Mysterious new user accounts

• Cannot create a new user account

  Hello and good evening,

  I have a laptop HP Pavilion I've had for about a month. I was creating a HP recovery disk. As I didn't have the right amount of available disks, I cancelled it. The next time I went to do the same thing, there was a message in the HP support assistant saying that the recovery disk was no longer available.  So I created an image of the system in case I ever needed to recover my OS. It was stored on drive C. I copied and pasted into the recovery d drive [I don't know if you can do].

  Anyway, some things have changed after I created the image of the system. The C: disk OS folder has been renamed Windows C:.

  I felt a little uncomfortable about the whole, so I thought that I create another user account. Hoping that this would also restore my HP Recovery disk.

  In any case, I went to do this and all seems to be OK, install applications and so on, until he came to a blue screen that says "Please wait". He remained on the screen for about 2 hours, after which the battery was flat. I repowered it and he started upward. He returned the same screen. I took the battery and plugged a USB based recovery disk. This led me to the Welcome screen, and I could log into my original user account.

  I'm not game to try again to create another user account in case something terrible happens and it does not restart.

  What should I do?

  1. create another user account give back me my recovery drive originalHP?

  2 could have another go to make him a corruption on my hard drive?

  I don't know if it's an HP or a problem of Windows 8, so I posted both.

  I hope someone can help

  Hi jcdck,

  I see that you have some problems with your recovery disk. Create a new user account won't get your recovery disk. The same file structure will be implemented regardless of the user account. You should not generally be copy or save anything on the recovery disk.

  You should be able to restore your PC to factory settings , but you need to back up personal files on an external drive or burn to a CD. It might not get your recovery back disc because this isn't the Windows function of HP.

  Your only other option is to order the recovery CD for your model. If you can provide me with your product number I should be able to get your link to order. Are which country you located?

  Thank you

• I just created a new 'user account '. Now all my files are considered to be "hidden".

  original title: hidden files

  I just created a new 'user account '. Now all my files are considered to be "hidden". "I have thousands of .psd and jpeg files). Is it possible to change this for all files in that account without having to access each?

  I don't know what caused the problem, but you can go to control panel | Folder options | Display and enable the display of the hidden files and folders.

• I went to set up a new user account, but it deleted my old one with all my files. What can I do?

  I've just set up a new user account for someone else, but now I can access is no longer my own user account that had all of my files, pic, and setting.  How can I get this back account that has all my files on it?

  Initially, you were using the original built-in Administrator account.  When you do this and create a new user, the built in Administrator account becomes hidden (but it's still there).  It seems that you are OK with that, but you want your files transferred to your new user profile.  In this case, you must follow the same procedure as you would if the old profile was corrupted.  To claim that the administrator account has been corrupted, and then follow the steps in the following article:

• I created a new user account, but it does not appear to connect to it. (Vista Home Premium)

  I created a new user account for my admin account.  I tried to create a standard account and I tried to change to an administrator account.  The only place that this account presents itself is managing it new user accounts in Control Panel.  If I try to change user or sign out and then sign back, it never gives me the possibility to sign until the new user account that I created.

  I read another post that said to try to restart in safe mode, what I tried without success.

  I also don't get no error messages, so I was not trying to fix anything, given that I'm not sure it's broken and I don't want to do something worse.  I only use this computer and Vista for a few days now, so I hope it's something simple I'm missing because I am not yet familiar with the operating system.

  Thanks for any help you can offer.

• New user account, cannot access documents

  You are using windows vista home, I opened a new account and left the old account as the administrator account.  Now, in the new user account, I don't have the documents.  How can I get new access to user account for all of the documents that were already on the computer?  Now, just the administrator can access them.

  In each user account, there is a PUBLIC folder.

  Public folders are open (accessible) to all users.

  Back to your admin account > transfer document files/records in the Public record > logon for the user account > go to the Public folder > you should see all the documents.

  How to "transfer" documents in the Public folder?
  You can use one of the following methods...

  1. drag and Drop option.

  2 copy and paste option.

  3. copy to or move to the right click options.

  * My favorite is the options copy to or Move To.

  If you don't have them in your context menu, here is the tutorial to add.

  A method is simpler.

• Prevent the creation of new user accounts in Vista

  Is there a way to prevent the creation of new user accounts in Windows Vista? What about restricting internet access to all new account that is created? Help! :)

  Hello

  If your contact is logged on as administrator, then he or she can create a new user account. If you don't want someone else to create a new user account, you can then create a standard account for them, in this way, they will not have the privilege to create a new user account.

  Create a user account

  If you don't want to give them access to the internet, then you can use the parental control.

  Set up Parental controls (Vista)

  Hope that helps.

• New user accounts won't load

  Recently, I tried to set up a new user account for my fiancé on windows vista (64-bit). I have never tried to create a user account on this PC before, but did it often on other systems.

  The account seems to be created very well, but when you try to log on to her computer freezes on the 'welcome' or 'office preparation' steps log in. I tried to delete the user account and making it once more. The same thing happens when I turn on the guest account. My account 'admin' of origin works fine, but the problem persists or not the new user is "admin" or not.

  Can access other accounts in Mode safe, I don't know what to do from there to solve the problem. To retry again in normal mode the computer freezes.

  No error message is displayed. The PC becomes totally unresponsive to everything I tried - Ctrl + Alt + Delete or keep the keys F for example. The only way to restart seems to turn the unit off. The gel lasts indefinitely (I tried to leave during the night and in the morning it's the same thing).

  Your help will be massively appreciated!

  Hi Chris,
  In addition to the suggestion of Michael Murphy. Try the following.
   
  You are able to connect to an account in safe mode, there must be some programs that are unable to laod. We recommend that you try the following steps.
  Step 1: Safe mode.
  1. start the computer in safe mode.
  Start your computer in safe mode: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Start-your-computer-in-safe-mode
  2 disable all non-Microsoft programs. Try the following steps.
  a. Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.
  b. on the general tab, click Selective startup, and then clear the check box load startup items. (The check box use the file Boot is not available.)
  c. on the Services tab, click to select the skin all the Microsoft services check box, and then click Disable all.
  d. click OK, click on restart and try to sign in to a user account (not in safe mode).
   
  Step 2: If you are able to connect to a user account by disabling all non-Microsoft programs, find out who is causing the problem.
  Read the following article and follow step 2 to step 6 to determine which is the origin of the problem: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
