several user accounts?

I'm obviously new to windows 8 and windows 8 wants that each user to create their own Microsoft account to connect with.  With previous editions of windows, anyone could turn on your computer and access things like photos, documents, music, etc., which was stored on the PC.  So now, if everyone has to connect separately, how everyone has access to these things?

is there a way to create 1 account in which you can have several "tiles" for each email users?

any help would be a great help!

Thank you

In win 8 you have public and private folders.  If you want others to have access to data, you can be put in the public folder or 'sharing' your files.

You can (and should) have individual logons (and emails), but it's pretty easy to "" share ".

  • I have to add several user accounts to understand?

    I could create a situation particularly on Windows 8, in order to better understand where I have all of these potential users say on a single machine, and I'm all user accounts. "These people" have access to this computer, and then I create a guest account. I am studying computer science and IT, and it's a sort of curiosity, if you want to.

    One thing I noticed is that i can use incalculable resources on my hard drive that could fill and get bogged down I'm afraid. What do you think of all this? Vista seems to be the prototype, but you know that it applies to several versions of windows.

    Hi Charles,

    Thanks for the reply with more information.

    In Windows 7 you can do, is you can create a new administrator account as a standard account. Similarly, you would have all the privileges and access to all the features and the program in Administrator account. In the standard account, you have limited resources and probably can try different tasks and get to know the differences.

    And also, you can delete the accounts of users at any time.

  • Which is better to have several user accounts from window for the same person, so having much Firefoxes or have much Firefoxes under a Windows account user?

    Right now I have about 6 window user accounts (just for me on a single computer) because I didn't know I could put more Firefox then one per account. I leave the tabs upward when I close Firefox, because if I just bookmarks I won't finish my work I was doing with these sites. Now that I know how to put multiple Firefoxes under a user account. That would make my computer fast or not, it matter if I put all my Firefoxes on a window user account or have 6 windows user accounts, each with their own Firefox?
    -Thank you

    It is more work to move to a different Windows account and then open another instance of Firefox with a different profile.
    If you only use other windows accounts for the use of Firefox like this and not for any other purpose, then there is nothing against the passage to a single Windows account to make it easier to manage such things as the backup of your personal data or copy data between the other profiles.

    So, it's up to you if you want to switch to a single Windows account.

  • Copy programs to several user accounts

    I have copied MS word and excel links from the Office to my user account, but when I go into one of the other accounts I am more able to find these applications to create shortcuts on the desktop (or even access) products.   It is possible that I moved the entire application on the desktop of a user account and I'm no more able to bring him back or access it from other accounts.

    Any ideas how to fix?

    It seems that you install instead of a single account for all accounts on the system.  For some programs, there is an option ask this during installation (I don't know if this applies to the office or not, but I thought that this was the case).  In any case, there is an easier solution than uninstalling and reinstalling Office assuming that could fix things.

    In any case, here's how to solve the problem.  I don't know if you'll be able to do both for the whole office or if you must do this for each individual request, but anyway, this should work to get access to all users of the system. http://www.Dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-share-programs-with-other-users-in-Windows-.html I'm not sure if this is going to create shortcut icons - so you may need to create shortcuts in any of the added accounts (using the new information and not the information the account alone who works first) and then you can copy this set of shortcuts for other user accounts (if necessary - it can do it automatically - I'm not sure and just wanted to cover all bases).

    I hope this helps.

  • Several user accounts in Windows 7 and Windows 10 update

    Hello

    I'll update my Windows 7 Windows 10 and I was wondering what would happen to user accounts on Windows 7?

    The situation is this: the computer is used by me and my brother, and each of us has his user account. There are different programs that I installed with my account and he installed on his 'side' with his user account. There are also a lot of files that I don't want to lose with the update.

    Is there a safe way for users to transition safely two accounts?

    P.S. I read about backing up my files and I will not fail to do if there is no definitive answer to my question.

    Is there a safe way for users to transition safely two accounts?

    -> If the upgrade goes well, both accounts will be maintained.

    I read on the backup of my files and I will not fail to do if there is no definitive answer to my question.

    -> Wrong question. There is no certainty in life and the view of upgrade countless problems reported in these forums, you would take a serious risk, if you have not backed up your files beforehand.

    You seem not to be aware of this rule of iron of the processing of the data. It is said that all important files should be kept at all times on two independent media. A lot of people ignore this rule. Here we see them when something goes wrong. It can be a tough lesson to learn.

  • With several user accounts activation problems

    I'm activation problems on my iMac family. I have subscription CC photography that I use on my Mac work, and my wife has the full subscription of CC, she uses on his mac to work. We now have an iMac shared with accounts of different users for each of us. We continue however, getting errors with creative sign-in cloud. It seems that the inscription to CC on my mac account sign my wife out and vice versa. If we try to connect to CC on both accounts Mac with the same user Adobe CC, CC sees each account two separate computers and we have exceeded the activation limit. Any advice?

    As far as I know, you can't have two activations open at the same time on a single computer... you MUST sign for it to connect and vice versa to be able to use your account

  • Windows 7, Firefox 8.0, several user accounts, Firefox seems only to access internet for 1 user, IE works for all

    Most of the users of Win 7 cannot load the pages using Firefox, Internet Explorer works for them.

    One possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox in the list of permissions in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

    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.

  • Photos - photos of iCloud - several users share data bases

    Hi hoping someone can point me in the right direction here as it is driving me crazy!

    New Mac mini, OS X and photos app.

    Basically, I want to share a unique data base of Photos between two users on the same Mac accounts. Have followed all the advice online, I'm always running into difficulty. I put the database on an external SSD with permissions in place for any user access to the base (but only one at a time of course).

    All very well so far, but here comes the question. I want pictures of iCloud enabled on one of the accounts with complete download of all pictures to iCloud, when I get out of the photos, the photolibraryd process remains active. This means that when I change the account and you are trying to access the photos, I can't because photoslibraryd in the other account is accessed again. To work around this I started to enter photoslibraryd monitor and the murder of activity as well as the Photos itself before you log in to the second account and to access the Photos. This seems to work (but is a bit of a pain if I forgot!) - which is a lot more pain, it's that if I add some photos in the second account and then go back to the first, rather than synchronize the new photos with iCloud, product photos across the entire library 20,0000 resynchronization photo! It's bad!

    I have approached the wrong way? Is there a better way to achieve what I want - that is entirely database of shared photos between two users on the same Mac (with photo stream enabled on both accounts for these devices which have not iCloud photo activated) and iCloud photo enabled on one of the Mac accounts - without killing the process or any what fees General massive sync?

    Grateful for any help.

    Thank you very much

    Rich.

    It is not possible to share a library of photos between several users, if the library in question is your system library. If you cannot share the library used as the iCloud photo library with others.  If you want to share photos with others, use a separate library of Photos to share and transfer photos from there to your iCloud library.

    I found this in the documentation for PowerPhotos:

    : https://www.fatcatsoftware.com/powerphotos/Help/sharing%20a%20library%20between% 20multiple%20user%20accounts%20on%20one%20mac.html

    Share a library between several user accounts on a Mac

    Photos is not designed with use multi-user in mind, which makes it very difficult to create a configuration where only one library of Photos are accessed through accounts on your Mac. If you want to share a library in this way, the following restrictions will be applied (for the bottom of discussion, we have two users named A and B we want to share a library):

    1. Account that a single user can never open a library given in Photos at the same time. Before you can use the shared library as long as the user has, make sure to leave Photos as user B.
    2. None of the user accounts that access the library may designate as their "library system". The library system is actually open at any time by OS X in the background, as long as that user is connected, even while quitting smoking pictures not free the library so that another user can open. You must designate another library system library, or completely close the session user B before trying to access the library as user A. Note that this also prevents having this synchronization of library with iCloud.
    3. The library cannot be stored on your internal drive or any other drive where the permissions are respected. Fighting against the permissions on OS X is a losing battle. While you can play whack-a-mole to try to correct the permissions on the library before you open it, then something goes wrong and it is likely that you will be unable to access a part of your library. You should keep the library on an external drive and in the read window information in the Finder, make sure the checkbox "Ignore permissions on this volume" is checked.

  • I need help to get rid old parental control user accounts

    I had several user accounts I created then to monitor parental controls.  My computer had to be indented by default settings/factory settings because there is an error not connected blue screened my PC.  I have now implemented some additional, other than user accounts and only that was left on my PC (end-user), when he returned from PC World - work.  These names come in the section of control panel user account, but not the 'old'.  However, the family safety Web site still shows these old names and it generate reports of e-mail about the activity, which they may show no activity due to being is no longer accessible.  How can I erase the please.

    I had the same problem in November and has responded to my request.  I don't seem to have the option, they told me so "go in manage account names" or something similar. I've been on the site, where the names are listed, but all I can do is stationary on a name and does nothing right click, left click brings this account to the screen.  Very confused.  Apologizes to the previous respondent.  Must be something wrong.

    1. connect to https://familysafety.microsoft.com using the parent account.

    2. click on manage the list of the members of the family. This is located under the list of the members of the family.

    3. check on behalf of the child, and then click Remove. Click delete again to confirm.
