Windows 7 - new user - file 'APIGREID '.

When you use Windows 7 - editing from home, in front of a computer new and clean, I have created a new admin user with my name "daniel" and protected with password. After reboting, because it takes too much time to get connected to this new account, I restart the computer by the button...

And then, to my surprise, there was a strange folder created for this new user, called "users\daniel.apigreid-" and all 'my docs, my music, my xxx movies' was inside. There was also a "users\daniel" folder, but it was not used as Windows profile.
I am logged in as another user, all deleted * (user "daniel" and folders), restarted Windows, created once again the new user "daniel", restarted again and expect much to get connected as "daniel", because Windows was something I can't guess what...
Issues related to the:
(1) what was the sh * double folder t with 'apigreid '?
(2) why Windows created 2 folders to the same user?
(3) why Windows was waiting so long to show the desktop after login as this new user?
4) est-il possible que préfère les Windows Update télécharger et installer tous les craps au nouveau compte avant de voir la l’interface utilisateur ?
Thank you, best regards, Daniel

When you have a lot of files, programs, use a computer with other people and prefers to have 2 accounts (Administrator and normal user), the folder names may have some value...

-> In this forum we deal daily with people who have the same configuration as you have: an administrator account, a normal account). When the admin account goes bad for one of the twelve reasons, they are stuck. Create, test, and document an alternative account (even to have a spare House key) seem easy, yet few people consider until they are in trouble.

-> To keep things tidy: I would like to have verified that the records of two profiles was active, then kept and delete it.

Why Windows create another folder, with "apigreid" attached and are not continued to use this other file already created for the user, but may be incomplete?

-> If you are looking for long enough on the net, so you will probably find that some detailed explanation of the strategy that Windows uses to create/appoint profile folders. It's a minor problem since Windows NT came to life in 1995 about.

What could be runing in background, which makes the time of startup-connecting more 5 min?

->, You will find yourself running msconfig.exe and disabling startup tasks until you find the culprit. Very often, it is a third-party virus scanner.

  • I went to set up a new user account, but it deleted my old one with all my files. What can I do?

    I've just set up a new user account for someone else, but now I can access is no longer my own user account that had all of my files, pic, and setting.  How can I get this back account that has all my files on it?

    Initially, you were using the original built-in Administrator account.  When you do this and create a new user, the built in Administrator account becomes hidden (but it's still there).  It seems that you are OK with that, but you want your files transferred to your new user profile.  In this case, you must follow the same procedure as you would if the old profile was corrupted.  To claim that the administrator account has been corrupted, and then follow the steps in the following article:

    For some reason my user account was in sashes. I wasn't able to access the system restore. I did a restore and it allowed me to create new user accounts that my old files were still on the drive under the old user acct, I am not able to copy on.

  • I can't create a new user account (Windows 7): the user profile service service has no logon

    I tried to create a new user account, but I get the following error when I try to open a session with him:

    the user profile service service has no logon

    Until I leave than anything more I will add that I activated the hidden administrator account and this is the account I use to create a new standard user account.

    Most of the patches for this issue are due to the fact that delete manually a user account does not remove the registry key that are associated, and you are required to go to the next section of the registry:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS NT\CURRENTVERSION\PROFILELIST

    and delete the key associated with the user account to be deleted.

    This fix IS NOT help, because whenever I try to create a new user, Windows doesn't bother creating a registry key to the new user.  The new user account appears in the account management window.  If I right click ondesktop and select Properties, then the settings , select the Advanced tab and click settingsunder USER PROFILES, the new account appears not here no more.

    It is a huge problem.  I have other people who use this laptop and I don't want to use my login information, or the guest account.  I'm not editing the registry just to make a new account.

    Please tell me there is a fix for this that works.  Windows 7 was not free, and this kind of problem is very frustrating for the premium software.

    Thanks - this is the only tip that help me to find the solution to this problem.

    Two files in the folder C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live could not be copied without administrator privileges.  This caused the connection in the attempt fail for all newly created user accounts.  The files are:

    C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live\Bici\Bici1_00.sqm

    and

    C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live\SqmApi\SqmData720896_00.sqm

    I've added the read permission for all users in these two files and retried the logon.  The opening of session proceeded set up initial user and filled perfectly.  Probably, this problem started when I installed Windows Live Messenger which is the only Windows Live application, I installed.

    Other important in your message board was to check the event log which stressed the two files which could not copy.  Otherwise provided in WARNING messages immediately preceded files event log error message indicates that the profile service could not connect.

  • New user account appearing is not in Windows Explorer (Windows 7)

    I just got my reset of the HP laptop and I'm trying to set up a new account, I followed the procedure, but my new account does not appear in the list of users under Windows Explorer. only one generic user appears.

    When you create a new user account in Windows 7, it prepares the system for the new profile, but does not create records.

    User files are only created when a new user connects to Windows first. While Windows creates the folder structure for the new user, you will see the text in preparing your desktop on the Welcome screen. That's why the first connection to a new user profile takes a little longer than usual.

    So to see a new user profile folders in Explorer you should first user or disconnection of the account used to create the new user, and then connect to the new user profile.

  • How to transfer the original user files to the new?

    Original title: copy of the user files

    I'm looking to copy files to a new username. I had all kinds of problems with user names in Win7. I never had a logon screen and usually went straight to my account at startup. Then I had a problem with a program that some of windows installation files were accidentally deleted and I created a new user name and the program has worked with the new user name. But when I tried to go to the original user account he wasn't there and I had to use Restore to recover.

    I would like to copy files from the original user to the new user name, (office, send documents, etc.) of course the new usename is not displayed in windows now, but the files are still on the C: drive. What should I do to get all this done? What is this problem with user names does not and why Microsoft hasn't done a thing to correct? It obviously a known issue and every issue I see on this topic on the Microsoft forums there is never a response. What is the best thing for me to do to achieve this? I would like to give thanks to the prompt if possible. Does make sense for you?

    Here you go:

    1. Logging in as an administrator account.
    2. Use Windows Explorer to open files belonging to the old profile and the new account. Both are located under the folder c:\users.
    3. Copy different files and folders from the old to the new profile folders. You will be challenged by the mechanism of the UAC (User Account Control).
  • New installs on Windows 8.1 and file transfer from an external drive, saved from death PC Vista machine

    Hi, my old under Vista Home Premium (32 bit) desktop PC is dead and has been replaced by a new machine Windows 8.1 (64-bit).

    I took the hard drive from my old PC and put it in an envelope and the files seem to be fine. I need advice on how to do the following things 4:

    (1) how to find and transfer of e-mail, including records and contacts (I used the e-mail program provided Vista on the old machine) on the new machine and I can't actually set up mail on the new machine to my ISP (BT Yahoo) first (I didn't click on the mail app yet).

    (2) how to find and transfer bookmarks/favorites of Chrome and the old disk to ie11 and/or Chrome structure on the new machine.

    (3) how do I transfer files (photos, music, documents, etc.) so that they are available for all users

    (4) I installed iTunes on the new PC, I want to transfer music files and album cover (I don't know how the album covers are found, and some are "home made" to cover the chronological collections of singles) from the old machine in the easiest way possible

    Thank you for all the tips and advice.

    Hi Tovoyer, I'll try to answer your questions in order.

    1. Transfer old contacts and emails in Windows Vista Mail

      • First of all, you know that Windows Vista was the latest OS to come with a desktop e-mail program.  Windows 7 and 8 do not come with any successor to the Windows Vista Mail program.  Instead, you can get it as a download in the Windows Essentials page option.  Windows 8 has a rudimentary base e-mail app, but it is designed for the Tablet/phones and the lamp.  If you want something that compares to Vista mail program, you'll want to get the free download of the essential elements in this link before you move forward.
      • After you have installed most of Windows, you can open the program (so renamed "Windows Live Mail" and add your ISP e-mail account.)  This will download depending on how your ISP provides email, all or part of your story by e-mail in the new programme, possibly negating the need to transfer anything from your old installation.
      • If you do not need to transfer your old files, navigate to the file / import Messages option in the Windows Live Mail program.  Choose "Windows Mail" in the list, and then navigate to this folder on your external hard drive attached:

        D:\Users\(your user name) \AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail\Local records
        (replace D with the drive letter for your hard disk enclosure, of course).

      • To transfer your Contacts is even easier. The Vista mail program did not contact directly, it stores everything in this folder

        D:\Users\(your username) \Contacts

        The file present in Windows 8, you can simply copy (or drag-and - drop) your contacts from the external drive on your drive of Windows 8 (C:\Users\(your name) \Contacts) and it will be flawless.

    2. Transfer of Chrome Favorites
      1. If you signed in using your Google account chrome, all of your favorites are stored in Google account, ready to be restored without effort.  Just to download Chrome again, go to the Tools menu and connect you and your bookmarks should appear.

        If you do not use the Google account or had the sync disabled, you can still find your bookmarks.  After installing Chrome on your new PC, find the old bookmarks on the external hard drive file here:

        D:\Users\(your Name) \appdata\local\google\chrome\User Data\Default\Bookmarks
        (Note the bookmarks is a file, not a folder, but has no file extension).

        And put it in the same folder on your installation of Windows 8.

    3. Transfer of Documents and Photos/etc and put at the disposal of all users

    Simply drag - move the files in the folder "Public" user on Windows 8.  These files are shared by all users.

    C:\Users\Public (\documents \pictures, \videos \music, etc...)

  • You can simply drag the folder iTunes from the old drive to the same place in the drive of new (music folder of your user account).
