The user account name has changed, but cannot change the logon name
I am running Windows XP Professional and have supported a computer that uses a former employee. I changed the name of the user account in my name, but it still shows the old username when I start the computer. How can I change this?
Hello, CYLC
If you are on a domain, it can be disabled via Group Policy. Check with your network administrator.

Sign on the user account as an administrator, but cannot change the automatic updates.
Under updates important area is grayed out and cannot select to change
Hello Bill,
Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.
As I understood it, you experience the problem, you cannot change the automatic updates even if you are logged on as an administrator user account. The option is grayed out on the system.
Certainly, I understand your concern.
I would suggest trying the following steps and check if that helps.
- Open the editor of the register of the command RUN by typing "regedit" and click OK.
- In the tree on the left, open following files-online HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate.
- Remove the automatic "Update" folder This will remove all previous settings for automatic update.
- Open the automatic update of the control panel and option as usual.
- If automatic update is always gray, type the command "gpupdate/force" RUN and click OK or restart the operating system.
Note: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
How to back up and restore the registry in Windows
I hope this information is useful.

How to get websites to register names iMac user/account name
I switched from a PC to an iMac almost a year ago and has continued to use Firefox as my browser. At first, everything seemed to work as expected. However, after a while, I found that the names of Web site user/account names were more registered. For example, my wife and I do online banking. Login page of the Bank to ask him to remind our account number and an associated name. In the past, we could switch between the two accounts, provide the appropriate password and be connected with the appropriate account. I tried just about everything I can think of. Most of the support topics related to this update to have Firefox save passwords. I don't want to, just for usernames and accounts to be remembered. Any help would be great!
Have you checked if the form fill is always enabled?
Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > History: "Remember search and form history"
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in private - browsing using Firefox without saving the story mode (permanent).
Uncheck the box: [] "automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session.To view all the history settings, choose: Firefox > Preferences > privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: use the custom settings for the story of

I have not stopped, and yet, there is a sweep of Defender will been 10 min. at 10 MST Saturday, January 6, 12. Thanks for the suggestions or responses.
WizzHello wizzard4,
You can use the system restore and restore your computer to a point before that the user account has been deleted.
Choose a restore point from the system,Click Start. Right-click on computer. Go to properties.
On the left, click System Protection.
Click on system restore. Click Next.
You should see system restore points when your computer has been changed, I have several for when Windows updates have been installed.
Bottom left, place a check in "Check more restore points."
You should see several restore points.
Highlight the one you have in front of you, you have had the problem.
Click Next. This confirms the restore point that you want to install.Once you select the restore point, click Next, then select Finish, this will start the restoration process.
Please reply with an update when you have finished the restoration of the system.
Thank you

Hi, I have two problems
First on my brothers account, I get the following error message: windows cannot find c:\documen~1/henry/locals-1/temp/crss.exe. Make sure you have entered it correctly the soul. In this story, I can't click anything that runs - IE without access to the internet or anti-virus software, I think its something to do with rstrui.exe or rundl32.exe.
Secondly, I do not get the first error message on my account but I can't run any programs. He can't know what to use to open it. But the guest account seems to work very well.
I think I have a Trojan horse, which is messing with my registry. I tried my computer with anti-spyware and malware scanning software, but it is no longer showing me what is infected, in safe mode with network. I tried "SUPERAntiSpyware" and "Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware.
I looked on the internet but nothing I tried works. Please can someone help me.
Thanks in advance.
Hi Robzy_k4,
You will need to update your antivirus and run a full scan of the system in safe mode, until you see that your system has no infection found.
Once your system is virus-free, your desktop and eerything should be normal. It is likely that you are not able to open exe files open with dialog box:
You will need to rename regedit.exe to regedit.com (my computer-> tools-> option-> view file-> remove tickmark to "Hide extension for known file types"-> ok-now right click on local disk C:\WINDOWS\ online search of regedit.exe rename regedit.com).
Then click on Start-> Run Type &-> Regedit-> ok.
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\Exefile\Shell\Open\Command
(you will have to press on + to achieve order)Now, double-click default slot right windows and then change the value in this box for '%1' % *.
Repeat the same for HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Exefile\Shell\Open\Command
Close regedit, restart your pc and check if its working.
Now on the connection of your brother, once all the steps above are performed, click Start-> run, type & -> regedit-> ok navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER-> software-> Microsoft-> Windows-> CurrentVersion-> Run and on the right side, find the key that point to crss.exe in the temporary location and delete it.

Windows XP Professional
I found that will help you solve your problem,
the original instructions have been written by Shenan StanleyPosts: n/aRe: Main administrator account appearing notIf you can connect with the new account that you created (which should be an administrator account as well) then go directly to step 2 below.I suppose that you use the administrator account as your main account (bad
idea anyway) and that means that you probably have Windows XP Professional * and *.
somehow enabled the guest account or create a new account - or
installed some patches that created a new account - as .NET.I guess also that (since you say "appear") you also use the 'Welcome' screen
opening of session instead of the classic logon.(1) restart the system. Press CTRL + ALT + DELETE twice on home
screen. Type in "Administrator" (without the quotes) as the username
and do not put in any password and logon. Work?(2) or follow the instructions below to add the administrator account of
the Welcome screen * or * download/use TweakUI to choose that is visible on
the screen of welcome and even set automatic logon if you want.How to add a user to the Welcome screen logon page:
------
1. start regedit.exe (start--> RUN--> REGEDIT--> OK)
2. navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserLis t.3. on the Edit menu, select new, DWORD value.
4. type administrator as the name, and then press ENTER.
5 double-click on the new value it the value 1 and click OK.
6. close the registry editor.The administrator account will now appear on the Welcome screen. You can use
These same steps to control other accounts listed on the welcome
screen. The value of the registry value to 1 to display an account or account 0 for
hide an account. For example, to hide the user Bob account, add a value
named "Bob" in the registry key identified in step 2, then set the value to 0.You can do the above with the Microsoft TweakUI PowerToy.

Method of Microsoft:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315231Method 2 of Microsoft:
TweakUI for:
http://www.Microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...PowerToys.mspxcontrol userpasswords2 method:
(1) go to the Start Menu and run the box.
(2) type the following:Control userpasswords2
Now click on OK
(3) in the new Windows that appears select the account you want to make the
opening main session.
Now, uncheck the box "users must enter a user name and password... ».
(4) hit apply and a dialog box will appear asking you to confirm the selected
user password.
Click OK when you have finished...
------I hope this gets you where you are wanting to be.
It's a * good * thing in the field of the user to:
(1) have strong passwords.
(2) have more than one account to administrator (with strong passwords).I know - you are the "only one who lives there, the only person who uses your.
computer'... etc. Large. When your House is burgled and computer
stolen (physically or virtually)<- you="" may="" be="" thinking="">->
Another thing, like ' all my (the only person who lives here, the only person who).

Passwords, contacts, etc... are on this computer. »But it's an individual choice. You get to evaluate risk. =)
