• How to run a program as an administrator on a standard user account without be prompted for the password

  I have this software that doesn't work correctly than if you run it as administrator.  When you run it as administrator on the standard user account, it asks you the password.  How you turn off the prompt for password for that one software only? Or how you also run a software Administrator without being prompted to enter a password?

  Thanks for your help.

  Matt,

  Since you don't have a Vista Home Premium, I found another article that describes a way to get around it to make a registry change.

  The following Web site:
  http://www.eCoustics.com/PCW/HOWTO/140134

  Vista Home Premium is not the Group Policy Editor. To make the changes in this version, you must change the registry. Before making any changes to the registry, back it up following the instructions in "block Cookies for spying, but keep the most useful" (scroll down to the area of blue text at the bottom of the page).

  With your backup of the registry in place, click Start, type regedit and press ENTER. In the tree on the left pane, navigate to Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. With the icon system selected in the left pane, double-click on ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin in the right pane. Change the data value to 0, then click on OK. You should see the effect immediately (no restart required).

  Not sure if this will help, but thought that I have it send your way.

  Thank you

• Password Recovery - need to edit the registry - cannot open a session

  So, I got a brand new 1 TB SSD... Just got Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit installed and approximately 20 or so of my favorite programs.

  Everything is running fine...  On my old hard drive, I didn't have to type a password when my system started... Hmm...

  I think I'll search the Internet and see how to change this... I made three changes... I added "DefaultUserName" "DefaultPassword", I added, and I changed AutoLogon to 1... Now... when I ReBoot... the screen comes up and says... New user... and the two fields are empty... I tried to type my username and password... Windows does not like that... I tried to hit just Enter... Windows doesn't like either. I tried to start safe mode... I had the same Logon screen for new user...... .i put my purchased copy of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit in my DVD player... one that I installed from... advertising and punt him... When I clicked on "Computer repair" I got an error saying that the CD was the "wrong Version" and that it was NOT compatible with the version that is installed... What the devil. ??? I just installed Windows two weeks ago on this disc very... Microsoft has kicked out several updates that now my installation is no longer compatible with my installation disc?

  What should I do to overcome the problem of password? Is there a way to boot from a floppy disk BACK and change the registry from a command prompt... I won't have any problems remembering what three changes I made... I just need to go and undo the... Help, please!

  Thank you, David, ThunderBoyDavid

  Oh... If the e-mail address is visible... I use my wife's PC... Thank God we have separate PCs. She runs 10 64-bit Windows.

  REALLY... Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. !!! OH... and no.. I never did a password reset disk... I'm sorry.

  I made three changes... I added "DefaultUserName" "DefaultPassword", I added, and I changed AutoLogon to 1

  -> Where exactly did you make these changes? Hack you the registry?

  Is there a way to boot from a floppy disk BACK and edit the registry from a command prompt?

  ->, It is possible to change the registry from a command prompt, but it is neither simple nor recommended. BTW - the last we saw of DOS Windows accompanied me, 16 years ago. There is no BACK in Windows 7.

  You must press F8 to boot the machine into Windows Repair Mode, and then use the system restore to restore Windows to a point before you did what you did.

  When you are finished, use the following command to automate the logon process. It is the only approved way.

• Demote a standard user account when the account was promoted to admin using a program named pclogin now

  My son used pc connect now on upgade its standard user account to administrator now when I try to downgrade, it does nothing. I can't remove it or even when I try to put this in command prompt net user 'account' / del it says not found user account. How can I remove or demote

  I was in an administrator account. When I did the brute force we were always there when I restarted the computer.

  "Brute force" involves a little more by using an administrator account. Assuming that you want to delete the folder "C:\Users\Harry, you can do the following:

  1. Reboot the computer.
  2. Logging in as an administrator account.
  3. Click the start planet.
  4. Type cmd.exe in the search box.
  5. Press Ctrl + Shift + Enter
  6. Click on "Run as Administrator".
  7. Type the following commands and press ENTER after each:
     takeown /f "c:\Users\Harry" / r
     Cacls /g /T "C:\Users\Harry."
     ("are answer Yes when asked you sure?")
     RD /s /q "C:\Users\Harry."

• The admin user doesn't have access to the Standard user account files

  OK, I'm lost.  It's crazy.

  After reading the reasons to do most of your work on/as a Standard user, I created a user account (quite a while) and have been using it since--and perhaps the way I did have this problem.

  If I remember correctly, this is how I did it.  I had a LOT of files under my old ID admin, so I created another Admin account and then replaced by former Admin account is a Standard user account.  I have been connected and makes every slot the user account Standard since then, with Windows poping a request my Admin password whenever he needed.

  Today, I needed to change a tax return of 2013 - and when I reloaded TurboTax last year and needed to get the State program, TurboTax wouldn't, claiming that I need to be logged in as an Admin user (I have not the popup asking my Admin password).

  OK, here's the problem.  When I have users to switch to my Admin account, after the passage, almost all the icons on my desktop disappear AND there are only a couple of files in my files of Documents Libraries\Documents\My.

  Everything to go.  I thought as an Admin user, I had access to everything.  How can I get all this stuff back (the icons on the desktop for example and other user account files, etc.)

  When I was logged in as an Admin user, it seemed that I could share files with other Useers - so I thought, Aha, that's how it works.  So I logged on my Standard user account - but the ability to share my files, etc. did not exist, at least as far as I can tell (that is, cannot find this option anywhere).

  If all goes well there is something simple that miss me that things work so that as an Admin user, I have access to other user accounts where - it is supposed to work, isn't.

  Obviously need help.  Thank you.  Ron in round rock

  In fact, I have nothing - as stated in the above comment, I could see all my files and folders User\ron

  -> This either means that the folder is already shared, or that UAC (User Account Control) is disabled on your PC. This isn't a good idea because it exposes your computer at serious risk.

  I can edit, delete, running back, I can't (or maybe since I am the only user on this machine, I should leave him alone).  Just curious as to what I did exactly.

  -> If you have shared with read/write access, you can create/edit/delete the files.

  And finally, as an Admin user, I have only 4 icons in the taskbar (IE, Chrome, Windows Media Player and Windows Explorer) - that doesn't sound right.

  -> You'll get exactly icons you placed here while it is logged on as admin user.

  And really Finally, with regard to the disappearance of all the icons on my desktop when logged in as Admin user.

  Each user has his own profile. Inside the profile, there is the user's desktop. Desktop shortcuts that are visible while connected as user A are not visible when you are logged on as user B because each user has his own office!

  There is one exception: most applications require at installation time if their shortcuts must be visible by all users. If you answer 'Yes', then the shortcuts will go into this common folder: C:\Users\Public\Desktop.

• Standard user account cannot access the programs installed by administrators account

  I have a new Windows 7 computer. I installed various programs using the Administrators account, and then I created a Standard user account. When I login as a user standard I can't see all installed programs. Some are, some are not aware that I have nothing differently when I installed each program. I deleted the first standard user account and created a new standard user but still don't see not all installed programs.

  Thank you

  Claire

  When you have installed programs, perhaps you have chosen to install just for the first user. In all cases, you can put shortcuts to programs in the Menus to start other users.

  Right click on the "All programs" button from the Start Menu and choose 'Open' to get user-specific Start Menu folder. Choose "Open All Users" to download the file of the start - the system-wide Menu.

  %Appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu folder or user-specific and
  C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu for all users.

  Then just copy the shortcut icons, as you wish.

  By the way, I always install programs from the Standard user account, providing the password/OK to the UAC prompt. Even if of course you want an administrative user established (and always run as standard for your daily work), almost never, you need to log on to the administrative account.

• Cannot return the 'Guest' to the standard user account Type

  I changed our Type of customer account to the administrator, so a family member could download some things when I was unavailable to repeatedly type a password for it.  Now, I would like to change the Type of account to standard - but I can't.

  When I connect like me, an administrator, and then click on manage other user accounts, the only changes I offer myself for the guest account are image change or disable the account.  When I log on as a guest and click on change the Type of account, I select the Standard button, click on change the account Type, and should not be.  I went back to the screen back and comments is still a Director.  What is happening with this limitation?

  Thank you

  Just disable the guest account.

  And will NEVER again allow him. It is a security risk because it allows anonymous access on your computer. Even worse, if you changed it administrator. (Why on EARTH made you that I have NO idea). This is why it is disabled by default.

  If you wish to allow someone occasional access to your machine to create a Standard user account and call it 'visitor' or something similar. You don't need administrator privileges to upload files...

• The standard user account is prompted to create a password every 30 days.

  Original title: Standard (Windows 7) user accounts Password Protection

  I have an administrator account which is not password protected.  My wife has a standard user account is not password protected.  However, approximately every 30 days Windows asking my wife to change her password.  She can't go without creating a new password I have then to remove from his user account.  The process repeats every month.  It doesn't to my account, only his own.  What can I do to stop Windows to require a new password on the account of my wife when she is not protected in the first place?

  Microsoft seems to be to lean back in his attempt to make it difficult for people to create without expiry of passwords. Here is how to solve the problem:

  1 log in under an administrator account.

  2. click on the start planet.

  3. type the three letters cmd in the search box.

  4. press on Ctrl + Shift + Enter

  5. click on "run as Administrator".

  6. type the following command:
  NET accounts /MaxPWAge: Unlimited {Enter}
  Do you have just two accounts on your machine: it is not a good idea. Take a look at this current thread to see what evil trouble this can help you in.

• Standard user saved internet photos appear in the account of user admin instead, how can I fix this problem?

  I can't find an answer to this question. I save pictures of sites .gov to accompany the latest news that I write. I work as a standard user and don't use the account administrator to computer problems. But when I save pictures and PDF files that they do not appear on my desk or in my photos, instead, they go to the administrative account. I end up having to go to the admin acct send to me, so I can access it on my standard user account. How can I fix?

  Thank you, make it a great day!

  When you save the photo, enter

  C:

  in the file name box, press ENTER to go.  This will show the top part of your hard drive.  Now, open the users folder and find the right place to save.  This will save appropriately instead of the other account.
