Problems with accounts of different users on the same computer, windows xp start Windows!

Well, here, I have 3 users on xp, mine works fine, but the other two do not. As soon as I spend my user account to one of the other, all kinds of windows setting screens and new program start. None of the programs that I use my account are available on the other 2 accounts? If I try to open a program or file, windows asks each program installation disc? All files, music and photos in each of 2 other problematic accounts disappeared, not where to find them? I tried windows update, nothing happens. I was wondering if something can be done, as a restoration of the system, but there is no restore in xp home system? right?

mherrg,
Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.  It sounds as if your user profile may be corrupted.  However, when you install a program from an account you must select the option that the program is for all accounts.  If you haven't already done so, you can run a virus scan before you continue.

The links below discuss issues of user profile and the system restore feature.

  • How do I sync and import/export bookmarks between different users on the same computer and two using the Firefox browser?

    All the help instructions are to import and export bookmarks bookmarks between different brands of browsers.

    Assuming that each of these different users use a different profile of Firefox. You can use the built in Fx4 Sync feature. Click on Setup Sync in the menu selections, create an account and then have each user created their profile to use this new account synchronization. It syncs more bookmarks; things like history, passwords, etc. So if it's only the bookmarks you are concerned with that, use customize only synchronize bookmarks when you set up each user. Good luck and have fun in sync.

  • How can I transfer files between different users on the same computer

    I set myself upward under a different name on my laptop father but necessary for the transfer of files from the original user (IE my father'd Office) to my new! How can I do this?

    The following instructions assume that you want to have two users on the computer and you do not want to move some files from one user to another user.  If this isn't the case, skip the following and post a reply.

    If the above assumption is correct, log in with administrator privileges or the user who currently owns the files and click Start > computer (in the list of the menu Start right under Documents, photos, etc.) and in the computer, double-click the drive where the files are located and then double-click on the 'Users' folder and double-click with the record of the original user and work your way to the files you want to move.  Leave this window open (and possibly drag it to the right of your screen until the mouse touches the edge and it automatically resizes to fit the right of your screen or you can resize it manually).  Then repeat the same instructions (start > computer, etc.) but the second time, when you open the 'Users' folder, navigate to the new user.  The two windows open you can now drag files from one window to the other.

    Original title: Multi users

    Is it possible to set up for multiple users on the same computer to avoid entering the email and password every time that a new user want to check emails?

    Hello

    Welcome to the community forums of Microsoft and thanks for posting the question. According to the description, you need help in the creation of multiple user accounts. I've surely you will help find a solution on the issue.

    What is the operating system installed on the computer?

    User accounts, several people can easily share a single computer. Each person can have a separate user account with unique settings and preferences, such as a screen saver or desktop background. User accounts control files and programs users can access and what types of changes users can make to the computer. As a general rule, you'll want to create standard accounts for most computer users.

  • IMac is not able to share multimedia files with multiple users on the same computer.

    We just bought a new IMac that we were very excited.  We have phones Apple and iPads, replacement and ten year with a new Mac old PC made since.

    Now, the trouble begins. For more than ten years Windows had several usernames on the same machine and have been able to have a shared folder only for music, pictures and video that my iTunes program and others could acsess and share from several user names. This kept all in one place for new photos families by me or my wife and our 30 gigabytes of music that comes from our CDs was available at bolt of us. Now in train to implement on IMac should be easy but is impossible.  after transferring the music to my login information, it cannot acsess all files on my login. I am not even able to share or provide his acsess. I can move the iTunes folder to my shared folder. She can get acsess now but iTunes says that the library file is locked. I worked with care from Apple on the phone for that sold, but they believe it will not be possible without creating two copies of the 30 gigabytes of music for each of us. who would take more hard drive when it failed too.  Sharing is not any help. These files were before iTunes. I'm not pay 30 dollars a month to store in icloudcor use a google reader slow to the Internet connection when everything's fine here. Apparently Applow programmers do not believe in sharing of multimedia files between two users on the same device, even if a PC does that very well. My choice here is so far have duplicates of all the photos, music and videos loaded on the disc for me and my wife, charge all the media for an external hard drive which for some reason any all Apple programs will share, or return the mac to another PC that will be able to make several connections with sharing music and photos. Apple if you are reading this you are 10 years behind on that. Not everyone is born in the last five years and bought their music on iTunes to be able to use home sharing. Home sharing cannot help this. your applications should be able to be told to use the media files shared without import copies to readers of the user. I am very disappointed. Someone else has any ideas for that?  I have pictures, not iPhoto. I have a week more to be able to return it. I'm not interested in making a fake account that is always connected to share or maintaining of me constantly connected. It should have been easy, I had to be happy to play with new software.

    Photos, iPhoto and iTunes libraries must appear on an external hard drive that is formatted as shown below to be used by multiple users on the same Mac:

    So get a properly formatted external HD and move your iPhoto/pictures of her as well as your iTunes library.  This way all your iMac users can access and use both libraries.

    An alternative to the external HD method is to partition your internal hard drive into two partitions, one for libraries.  It is formatted as shown above and be large enough to contain the libraries and allow the expansion of libraries.

  • Several Thunderbird in different OS on the same computer to access profile on common logical drive

    I installed Windows 8.1 under another OS on a machine who already have Windows 7 (and Thunderbird). The hard disk is partitioned and you Bird profile files are on a different logical drive available to both operating systems having the same name of player.

    I met two problems:

    1. While the new facility to Win 8.1 you Bird sees all mail folders and messages (and can get new messages from the POP3 account, this configuration does not see also within this same profile address books, and)

    2. it does not correctly send SMTP (even with the same account settings.

    Regarding the last, I remember working with you Bird and its predecessor as the SMTP password has been set from the first use, but never appeared for editing purposes; the only time wherever he appeared was during the creation of a new source of SMTP. In this case, I don't see where I can re - enter the SMTP password. And, I tried to create a new configuration of SMTP, but it did not help. I have entered the correct password, but it failed. Any ideas on how I can get this set up?

    With address books, even if this new facility you Bird knows where the profile (as evidenced by the fact that he doesn't see mail folders and messages), he does not see the address books. Still, I don't see where there is the setting of the location of the address book. I looked for the familiar file that tells the program where to find everything, but I could not find in this new facility to Win 8.1.

    Any ideas on these two issues would be greatly appreciated!

    I finally found the answer. I was able to display the users folder in Win 8.1. I just copied files of Thunderbird of the Win 7 Users\UserName\AppData\Local Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming files directory and directory to the same location on the 8.1 users folder.

    As soon as I did that and restarted my SMTP has been fixed and all address books were available. (And of course, it still works in the world of Win 7, too).

    From what I can glean the data in these records communicate key information at the Thunderbird not covered by the option setting for the folder in the program itself.

    I don't know if the copy of these records is this 3rd party promise to help with the relocation of existing facilities, but should be.

    As a reminder, I try 8.1 win on the same computer as a pre-existing Win7. I wanted to use my same familiar programs, including obviously Thunderbird, with the same configuration and access to the books of mail and same address located on a common additional logical drive.

    Copy these files to the new operating system, as well as pointing to the new installation of program to the existing profile of you bird accomplished all of this.

  • It is essential to disable CS6 apps when a new DISK is used, with a new facility? (on the same computer)

    Hi guys,.

    I have CS6 Production Premium installed on my old iMac (in a "traditional HD)"

    Now, I've added a new SSD for my (now former) machine

    My plan is to do a new installation for the system and all my applications on this new SSD, including those from Adobe.

    My question is: it is necessary to DISABLE the CS6 apps on my old HD before you install and activate these apps on my new SSD? Or is not needed? (later, once I check that everything goes great with my new SSD, my plan is to erase and format the old HD to use it as a department store)

    I ask this question because I read as 'Deactivation' is necessary when you switch from an old computer to a new one. But on this case, the computer is the same, it's just a new DISK SSD that will be used for the system and applications.

    Thank you! :-)

    Activating puts a 'mark of use' in the Adobe database... you are allowed only TWO active activations... so if you enable one, your 2nd install use then your activation allowed 2nd... where is indifferent (new drive in the same computer or on a different computer) only the fact that activation adds a 'brand usage' in database activation
