• How can I restore deleted user account?

  During a session to help with Intuit on the installation of a product update, it became necessary to set up a new user in Windows XP Tablet Edition.  In the process of all other user accounts have been deleted. How to restore a user account?  The new account is an administrator account.

  Hobler,
  If the user account has been deleted you can not restore with the help of a program of backup\restore.  If you have another drive and that you have backed up your hard drive then user accounts should be part of your backup.  You just go through the restore process for items you need.
  If you do not have a backup, and then they are gone. Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

• restore deleted user accounts in vista sp2

  My girls open a session on the account in windows vista sp2 has been removed and is now being restored. is this possible? After you run defrag x times?

  You COULD retrieve some data from it

  When you delete an account, you have the ability to save files then.

  Read the post on the link above by MVP Malke.

  And Defrag and computer use has probably ruined all chances to save all the data.

• Can I restore my user account XP to its previous state?

  I am running Windows XP Home Edition SP2. I contracted the Trojan antispywarebot horse week last on the foxsports.com website.  He hijacks the desktop, displaying a message that your computer is infected. I knew it was I have virus as the name of the program it asked me to download looked sketchy. I did the following:

  1 Ran free version of Malwarebytes who caught the virus. That doesn't remove the virus itself, because when I click on the desktop icons, I either get a message that rundll32 is missing or the dialog box that asks you what program I want to use to open the application. However, the user interface for the virus no longer appears.

  2. Ran system restore. It displays a message that the system could not be restored to the point that I selected.

  3 in Ran safe mode system restore.  It only gave me the restore points once infection has occurred. What good is that? I used the restore of the system before so I know it was working properly at any given time.

  4 installed Norton Security Suite provided by Comcast and ran a scan. He recorded 3 other viruses and deleted the.

  At this point, I cannot run programs in my nonadministrator account and cannot use restoring the system to a date, I know that my computer has not been infected by this virus. The administrator account is fine but I don't want to use it for web browsing, because I'm still worse off if that is infected. I created another nonadministrator account to use at the same time, but I want to get the account I was using when the computer has been infected work since this is when I start all my applications.  Someone in the community has some ideas to remedy at hand using the XP repair?

  Also, can someone in the community to recommend a good book for the Windows XP operating system problems? I would like to know how to fix this problem on mine within a reasonable period of time.

  Thanks for any response.

  What is the Doug Knox fix you have running?

  Go to this site WWW by Doug Knox:

  http://www.dougknox.com/

  On the left, click on the Win XP fixes, file Association fixed and read the instructions at the top of the page.

  Download the EXE File Association Fix on your desktop, unzip the file and apply it by following the instructions at the top of the page, then to restart and test.

  If not, you need to run it or run it again.

  You get to a command prompt:

  Click Start, run and enter in the box:

  cmd

  Click OK to open a command prompt window, and then navigate to your system32 folder by typing this command:

  CD \windows\system32

  See if you can open the Control Panel System applet by entering this command:

  Control sysdm.cpl

  Describe the results.

  If you get a rundll32 error, see if the file is actually missing or not, enter this command:

  Rundll32.exe dir

  For SP2, the rundll32.exe file should report with 31 744 bytes (it's different for SP3).

  While you're at the command prompt, enter the following command:

  path

  Be very sure you see at least something like this:

  ... % SystemRoot%\system32;c:\windows\system32;

  SystemRoot is the nickname for the Windows installation folder.

• Local user account

  Hi, on a new computer a local user account has been created and loaded with personal folders.

  Two weeks later, another user account was created with an address of the user online.

  The first user account was deleted with its countain.

  Is it possible to recover the deleted account?

  Thank you

  Not sure if the system restore can restore a user account, but worth a try if you have a restore point before the account was deleted.

• User account control problems

  MY ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT HAS BEEN DELETED SOMEHOW. WHEN ANOTHER ACCOUNT IS OPEN AND WE ARE TRYING TO REMOVE A PROGRAM OR START SYSTEM RESTORE THE USER ACCOUNT CONTROL BOX NOW COMES UP TO ASK PERMISSION TO CONTINUE. WE CANNOT ENTER ANY PASSWORD. USER ACCOUNT CONTROL IS TURN OFF MY COMPUTER. HELP PLEASE!

  The first thing to try is go to Safe Mode to see if the disabled built-in Administrator account normally is now available. Enter Safe Mode by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. This will put you in the right menu. Use your arrow key to select Safe mode, and then press the Enter key. If you see an icon for the administrator on the Welcome screen, log into this account and make your changes. Follow the recommendations for setting up the accounts of user below.

  If you do not see an icon for the administrator mode without failure, post back for further instructions.

  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 an OS multi-user with system built-in accounts such as administrator, by default, all users and guest. 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 it will take third-party tools and work outside the operating system.

  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. 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).

• User account now points to a different user account files

  Several users have in our household have accounts on a laptop.  One of the accounts mysteriously began to point to a different user account files.  All other user accounts seem to work normally.

  UAC is not running on the machine.  The user account with the problem and that to which it points now have administrator privileges.  Windows Update is active.  The 2 latest updates prior to the issuance have been updated to Windows defender.

  How to restore this user account to the way it was?

  Hey Super,

  It is possible that the location of each of the user data folder are changed to the other user account.

  First check if the user account folders do not exist in the C:\drive\users and then continue with the steps below.

  You will need to each user account folder redirected to its original location and check if it works.

  1 right click on the folder that you want to restore to its original location, and then click Properties.
  2. click on the location tab, click restore default, and then click OK.

  You will need to do this for each individual user account folder that points to the other user account folders.
  Redirect a folder to a new location

  If the previous step fails while the user account may be damaged, you will need to check if the problem persists in a new user account and later to fix a corrupted user account.

• lost user account after using the windows recovery disk.

  Help, please. I turned on my computer and found that windows vista could not start due to a currupt file.

  I have tried rebooting several times without success and ended by using the samsung recovery disc to get windows vista to work.

  I had to create a new user account and have been able to find my original account on the C drive but don't know how to restore it so I don't have start with a new account from scratch.

  Any help is appreciated.

  Information, the original version of windows is now called windows.old and it is here that I want to use the user account.

  Hi Geek teenager,

  Surly there is a way to restore the user account that is sitting in windows.old on the C: drive, instead of having to reinstall all the programs that I never downloaded?

  Programs need to be reinstalled from the original media: CD, DVD, download, etc.

  You can recover data from the windows.old folder, but not programs.

  Set up a new account.

• Lost access to the programs, not a virus or registry problem. Lost the rights to the user (?) but cannot access restore or modify user accounts

  1st, I tried almost every fix suggested on this relatively common problem with no joy.  It is not a virus, unless it's something very new not found by all the usual scanners.

  Only way to access the programs EXE is to run the command prompt by going to with CTRL - tour of the new task (run) in the Task Manager menu and then navigate to the appropriate directory and run the program from the command prompt.   Run virus checker and run various registry fixes recommended here with no joy.  Safe mode does not help with the launch of the EXE.

  Because I get the 'Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file.  You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.  When I try to run an exe from a link, I think I have lost the user privileges.  But, since I can't change the accounts of users or the restore, I can't try to do anything there.

  This problem occurred after uninstalling several old unused programs followed by performing a disk defragmentation.  (everything is done using Microsoft System Tools).  PC worked after doing these things in vain after the next reboot.

  Curiously, I CAN start the web browser from the start menu to post this message.

  Another clue: I can't start programs by clicking on them, but I CAN run the program by opening a file type associated with this program, i.e., opening a file named text.doc will cause Word to open.

  I am a fairly experienced user, but I'm stumped.  Any suggestions?

  Found solution...

  Looked user accounts change program but cannot find or identify it was so impossible to try it.

  I was finally able to identify (in trial & error) the restore program and run it using the command window.

  The program (rstrui.exe) was found in C:\Windows\System32\Restore\rstrui.exe

  I was able to run and to restore to a date when this problem started and that fix.   Still don't know what was the problem of the root but happy to be able to fully use this PC back again.
   
  Thank you to everyone who made suggestions.

• NETFramework will not work research restoration help and user account blank screens

  When I try to access the microsoft fix option it says need net framework, but it is installed to restore the white screen go to the empty user account go to help the screen white screen

  Do not rely on any Microsoft Fix option never work.  They might work, but I not rely on it, count on it or expect to work.  You'll usually just fix things yourself by hand (as this problem of yours now).

  Your screen just says 'User accounts' user accounts in the title bar and have just the rear buttons, forward and home?

  If your system restore page display only the title bar 'System Restore', or your accounts settings page of users shows that the 'User accounts' title bar and the screen where information needs to be is an empty white box...

  System Restore is a frequent target of attacks by malicious software.  If SR was working before and is now afflicted, run some scans and then fix any problems.

  Remember that the system restore is not a time machine.

  Your system is currently or has been reached by malicious software.

  You can now fix the symptom and find malware later, or you can now search for malware and fix the remains later (but you need to do both).

  I recommend just fixing the symptom of the empty page and forget to do the scans.  The symptom of the problem of fixing and fixing the problem are two different things.

  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:

  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

  The scans using own it may also be necessary to re-register some dll (or you can do this part first, but you still have to do the scans).

  To solve the immediate problem:

  Looks like your file jscript.dll became somehow not registered so you can re-record it.

  There are probably a few other things that do not work you know yet, so fix them all at once.

  Re-registration of these DLLs is correct, even if they do not need renewal.  You can also re-register the dll before the scans that can solve the problem, but the scans are always recommended.

  Click Start, run, and in the box enter orders following one at a time.  Click the OK button to execute each command one at a time.

  regsvr32 jscript.dll
  regsvr32 vbscript .dll
  regsvr32 /i mshtml.dll (it's a look of slash)

  The last order for mshtml load the DLL but can also contain a harmless warning depending on your environment.

  Now check your timetable for restoration of the system and/or the user account settings page.

• 'Lost' admin user account - cannot use the system restore

  We have an old desktop running XP Media. At 6 accounts on - account admin 1 parent, 4 other named accts (non admin) and 1 guest (non admin)

  The system is somehow now starts only showing 1 user account - non-admin one child one.  In management of the computer (administrative tools), accounts are but are not accessible.

  Have no idea how to access / info. Unable to use System Restore as one account stated is a non-admin one.

  Can someone help, please? -have been Googling for a few hours now :(

  As a last resort, you can try the following procedure:

  "How do I recover from a corrupted registry that prevents Windows XP startup"
    <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/307545 >

  Which essentially restores the registry from a backup copy kept with the files in system restore.  In part 2, select a dated folder until you have had this problem to copy the registry of the.  Personally, I find it is easier to start from free Linux Livecd like Knoppix , in which case you can start the procedure in part 2, step 6 using Linux and paste to copy files to their desired location.  Live CD of Linux has no problems with dealing with the status of "Super hidden" System Volume Information folder.

  Good luck and HTH,

• I deleted several accounts of users, but after that I have restart the laptop all user accounts have been restored?

  I deleted several user accounts and need to restart to changesw can take effect, but after that I have to restart the laptop then all user accounts have been restored?

  Hi GhettoBoy,

  How do you delete user accounts? Is it just C:\Dosument and settings users or accounts under the control panel? If you don't want to keep all these account data, you can try to delete the profile of click Start-> settings-> Control Panel-> system-> Advanced-> user profile and select the profile and remove. Also check under 'User accounts' in the control panel to remove the names of users.

  I hope this helps.

  6. click on groups.

  7 double-click on administrators.
