• Created 2 standard user accounts and now the admin account is inaccessible. How to access my administrator account?

  I have Vista Edition Home Premium.  I got the account administrator and only called 'everyday', which were both available on the Welcome screen.  I was usually you log in to the admin account for my daily use of the computer, but realized that it was a bad idea.  I created a new account, he made an admin account and called "administration".  I changed then the administrator account, I had used so far for a standard account and named it 'everyday', which makes the account would connect you to our daily use.  Finally, I created a new standard account called 'secondary' for my husband to use.

  Now, when I turn on the computer, only accounts that I am able to connect in the Welcome screen are 'everyday' and 'secondary '.  I tried to find articles that would already be answering my question, but good solutions I've seen do not work or are not completely suitable for my situation.  I know the administrator account exists, I don't know how to connect to it.  How can I access my administrator account now?  Things like system restore and cmd / 'run as administrator' failure because I don't have privileges admin so I can't even begin to perform these tasks.

  Any help is appreciated!

  Hi kuentin,.

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

  (1) - what do you mean you have only 1 user account?

  When you set up Windows, you will need to create a user account. This account is an administrator account to allow you to set up your computer and install any programs that you want to use. And that's why the user account you are using is the administrator account.

  There is no way that you can create an administrator account, or by using a Standard account.

  (2) are you having issues during installation of the software or opening it?

  (3) what exactly happens when you try to open the software application?

  (4) should be codes error or error messages, if any?

  (5) what software are you trying to install or open?

  I suggest you go to the link below and read for more information on user accounts.

• 'File name' is locked for editing by 'Client', why not show the correct user account

  A .xls file created by MS Excel 2003 and saved on the server files (Windows Server 2008 R2 without Service Pack).

  We have two users: A and c. accounts of A and C join same above file server's domain. A approval of the admin on the server, C is a common user. The version of MS Excel on the pc is 2010, although it is 2003 for C.

  C tries to open a file on the server and it has the change permission on the file and the file, however, the file is locked for editing by 'administrator '. For the moment, no one opens this file, so which is 'Administrator'?

  More tests:

  (1) once A open file C is reached, there is message: file is locked for editing by 'Client', so why shows 'Client' instead of a correct domain account?

  (2) after C opens the file and then A is reached, there is message: file is locked for a domain C user account. So it seems OK.

• Why do some executable programs require Windows Vista user account control to start, while others do not?

  For example, Iobit Advanced System Care 6 requires user account control to start, while none of the programs Microsoft Office requires user account control to start, but they are all executables (*.exe).  Why?

  EXE files may have a small text file embedded in them that controls this behavior (and other). A file called programname.manifest in the same folder can do it too, but one stand-alone exe substitute manifests (vista and later).

  Here is one that requires the Admin run and also uses 6 worm of the common controls.

• Why should I create a new user profile when you remove a damaged user account?

  I have a corrupted user account and was referred to the following link http://windows.microsoft.com/en-CA/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile

  However, I don't understand why we're required to go through this complicated process when we go to Control Panel - user accounts and family safety-user accounts - add and remove accounts delete user accounts until you can actually remove an account asks you if you want to keep the files of this account.  It is said that it can automatically save the contents of this user account office and favorite Documents, music, photos and videos in a new folder on the desktop.  I realize, this does not include e-mail messages, but I thought I could export those to a memory stick and then import them into my new user account.  It all seems a much simpler process than to create a new profile.  Why Microsoft suggests must create a new profile?

  Hello Kodika

  Thanks for the return of the response.  I guess that it was just a typo, but it's OK.  Please let us know if you have any other questions or you are experiencing other problems.

• User account control: why I get this whenever I open word/excel?

  original title: user account control

  Just downloaded 2010 Home and Student and am running Windows 7.  Whenever I try to open EXCEL or Word, I get user account control to allow "changes to the computer.  I have another computer same configuration and is not the case?

  Hi scdrenn,

  Word and Excel on this computer are probly (when they open) being opened as Administor. Turn it off to:

  1. Find the location of the file of the program (Probly installed in Program Files > Microsoft Office)
  2. Right-click on Word or Excel first
  3. Then click Propities
  4. Click the Compatibillity
  5. In that list of checkboxes, Unckeck run this program as an administor.
  6. Apply then OK

  If it isn't check, I'm ideas! Hope that you get runing like an Administor,

• Folders default user account all empty - why?

  I'm puzzled. When Dell first set up my cell phone two years ago, they forced me to implement a user administrator account ("Charles"). This seems to have become corrupted in a few days, so it was removed and a second account username created in its place ("Charles2"). This moment holds all my Documents, Favorites, and so on. However, there is also a set of folders in the users folder called "Default user" but these (AppData, desktop etc.) are all empty. In my opinion, as the only user and administrator of the laptop, I do not see why I already needed to put in place a user account ("Charles2") in the first place that surely the 'Default' user folders should contain all my Documents and so forth? Can't I move the content from the Charles2 folder to the default folder and just delete entire records Charles2 tree? Or which will cause massive problems?

  I'd say you of let alone default user account and continue to use Charlss2 because everything works fine as things are now, and there is no reason to change.  I don't know what would happen if you moved everyting in the default user account - it could cause problems either immediately, or down the road.  If you really want to still try to do so, after back and I'll give you the procedures but I highly recommend.  Things are working fine now - it is unnecessary to make unnecessary changes that could be risky.  Because the records are all empty, it does not take a lot of space so this isn't a review.  Being the "Default User" is no more rights you have - you can do almost anything with your current account, you may be able to do with this account (although this account as 'default' account may actually have some restrictions on this subject which do not apply to your account of ccurrent)

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

  Most likely, this is caused by a 3rd party "software logon." For example, Omnipass is known to cause these 'issues '.

• Need help with my doen't account appear on the list of the user accounts our users

  On my computer at school the guy tech somehow set up an account on my computer remotely somehow so I could access the school's network. in any case said account has almost no privleges (I can't even shut down my computer with it for the love of God), but when I go to my user accounts to change the properties of it, it does not appear as an account on my computer.

  So my question is how do I get this account appears on the list of user accounts, either they have admin privlages.

  Hello

  As a COMPUTER service there will be controls on the system settings, you may not access or bypass.
