• Restore accidentally deleted user profile in Windows 7 via Explorer.

  Hello

  Yesterday I left my PC opened up before my 5 year old on screen was Explorer/C /properties / Security tab and my little one deleted ("JNT" created my me) by the user and the authorized user. My data is not lost. I still have the SID in the registry. No system restore does not work either drive C is accessible when I connect through "JNT". During this time I created the copy of all the JNT files to the new user. JNT not having and all rights of the administrator now. How can I recover the old JNT to funciton user account. and how so authorized user account.

  Thanks in advance.

  JNT

  Sorry, if you don't have any useful restore points so I don't know any way to restore deleted profiles. You probably have to do:

  1. Logging in as an administrator account.
  2. Create new accounts.
  3. Restore your backup files.
  4. Set the permissions to give access to new accounts in the restored files.

  Hello

  What you see in system properties / user profiles window is normal. It shows the name of the computer + your user account name.

  You can change your user account name.

  Press the Windows key + X to display the System Menu , and then click Control Panel.

  Select the user accounts , then click on the option change the name of your account .

  One thing that you must be aware, is that, even if you change your account name, the only place where you can see the new name is on the Log In screen and the start screen. All of your user files will still show the old name in the file Explorer.

  2. change the user profile DB default DEFAULT value for a custom profile as shown above?

  (1) as far as the database is concerned, EM is just another app, which just happens to connect with the credentials for DBSNMP.

  (2) any process that connects to the database must know what username and password to use for this connection.

  (3) any process that connects to the database (EM, or YOUR_CORPORATE_APP or sitting in front of a keyboard) necessarily must keep their passwords somewhere - in your head, the sticky notes stuck on screen (practical baaad), in a text file and in the case of the MA, in an xml file.

  (4) so whenever you change a password, the process that uses this password needs to know what the password is, and store it in all repository it uses for this purpose.  That's what note ml, tell you how and where to put the new password in the repository that MS uses to remember his password.

  (5) therefore the same principle will apply to all other user accounts.  If you (or a process on your behalf) changes a password, you (or some process on your behalf) should inform the user in a manner in which the user can understand and take the necessary measures.

  If you change a password, you must inform the user.  Period.  Full stop.

  And that's really what are the notes of ML SYSMAN and DBNSMP.  There is really nothing 'special' to their topic.  The processes that use these accounts (EM, or YOUR_CORPORATE_APP or sitting in front of a keyboard) keep their passwords somewhere - in your head, on sticky notes pasted (practical baaad) onscreen, in a text file and in the case of the MA, in an xml file.  So whenever you change a password, the process that uses this password needs to know what is the new password.

• Windows continues to change user profile folder

  Hi all
   
  I'm facing a real headache. My computer continues to change user profiles folder every restart 2 or 3. For example, my user name is MSF\Bob. The user profile folder has been C:\Document & Settings\Bob. After a restart, Windows create a C:\Document & Settings\Bob.MSF then Bob.MSF.000 and Bob.MSF.001 folder and so on.
   
  Someone has an idea why this is happening and how I can prevent this?
   
  I thank very you much in advance!
   
  Best regards

  Easy question to answer.  You simply have a corrupted profile.

  When Windows detects a corrupted profile, it automatically generates a temporary with names profile as you describe.  Usually, these profiles are deleted when you connect your computer turned off, but not always.  The solution is quite simple.  You just need to recover your corrupt profile.   There are two general approaches.  One is to do a system restore to a point in time before the profile was first damaged.  The other usually involves the creation of a new user and moving profile data on to the new user (you may reset some of your settings).  To do this, choose one of the following articles and follow through:

  "How to recover damaged Windows XP user profile"

  "How to copy data from a corrupted to a new profile in Windows XP user profile"

  "Windows XP problems if your profile is corrupted"
    <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326688 >

  HTH,
  JW

  PS: Corrupt profiles are almost always accompanied by alteration of the disc as well.  After your recovery, perform a check disk (chkdsk) with the "/ R" or "/ F" option

• Pavilion Slimline 400-314: cannot delete the renamed user profile

  Greetings!

  I've been enjoying the nuances of Windows 8.1... right.  In any case, I have Win8.1 64-bit on this excellent HP SLimline PC.  Now, I need help with the operating system.  I am an avid user of Windows 7 and like it a lot. My four PC's the only one with 8.1 and I have some learning curve experiments, of which this is one.

  So, I got this computer since July 2014 and did not otherwise than with the administration of the accounts.  The problem is that the account administrative principal (Yes, I use two accounts, one for the daily work and an administrator account to manage the computer - life is safer like that).

  The username admin account had to be changed, so I did.  You would think that changing the name of the account automatically would do this in all areas of the system filiing.  In this case, not so much.  WIN8.1 has created a new profile.

  I'm not saying that the name of the profile has not changed for purposes of connection, he fact and that seems fine.  However, looking at the users listed in the Explorer file and also on the network, the old user profile still exists with all rights and privileges of the Administrator profile normal.

  I think that's not good for two reasons; It is confusing on the network. It also creates a set of accessible files because there is no way to connect to clean.  And it may pose a security problem.

  Also, note that has not degraded the function of the computer, but it appears sometimes in unpredictable circumstances.

  What have I done to alleviate this problem?   Initially took a chance on system restore. I do not have a restore point will go back far in time to correct it.  Then I tried the old "select and delete" some content. Not a good idea and the system let me not in all cases.  I don't know that it needs to be done by the operating system.  I'm not sure I want to change the registry immediately, but maybe it's my only choice.

  So, I'm at a stand still for the resolution. Not wanting to rebuild the computer, I need a way to rub user profiles and delete the one which is supposed to be deleted.

  As always, thanks to all those who can suggest a positive way to correct this problem. It's probably very easy... maybe

  Banhien... Thanks for all your help in this matter.  Between your good suggestions and a little thought on my part, I was able to remove the 'extra' account on the computer.  To change the standard account using your idea was the key, except in this case, it was a little more complex.

  Note that there are only meant to be two accounts on this computer.  Here's what I had to do:

  1 log on as an administrator.

  2. change the administrator account.

  3 Rename the account administrator to the name that it was before I renamed it and capture a standard user.

  4 restart the computer (even if it is perhaps not necessary, just a good idea so that everything lines up again)

  5. open a session under the 'new' admin account (that I changed standard user)

  6. remove the standard account renamed and all of its associated files.

  7. create a new Admin account as the administrator

  8 change the original standard user, turned administrator, standard user feedback.

  Now, I'm back for two accounts;  an administrator account and a Standard user account.

  Restarted the computer.

  Set up the 'new' account of the administrator

  Thanks again for your help. Have a great day.

  • Scenario 1: You recently set a new password for the protected administrator account. However, you don't remember the password.
  • Scenario 2: You type the correct password. However, Windows Vista or Windows 7 does not accept the password because the system is damaged.
  • Scenario 3: You delete a protected administrator account. Now, you cannot connect to another administrator account.
