  • Cannot open my encrypted Documents? -Cannot open the document: user does not have access privileges

    I am using Window7 and I got some of my encrypted files by opening the properties of the file and selecting the encryption option. I have not had any problems so far, but all of a sudden I can't open my encrypted files. There is an error message indicating "cannot open the document: user does not have access privileges. But I have no other user account on my computer and I am logged in with my administrator profile. I turned off my computer, rebooted and tried various methods, but when I open the file it shows the same message as above. Help, please?

  • The admin user doesn't have access to the Standard user account files

    OK, I'm lost.  It's crazy.

    After reading the reasons to do most of your work on/as a Standard user, I created a user account (quite a while) and have been using it since--and perhaps the way I did have this problem.

    If I remember correctly, this is how I did it.  I had a LOT of files under my old ID admin, so I created another Admin account and then replaced by former Admin account is a Standard user account.  I have been connected and makes every slot the user account Standard since then, with Windows poping a request my Admin password whenever he needed.

    Today, I needed to change a tax return of 2013 - and when I reloaded TurboTax last year and needed to get the State program, TurboTax wouldn't, claiming that I need to be logged in as an Admin user (I have not the popup asking my Admin password).

    OK, here's the problem.  When I have users to switch to my Admin account, after the passage, almost all the icons on my desktop disappear AND there are only a couple of files in my files of Documents Libraries\Documents\My.

    Everything to go.  I thought as an Admin user, I had access to everything.  How can I get all this stuff back (the icons on the desktop for example and other user account files, etc.)

    When I was logged in as an Admin user, it seemed that I could share files with other Useers - so I thought, Aha, that's how it works.  So I logged on my Standard user account - but the ability to share my files, etc. did not exist, at least as far as I can tell (that is, cannot find this option anywhere).

    If all goes well there is something simple that miss me that things work so that as an Admin user, I have access to other user accounts where - it is supposed to work, isn't.

    Obviously need help.  Thank you.  Ron in round rock

    In fact, I have nothing - as stated in the above comment, I could see all my files and folders User\ron

    -> This either means that the folder is already shared, or that UAC (User Account Control) is disabled on your PC. This isn't a good idea because it exposes your computer at serious risk.

    I can edit, delete, running back, I can't (or maybe since I am the only user on this machine, I should leave him alone).  Just curious as to what I did exactly.

    -> If you have shared with read/write access, you can create/edit/delete the files.

    And finally, as an Admin user, I have only 4 icons in the taskbar (IE, Chrome, Windows Media Player and Windows Explorer) - that doesn't sound right.

    -> You'll get exactly icons you placed here while it is logged on as admin user.

    And really Finally, with regard to the disappearance of all the icons on my desktop when logged in as Admin user.

    Each user has his own profile. Inside the profile, there is the user's desktop. Desktop shortcuts that are visible while connected as user A are not visible when you are logged on as user B because each user has his own office!

    There is one exception: most applications require at installation time if their shortcuts must be visible by all users. If you answer 'Yes', then the shortcuts will go into this common folder: C:\Users\Public\Desktop.

  • The standard account users are able to access the files of in the administrator account.

    Original title: help with the Standard of Windows 7 user account

    I'm completely lost as to how I can possibly set it up on my computer. Here's the scenario, we don't have that one computer that all we share.

    I use my computer for the working documents and other important files that I do not want others to have access to, my only siblings uses the computer to access the internet to check their emails, games, regular and other navigation.
    I created an administrator account for me and a single standard user account to allow them their use, but not be able to make changes or install things without my consent. But the problem is that they are, log on with a standard user, they still manage to access the file on my "my documents" of the administrator account.
    As I check, they were able to do by accessing the C:\ drive > users > My Name here > my documents.
    I tried it myself using the standard account and I was able to make the changes/remove files store on my files of administrator account without even receive a warning or be asked an admin password.
    Is it possible for me to avoid this? How can I prevent someone using a standard account to access files on my administrator account? Or better yet, can you please provide steps on how to do a standard user cannot account not able to access to the "Users" folder in the C:\ drive?
    Is it also possible to have the only able to access their personal files user account?
    Any help is appreciated.

    Here are the key to your problem:

    B. users (HomePC\Users) - check (Allow) "Read & Execute", "List folder and content," finally "to read"...
    You must add your account name and give him full access, then remove the marks of graduation for "users".
    Unwanted permissions have been applied probably because you activated the group home environment and shared your own folders. There is a network issue, not a safety issue. I know little about this feature of Windows 7 and recommend that you ask the networking experts for advice in this forum.
  • Why under "user profile", I have 4 profiles named 'unknown profile '.

    I have two user accounts on my computer that I put in place. One is an administrator account and the other is a standard account, which is one we use mainly. In user profiles are displayed both and I guess a third profile for the built in Administrator account. In addition to these 3, there are four different user profiles entitled 'unknown profile '. There could be a reason, they are there, maybe someone can tell me. It is not just that windows would create profiles and do not know whence they came. Is this a problem. If I do not need these 4 unknown profiles, I would like to remove them but it's hard when I don't know what they are

    Ron, welcome to the forum.

    If you got to know that they are not necessary, I suggest log you in as administrator to remove.  I don't know that they will never cause problems, but who knows.  Everything that is not necessary on a computer shouldn't be there.

  • Someone at - it a repair for a function that is usually common in Windows, the Svchost.exe process? I and many other users of PC have infested with this mystery bug. Its not to damage yet, but...

    I'm infected w / which seems to be the most mysterious infection known for Windows right now.  One wonders if it's a Trojan horse, worm, malware, etc., or just a natural process for C: Windows\system32.  It's almost like 'shadow people '.  For most, there quite harmless, fantasy of the mind.  But, from time to time, there is actually something that happens on the corner of your cornea, so to speak.  This is very sneaky and difficult to diagnose a problem b/c he hides with the Service host.  I'm here b/c I have a question, but also to help others to understand that, unlike the 'shadow people', the shadow of an infection is very REAL.  This infected process is, for the most part, quite harmless unless something malicious attaches to it and could things get a bit risky.  Anyway, I'm sorry for this rambling diatribe, but I have a question for someone who is very smart b/c so far it seems not yet to be a definitive repair because some people still think it's a natural function or process in the Windows operating system.  So here it is: How can I solve this problem?  And I can fix it with or without a full restore of my records?  I'd really appreciate any input on this very discouraging, boring, mind and body draining, faulty computer "BUG".  BTW, I have a dv9500 HP Pavilion x 64 Ultimate for Vista that was bought there are 3 1/2 years.  I've dealt with this infection since the end of February and have spent more than $400 on this terrible nuisance.  But Club (all jokes aside), I really enjoyed, grateful and very thankful for someone with an answer to this complicated issue.  Thanks for the time!

  • One of the games that I have on my desktop won't other users that I have on my computer. How can I fix

    I couldn't find answers, maybe because I don't have good vocabulary

    I understand the problem. When you installed the game, did you install it for all users (even though sometimes it isn't an option)? Which allows to place an icon on the set of the user's desktop. When you install a game, generally anyone can use it, but not everyone gets the desktop shortcuts. For each user who don't have the icon on the desktop, simply navigate to your folder C:\Program Files\ find the folder with the game and make a shortcut to the right EXE file on the desktop.

  • Access to the library of photos from other applications

    This question is so ridiculous, I don't know even how to describe.

    When I use Photoshop or Facebook or even mail and I want to open a photo from my library, I'm not able to do it with pictures.  I can get to a picture category in the drop down menu below for the location of the photo, but in the category, it lists a library which no longer opens.  By clicking on that leads to an error message ("this file format is not recognized", or something to that effect.)  I have to go to Photos and send the picture to myself and to save it to my desktop in order to to use.  It didn't happen with iPhoto.

    I use an iMac of 2013 and El Capitan 10.11.3.

    Everyone knows this?  Can it be fixed?

    Thank you.

    In mail, click the photo browser to access the photo library: it will display a list of libraries of photos:

    Using Photoshop "file > open and scroll down to the media section in the sidebar." Click on the Photo icon. Then wait Photos appear in theistic and be prepared to wait awhile, until what the pictures will be displayed.

  • I tried to install something on the account of other users but my admin password does not work, I logged my account admin to make sure that im using the correct password and it works? any suggestions

    Works of password to log into the admin account

    This will happen when different keyboards are installed. Try to use a password like 123456 is insensitive to the different schemes. CapsLock or NumLock is also a frequent culprit in such cases.

  • Some files have transformed a 'green' color, others are the normal 'black' - access denied to 'green' files

    Some files on my external hard drive (MS office files) are suddenly inaccessible - I get an 'access denied' and the files are "green." Not all the files have changed. I have not changed all permissions. I have home access to the full administrator on this laptop.

    I use Windows Vista Home premium.

    Can someone help me with this please.

    I've never heard of a file becoming green before - it may be a security program or another program third-party (I don't think it's Vista).  The best thing to do is to check and change the permissions and if necessary take possession of the files/folders.  Do you have a third-party suite (or anti-virus program) security or firewall program (if so, what name and which version)?  Here is an example of a program that causes the problem to deny access AND lights up green files: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/computer-tips/how-to-encrypt-your-computers-hard-disk-data-and-files-for-free/.

    To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.
     
    To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  You can change now switched to read-only (even if the main folder indicates that they are always read-only - you can access yourself as the owner).  You can keep them in read-only to other users, customers and administrators even (although they can support themselves and access, if they wish, and it is really not that you can do to stop it except protect the file with a password by using a 3rd party product.)  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.

    Good luck and I hope this helps!

  • How can I use HP SureStore to back up my entire drive, including records of other users on the PC?

    How can I use HP SureStore to back up my entire drive, including records of other users on the PC? I have a Windows System 7 and currently, only backups HPSS my file user rather than the rest folders of the users (family members). I do not see where in the feature options where I indicate that I want to include all users in the backup files.

    Hello burtech, I wouldn't recommend using the HP backup program or the Windows backup program to backup my system.

    There have been many members who have reported many problems, try to restore the files by using these programs.

    I suggest you to acquire a hard drive image software. These programs can do a mirror image of the hard drive and save it in another location, on a second hard drive or an external hard drive.

    If the system is damaged, just insert a CD in the optical drive and boot the system, select the hard disk image and restore the system as it was when the hard disk images has been created. It takes less than 30 minutes, depending on the speed of your system.

    You would need to make a new hard disk image from time to time, according to the Windows updates or other changes to your system. I usually do one at least every week, or more often if necessary.

    I use Acronis for that purpose, but there are several other very good programs that do the same thing as well.

  • Windows 8 shows the other user when I start. How can I disable this?

    When I start my computer, I get a screen that says the other user. I have to hit enter where the password should go and then I'll get the back button which will reveal my user account, but the other user account is listed next to it. I don't have an active guest account so I don't know what the other user account and I can't turn it off. I had my computer configured to just start up and go to my Start menu. I'm not sure but I think after an update to windows 8 a few weeks ago he has changed. I took the shot of what it looks like, but I'm not sure how to download on this forum. I looked to see if anyone else has had a similar problem, but I haven't seen any. Anyone know what is happening? Thank you

    Hello

    Before reinstalling the operating system, I suggest you update Windows 8. Check out the link to do so:
    "How do I restore, refresh or reset your PC.
    Read the sections "refresh your PC without affecting your files.
    Note: The applications that came with your PC or you installed on Windows Store will be reinstalled, but all the apps you have installed other Web sites and DVD is deleted. Windows puts a list of applications on your desktop after you refresh your PC.

    The pictures that you have imported into the photo library are, by default, stored inside the package (not file) "Library.photoslibrary Photos" in your pictures folder.
