  I would like to give to the standard user account privileges, so they can access programs like spybot, without needing an admin password (he asked generally the password update spybot).

  I have read the menu permissions by right-clicking the spybot .exe file, click the securities tab and the Advanced button.

• Standard user changes time clock to circumvent the time limits set in the parental controls, how to stop this?

  Original title: clock change

  I put deadlines for my daughter in the parental control. my daughter just changed the clock time to get around this. It has a standard user account and I have the password to the administrator account, which she could not possibly know that I keep changing. How does do and how can I stop this happening?

  The date and time system can be changed using a control panel applet - timedate.cpl file.

  If you have the administrator account, you can refuse his user account access to the said folder.

  1. go to start > type cmd > press and hold shift + Enter (this will open CMD with Admin Access)
  2. on your type CMD in the command below

  Cacls timedate.cpl /p : n

  3. press ENTER.

  The command will refuse access to user account in the file so that it could not change the time and date.

• that allows standard users change ppp settings, removing UAC admin fast pwd to DPIscaling.exe

  I am currently using windows vista ultimate 64-bit with an installed nvidia geforce 8800 gtx card. I'm the ADM on the machine, with the standards users who connect it. My account of adm does not have the problem. I'm trying to find a way to allow standard users on the machine to have the ability to change the ppp settings.

  The path of the file is C:\Windows\System32\DpiScaling.exe

  I tried to use the solution listed on this site: http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/window-on-windows/?p=635

  and used the Application Compatibility Toolkit.  I used a lot of different options, the 32-bit version, 64-bit, different boxes, without success. When you click right on the file properties and click on the Compatibility tab, it says:
  Cannot be set on this program compatibility modes because it is part of the Windows version.

  I have a standard users also granted full control of the executable, and if the logged-on user account, he got always invited him to enter the administrator credentials. I understand that this only gives the user access to the file and not what the file does.

  I need to find a solution to allow standard users on the computer to change the DPI settings without the need of the admin password.  While looking for solutions here and on the site of regular microsoft (support.microsoft.com) support, all I could find are methods that disable the guests of UAC elevation and ways to disable UAC completely.    http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/w7security/thread/0364515a-301e-47C5-AF99-39347b83c6b4-je don't want to do that.  I even tried and the standard user has always invited to enter an admin password.  I don't want to disable UAC or the guests of elevation, surprisingly these guests don't mind.   The computer is set to high resolution and need to continually change the DPI setting to enable the second monitor (my HDTV) text output in a format that is clear and correct.  The reason why we have change back is because the cursor of the mouse in the PC video games being played here on disappears when the DPI is set to what higher than normal / default. So before any game is played, the DPI settings in windows settings must be changed to the default / normal.

  Since I was the user only administrator on the machine, I am concerned when other users would like to play their games. but can not, because I am not present.  I want to be the only Admin account on the machine.  Bad things tend to happen when I allow other users are administrators on the machine.

• No Option of account Type change under user ID-want to change of Admin for the Standard user

  Hi, we have a Vista Home Premium system.  One of the children has received this PC and they are as an administrator with no other users.  Later, I added myself as admin and wanted to change the children as a standard user account type, but there is no option to change account type under their username.  I don't want to change the names where I am the initial administrator and the new standard user are children because they already have a bunch of stuff under their original admin username.  ((1) why I do not see the option to change account type and 2) how to change their standard account type so I can use controls parents?  Thank you!

  I want to tell you that if the computer has 1 account only, it will be the default Administrator account and change the standard account type will be gray.

  However, you can create a new user account and set a new one as a standard account.

• Problems in standard user accounts user access control

  Equipped with Vista. Accounts of users within the standard, I can not install any new software. When you are prompted by user account control, my admin password, enter the password and get a response saying the account name or password are incorrect. The password allows me to connect and install the software on the admin account, but why now is no longer get in a standard user account. ?   Any ideas?

  Hello

  Step 1:

  You can try disabling the UAC on the standard account to see if the software will be installed.

  Enable or disable the User Account Control

  Note: Enable UAC, once the problem is resolved.

  Check and make sure that the standard account you are allowed to install.

• I find I have been circumvented, however, and am now relegated to 'standard user', preventing parental control instead of applied

  original title: darn childrenI

  I recently had to spend money to have a password reset and to establish myself as an administrator of the machine.  I find I have been circumvented, however, and am now relegated to 'standard user', preventing parental control instead of applied.  How did do it? and how can I, short to wrest from the computer (what I did) restore my admin status?

  We run vista.

  No, you're right.  My point was that I should have created while I still had the power. but I did not dumped.

  2 suggestions...

  1. take your child to the computer, tell him to change your user account to the administrator account while you watch. It is the one who started the mess, make the child facing the music.
  After you're back as an administrator, you can now look at what is a "strong" password and CHANGE your password.

  2. If you are unable to run the routine 'tough love', take your computer to your RELIABLE computer store and the set.

  We cannot help you switch user account to the account admin unless you have the admin password that apparently you have more. We can, in the worst scenario, excluded from this forum if we show you how to do it without admin password.

• Standard user needs access to the protected admin program

  My older games, Mabinogi online, but it requires my password each time until he could play. Is anyway around this without giving my password? This means that yes there is a problem of trust involved. We have just recovered from a massive virus infestation and do not want a repetition.

  Hello
  In addition to the response of Mick Murphy, check this:
   
  Step 1: To run the game or any program as an administrator, try the following steps.
  1. right click on the game launch icon or program, and then click Properties.
  2 click the Compatibility tab and choose "run this program as an administrator", under the privilege level.
  3. apply the changes.
  4. open the icon and provide the administrator credentials and keep identification information.
  5. Once opened the game the next time the user will be able to continue without entering credentials.
   
  Step 2: Install the program or game for all users.
  A lot of programs or games have the option to choose to install the game or program for all users on the computer.
  1. install the game using the Setup file.
  2. follow the instructions in the wizard; Select for all users on the computer.
  3 complete the installation.
   
  Step 3: Copy the shortcut icon of game launch on the standard user desktop.
  1 copy the shortcut icon of launching a game from the user admin account and paste it into the Office of standard user account. The location to paste the copied icon is: C:\Users\\Desktop
  2. run the game and check the result.
   
  I hope this helps.

• Only the user is a Standard user, how do I get an admin account?

  Hello

  Windows 7 Pro

  When I set up this new computer, I created the main account as a standard user. Bad move. Now when I try to make changes, I invited him UAC with an inactive "Yes" button. It is said to enter an administrator password - it is not one that I know. I'm not able to use the cmd as administrator either. I have to reinstall Windows to fix this? I tried several suggestions that I found on the web (safe mode, etc.) and nothing gets done by the UAC.

  Thank you!

  OT:

  Only the user is a Standard user,

  Sorry, I have reflected on something else when I wrote 'choice 4 '.

  First, note the comment at the top of the page I linked to:

  Theoretically if you do not have an administrator account, the built-in Administrator account should be available in safe mode (see also related articles). For any identified reason, the built-in Administrator sometimes to be unavailable in safe mode.

  So, the first thing to do is to reboot safe mode and see if the built-in Administrator account is here.  I will not delete my Admin accounts to test this situation.

  Assuming that the built-in Administrator account is NOT available in Mode safe...

  The link I gave you, the two method I (32-bit only) and method II require you to "open a command prompt at startup" and give a link for directions to do so.  If you go to this link, there is a 'Option One' which uses the installation of Win 7 disc and a 'Option 2' that tells you to use the menu of Boot Options to boot into "Safe Mode with command prompt."

  However, Safe Mode with command prompt not automatically you will get an account with computer administrator privileges, and I suspect that you will not be able to make registry changes suggested that way, despite the generally good reputation of sevenforums.com.   So, use the Windows 7 installation DVD to display the "System Recovery Options" and then select "Command Prompt" there.

  Assuming that you do not receive the built-in administrator enabled account, log in, create a new account and give administrator privileges.  If you intend to use this account for anything other answering the UAC guests, create a second administrator account, "just in case."

  Finally, open an elevated command prompt (right click > run as administrator) and use the following command to disable the built-in Administrator account:

  NET user administrator / active: No.

• The admin user doesn't have access to the Standard user account files

  OK, I'm lost.  It's crazy.

  After reading the reasons to do most of your work on/as a Standard user, I created a user account (quite a while) and have been using it since--and perhaps the way I did have this problem.

  If I remember correctly, this is how I did it.  I had a LOT of files under my old ID admin, so I created another Admin account and then replaced by former Admin account is a Standard user account.  I have been connected and makes every slot the user account Standard since then, with Windows poping a request my Admin password whenever he needed.

  Today, I needed to change a tax return of 2013 - and when I reloaded TurboTax last year and needed to get the State program, TurboTax wouldn't, claiming that I need to be logged in as an Admin user (I have not the popup asking my Admin password).

  OK, here's the problem.  When I have users to switch to my Admin account, after the passage, almost all the icons on my desktop disappear AND there are only a couple of files in my files of Documents Libraries\Documents\My.

  Everything to go.  I thought as an Admin user, I had access to everything.  How can I get all this stuff back (the icons on the desktop for example and other user account files, etc.)

  When I was logged in as an Admin user, it seemed that I could share files with other Useers - so I thought, Aha, that's how it works.  So I logged on my Standard user account - but the ability to share my files, etc. did not exist, at least as far as I can tell (that is, cannot find this option anywhere).

  If all goes well there is something simple that miss me that things work so that as an Admin user, I have access to other user accounts where - it is supposed to work, isn't.

  Obviously need help.  Thank you.  Ron in round rock

  In fact, I have nothing - as stated in the above comment, I could see all my files and folders User\ron

  -> This either means that the folder is already shared, or that UAC (User Account Control) is disabled on your PC. This isn't a good idea because it exposes your computer at serious risk.

  I can edit, delete, running back, I can't (or maybe since I am the only user on this machine, I should leave him alone).  Just curious as to what I did exactly.

  -> If you have shared with read/write access, you can create/edit/delete the files.

  And finally, as an Admin user, I have only 4 icons in the taskbar (IE, Chrome, Windows Media Player and Windows Explorer) - that doesn't sound right.

  -> You'll get exactly icons you placed here while it is logged on as admin user.

  And really Finally, with regard to the disappearance of all the icons on my desktop when logged in as Admin user.

  Each user has his own profile. Inside the profile, there is the user's desktop. Desktop shortcuts that are visible while connected as user A are not visible when you are logged on as user B because each user has his own office!

  There is one exception: most applications require at installation time if their shortcuts must be visible by all users. If you answer 'Yes', then the shortcuts will go into this common folder: C:\Users\Public\Desktop.

  You actually painted yourself in a corner Downshifting your one and only one administrator account and burning is not a repair CD Windows before badly started. Here's how you can solve the problem:

  1. Burn a CD of Windows repair on the machine from a friend via the control panel / backup and restore. It takes less than five minutes.
  2. Set your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
  3. Start the computer with your Windows 7 repair CD.
  4. Press a key when prompted to boot from the DVD.
  5. Select 'PC Repair' in the menu.
  6. Select 'Repair' when prompted.
  7. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
  8. Configure Windows to a point before downgrade you your account.
  9. Plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare emergency House key. This will save you a lot of trouble.

• Allow a standard user to run a program with elevation of the admin.

  I have a program that will run only on admin or with the approval of the admin. I want him to be executed on all users computers with standard users. How can I do this?

  That has never been answered so for those looking for an answer...
  Log in as an administrator and disable UAC
  -> Panel-> accounts user and family safety-> user accounts modify the user account control--> then just slide down never notify.

  This will allow a standard user to access admin and admin stop programs confirm the open each time

• Howw can I use extensions I have installed as the admin for a standard user account? When I go on my Add ons under the standard user, no script is not an option. Thank you

  Hi, I'm using Vista and Firefox 3.6. I installed some popular addons such as no script and the web page of the trust for the admin account, but when I connect under the standard account with fewer rights, I do not have them available. The only way I can get to run is to right click and run as administrator which defeats the purpose to log on as a standard user. Thanks for any help you can provide.

• software installed as that user admin does not work when logged in as standard user

  Running a desktop computer dell with XP SP3 home edition with no possibility of wifi

  Bought the USB adapter wireless and successfully installed the software and connected to the router connected as a user with administrator rights. When I connect software standard user being their but does not connect to the router. ? Standard user family security enabled, I disables it, but it makes no difference.

  Thanks for your suggestion, yes tried and it works when I connect as long as the user admin with a password even if I'm in the standard account. However he does not remember the settings, so whenever you access the standard account you must connect as admin users that would amount to giving the password to the admin of my grandson who defeats the object to have its own user account.

  But I solved the problem, when I looked in C:\documents and setting\admin data User, I found the folder for the software with an ini configuration file and a profile ini file. The profile ini file was missing in the same application for standard user folder. When I copied the file across and made a minor change to the standard user configuration ini file is the file of users admin everything works fine
