  I had a computer guy clean virus I had and upgrade me to Windows 8, but now I have adware runs in the background and am getting kicked out of my programs.  Another type of computer I was just create a new user account - will that help?  Will I always the same questions?

  Hi Sqrlr,

  My apologies for the misunderstanding. :)

  If you have some kind of virus/malware, I would recommend running a full scan of your computer to get rid of it.  If necessary, you can use the Microsoft Safety Scanner, it's free:

• Limit the control panel and IE for the Standard user account

  I'll set up a new computer for a 91 year old customer in a retirement home, who don't use the computer for e-mail and an occasional Wordpad document.  His son wants to put computer in place so that it cannot get to the Internet Explorer browser, or go to control panel, because he bumbles around the keyboard causing all sorts of problems requiring frequent service for me calls.

  The operating system is Windows Vista Home BASIC, so gpedit.msc is not installed.  I have activated the system administrator account for my use when I am called to repair the computer and set the Standard user to user account.  The problem is that the only way I found to disable IE and the Control Panel causes them be turned off in BOTH accounts.  I wish I could disable them ONLY in the user account.

  The only solution I found to disable the control panel is a registry hack in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current versionpolicies where I put a DWORD 32-bit "NoControlPanel" with a value of 1.  I tried to do that in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive, but it had no effect.  This kind of work, but there are two problems then; Mises_a_jour Windows 1) won't install and 2) when I have to go to work on the computer, I first change administrator user, then change the DWORD value to 0 and finally to restart the computer, causing additional assignments, lengthen my time at work.

  Second, the only solution I could find to disable IE was in the default protrams Panel, which disables the administrator as well.

  Can someone tell me if there is another way to achieve this, while IE and control panel are disabled only for the user?

  Change the security to the IE executable rights? Remove 'Users', while you keep the administrator rights.

  For control panel see 'Method Two' in this link:

  "creacontech" wrote in the new message: * e-mail address is removed from the privacy... *

  Thanks for your response, but will not solve problem of this "gentleman". The object is not so much to limit internet access, as it should restrict access to programs.  He is 91 years old, has small hands and types rapidly with two fingers, but made many mistakes.  Disability is before everything to prevent clikety snap everywhere, because he creates sort of a zillion copies shortcuts of the webpage on his desk, until everything hangs and I have to go a push up on his mess. The same reason applies to the Contorl Panel.  We don't want it to be able to get to the Panel "printers."  When a document will not be printed for a reason, he go, dummy click around and created a bunch of copies of the printer, with a gazillian of documents clogged up in the queue of the coil.  I had to cclear up to 100 documents from the spool on 50 copies printer queue.  It's really an economic problem for his son.

• User account now points to a different user account files

  Several users have in our household have accounts on a laptop.  One of the accounts mysteriously began to point to a different user account files.  All other user accounts seem to work normally.

  UAC is not running on the machine.  The user account with the problem and that to which it points now have administrator privileges.  Windows Update is active.  The 2 latest updates prior to the issuance have been updated to Windows defender.

  How to restore this user account to the way it was?

  Hey Super,

  It is possible that the location of each of the user data folder are changed to the other user account.

  First check if the user account folders do not exist in the C:\drive\users and then continue with the steps below.

  You will need to each user account folder redirected to its original location and check if it works.

  1 right click on the folder that you want to restore to its original location, and then click Properties.
  2. click on the location tab, click restore default, and then click OK.

  You will need to do this for each individual user account folder that points to the other user account folders.
  Redirect a folder to a new location
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/redirect-a-folder-to-a-new-location

  If the previous step fails while the user account may be damaged, you will need to check if the problem persists in a new user account and later to fix a corrupted user account.

• nothing works under my user account

  Dear Microsoft Answers

  I have a laptop Windows Vista Home Basic, I had last year, and it works fine. and then 2 weeks ago all the small problems begin to surface. and for the past 2 weeks, I tried to understand what was wrong with my computer. First, not 'IE, Google Chrome, Firefox' internet browsers allow radio stream; Secondly, I have been unable to sign in MSN Messenger, it keep giving me the error code 80070005. Thirdly, my Adobe Acrobat gives me error messeges that tells me the program must close; and fourth, everytime I open Internet Explorer, it ask me to put a default search engine... be frustrated by all the error messages, I contacted Windows Live Help Center and the assistance of the radio station, they could not understand what the problem was, so finally they sugguested connect Vista with a different user account so I tried with the guest account and everything works fine. but when I connect my personal user account, all the problems are back. I guess that means that my user account creates all the problems, I'm the only one using the computer, and my personal user account is also the administrator. can you help me to find the problem and I hope that to correct them?

  Thank you very much

  Your administrator user profile can are damaged.  To fix this use http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.  If that is the only available Administrator Profile (you need to be an administrator to fix this), enable the Hidden Administrator Account (HAA) using http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?&lang=en&cr=US&guid=&sloc=en-us&dg=microsoft.public.windows.vista.administration_accounts_passwords&p=1&tid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055&mid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055.  If you don't remember the password, try nothing because that's probably what you (or seller) did during the installation.  In addition to the replacement of an administrator account, you must create a second administrator account (in case of emergency like this one) and a standard user account for your daily activities (for security reasons).  Once that is done, don't forget to disable the HAA to save it in case it is necessary once again and for safety reasons (since people often try to hack into systems using this account).  Do NOT use the HAA as your administrator account because if you lose the only administrator on the system account or it is damaged again, then you're watered.

  Good luck and I hope this helps.

• Explorer Windows has encountered a problem and needs to close, sorry for the inconvenience into account only one user. Other user accounts properly.

  This problem deals with only one of my user accounts, where the user accounts function correctly.  When my wife logs in to his user account, it receives the error "windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close, sorry for the inconvenience."  No ICONS or deskbar charge upward; However, my daughter and my user account functions properly.

  I did a system successfully restore to a previous point, but the problem remains.

  If you are still having problems with Windows Explorer crashing, I suggest to consider the suggestion offered by ShadowKat:

  "Hello people, it seems that some guys out there are still having trouble with this random crashes. I have the same problem, except that it happens every time that I go to my media files on my NAS. It seems that there is a bug or something with windows that causes this problem when you access a folder to storage media like mine, especially when the size of the file is very large (archive all my discs of film there for convenience and continuous =), about 1 TB of data). Windows capable of generating thumbnail images for your files and blocks the Explorer as well.

  I solved this by going to my computer > click the "Organize" (upper-left) > folder and search options > view tab check "Show icons, never thumbnails" option and uncheck the "display file on the photos." This prevents windows to generate images and solved the problem for me. Less visually flashy Yes, but at least not need a cloth and restart is).

• Delteing user account problems

  I am trying to remove a user account from my main administrative account and will not delete. After clicking on the button Delete, it becomes inadmissible and I must continue to send error reports. Have I been hacked and not able to do anything whatsoever as an administrator? I made a new user account and it deleted to see if I could, but still I can't delete the user account I want to delete. I'm not trying to delete my user account, another account via Control Panel and user accounts.

  I don't know exactly what your problem is but here are some things that you might try...

  (1) this could be caused by a problem of file system corruption.  Try to run a "chkdsk" on your hard drive, the two verification options.  It is a step of good maintenance that must be done when even occasionally.  WARNING: on a system drive, it will be performed at the next startup, runs before Windows fully boots, cannot be interrupted and can take a few hours to complete.  (Do it when you won't need computer for awhile)

  "How to perform disk error in Windows XP check"
    <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315265 >

  (2) if it does not help, try to delete the user profile before you delete the user:
  Right click on "My Computer"-> properties-> advanced (tab)-> click on 'Settings' in the section "user profile".
  When it comes to the top (may take some time), select the user profile you want to remove, and then click the button 'delete '.  (You can check the 'Size' column because much more disk space will need to be deleted and could take a while).  After that, try to remove the user from the control panel.

  (3) sometimes, I find that the use of the work of the prompt command line better than doing it using the GUI...
  Open a command prompt window: (start-> Run-> "cmd")
  Enter the following command in the command prompt window:
  NET user smith/delete
  Where, of course, you replace 'smith' with the user you want to remove.

  (4) you can also try a "System Restore" at an earlier date, but if the problem is in the register, and has been around for a while, this might not be a great help.  After restoring, try to delete the new user.

• Lost access to the programs, not a virus or registry problem. Lost the rights to the user (?) but cannot access restore or modify user accounts

  1st, I tried almost every fix suggested on this relatively common problem with no joy.  It is not a virus, unless it's something very new not found by all the usual scanners.

  Only way to access the programs EXE is to run the command prompt by going to with CTRL - tour of the new task (run) in the Task Manager menu and then navigate to the appropriate directory and run the program from the command prompt.   Run virus checker and run various registry fixes recommended here with no joy.  Safe mode does not help with the launch of the EXE.

  Because I get the 'Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file.  You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.  When I try to run an exe from a link, I think I have lost the user privileges.  But, since I can't change the accounts of users or the restore, I can't try to do anything there.

  This problem occurred after uninstalling several old unused programs followed by performing a disk defragmentation.  (everything is done using Microsoft System Tools).  PC worked after doing these things in vain after the next reboot.

  Curiously, I CAN start the web browser from the start menu to post this message.

  Another clue: I can't start programs by clicking on them, but I CAN run the program by opening a file type associated with this program, i.e., opening a file named text.doc will cause Word to open.

  I am a fairly experienced user, but I'm stumped.  Any suggestions?

  Found solution...

  Looked user accounts change program but cannot find or identify it was so impossible to try it.

  I was finally able to identify (in trial & error) the restore program and run it using the command window.

  The program (rstrui.exe) was found in C:\Windows\System32\Restore\rstrui.exe

  I was able to run and to restore to a date when this problem started and that fix.   Still don't know what was the problem of the root but happy to be able to fully use this PC back again.
   
  Thank you to everyone who made suggestions.

  What are the causes of the log of user account on missing cursor in Windows XP? I have two trays of office that they have this same problem. If you restart them the cursor returns?

  Hi DaddyJeff,

  1. don't you make changes before the show?
  2. are you referring to the cursor in the area of user password on the login screen of Windows?
  3. when the cursor goes missing, the mouse pointer works on screen?

  It is difficult to say what is causing this problem. If the mouse pointer freezes or stops working, then we recommend you to reinstall the mouse. To do this, try the following steps:
  a. sign in to Windows.
  b. Click Start, click Run, type devmgmt.msc, and then click ok.
  c. in the list of objects, expand mice and other pointing devices.
  d. right click on the sub element and click on uninstall.
  e. unplug the mouse and plug it back.
  f. the Device Manager, select an item in the list, click the Action menu, click scan for hardware changes.
  g. check if the mouse is detected, if so, then install it.

  See mouse USB which is connected to a USB 2.0 hub is not detected by Windows XP

• Problem with user accounts

  I'll put up three new Lenovo 3000 N200 laptop for three employees and have problems with user accounts in XP Pro. When I go into the initial Setup, I enter the name of the employee, and it is configured as a user account. When I start the laptop, she prays for before administrator password XP will start. Start XP, I am not able to change to a different user account, when I select Logoff on the start menu, I have one is not given an option to switch users. When I go to user accounts in Control Panel, I see the user account that was created, I can change the name & photo, but I can't delete it. I can create a new account with a different name, but she plays the same thing. The administrator remains visible - it is supposed to be hidden if there is another account. It's like XP does not see other user accounts. I am at a loss to know what to do. These are new machines and all three act in the same way.

  Help please!

  I think I solved my problem - on the user accounts page there is a link "change the way user accounts log on or off. When I clicked on it I got a message saying settings could not be changed due to a layout in offline mode. When I changed this setting, I was able to select the types of user switching, and my other user accounts became available.

• Error message "unable to make changes to parental controls settings. If the problem persists, see your system administrator"when you set parental controls for a user account

  Original title: user account with an effort of parental control

  After logging in to my admin account, I created two user accounts for my children, set up parental controls for both that I created, when I tried to set up the third account that he would allow me to activate parental control. It seems that he is trying to load the screen to give me the parental control options then the window disappers and another small window appears saying "cannot make changes to parental controls settings.
