• How to share files and images between two users on the same computer?

  I am running as admin on my computer and I made a separate user for my girlfriend, but I don't know how to make so that it can access the photos I have on my user of its user. I tried to just copy the files from my user him, but which seems to make another copy files. This will be inevitably a little space and so I would like to know if I could just have one, single, copying a file that we have access to our users.

  Also, should I make another user for myself and leave the administrator for emergency purposes? I read something on ot that need to use an administrator account for daily purposes, and it is safer just have on the contrary another user with administrator privileges.

  Make a folder on the drive, something like C:\Pictures and then right-click > properties > Security and make sure that the user has full control

  Yes to the creation of a normal user account and leaving the admin account for administrative purposes.

  I hope this helps.

• Two users on the same PC. How to run the application even for two users at the same time?

  Hello friends,

  I have two user accounts on my pc. Is it possible to run the same application (for example: DEFRAG or disc cleanup utlities) for two users at the same time? I mean, these utlilities work by all of the computer or user account? That would mean the same application to perform for a single user in the background and foreground to the user, or I'm totally lost in space?

  Thank you for your comments

  You should run Disk Cleanup in each user account. Do not try to shut it down or change user when defragmentation; system files may be damaged. You must stop the defragmentation, log off, restart the defragmentation and don't really no point for it. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• IMac is not able to share multimedia files with multiple users on the same computer.

  We just bought a new IMac that we were very excited.  We have phones Apple and iPads, replacement and ten year with a new Mac old PC made since.

  Now, the trouble begins. For more than ten years Windows had several usernames on the same machine and have been able to have a shared folder only for music, pictures and video that my iTunes program and others could acsess and share from several user names. This kept all in one place for new photos families by me or my wife and our 30 gigabytes of music that comes from our CDs was available at bolt of us. Now in train to implement on IMac should be easy but is impossible.  after transferring the music to my login information, it cannot acsess all files on my login. I am not even able to share or provide his acsess. I can move the iTunes folder to my shared folder. She can get acsess now but iTunes says that the library file is locked. I worked with care from Apple on the phone for that sold, but they believe it will not be possible without creating two copies of the 30 gigabytes of music for each of us. who would take more hard drive when it failed too.  Sharing is not any help. These files were before iTunes. I'm not pay 30 dollars a month to store in icloudcor use a google reader slow to the Internet connection when everything's fine here. Apparently Applow programmers do not believe in sharing of multimedia files between two users on the same device, even if a PC does that very well. My choice here is so far have duplicates of all the photos, music and videos loaded on the disc for me and my wife, charge all the media for an external hard drive which for some reason any all Apple programs will share, or return the mac to another PC that will be able to make several connections with sharing music and photos. Apple if you are reading this you are 10 years behind on that. Not everyone is born in the last five years and bought their music on iTunes to be able to use home sharing. Home sharing cannot help this. your applications should be able to be told to use the media files shared without import copies to readers of the user. I am very disappointed. Someone else has any ideas for that?  I have pictures, not iPhoto. I have a week more to be able to return it. I'm not interested in making a fake account that is always connected to share or maintaining of me constantly connected. It should have been easy, I had to be happy to play with new software.

  Photos, iPhoto and iTunes libraries must appear on an external hard drive that is formatted as shown below to be used by multiple users on the same Mac:

  

  So get a properly formatted external HD and move your iPhoto/pictures of her as well as your iTunes library.  This way all your iMac users can access and use both libraries.

  An alternative to the external HD method is to partition your internal hard drive into two partitions, one for libraries.  It is formatted as shown above and be large enough to contain the libraries and allow the expansion of libraries.

  

• Is it possible to set up for multiple users on the same computer to avoid entering the e-mail and the password

  Original title: Multi users

  Is it possible to set up for multiple users on the same computer to avoid entering the email and password every time that a new user want to check emails?

  Hello

  Welcome to the community forums of Microsoft and thanks for posting the question. According to the description, you need help in the creation of multiple user accounts. I've surely you will help find a solution on the issue.

  What is the operating system installed on the computer?

  User accounts, several people can easily share a single computer. Each person can have a separate user account with unique settings and preferences, such as a screen saver or desktop background. User accounts control files and programs users can access and what types of changes users can make to the computer. As a general rule, you'll want to create standard accounts for most computer users.

  If you use Windows Vista or Windows 7, see the article below:

• Use hp officejet 5610 all in one and hp scanjet g4050 (the two usb) on the same computer

  Have an officejet 5610 that I used for years to digitize documents, faxes, printing and copying on Acer computer with windows XP. Recently, I moved my scanner flatbed scanjet g4050 wifes to my computer to scan photos and negatives. The problem is when I install the G4050, I can scan is no longer with my Officejet 5610. Get an error message; "An error occurred just by contacting the HP imaging device. Try the following steps. Turn off and unplug for 60 seconds. The cord is properly attached. Reset. Uninstall and reinstall the device. Reinstallation of photosmart software.  Have tried all these. Does not help unless I have uninstall and remove the two devices and reinstall officejet 5610 ONLY. If I reinstall G4050 default folder which is recommended for multiple hp devices work properly then the 5610 can sweep is no longer. Error message as above. Running scan doctor and it says that there is a problem of façade. Go to the solution Center, click settings, scan settings, scan to Setup. When I click scan to Setup, I get the same error message as above. Both devices appear in the HP Solution Center each with its own tab. Is it possible to use these two devices on the same computer?

  These two devices will not be able to work together. The ScanJet uses a newer than the 5610 software the 5610 will not work with. You can try to install the ScanJet, then the 5610, but I don't think it will help. I'm sure that just does not allow two devices on the same computer because the software conflict. I'm sorry.

• How can I transfer files between different users on the same computer

  I set myself upward under a different name on my laptop father but necessary for the transfer of files from the original user (IE my father'd Office) to my new! How can I do this?

  The following instructions assume that you want to have two users on the computer and you do not want to move some files from one user to another user.  If this isn't the case, skip the following and post a reply.

  If the above assumption is correct, log in with administrator privileges or the user who currently owns the files and click Start > computer (in the list of the menu Start right under Documents, photos, etc.) and in the computer, double-click the drive where the files are located and then double-click on the 'Users' folder and double-click with the record of the original user and work your way to the files you want to move.  Leave this window open (and possibly drag it to the right of your screen until the mouse touches the edge and it automatically resizes to fit the right of your screen or you can resize it manually).  Then repeat the same instructions (start > computer, etc.) but the second time, when you open the 'Users' folder, navigate to the new user.  The two windows open you can now drag files from one window to the other.

• Multiple users on the same computer can use the 11 elements

  I can access 11 items than me but other users on the same PC can see the images, but when the user clicks on the image it is as a missing file.

  Nothing to do with the software itself, you need to adjust your user privileges and permissions of files and possibly manually restoring some stuff to file associations. Refer to some basics here:
