User (and files) account settings not saved at shutdown

Hi, I recently got Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit installed on my PC of house built... the problem I run into is that whenever I stop, when I turn it on again it is still as if it were my first time logging into the user account (I get the Welcome Center window, none of my settings to before I stop were saved)... even though I installed all programs still appear to be installed.

Also, I'm a little confused about how the "personal file" my account user works (I mean the folder that opens when I click on "Brian" in the start menu, in the upper right).  First of all, my settings, all files in there seem to have erased when I stopped (excluding the makings of the sample).  Second, this personal file does not seem to be the same folder as I get to by going to computer > disc Local (c) > users > Brian 1; even if they are both set in place with the default subfolders (photos, music, video etc.).

Thus, the settings and files in the personal folder for my user expect to get erased on shutdown... does anyone have a solution for this?

I appreciate the help!

Thank you
Brian

Your original user is damaged. Make a new user account and copy the data from the old account to the new. After you have all your stuff, you can delete the old damaged account.

User - recommended configuration (Vista and Win7) accounts

You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all other Windows 7, Vista, and modern operating systems are operating systems multi-user with integrated system of accounts as default Administrator and comments. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

In particular, you do not want account only one user with administrator privileges on Vista and Windows 7 because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult. It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but it may require more work you want to do. Better not to get into a bad situation at first.

The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. As a user Standard is recommended for security reasons and will help protect your computer against infections. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:

Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null). MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

    You must restore your registry to a point in time before that you have disabled the administrator user.  It is not easy if there is any left on the system administrator user.

    One way to do this is to start your computer from a CD rescue-style such as BartPE and UBCD4Win or Linux Livecd such as Knoppix.  You can then follow the steps in the following article from part 2, step 6, using GUI to copy and rename the files rather than orders from command-line specified in article.

  • The mouse settings not saved after reboot/restart

    I'm changing the speed at which my mouse pointer moves on the screen.  I'm doing a 'demand' the change, and then click on 'ok '.   The point of the mouse moves faster in the game.  Then after reboot/restart the computer, the mouse setting is default slower movement speed.   The changes are not saved after reboot.   What keeps the change of speed of movement of the mouse to be saved?

    Mr. Brian,

    Please, try the following steps.  This should allow you to keep all the settings in the SetPoint software at the same time to solve your problem.

    1. click on the Start ORB, type msconfig in the Search box and hit Enter
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue
      
    2. in the System Configuration dialog box, click the Startup tab
    3. Locate the entries called KHALMNPR or similar and uncheck the box next to them (there may only be a)
    4. click OK and restart your computer
    5. after reboot, change the speed of your mouse pointer and restart

    This should solve your problem.  Please let us know.  Thank you.

    Too bad.  I've been 'accidentally' 'old' outdoor from srcDb exttrail and causing the pump remote extracted rmttrail.  Given that the CBC was built by the GG default 11.2 format (because it's the version of GG executed there on the DB server), extract pump that ingestion of my exit from user has also been the11.2 format remotely.  Just added the '11.1 format liberation' to the exttrail source and re - rinse my OGG-0138 and everything goes.

    Sorry for the noise!

  • Settings not saved to PDF

    Hi, I use presenter 8.01 build 260 (I installed the 8.02 update but it doesn't seem to have changed anything). Everything seems to work fine when I post to my computer, but when I go to Adobe PDF and try and change the settings it there (including the path, audio and image quality), these changes are not displayed or recorded. It displays the CD quality and high (image quality) as well as the path by default, no matter what I select. Would someone has an idea what I can do to get more low-quality (and so smaller) a PDF file?

    When you make changes (presentation settings > quality, or from the link in the dialog box, publish), make sure that the parameter that you are editing is for publication in PDF format. There is a drop down at the top of the dialog box to choose to make changes of workstation, Adobe Connect or PDF. If the PDF is not checked, the changes reflected in the edition in PDF format.

  • Tab users and groups appearing is not in the centre of VI.

    Here's the story. We had a guy who worked here who set up our VMware environment. Well apparently that he didn't know what he was doing, or he reminds the VI Center administrator password. We have access to just about everything we need to do (via our Windows connections) but I need to be able to edit users and groups. I can go in each ESX Server using the root for this server login, but I would like to be able to go to the users tab and groups in my centre of VI. Is there an easy way to fix this screw up? Thanks in advance for any help!

  • The FrameMaker 10 settings not saved PDF tag

    When I need to get out a book as a PDF marked more than once, I find that I have to get the level of the logic every time, unlike my bookmark parameters, which are preserved and included paragraphs settings.

    This is true regardless of whether I used the Save as or route print to PDF. This was not the case last year, when I was still using v7.2.

    Y at - it a tip for making these settings stick?

    (Version 10.0.2.419 on Windows 7)

    I've never tried, but I think I read somewhere that you have to set these settings for the first doc in the book & it is how it is registered at the level of the book. The other thing would be to check your settings of .joboptions via Acrobat or Adobe PDF 'printer '.
