• Vista (kiosk) user account number

  My parents bought a laptop from Costco, and they got an agreement because it was a machine of the display. However as a screen machine that was apparently the installation program to run in a sort of store-use Kiosk mode.  I was able to add new accounts that work very well for them, but I can't figure how to remove the kiosk of the machine account.  It will automatically try to connect to this account of booth at the start.  When I go to the "account management" in the Control Panel, I don't see a "Kiosk" account, but I certainly see a login screen.  I think it's probably some sort of registry thing trying the automatic connection, but I would not dare to start messing around with it unless I got professional help.  I appreciate all the advice I can get.

  Hello

  Follow these steps:

  1. click on start, type control userpasswords2 and press ENTER.
  2. under the users tab, check on "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer"
  3. If you see the account name "kiosk" listed in, select the username and click on remove
  4. click on Ok

• My iMac freezes during a turn on and between two switching user accounts

  My 2011 iMac has been crashing for weeks. Usually, it freezes when I turn it on, connect to switching user accounts or user accounts.

  I upgraded to Sierra yesterday and I continued using for hours and it was fine.

  I turned on today; some of the Apple applications do not work... Mail, App Store, Safari (this is what I tried). Responsible mail application, saw a list of emails, but when I click on a particular message, the message will not load. Safari cannot load a Web page at all (I'm now using Chrome). AppStore cannot load anything too.

  I asked for help here before the crash but I was reluctant to share the report of being. Now, I've read about it and understand how it works. The report says "failed".

  Appreciate the help of the community. Thank you.

  Here's the report...

  A part of which is related to the upgraded Photos app. If you have lots of photos (in thousands), it will take a lot of time for it reach to analyze your photo library. The best thing to do is to let him finish, as long as it could be. 1 hour per 1000 photographs as a rough estimate. When it is finally over, the performance of your Mac will be back to normal.

  Definitely get rid of "Trusteer" however. As a needless "anti-virus" garbage is still installed on your Mac, it is unreasonable to expect it to work the way it was designed to work.

  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.

• Cannot create a new user account

  Hello and good evening,

  I have a laptop HP Pavilion I've had for about a month. I was creating a HP recovery disk. As I didn't have the right amount of available disks, I cancelled it. The next time I went to do the same thing, there was a message in the HP support assistant saying that the recovery disk was no longer available.  So I created an image of the system in case I ever needed to recover my OS. It was stored on drive C. I copied and pasted into the recovery d drive [I don't know if you can do].

  Anyway, some things have changed after I created the image of the system. The C: disk OS folder has been renamed Windows C:.

  I felt a little uncomfortable about the whole, so I thought that I create another user account. Hoping that this would also restore my HP Recovery disk.

  In any case, I went to do this and all seems to be OK, install applications and so on, until he came to a blue screen that says "Please wait". He remained on the screen for about 2 hours, after which the battery was flat. I repowered it and he started upward. He returned the same screen. I took the battery and plugged a USB based recovery disk. This led me to the Welcome screen, and I could log into my original user account.

  I'm not game to try again to create another user account in case something terrible happens and it does not restart.

  What should I do?

  1. create another user account give back me my recovery drive originalHP?

  2 could have another go to make him a corruption on my hard drive?

  I don't know if it's an HP or a problem of Windows 8, so I posted both.

  I hope someone can help

  Chris

  Hi jcdck,

  I see that you have some problems with your recovery disk. Create a new user account won't get your recovery disk. The same file structure will be implemented regardless of the user account. You should not generally be copy or save anything on the recovery disk.

  You should be able to restore your PC to factory settings , but you need to back up personal files on an external drive or burn to a CD. It might not get your recovery back disc because this isn't the Windows function of HP.

  Your only other option is to order the recovery CD for your model. If you can provide me with your product number I should be able to get your link to order. Are which country you located?

  Thank you

• Problem in opening and running LabVIEW in separate user account

  Hello

  I would like to create a 2nd user account on my computer in the laboratory that has LabVIEW 2011 installed on it. However, when I try to open LabVIEW in the 2nd user account there is an error code 1 and another message complaining about some dialogue 3 button VI.

  I found that I can still continue by clicking OK, except that now I can't start my VI, where I copied over my 1 user account. I get attached errors, including one that seems to be complaining of Simple error handler in my VI which runs at the end of my program error messages. Does anyone have an idea on how to fix the errors?

  Help, please!

  Thank you!!!

  Hi Vrinkle,

  LabVIEW is usually installed in "C:\Program files (x 86) \National Instruments\LabVIEW xxx ', where"(x 86) "is the version of LabVIEW application for a 32-bit version of LabVIEW on a Windows 64-bit and"xxx"brand (year)." In this folder you will find subfolders "vi.lib", "instr.lib" and "user.lib" - all the rights granted to your new user account need to access these files (like all the others those of LabVIEW file)!

  BTW. display your serial number on a public forum is not the best idea...

• Run as pop up appears for the user account to connect to the computer

  Original title: security

"or below cela" the following user ' to add details. I'm afraid that someone is trying to take over my computer. I have run Norton anti virus. How to stop what appears and get rid of it. This is a major threat. Paul

  Hi Paul,

  1. what anti-virus software do you use?

  2 you use the password while logging on to the user account?

  I suggest you of change the logon window and the shutdown preferences in Windows XP to resolve the problem.

  Setup configures Windows XP to use the friendly welcome logon screen and close buttons, if your computer is installed as a computer (a computer where a network domain has not been specified).

  This article describes how you can enable the classic logon screen used by Windows XP Server that resembles the following example:

  Log on to Windows

  User name: _______
  Password: __________

  To temporarily use the classic logon screen, press Ctrl + Alt + Delete twice on the Welcome logon screen.

  To configure Windows XP to use the classic logon and shutdown for each logon screens, follow these steps:

  a. click Startand then click Control Panel.
  b. double-click user accounts.
  c. click on change the way users log on or off the power.
  d. Click to uncheck the use the Welcome screen check box.

  Note: If you disable the Welcome logon screen, you also disable the fast user switching option.

  If you want users to press CTRL + ALT + DEL before the classic logon appears like a Windows XP-based computer that is joined to a domain, follow these steps:

  a. click Start, click run, type regedit in the Open box and then click OK.
  b. click the Winlogon subkey at the following registry location:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
  c. click change, click newand then click DWORD value.
  d. to change the name of the value, type DisableCADand press ENTER.
  e. keep the data value set to 0. The set of data values appear as 0x00000000 (0).

  Warning: Ask users to press CTRL + ALT + DEL before the classic logon screen appears.

  If you don't want that, then come back in a classic.

  Note: To do: Important 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.

• Extra ' ' my Documets folder in my system and the USER account.

  I never had an aaount usser put on the pc and had a large number of backup files.  Then I set up a new user account and it auto saet as administrator, but all the files are not there.  There is an another user account on the pc and it is called comments but the files aren't there either.  Is there a way to recover the missing data?

  Setting up a new user account does not remove the files. Search if the file is present on the computer by using Windows Search.

• How to remove a user account on my computer.

  I would like to delete a user account on MY computer and don't know how.  The account has a password and I don't want to have to ask the person for his or her password.  It is no longer resident at home.  I think that my computer's performance will increase considerably if I do this as there are things stored there who gets up on my computer and it is not used.  Appreciate your help.

  Hi momoftwo_,

  When you delete a user account, you can choose if you want to keep the files created under that account; However, the messages and settings on the computer for the account will be removed.

  (a) open user accounts by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, clicking user accounts and family safety, clicking user accounts, and then clicking Manage another account. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  (b) click the account you want to delete and then click delete the account.

  (c) decide whether to keep or delete the files created under the account by clicking keep files or delete files.

  (d) click on remove account.

  If you want to reduce the number of unnecessary files on your hard disk to free up disk space and help your computer run faster, use disk cleanup. It removes temporary files, empty the Recycle Bin, and removes a variety of file system and other items that you no longer need.

• User account incorrect displayed on the logon screen

  OT: Displayed Incorrect user account
  Hi all
  When you switch on my laptop, instead of my list of normal user account, the screen displays the message "incorrect username and password" - OK.
  If I select OK, a profile of incorrect user account appears. Strangely although perhaps, the specified user name, actually part of my email address?
  I tried to enter all kinds of passwords relevant to me, but of course, who are rejected and I went back to 'bad user' - However, if I then click on the option "change user", then get a screen showing both my own correct profile, right next to the bad. By selecting the correct account, then I can access my homescreen, as usual.  I go to the user account page, expecting to remove "rogue" account, as you would with a guest account - for example - but - hey - he's not here, not anywhere for me to remove I can not just simply get rid of it.  OK - this is something I can live with - but it's so boring, Forums, so far, failed to help. Experts or skilled geeks out there?   I am running Vista Home Premium + SP2.
  Thank you.
