Vista.

 
 
Method 2.
Or you can fix the corrupted user profile by copying the damaged to the new user account settings. See the article below for more information.

I hope this helps.

Thank you, and in what concerns:

  • Rendering problem - all the text in my Flex application is not visible, but only for a single user

    Hi all

    I have a very strange problem... we had a trouble report from a user who said that she could not see the text in a Flex application, we are working on.  It works for everyone but this one user - and still unknown, it works for me when I open as the user, on the same hardware that is using this user.

    The only difference is the remote desktop client that is used.  In my test case, I connect to the Terminal Services Server in Windows 2003 server from my workstation, and it works.  It connects on the same Services Terminal Server in Windows 2003 workstation server, using the same credentials, and it does not work.  If I don't see it with my own eyes, I'm not sure I would have believed it.

    To prove that I'm not crazy, I made a record.  Check it out:

    My internet does not work correctly. I use an ethernet cable to connect my laptop (using windows 7) to the internet. However the connection is very bad. Sometimes it works but only for 30 minutes max, and other times it does not at all, connect saying that the cable is disconnected. I tried 3 different cables to 2 different ports, then maybe the problem comes from my laptop. It connects to the wifi networks fine but not with the cable.

    PJBarbour I would recommend working with your IT Department to solve your network problems.  Aid and the trial license is only a workaround and do not solve the root cause to be able to download the Adobe Application Manager software.

    There are other offers available currently in the creative cloud, i.e. Adobe Edge and Lightroom, you need to download and install using the Adobe Application Manager to the licensed software.

  • Define 'My task list' as a home page for a specific user

    Hello

    As long as administrator, I can not put the default homepage to "My list" for a specific user (at the moment of the user's default home page is a blank page and must be 3 steps to get to "My to-do list").

    I know how to change the home page in the connection of the user, but as an administrator, I do not have.

    Can you help me please?

    Thank you

    Margarida

    Johns suggestion will define Tasklist to the default view for the Application, but you can also set the default application a user sees by connecting to the workspace

    go to navigate-> administer-> workspace settings-> manage preferences

    Select the user to whom that you want to change the settings

    Under Default Startup Options, change the content of the Application and select the application you want for this user.

    Click on finish, and the user will see the change next time they connect.

  • Can I set parental controls on firefox for a specific user only?

    I use windows 7 and firefox 18.0.2. On my PC, I have my Admin account and my account of children. Now they arrive at an age that they are requiring Internet access for projects and so on, I wonder if I can put parental controls on firefox (by add-on?) as I have on windows, while master's log in to their account, firefox only allows access to what I received. In other words, limit the use of internet ONLY for their account, while I'll still be able to use firefox without restriction. I don't want to use another browser that I ' m not as familiar with just so I can put a parental control over everything on this browser. Any ideas?

    It did the trick. You can restrict any program or browser to their liking. Although I do not have someone else (Microsoft...) do it for me, it works as should be for now. Thank you for your time!

  • How to revoke the SELECT on a table for a specific user?

    Environment:

    SQL * 3.1 on Windows XP Pro SP3 Developer to connect to Oracle 11.2.0.3 EE on Solaris 10.5.

    I have table T with SELECTION privilege granted on this issue both a role and a specific user.

    I am using SQL * Developer to revoke the privilege SELECT on this table of the individual user and leave the role.

    I can see how to revoke the role by right-clicking on the table and goes to the privileges-> revoke but I can't find where to choose a specific user to revoke of.

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    -gary

    Hi Gary,.

    You are probably aware of the SQL syntax of base to make grant and revoke of SQL * more or the SQL Developer Worksheet:

    grant select on .T to ;
    revoke select on .T from ;
    

    To reach the equivalent to revoking of SQL Developer Connection Navigator...
    1. open the connection for
    2 expand the Tables node, and then open the object for table T browser.
    3. click on the grants tab and then, in its toolbar, select Actions->-> Revoke privileges
    4. Select in the drop-down list of the dialog box to remove user Action.
    5 shuttle privilege SELECT from the right back to the left, and then click apply.

    One would expect to be able to do the same thing from say the node under the node for the use of the SYSTEM for other users, but this isn't the case.

    Hope this helps,

  • Make sure that 'tour windows xp' appear again for a specific user

    When I create a new account, a little balloon appears in the bottom right of the screen next to the notification area that says 'Windows XP Tour'. After awhile, she disappears.

    Is it possible to bring it back and make it stay there all the time? How could I do? There must be a registry setting that keeps track of the amount of time since an account was created or how many connections, so how can I change it to always do this prompt? Can I use an editor hex old-fashioned thus.

    I have an old relative who keeps forgetting basic skills such as how to reduce a window, the use of the taskbar and sometimes forget that the large list of programs are now under 'all programs' (although I solved it using the start menu classic.) I don't know what I'll do when she gets a new machine with Windows 8, since this feature has been removed in 7). I'm tired of always prompting you to go to start-> all programs-> Accessories-> windows XP of the Tower, and I tried to add an icon on the desktop. I want just the reminder it so she can click it before calling me for really basic things I taught him a dozen years with his Windows 98 computer. This seems to happen more frequently, and I noticed that she is 'slide' into other things as well, so I'll try to make up for it.

    P.S. I'm not sure which category I should be put under. I settled on "ease of access" because I try to help and an elderly woman in her late 90s access her computer when she keeps forgetting the basic skills. The tour is... temporarily.

    Hi SlickRBCD,

    If I understand correctly you have a problem with guided tour of Windows XP still appearing on specific users. Do not worry, I'm here to help you with this question.

    Let us try the following steps and check if it works for you.

    1. Start the registry (Regedit.exe) editor.
    2. Locate and click the following key in the registry:
      HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Tour
    3. On the Edit menu, point to new, click Dword value, type RunCount, set the data value 1 (one) and then click OK.
    4. Exit the registry editor.

    Warning: Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

  • How do the capping of resources for the specific user?

    I'm looking for in the way of the capping of resources on the server for a particular user, I. This girl is the data analyst and it trows on my server a lot of crazy pl - sql code who eats CPU like a cake. I talked to her and she is ok with Cap resources to some extend so that other users do not suffer.

    After watching in profiles of boards and few options, I have more it seems like CPU_PER_CALL or CPU_PER_SESSION look like obvious candidates. They impose limits on hundreds of seconds, but I don't understand how can I know how many seconds I have to give him? Let's say for the sake of the argument, I attribute 10 minutes to him but at the same time that it connects, there barely a few people working on the server and the server, it's mostly idling. This kill will stop his session (call) even if there is no other people using this server? I would like to think more in terms of 30% of cpu at any time, or something like that.

    Any recommendations on how to address this problem is greatly appreciated.
