• Why the standard user can't print on network?

  -Computers A and B are networked through a router Linksys Wireless.

  -An HP printer, set apart, is attached to A computer, via USB

  -Both computers are under XP SP3

  -All users on both computers can access the Internet.

  -All users on A computer can print

  - But only administrators on the computer B can print. Why? !

  It is a maddening problem - I spent hours trying to figure out how to give the ability to print the standard user on computer b. , but it will only print on the network if I give her a Director.

  If I keep him a standard user, he can see the printer. His printer status indicates ready. If he sends a print job, it goes into the queue, it shows that the impression, then disappears into the void.

  Already tried rerunning the wizard of networking on both computers. File sharing and printer are turned on. Nothing works. No one on computer B to print unless I make him an administrator. Then there is no problem. Help, please!

  Hi Tony,.

  Try to configure the security settings for printer on the computer a. Click Start-> settings-> printer and faxes-> right click on your printer-> properties-> Security-> Check for permission for everyone... You can also add the UserID from the other computer (computer B) and provide the access rights to the printer.

  I hope this helps.

• Standard user can connect to the new network wireless only in local mode - no Internet pass through by the router.

  My wife now takes a laptop (HP Pavilion) with her on a business trip.  The computer that runs Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit SP2 with all updates.  I have his set as a standard user account, just to keep him out of trouble.  However, with his own account, it can connect to a new wireless network, like a hotel or business she visits could offer.  But, invariably, she gets access 'local only' - no pass Internet through connectivity.  I had to give him the information of my account as an administrator, and then she is able to connect without difficulty.

  Of course, this isn't an ideal situation - standard user must be able to connect to the Internet through a new wireless network.  Otherwise, I should be able to change his account in such a way that it can be given to this authority without necessarily opening the entire system and its related vulnerabilities.
  Any help, suggestions or solutions?

  3. click once the standard account name.

  4. uncheck the box that requires users to enter a password.

• Is to let a standard user to change an administrator without concent.

  I have some difficulty trying to block access to some programs because they won't let me see them to block applications. When I'm trying to manage accounts and click on the what programs are someone else can access it will not control panel. Must have this problem fixed soon.

  Hello
   
  Let a standard user can change to an administrator account. This is possible only if the standard user knows the administrator password or if the administrator does not have a password on the user account.
   
  To block access to programs, it is required to connect to the computer as an administrator or at least know the admin password, if you try to block the program as a standard user.

• I created a Standard user on a Windows 7 computer and now I can't enable administrator

  I got a new Windows 7 Professional machine and it great, but I set up a Standard user and left as disabled administrator.

  Now I need to make some changes and I can't activate the administrator account.

  I read how to run as administrator command prompt and go through the procedure, but when I try to run as administrator command prompt, it pops up a window asking me to enter the administrator password, but there is no place to enter the password.

  I looked on the whole for a workaround and haven't seen anything yet that I can do.

  Anyone run into this and found a way around it?  This is the last time I created a Standard user if it is the result.

  I don't want to reinstall Windows 7 Pro and having to reinstall everything again.

  Help!

• Allow a program to run in Standard user

  Hi all

  I have a problem, as stated above.

  I have currently the program has installed in an administrator account and I would like another user who is a Standard user in the computer to use the program without entering the administrator password to run the program.

  Is it possible?

  Reinstall program to make it available to all users "work" but perhaps you only want certain users to be able to run the program.

  You can use the command runas with the "savecred" option to create a shortcut to the program - you must enter the credentials of the administrator at least once for Windows to Save Credpickers and then you would set but there is a possibility of the user can understand it and then be able to run any program as administrator.

  Here are some examples of how to implement that:

  http://www.howtogeek.com/124087/how-to-create-a-shortcut-that-lets-a-standard-user-run-an-application-as-administrator/

  https://www.maketecheasier.com/standard-users-run-program-Admin-rights/

  You may reach the goal without "savecred" using a task scheduled to run the desired program:

  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/11949-elevated-program-shortcut-without-UAC-prompt-create.html

  There are some third-party programs that you can use if you want to install (not tested):

  http://www.Sordum.org/8727/runastool-v1-0/

  If you do a Google search on something like:

  allow standard users to run as Administrator without password

  You will get a lot of ideas but the sounds of the awkward set of ideas.

  It looks like a some of them present a potential security risk if the user no Admin numbers how it's done.

• Privilege standard user Admin controls

  I'm the administrator of this computer. Its a HP all-in-one desktop running Windows 7. I'm pretty good with computers. I use them because they ran on the BACK. There are several other people who use this computer who are not good with computers, but know enough to do the basic things like e-mail, Facebook and play games. No other people who use this computer are children. I need to know how to prevent other users to download anything or install additional programs without restriction of the type of content they are authorized to see. We use all Facebook, Gmail, Twitter and Spotify, and these sites sometimes containing explicit content. And what other people consult is not my case. I want to make sure that nobody does anything on there that may contain viruses or anything that could adversely affect health throughout the entire system.

  Hi Tecca,

  To better understand the issue, let us know if other users are limited or not users.

  Standard account users will not be able to download files unless they enter the administrator password when invites UAC (User Account Control). The standard account can help protect your computer by preventing users from making changes that affect everyone who uses the computer, such as deleting files that are required for the computer to work. We recommend that you create a standard account for each user.

  See the articles for more information.

• Standard user accounts not able to record in Age of Empires I & II

  Age of Empires I & II - game save issue in Windows 7

  Hello

  Both my airports (I & II) have been freshly installed on Windows 7 (Professional 64 - bit) and when I play myself (Administrator account), then I can save the game at any time. It runs very well. Interestingly, standard users can start and play AOE as well, but their game won't save, as it appears the information on a disk (which is absurd) space. I put these files compatible with Win - XP SP2 program, gave all users of their execution as well as all write/change permissions administrator privileges. The "Savegame" folder is also where it is supposed to be (my saved games to sit there, after all). However, it did not help a bit the saving issue.

  Something tells me that the problem is the game itself, like so (I and II) have been developed by moments when Windows (95, 98, Me, etc.) intended for a single user by PC, but if I'm right, so in that case why not just me, but can other (standard) users run and play AOE, short to save?

  If someone had a similar problem - I will be grateful to share other ideas.

  Best regards, Tooreck

  Hi Tooreck,
  have you looked at your temp folder? Under your user name check the temp folder, or simply do a search on *.tmp and delete all the files.

• Automatic updates of standard users in silent mode

  I have about 80 Windows 7 computers in our County to various fire companies.  Each fire station has Comcast internet, and there is no possibility of admin/VPN Central.  Users have standard privileges of Win 7.  Products Adobe are updated automatically, but when they say to install the update fails because they have administrator privileges.  Anyway is to get auto-update to work for standard users?  I don't mind label a process runs as an administrator, I just need to know what needs the appropriate permissions to make this work.

  Thank you

  Garry

  CD player will be able to update the standard users without asking to provide administrator privileges. While I understand that it is important for you, please make sure that this feature of CD player to satisfy your business needs before moving all users to the CD player.

  I suggest that you install CD on one or two machines, confirm that it works for your users, wait the first CD Player update is released and confirm that this automatic update also works very well.

• My wife is the administrator user and she forgot her password and she did not save what we can and there are only standard users on this PC, what can we do?

  My wife is the administrator user and she forgot her password and it does not back up and there is only standard users on this PC, what can we do?

  If your wife was using his account with "computer administrator" privileges, and then use the built-in account named "Administrator".

  By default, the built-in account named "Administrator" doesn't have a password.  If you have XP Pro, you can access the administrator account (with no other connected users) Welcome screen by pressing CTRL + ALT + DELETE twice to bring up the "classic" logon window  Enter the administrator user and leave the password empty box.

  In XP Pro or XP Home, you can access the administrator account by restarting mode without fail (repeatedly press F8 to leave immediately after the computer starts / restarts; if you see the Windows logo, you waited too long and you will need to try again).  Once Windows starts in Mode safe mode, the administrator account will appear on the Welcome screen.

  Once you are in the administrator account, go to control panel > user accounts to reset the password of an account with "computer administrator" privileges or create a new user account with privileges "computer administrator."

  If the password that you lack to the built-in, ' administrator' account politics of Microsoft for these forums forbid us to provide you with any information that might help you to bypass this password.
