• Error message "unable to make changes to parental controls settings. If the problem persists, see your system administrator"when you set parental controls for a user account

  Original title: user account with an effort of parental control

  After logging in to my admin account, I created two user accounts for my children, set up parental controls for both that I created, when I tried to set up the third account that he would allow me to activate parental control. It seems that he is trying to load the screen to give me the parental control options then the window disappers and another small window appears saying "cannot make changes to parental controls settings. If the problem persists, see your system administrator. I close the window, and then open the parental controls for other accounts, and they work very well, allows me the chance to change. I deleted the third account several times, making sure to create on behalf of others, just like I did the first two. Still no luck. Can I have only 3 total accounts? My administrator account and standard users 2.

  How can I get a standard user account third with parental controls?

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

  According to the description of the problem, you cannot make changes in the registry, that you were able to do before. The question might be if there is a file system corruption or corruption of the registry settings. Then, I suggest you to try the steps below and see if it helps.

  Method 1

  There could be a chance that there is a file system corruption. So, I suggest you run SFC scan and see if it makes a difference.

  The file system check is a utility built into the operating system that will check for the corruption of system files. The sfc/scannow command. (System File Check) analyzes the integrity of all protected operating system files and replaces incorrect versions, damaged, altered, or damaged with correct versions where possible.

  How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7.

  • Go to Start, click all programs and open the Accessories.
  • Right-click on command prompt in the list programs, and then select run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click OK.
  • In the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:

  sfc/scannow

  For more information, refer to this link:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833/en-us

  Method 2

  If the problem persists, then there might be a corruption of the registry settings so, I suggest you to check the steps in the below mentioned thread and see if it helps you to solve the problem.

  Access denied - owner and/or setting permissions on the registry key

  Registry warning : 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.

• Cannot make changes to the parents control settings (Windows 7)

  I've seen several comments regarding this same problem, but so far no solution.

  I am the administrator, but I get an error when I try to access the parent on standard accounts control settings.  Now, what's even weirder, is that I am able to access ONE of the standard accounts, and there is nothing different between this account and others.

  I have tried all the solutions already posted:

  -running 'services.msc' and the implementation of parent controls (which is said by the way, says "this service is a stub for of Windows Parental control feature that existed in Vista", which is strange, it's as if there's no 'Parental control' in Windows 7?);

  -create a new administrator account via the control panel (in the case where my administrator account is corrupt), by restarting and trying to put Parental controls

  -create a new administrator account using the command prompt "net user administrator / Active: Yes";

  -in the course of running "sfc/scannow".

  ANY OTHER IDEAS?

  Did you you run regedit as an administrator? It is a common problem in trying just new values. This is done by right-clicking on the program and selecting "Run as Administrator". This allows you to write new values.

  If you would like more information on this subject by me, read the last post on page 3 here:

  If you have recently encountered this problem, I would recommend a system restore, and I explain the reasons in the tread above.
  I hope this helps!

• On Vista Home Edition, Parental control management is unable to make any changes

  Management of parental controls in Vista to work well.  I have 2 installation before accounts with web filtering and time limits.  Recently, it stopped working.  I can't set a new STANDARD user account to turn on Parental controls.  It makes Flash the admin for a fraction of a second screen, then a Pop box appears "unable to make changes. If the problem persists, please contact an administrator "."  I AM an administrator.  I also activated the hidden administrator account, use it and always save the message.  I looked at the Regedit settings and everything looks ok.

  The first 2 accounts that configure before I can still change some characteristics, even if the pop box will appear with the same error message.  The changes take effect.  I only seem to change for web filtering and time restrictions only now.  Restriction of program does not work.

  Halima,

  Thanks for the suggestions.

  Yes, a number of new programs over time. I don't know when the issue of PC started then has no way for me to go back unless I have remove all the programs that I installed, which is a lot.

  Yes, I tried PC without my AntiVirus running. Then I tried to stop every non-essential service, 1 by 1, until only the essential services remained running.  None of these permits.

  I tried to run mode without failure. Integrated also in Safe Mode with the administrator account. The two did not work.

  I tried to create 2 new users, 1 admin, 1 standard. Add the PC later to the standard.  Did not work.

  All of these suggestions I've tried. I search the Web and found that this is a very common problem with no sound resolution. I was able to get mine to work again. It won't work that if there is already a standard account EXISTING with control Parental already setup on it (before the bug has started to happen).  These are the steps I did to solve:

  -Use Regedit, look for new & existing userid & note the KeyIDs
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList]
  -KeyID for existing user is [S-1-5-21-692013207-3584402868-2609430525-1003]
  -Now go to the registry key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Parental Controls\Users]
  -On existing KeyID, right-click > export > select the location for the file such as c:\temp\Existing.reg .reg
  -Edit c:\temp\Existing.reg & change the KeyID to that for the new user you add to Parental control.
  In my case, I did a 'replace' to:
  S-1-5-21-692013207-3584402868-2609430525-1003--< the="" existing="" uid="">
  and "replace all" with the KeyID of the new user
  S-1-5-21-692013207-3584402868-2609430525-1009--< the="" new="" uid="">
  -Run the command to import the registry file [regedit c:\temp\Existing.reg]
  -Click OK at the prompt to import the new registry key

  I could now GET IN to Parental control to fine tune the new user.  When I change, I always get the pop box saying "unable blah blah", but when I return to the user, the changes are effective.

• Parental controls does not: Impossible to make changes to parental controls settings. If the problem persists, see your system administrator.

Now that I am setting up a new account for him, can't get parental controls to work.

• "Windows Firewall cannot change some of your settings. Error code 0 x 80070424 ' how to fix this?

  I get this error: "firewall Windows cannot change some of your settings. Error code 0 x 80070424"when I try to turn on the Windows Firewall (Windows 7).  I am also unable to start my computer in safe mode.  My computer has been infected by the virus 'Win 7 Security 2012', which is what caused this damage to my system.  The virus also seems to have removed all the system restore points before the infection!  I believe that I have the virus completely deleted.  I used Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, Spybot Search & Destroy, Ad-Aware, Kapersky Virus Removal Tool, antivirus Ati Avira (anti-virus program I was running when my computer has been infected by the virus) & Microsoft Security Essentials.  I ran the Scan SFC, a tool for emergency response Microsoft Support, Microsoft FixIt, ComboFix, & Tweaking.com Windows Repair all-in-One.  Repair Windows Tweaking.com seems to be turned Action Center back, where I now get a message that: "Windows Defender is turned off" & it does not seem to recognize MSE as my anti-virus program.  I need to know how to get Windows Firewall works again & get Action Center working properly again.  My computer has a partition with my Windows Recovery on it, but since I can't start in safe mode, I can not also start the restore partition to do a "repair" install, or even restore to factory settings!  Can anyone help?

  Also, when I use a search engine on internet, I get re-directed to a site that has absolutely NOTHING to do with the result of the research, and I click on... I am not that so that is proof that the virus is not COMPLETELY gone or not.

• When I try to delete some folders, an error message appears saying 'you need permission SYSTEM to make changes to this file.

  original title: require authorization of the SYSTEM

  I decided to do a clean install of the latest Windows 7 RC yesterday and today crossed and have started to remove some programs on a separate hard drive so I could reinstall their own.  However when I try to delete some folders, an error message appears saying 'you need permission SYSTEM to make changes to this file.  I am using an administrator account, but I can't just simply delete the file.  I tried going to and change the owner to my account or administrators, close it, change the security permissions to allow me to have full control, and then I can finally remove it.  The problem is, I have to do for all the files one by one in the folder, and I wonder if there is an easier way to go about this, or if I can access the user of this SYSTEM and just delete them all from there.  Thanks for the help.

  Hello

  Not trying to resurrect the old discussions, but I'll answer anyway because this thread came on top of the list of search results when I searched for "you need permission to the SYSTEM; I hope this will help everyone.

  Note: here, "the record" as a subject refers to the folder that you want to remove.

  Step 1: Go to the built-in Administrator account, you can do so by following these steps:
  a. go to control panel > system and security > administrative tools
  b. on the left panel, go to local users and groups > users. You should now see a list of users on your computer
  c. right click on the administrator account that appears in the list and select Properties
  d. uncheck "account is disabled" and confirm by pressing OK

  Step 2: Connect to your newly activated administrator account

  Step 3: Now, we start to configure the security settings that will allow you to remove this folder which was (perhaps) held by the SYSTEM:
  I'm going to make the assumption that you want to remove a folder and all its subfolders along
  a. right click on the folder
  b. go to the security on the top tab
  c. click on the Advanced button which is at the bottom

  : Step 4 the first part to configure security settings to set the owner of the folder:
  a. go to the owner on the top tab
  b. click the button change located downstairs
  c. There should be a list of accounts to choose to change the property, this is located under the label "of a change in ownership:'"
  (d) the entry 'Administrator (YOURCOMPUTERNAME\Administrator)' should be there; If this isn't the case, then add it to the list:
  -Click on the button "other users or groups...". "who's down
  -Under the label "enter the object name to select (examples):', there should be a text field you can type into it;" type in "Administrator" (without the quotes of course)
  -Click on the "Check names" button which is located on the right. 'Administrator (YOURCOMPUTERNAME\Administrator)' should now be there _For itself_; Well, if not, then you must remove the line that does not represent the administrator account that you are currently
  -Confirm by pressing OK; It will now appear on the list of accounts, you can choose from
  e. now, select 'Administrator (YOURCOMPUTERNAME\Administrator)' from this list
  f. check 'Replace the owner of subcontainers and objects' to propagate our change
  g. press OK to confirm. a message should now pop-up window, which says to re - open the properties. Do by pressing all the buttons OK see you

  Step 5: now that we have the owner of the folder, we still not done. There is one crucial step left which is to remove permissions inheritable:
  a. Repeat step 3 to learn to re - open properties and get to "Advanced security settings"
  b. go to the permissions on the top tab
  c. click on the button "Change permissions" which is down
  d. at the bottom, there should be 2 check boxes:
  -' Include the permissions that can be inherited from the parent to this object': deselect this. When you do so, you will get a warning on the parameters of parent is not not able to spread. Select 'Add '.
  -' Replace all permissions of child object with permissions inheritable this object': check this
  e. press OK to confirm. Windows will warn you this time; Click OK
  f. reconfirm by pressing OK; now, you should get to properties again

  Now, you shouldn't have all the warnings about the SYSTEM do give you permission as he attempted to perform actions on this issue.
  All the boxes to change the permissions on the accounts (properties > Security > Edit) must now be enabled, and you can tinker around with it.
