Select a type of user account (for example, standard user, restricted user, and other types) on computer XP pro?

Hello.

I have a question about how to select the type of user account for each user account.

I read that if I type 'control userpasswords2' term, it will bring up a window of hidden user accounts.  In this window, select a name of the user account and click property, click on membership group and it will show all the type of account you can purchase (including the standard user, restricted user, the other who has many other types)

Here is the link I read

http://www.exnol.com/globally-control-and-change-all-users-passwords-in-Windows

Let's say my computer is XP pro and it is in the home (not domain joined ) working group. Am I able to set these types of accounts to my user account using 'control userpasswords2' just as I explained above?

I was wondering because I read in the microsoft help article or somewhere that it indicates that the computer must be on the field to be able to choose the type of account by using this process, I explained, and one account type you can choose where your computer is located in the Working Group's account admin or limited using the control panel then click on accounts of users... but other said it should not be on the field... I got confused.

I would like to try it myself, but I don't have XP pro computer with me right now, I'd appreciate it really if someone could help me with the answer.

Hi greenyy,

If you are the administrator of the machine Windows XP Professional, you can use the command 'control userpasswords2' and access the list of user accounts and change the type of account.

You need not necessarily be on a domain, however, it may not work for some types of user accounts on a working group.

A test, you can try to change the type of account for user accounts & check if it works.

Reference: To change the type of user account 

Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

    Just download, install and activate using your serial number.  You are allowed to have the software installed and enabled on both machines.  If you do want to keep the original installation of backup you can turn it off by opening one of the programs and by selecting help-> Deactivate.

    Here's a general link for where you can find the download links...

    If you want a more direct link, you must name the software and version.

    If you need your serial number, you should be able to find it in your account Adobe online if you have registered the software when you install everything first.

    Thank you
    Hi Johnny,.
     

    Looks like you are unable to get users and groups under computer management.

     
    I would like to gather information to help you:
     

     
    (1) how do you try to locate users and groups under computer management?
    (2) you are able to view other folders in the same section?
    (3) don't you make changes to the computer before this problem?

    (a) Windows and X set button, and then select computer management.
    (b) double click on system tools.
    (c) click on local users and groups.
    (d) check if you are able to find users and groups folder.

  • Difficulty for the inhibition of the mouse and other 'clicks' does not

    I followed the procedure described for the inhibition of the mouse and other clicks in Internet Explorer (model sounds, set Start Navigation and window block pop-up 'None', click OK), but the clicks continue.  When I call to the top of the window of his plan once again, the speakers are back next to Start browsing and Popup window blocked.  How to make it so that just listening to music is the only sound?

    Start > Control Panel > sounds & Audio > sounds tab and disable these windows sound you want / need.

    TO return to your pop-up windows, disable the blocker.

    By doing this, you can have a gogo advertising. That being said, if the site that you are using ActiveX controls for pop-up windows, you should get a choice to accept or decline their of this particular Web site (between the main window of IE and the toolbar).

  • When you move the timeline indicator - it deselects selected clips previously (to add fx for example) in cc2015 - why?

    Hey everybody, I would be grateful is someone could answer this for me:

    When I selected more clips to add fx for them - and try to move the timeline indicator to see if I left out the clips more, as soon as it comes to a previously deselected clip - all my selections disappear.

    It could be related to the fact that each clip gets selected when I scroll up and down the timeline without doing me anything. (No need to click on the clip so that it can be selected).

    Please someone make me know what I am doing wrong or what setting I accidentally put under tension! I want that this party

    Thank you!!!

    Uncheck the selection follows the playhead to the title sequence.

  • Since the upgrade to CS6, I see is no longer how to convert files from, for example, a PDF to JPEG and vice versa.  It used to be so simple.  Can anyone help with this?

    Since the upgrade to CS6, I say is no longer how do to convert files from, for example, a PDF file as a JPEG or another type (gif, png, etc.).  When I look at the file in the Finder it simply brings me directly to my original in inDesign document, rather than to appear on the left side of the screen with the save option under sub folder as it did before.  Does anyone know how I can convert the files, I need to do a lot!

    ???? Conversion of files with InDesign? Never have been possible. The only thing you could and can do is to export an InDesign document. You can export to PDF, jpg, etc. just like before.

  • Firefox loses Internet every 5-10 minutes (as for example, Skype does not work), and the only way to solve this is to reset the network adapter (reset DNS and get the new IP address?)

    I click with the right button on the icon of the network adapter and press "fix." After that, I can browse sites for 5-15 minutes. But then the story repeats itself. And all of this can happen while I will have a video chat on Skype, so the internet connection is OK.

    • Try this.
    • Type in the bar of address about: config.
    • Accept the warning.
    • On the page that appears, in the filter box, type Network.http.Max - connections.
    • Replace the value 32 (which is probably the value 256 in your case).
    • Close the topic: config page.
    • Restart the browser.
  • Now, many of my keys are shortcut keys. For example, 'L' now disconnect me and "N" takes me to the computer. I can no longer use the keyboard.

    My big cat crossed my laptop keyboard Dell (with Vista) and now many of my key take me in crazy places. This happens in all programs. I can't use the keyboard to type. Is anyone know how it happened and how to fix it?  Thank you very much

    Things you want to try:

    O examine your keyboard for any accumulation of dust, dirt, liquids or other particles that could be causing the keys to type characters.

    Ø Disengagethe (FN) key on the keyboard, make sure that the led of the button turns off.

    O check if your number lock (NumLock) key is enabled. If so, the key to disengage.

    O confirm that your keyboard is set to the English language.

  • Firefox displays blank spaces where text should be (for example, by displaying the code), but other browsers

    Firefox does not completely display the text in a Web site, but other browsers. It displays blank spaces in some sections.

    Thanks to all who have replied but I actually quit using firefox after this frustration. I finally found a solution of this page: http://askubuntu.com/questions/118346/firefox-doesn ' t-display-site Web-text

    I had run the script to reset the cache of police on machines and change the permissions. Now, everything seems to work correctly. I look with suspicion, but I think I can use firefox!

  • Stored procedure to get the Admin users and other users

    Hey,.

    I am new to stored procedures in Oracle and would really appreciate the help! I have two tables:

    _ Of the users
    ID USERNAME - PARENT_GROUP - IS_ADMIN
    ---------------------------------------
    1 jsmith - 1-0
    brogerson 2-1 - 1
    3 jloren - 2-0

    Groups
    ID - GROUPNAME
    -----------------------------------------
    1 - ITUsers
    2 - AcctUsers

    I would like to create a procedure that accepts a users username and returns all users in their group and the user id, or if the user is marked IS_ADMIN, I want that procedure to return all of the users in all groups.

    How can I do this? Ideally, I would like the result of the funnel in a DataGridView in c#.

    Thank you in advance,

    Hi, Jeffrey.

    You can create a view with two copies of the users table: one for the parameter (the original user, you intend to provide run-time) and one for all users in the two
    (a) in the same Department, or,
    (b) any Department, if the user is an administrator

    CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW  p_users
    AS
    SELECT       u.*
    ,       g.groupname
    ,       pu.username   AS p_username
    FROM       users          pu
    JOIN       groups     g     ON     pu.parent_group     = g.id
                          OR     pu.is_admin     = 1
    JOIN       users          u     ON     u.parent_group     = g.id
    ;
    

    You can use the view like this:

    SELECT       *
    FROM       p_users
    WHERE       p_username     = 'jsmith'
    ;
    

    The above query returns all users in Group 1, because jsith is in Group 1, but is not an administrator.
    Change 'jsmith' to 'brogerson' and you get everybody, because brogerson is an administrator.

    This assumes that each user is member of a group.

    If you create a namespace SYS_CONTEXT to contain the parameter (the target user name), then you could build the setting in the view:

    CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW  p_users
    AS
    SELECT       u.*
    ,       g.groupname
    ,       pu.username   AS p_username
    FROM       users          pu
    JOIN       groups     g     ON     pu.parent_group     = g.id
                          OR     pu.is_admin     = 1
    JOIN       users          u     ON     u.parent_group     = g.id
    WHERE       pu.username     = SYS_CONTEXT ('MY_APP_CONTEXT', 'USERNAME')
    ;
    

    and you wouldn't need a WHERE clause when you query p_users.

  • WARNING - Firefox v25 + (PC) can be dangerous for banking online, payment of invoice and other financial transactions.

    Mozilla, do not delete this view until you have solved the problem, or I simply notifies
    the press and my U.S. Senator, Senator Dianne Feinstein, Chair of the Senate Committee on
    Intelligence.

    Since Mozilla refuses to provide any way for a user to speak with the technical staff, it is my only
    means left. I'll try to leave out some tech details - encourage not any other
    exploitation of this hole of major back door security of Firefox.

    Firefox v25 + allows a door access stealthily followed Google at any time, on any site, unbeknownst to the user, much less consent. I have documented more than 230 cases to happen by Firefox on my PC alone, only since November 19, 2013.

    You do not have to visit a site to trigger this follow-up, just open Firefox can / will start the channel
    multiple attempts by time, in a few minutes.

    Mozilla itself or a Mozilla approved 'module' suddenly granted this access. No security
    The "module", software or Firefox anti-suivi fiction 'Features' will catch and block, because it is not
    initiated by the visit to the site of any user.

    If you think that Google is a bit benign, they are not - they are one of the largest in the world
    personal data thieves and brokerage firms.

    I don't tell you what clues to look for here - but Mozilla PLEASE block this backdoor ASAP.

    Firefox can update the database of phishing protection.

    2) change to the text tool

    3) click on the text element in the workspace
