  Hello

  Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.

  I appreciate that you try to recover the data after the deletion of the user account in Windows Vista.

  Since you've already deleted the user account, you would not be able to recover the data.

  However, you can use any third party to the data recovery software.

  NOTE: using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

• How to fix the user accounts in windows 8

  How to correct the user account in windows 8 on new g7 2246nr, I put to your laptop using the Microsoft account then switched to a local account.  I found myself with i admin working the rest of my files are broken up between 3 other user accounts.  I spoke with Microsoft to try to consolidate the accounts and they used a command line in the command, but he has not done. I always work with the system, but it has problems. I reloaded the software so for 3 times.

• Several user accounts in Windows 7 and Windows 10 update

  Hello

  I'll update my Windows 7 Windows 10 and I was wondering what would happen to user accounts on Windows 7?

  The situation is this: the computer is used by me and my brother, and each of us has his user account. There are different programs that I installed with my account and he installed on his 'side' with his user account. There are also a lot of files that I don't want to lose with the update.

  Is there a safe way for users to transition safely two accounts?

  P.S. I read about backing up my files and I will not fail to do if there is no definitive answer to my question.

  Is there a safe way for users to transition safely two accounts?

  -> If the upgrade goes well, both accounts will be maintained.

  I read on the backup of my files and I will not fail to do if there is no definitive answer to my question.

  -> Wrong question. There is no certainty in life and the view of upgrade countless problems reported in these forums, you would take a serious risk, if you have not backed up your files beforehand.

  You seem not to be aware of this rule of iron of the processing of the data. It is said that all important files should be kept at all times on two independent media. A lot of people ignore this rule. Here we see them when something goes wrong. It can be a tough lesson to learn.

• Which is better to have several user accounts from window for the same person, so having much Firefoxes or have much Firefoxes under a Windows account user?

  Right now I have about 6 window user accounts (just for me on a single computer) because I didn't know I could put more Firefox then one per account. I leave the tabs upward when I close Firefox, because if I just bookmarks I won't finish my work I was doing with these sites. Now that I know how to put multiple Firefoxes under a user account. That would make my computer fast or not, it matter if I put all my Firefoxes on a window user account or have 6 windows user accounts, each with their own Firefox?
  -Thank you

  It is more work to move to a different Windows account and then open another instance of Firefox with a different profile.
  If you only use other windows accounts for the use of Firefox like this and not for any other purpose, then there is nothing against the passage to a single Windows account to make it easier to manage such things as the backup of your personal data or copy data between the other profiles.

  So, it's up to you if you want to switch to a single Windows account.

• Firefox does not work for multiple instances of the SAME user account on Windows Multipoint Server 2011

  We have a PC HP of MulitSeat MS6200
  It runs Microsoft Windows MultiPoint Server 2011 (which seems to be a twisted version of Windows 7)
  It is implemented in a laboratory of computer science and students connect you using their account for shared room - IE multiple instances of the same user accounts are currently running on the PC at the same time.
  The first student to run Firefox can work with it without a problem.
  However, when another student try to start firefox they get the following message:
  Firefox is already running but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.

  Cannot start Firefox using a profile that is already used by someone else.
  Each Firefox instance needs its own profile or you will get this error message.
