• my daughter has created another account and does'nt remember the password would close the account else completely off cannot figure out how to do it please help

  Please help me understand this

  You can change your password to something that you remember another administrative user account. If you had only an administrative user account and you have forgotten the password, all is not lost. You can then follow the general recommendations for implementing user accounts in Vista that I will give you at the end of this post.

  All this requires a certain level of computer skills. You know better and that take the machine to a competent local computer tech (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad place) is the best solution for you.

  If you have an installation of Vista DVD (not a recovery DVDs), you can start the system with it. Select the default language, then select "repair your computer". Then select "Command Prompt". At the command prompt, type:

  NET user administrator / Active: Yes [press Enter]
  NET user [insert here the name of your user account] [insert the new password of user as 1234 here] [press Enter]

  [Note: do not enter the brackets!]

  Remove the installation DVD and restart the computer. Now, you will be able to connect to your user account by using the password that you set; for example, 1234.

  If you do not have a Vista installation DVD (only have a recovery disk), the computer mftr. may have given you the option to repair Vista (not a system recovery!) system in the diagnostic menu. This menu of diagnosis is the same one where you can choose Safe Mode. Get to this menu by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. If you do not have this option, you can make a bootable Vista file repair DVD in this link:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  Note: All the Neosmart recovery disk downloads are torrent files. There is a good explanation of the torrent on the site Web of Neosmart files. You will need a torrent as muTorrent client to get the files. Torrent client will download the .iso file with which to create the bootable DVD. You will need to use third-party burning software such as Nero, Roxio or the free ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com ) to burn the image .iso image file, not in the form of data.

  Once you have fixed things, log on to the additional administrative account you will be made by the suggestions below and disable the administrator account integrated yet for security reasons:

  Start Orb > Search box > type: cmd
  When cmd appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator" [OK]. Now, you will get the command prompt. At the command prompt, type:

  NET user administrator / active: No. [Enter]

  Exit the command prompt.

  General recommendations for creating users in Vista:

  You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all the other modern operating systems, Vista is a multi-user system with integrated system of accounts as default Administrator and comments. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

  In particular, you do not want one account user with administrative privileges on Vista because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult.  It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but there may be more that you want to do. Better not to put you in a bad situation at first.

  The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. As a user Standard is recommended for security reasons and will help protect your computer against infections. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

  If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:

  Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
  Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

  Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

• I have 7 user folders in C:\Documents and Settings and a single user account. How can I assign the right folder to my account and get rid of the others?

  Recently I got a video card break down. Repair technology installed a new and created a new Documents and Settings folder, which is now using my user account. I don't want these settings, I want the 'old'.

  Please write the command NET USER (at a command prompt) and report the output of the command.

  To find out what profile folder the user uses the command DEFINE the USER.

  To get a list of all users and their profile folders use the script VBS here: shows all the SIDS of the user with the path to copy and paste the script (in the box) to a Notepad file and then save it with a .vbs extension and run it.

  Set up your computer so that it uses an automatic connection, and when you get to the login screen just enter the user name and password of the account you want to use, and you should still be able to open a session with him.  To change the automatic logon settings type control userpasswords2 in the box run from the start menu and select (put a check mark) the option "users must enter a user name and password...". ».  If you use the 'Welcome' screen, you can press Ctrl + Alt + Delete twice to get the login screen and you can then enter the user name and password.

  To remove an unwanted user account and its associated user files use the applet in the control panel user accounts, don't forget about your actions before you delete a user account and its files, it is a one-way street and destruction will be permanent.

  I wonder if you have security-related add-ons that can detect and close the pop-up windows... Could test you mode without failure of Firefox? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

  Does not work if Firefox: Hold down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox.

  If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
  • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

  and OK reboot.

  Two scenarios: A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not update).

  Any difference?

• Why complete web pages download as a file and a folder on the Mac rather than single file downloads in safari?

  Is it necessary to have a folder full of files and an individual folder appear whenever I want to download a full webpage in firefox. This is not the case in safari. It is annoying to have to keep two icons for each web page, and if I put the file icon in the folder other files download each web page is not a simple click of an icon to open the page in offline mode. I must go to the folder and find the file icon. Am I missing some settings so that it works as well in firefox, like in safari? Thank you.

  Safari uses webarchive format. http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/WebArchive

  Firefox does not include a similar feature, but a feature like this can be added via the MAF extension or the extension of UnMHT.

• Is there a problem with accounting and 4.1 of the ACS

  Good day to all,

  I just installed a new server with ACS 4.1.

  This new installation 4.1 ACS is approved, I will retire my old server that ACS 3.1.

  At this point, the only problem I have with ACS 4.1 is with the accounting.

  For example:

  I used a test-router with all the necessary config pointing to my old 3.1 ACS. Everything works fine (authentication and accounting). If I enter a command on the router test it's journal on GBA 3.1.

  Now, if I change the test-router to point to the new 4.1 ACS, the ACS 4.1 will authenticate the router test correctly, but won't save any command that I enter the router test. I did a shot between the test-router and 4.1 of the ACS and the router test sends accounting statement ACS 4.1.

  There are many different configuration of ACS 3.1 4.1, but as far as I can see the config on the two ACS is as similar as possible.

  Y at - there anyone out there who could do 4.1 ACS to process accounting properly?

  Any idea will help you.

  Thank you

  Frank

  Here is my config:

  AAA new-model

  AAA authentication login default group Ganymede + local

  connection of AAA No.-AUTH authentication no

  AAA authorization exec default group Ganymede + local

  AAA authorization commands start-stop Group 1 Ganymede +.

  AAA authorization commands start-stop group 15 Ganymede +.

  AAA accounting exec default start-stop Ganymede group.

  orders accounting AAA 1 by default start-stop Ganymede group.

  AAA accounting command 15 by default start-stop Ganymede group

  !

  192.168.100.16 host key radius-server *.

  (the above command is the only command I change to point the finger 3.1 ACS or ACS 4.1)

  RADIUS-server application made

• I cannot create new user accounts and have tried all the steps listed in all of the current discussions, does not

  Good people you've heard of this one before:

  I can connect to my basic admin account, but not others.  I tried to create new user accounts after you delete the old user accounts but system would not apparently carry out process.  I get the following warning:

  Service user profile Service failed to connect
  User profile cannot be loaded.

  I tried all of the recommended patches (see list below)

  1 ran all appropriate steps as stated in the article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947215 - no joy
  There is not other profiles listed in the register except the administrator account on the basis and since I couldn't connect successfully to a user apparently newly created accounts, the profile has not completed the process of generation.

  2. I have not ran the SFC system - no joy.  He replied with the following: Windows Resource Protection did not find any breach of integrity.

  Then... of other big ideas?

• Where can I find the Documents and Settings folder or the folder on Vista?

  I need to find a Real Player file file so I can delete it, but am unable to find the floder Documents and Settings.  I need to delete a file called treestate.dat but am unable to find... Help, please!

  In Windows Vista user profiles

  In Windows XP, 2000, 2003, user profiles are stored in c:\Documents and Settings. In Windows Vista, the profiles are now stored in c:\Users. You will see a folder c:\Documents and Settings in Windows Explorer in Vista, but you will also notice the shortcut icon on the folder, and you will not be able to access this folder. c:\Documents and Settings is now a junction Point. You can use the random dir command to see where c:\Documents and Settings point to or use the table below.

  The following table lists the old profile path and the new path under Windows Vista.

  Old path	New path
  \Documents and Settings	\Users
  \Documents and Settings\Default User or %LogonServer%\NETLOGON\Default user	\USERS\DEFAULT or %LogonServer%\NETLOGON\Default
  \Documents and Settings\\My Documents	\Users\\Documents
  \Documents and Settings\\My Documents\My photos	\Users\\Pictures
  \Documents and Settings\\My Documents\My Music	\Users\\Music
  \Documents and Settings\\Favorites	\Users\\Favorites
  N/A	\Users\\Contacts
  N/A	\Users\personal
  N/A	\Users\\SavedGames
  \Documents and Settings\Change Data	\Users\\AppData\Roaming
  \Documents and Settings\Settings\Application Data	\Users\\AppData\Local
  \Documents and Settings\\Start Menu	\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\ start Menu
  \Documents and Settings\All Users	\Users\Public
  \Documents and Settings\All Users Menu	\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start menu
  \Documents and Settings\All Users\Bureau	\Users\Public\Desktop

  Records to take note of here are the folders in the path of all users. Many legacy applications that use outdated methods to solve the system folders, will solve the railways under C:\ProgramData when looking for common places. For example, the joint office can be resolved as C:\ProgramData\Desktop, however; This is actually a point of junction for C:\ProgramData\Users\Public\Desktop. A random entry in the C:\ProgramData folder dir reveals the following Junction Points:

  Path	Points to
  Data \ProgramData\Application	\ProgramData
  \ProgramData\Desktop	\Users\Public\Desktop
  \ProgramData\Documents	\Users\Public\Documents
  \ProgramData\Favorites	\Users\Public\Favorites
  Menu \ProgramData\Start	\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start menu
  \ProgramData\Templates	\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Templates
