Too many user accounts

Help please

Can I combine user accounts? I now have 3 on the PC even after buying a new PC & data transfer, & I find it hard to remember what I have in each of them.

Thanks Macdoris

Why you have three accounts of user in the first place if you are the only user?

If you want to merge - this is going to be a manual process.

Personal I would recommend just copy the office, Documents, Internet Favorites and others on the two accounts you want to get rid of an account that you want to keep and just to resolve yourself you lose all the other parameters from the other two users and then remove them from the user accounts Control Panel.

Yes, you could do a few easy transfer Windows and essentially to merge accounts - but has given the to everything going on the same computer - it can cause a confusion/double/etc.  The process of manual copy (just enter in "C:\USERS" and copy things) is more tedious, but complete, in my humble OPINION.

  • Problems with too many user profiles on computers Windows 7 Professional?

    Is anyone aware of any issues related to Windows 7 computers when too many user profiles are created on the computer. I work in a school and I recently read an article by someone in another educational environment, indicating that they were having problems when too many profiles have been created on a computer.

    Given that integrated user profiles manager only allows you to delete each one profile, it's almost an option to the volume of user profiles that exist in such a laboratory environment. Remove Group Policy Computer Configuration-> policies-> administrative templates-> system-> user-> user profiles profiles of a certain number of days on system restart
    which exists in Server 2008 R2 does not.

    I appreciate your comments.

  • How many user accounts is permitted in windows 7 Home Premium

    Hi, I finally bought Windows 7 Home Premium and had a number of questions below:

    (1) how many users can use Windows 7 Home Premium?
    (2) can I use my (created during the installation of windows) default Administrator account and the guest account?
    (3) can I use my default Administrator account and leave someone else to use the guest account?
    (4) can I create another administrator account and delete my old account administrator?
    (5) can I as administrator (single user) to use more than one user account on my computer?

    Yours,
    MMK.

    (1) don't know (or believe) that there is a numerical limit on the number of accounts no matter who would be worried about using "Home Premium".
    FOR THIS I NEED SOME EXPLANATIONS!

    (2) Yes.  Or advised by some, while first by most.
    For comments, I understand that this account represents a risk factor. But why the account (by default) is not advisable?

    Yours,
    MMK

    (1) do you intend to have thousands of users on the computer Windows 7 Home Premium?  Then you have no worries.  Well, more accurately - it depends on the resources you have.  If you have the hard drive space, you can continue to create users in general.

    It is Home Premium and not professional, enterprise or ultimate edition - it is unlikely, it is used in a domain environment where user accounts are supposed to be more than an environment domestic.  Although you can use it in a business environment - is obviously not a big company.

    (2) - for the most part - you need multiple administrative level accounts; reasons for backup.  The built-in function is one that stays around.  Use it every day and for everything which is not only as imprudent as the use of any other administrative level account-, but it adds to the danger, because it is one you are not easy to get rid of.

    My advice is for you to create at least one additional administrative level account and make sure that the passwords for all the administrative accounts (different passwords for each account) is 15 + characters with at least one of the three following types of characters: uppercase letters, lowercase letters, number, and symbol.  Then create standard accounts for each normal computer user and don't give the administrative password to those entrust you the powers he gives them.  No need to start as an administrative level account for most (if not all) - just creative use of RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR.

  • How many user accounts can use windows via VMware Fusion?

    I installed the latest version of fusion on my machine and a copy of windows XP. It is very good and I am impressed by the ease and speed of it. However, I am the administrator and my 3 kids have accounts of users on the same computer. When my son connects to his user account and Fusion to do some homework on one only program windows at startup, it is not a virtual machine at startup. This means that using merge I cannot use a mac user account? Can I move the windows folder to a location for all to use or y at - it a setting I need to change in Fusion? Maybe, I need to install windows again on his account. If Yes this will cause other potential problems and hog hard disk space unnecessarily. I would prefer merger to the boot camp because I need for windows and mac at the same time. Any help would be appreciated.

    Welcome to the forums!  Yes, you can use XP with multiple users.

    There is some info on this in the Beginner's Guide to VMware Fusion

    Here is an excerpt:

    Only one person can be using the VM to

    a time (and the fast user switching does not count). Suspension (and

    maybe taken snapshot) the VM will probably cause others to not

    be able to use the virtual machine.

    Important: whenever you produce operations (move, copy, edition, deletion, etc.) in a virtual machine, make sure it is turned off and the Fusion is not running. You don't want to change data in Fusion.

    To do this, are the main things you need to do:

    • Move the virtual machine to a shared location for others users can access

      • An example of this is/Users/Shared /.

    • Change the permissions so that any user can access the virtual machine

      • In the Finder, select the virtual machine, and then select read the information. Then
        "Ownership and permissions > other" change "read and write".
        (I don't know if you need to do this also for access to the Group). You too
        need to do this for the contents of the virtual machine - do not forget the forest earlier
        on how to get inside a package? And repeat the Get Info
        correction on everything in the bundle

  • Server 5.0.4: Too many users connect to file sharing

    Hello

    First of all, here are my current profile:

    Mini Mac server (end of 2012)

    OS X 10.10.5

    Server 5.0.4

    Lately when I am looking at the list of users connected to the server via the tab sharing files I noticed more and more users who connect to Time Machine to back up at the same time. When there are so many users doing this that it slows everybody back down.

    Is there a way I can strangle the number of users connected at the same time?

    I don't believe it.

    Perhaps you should consider setting up more than one time server Machine and distributing users between them. It would be probably exaggerated, but in theory, you could have two or Mac connected to a San to share a storage pool and each being then a time server Machine. I'd probably use independent storage for everyone in this case well unless you already have a SAN system.

    You might also consider bonding of two or more network interfaces on the Mac mini to give it a faster network connection or more money there today Thunderbolt 10 Gbit/s Ethernet adapters.

    2 x 1 Gbit/s = 2 Gbit/s, or 1 x 10 Gbps is clearly going to be able to support more network traffic and so more users than just the single integrated to 1 Gbit/s Ethernet port. You need a network switch that also supports Ethernet 10 Gbps, or LACP aka. 802.3ad as the standard of channel binding depending on the approach you have chosen.

  • User account and logon

    I really do not understand how to turn on my computer and connect with my own custom settings.  Someone has posted a response to my question about how to change the image of the lock screen saying I need to create a "specific User Account."  There is no such thing.

    When I turn on my computer from SLEEP mode, the custom image is there on the lock screen, but this isn't when I restart the computer turned OFF.

    Please tell me how to connect to my Windows 8 and please use the current terminology.
    Thank you!

    Hi A Luddite Semi,

    How many user accounts you have on your computer?

    Specific user account means that each user account can be set to show the locked screen image different snacks you have several user account.

    Do you mean the locked screen image when you try to connect to the same user to change account?

    Press the Windows key + L to display the screen lock and you should see your custom image set.

    Please let us know if you have any other questions.
