Windows 7: restore the system restore users

Hello:

I have read several other offers, but still not finding someone with whom I have the same problem.

When I installed Windows 7, there was a user account.  Let's just call it ADMIN

A few days later, I put other user accounts to the members of the family, as MOM and dad.

At the end of the week, I met a problem and decided to do a system restore where I myself found in Windows has been restored to the beginning.

The computer restores, and that's exactly as before.  There is only one account administrator.  MOM and dad cannot connect again because they do not have accounts yet when we started.

But... when I look in C:/Users, accounts of MOM and dad are there, with all images and documents that they have saved.

How to set up accounts of MOM and dad to connect to the old user folders?  I tried to use the same name of folder, but Windows just creates something more at the end of the file name... so it's different.

Thanks for the help.

You can remove stale as follows profile records. Make sure they don't contain anything of value, because the process is irreversible.

1 log in under an administrator account.
2. click on the start planet.
3. type cmd.exe in the search box.
4. press on Ctrl + Shift + Enter
5. click on "run as Administrator".
6. type the following command and press ENTER:

RD /s /q "C:\Users\Jack."
(Replace Jack with the name of the appropriate profile)

If this does not work then I'll give you some more ammo.

  • If it hurts if I delete the system per user queued?

    original title: DURING the DISK CLEANUP

    WILL IT HURT IF I DELETE THE SYSTEM PER USER IN QUEUE AND WINDOWS ERROR REPORTING SYSTEM?
    I'M RUNNING OUT OF ROOM AND WHAT ARE THE FILES DEVOURS MORE SPACE!

    Yo can do that, but you can't win important disk space. The three main newspapers are system, security and Application and each maximum by default 20 MB each.

    How to deal with each must select Start, Control Panel, administrative tools, Event Viewer, Windows logs. Place the cursor on the system, click with the right button on the properties and select clear. Repeat for security and application logs. You can also change the default 20 480 KB 2 048 KB maximum. When you have completed the change make sure you click on apply. You must restart the computer to apply the new settings. You note miust use clearly if you want to set a lower maximum rate.

    You'll have more space by deleting old restore points. This action can greatly increase the free disk space.

    Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter.

    Using the system restore option is most appropriate when your system is slow and you need to increase the free disk space on your C partition. If you have errors that could be solved by using the system restore to your system settings back to before the error occurred initially do not use this option.

    If more than one person uses the computer and they have their own user log you need to run Disk Cleanup in each user profile that you want to delete all the unwanted files.

    A better program of disk cleanup is cCleaner. Delete System Restore points may be important if you have little free disk space. The ability to delete them is one of the tools options. cCleaner comes with a registry tool. Do not use this tool as any registry cleaner could lead to the creation of very difficult to resolve system errors.

    I have Windows 7 (32 bit) and Windows 8 (64-bit) is installed in a dual boot. I tried to extend the partition of Windows 8 with a third party partition manager. Subsequently, I restarted after having learned so much.

    Later, the first thing I saw was that the locked screen image is replaced by a blue color. Photos of the user are also missing. Once connected, it took a long time for windows everything ready, and I'm stuck in a black screen with the mouse pointer.

    Can someone help me with this please? Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello

    I understand that you have a problem of black screen with Windows 8 and the drive letter for the partition of Windows 8 is also changed. This problem is due to the use of the third party partition manager program because it affects the registry files and causes the instability of the system.

  • Microsoft Windows Vista: Rebuild the system volume information folder

    Greetings to everyone.

    (1) the Crypto ransomware locker has done the thing is on a friends laptop last week. This is a laptop HP DV900 Microsoft Windows Vista. Unfortunately, we have re-installed Vista, from the recovery partition, before attempting to restore the system, using the system restore. It is my understanding that the system volume information folder, contains files, such as excel and word files, which can be restored, but they are stored by Vista, in a special encrypted way.

    If I could get it back or if I got the complete information system volume, would be possible to replace the current and to restore the system to a time before the ransomware hit?

    (2) in fact, I've used a file recovery program and was able to recover a huge file with the name:

    {11d89a13-09a9-11e4-9917-cb6a370b41f2} {3808876b-c176-4e48-b7ae-04046e6cc752}

    This file is approximately 1.99 GB, and is dated on 17/07/2014. I suspect that the virus deployed on 18/07/2014 as the most important Excel and word files have the date of last modification of 18/07/2014. And those files that have changed on the 18/07/2014 cannot be open - unless I have change the extensions of excel to .csv file, in which case excel files open, but the info is still obviously encrypted.  OK, so I have the part of the system volume information folder content, which seem to be of the part that contains the files there, as this is a fairly large file.

    My question is this: is a reconstruction of the folder system volume information, based on this possible of the file? In other words, using this file I have cancelled/recovered, can we restore Vista from this file?

    Thank you for your time.

    You cannot use the system restore to recover files from the user.  Restore points would be zero because of the new facility.  Update of installation dates would be irrelevant as well as software installations.  The new installation files will take precedence.

  • I need to find the source file or registry that creates "Services" Exceptions in the firewall of Windows XP when the system is restarted.

    I have a boot sector virus (Troj/MBroot-H) that I can not remove from my computer without losing access to my HARD drive due to a custom boot partition.  I can't afford to repair or replace the computer I have at the moment, so I try to disable things as much as possible to neutralize this virus.  I have already downloaded Malwarebytes and analysis had revealed 18 registry viruses and files that have already been removed from the system.  The HelpAssistant account and its files have been deleted from the system.

    The only thing left to change is the firewall of Windows XP.  I currently have to restore Windows Firewall to its settings by default whenever I restart my computer because the virus has configured the system to add more 'services' and 'management' objects in the list of Exceptions whenever the system is restarted.  If I don't do that an outside source will invade the system via remote desktop and add the HelpAssistant account and the file.  I need to know how to replace system orders that creates these objects for additional exceptions during the restart.  I want to restore full contol on the firewall of Windows XP by allowing not exceptions except those I choose.  Is there a Window XP Firewall registry key or file that can be removed, replaced or changed to keep these elements to be added to the list of exceptions?

    I tried three different times, and they have all failed with the error message:

    I'm confused how to proceed with a resolution of 1 scenario; I finished scenario 2 of the resolution and the resolution of scenario 3 does not apply to my problem.

    I was able to complete the portion of the data backup, just am not able to finish the part "create a System Image", i.e. when the error message appears. I check back up data with the options "Restore my files", and as far as I know, all the files are there.

    So, what should I do then?

    Suggestions or comments are much appreciated.  Thank you.

    Hi all

    I'm sorry to post an update so late. I was waiting for my 1 TB External Drive happen so I can retry the backup.

    What I did is to assign a "drive letter" in the drive titled "RECOVERY", which has no drive letter in a first time.

    Image of my system and backup were created successfully last night.

    Thanks again for all your help. It is much appreciated.

  • Update Windows XP after the system recovery

    I had to do a recovery of the system due to the victory of missing files. What I have to do the updates one at a time and is there a way to determine where to start?

    Hello

    Password sharing is enabled by default for computers of working groups. When password sharing is enabled, people using other computers on your network cannot access your shared folders or printers unless they have a user account on your computer. There are two ways to enable file or printer sharing.

    I suggest to follow the steps provided and check if it helps.

    a. Open advanced by clicking the Start button, then on sharing settings Control Panel. In the search box, type network, click network and sharing Center, and then in the left pane, click change advanced sharing settings.

    b. expand the home or work network profile.

    c. under the password protected sharing, click turn off password protected sharing, and then click save changes.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
