Windows 7 user account rights

Hi guys,.

Can I create a user account which is entitled him to install the program, but are not entitled to change his or her password and account privileges?

Thank you

Right click on the link "Computer" in the start menu, and then select Properties.

Under local users and groups, change the settings of the user so that "bethe user cannot change password"

What about allowing them to install programs, they can still install programs for "only themselves" if they install in the user directly folder as c:\users\shawn.  If they want to install a program that takes in charge the entire computer (installing it in c:\program files for example), then they have administrator rights.  And if they have administrator rights, they can probably just doing anything (even kidnapping their own restrictions and change their password).  Of course, since you are an administrator, you can always reset and change their password.

    Hi Colin Davis,
     
    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft Forums.
    1. try performing clean boot: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/331796
    2. check if you have the same problem in safe mode
    3. open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally made programs, click Accessories, right-click command prompt, and then click Run as administrator, and in the command prompt, type sfc/scannow. Restart the computer and check.

  • Different professional in Windows XP user accounts

    In Windows XP Professional, what is the logic behind allowing holders of 'Power Users' accounts (except, well sure, administrators) to run some Legacy Applications while people with accounts accounts & comments ordinary user can not run the same?

    What are the typical work scenarios where:

    (1) should only have built in Administrator account
    (2) the need to create user accounts administrator & Power
    (3) the need to create the user accounts for plain a lot (maybe except the administrator account)
    (4) to activate the guest account?

    'Administrators', 'Power Users' and 'Users' are nothing more than the groups that individual users can become members.  By default, each of these groups is given certain privileges.  'Users' have the least privileges, "Power Users" have more privilege, and "Administrators" have the highest privileges.   'Guest' is simply a user specialized controlling less than any other user.  There is also the built-in "Administrator" user cannot be deleted, which by default is a member of the "Administrators" group

    A person who needs to use programs like Microsoft Office and Internet Explorer pre-installed would probably just privilege 'user '.  Power users can change some system settings that can not users and administrators can change the privileges to access the file and add/remove other users on the computer but also install applications.

    A set of privileges is predefined in Windows, but can be changed by an administrator.  Read the following article for a description of which users have what default rights:

    "User rights".

  • Problem with Windows Vista user account management

    When you go to user accounts in Control Panel, I automatically get up my account but when I click on 'manage other accounts' and continue, I get a screen saying click account you want to manage but no icons or accounts don't appear in the box below?

    If I click on 'create new account' it does not work either, I was able to create accounts by going to the parental controls and after the link, but I can't seem to delete user accounts. I am running Vista Home Premium.

    Any ideas appreciated?

    I recommend you to check your admin rights.
    Eventually you cannot delete user accounts and cannot change anything because of a bad rights.

  • 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.

  • New Windows Vista user account access

    I'm running a new Dell with Windows Vista Edition Home Premium and have had no problems of access to our wireless internet access. I created a new user account (not asked) the other day, but for some weird reason, I can't access our wireless thanks to the new account.
    The computer recognizes the wireless signal, but there seems to be a connection problem. How can I get the internet to work on the new user account?
    And just in case where, I know absolutely nothing about computers. We are talking about computers for the tips zero here, please.

    Thanks for the quick response, the lot.

    I've followed all the steps and was still scratching my head, but an error message popped up while I was in the new account, saying: there was an adapter error. I have a D - Link USB wireless network card thingamijiggy, so I took and plugged into the computer.
    He then asked me to confirm my password to access the wireless - perfect internet connection account, no worries.

    Bravo again.

  • The Windows 7 user account control settings does not open

    Hello

    Someone knows a problem where a computer launches the application "change user account control settings?  We are dev work on multiple PCs and need to disable this feature.  Normally, I would run the UAC and just drag the bar down, but I can't even the application to load.  I even tried running: C:\Windows\System32\userAccountControlSetings.exe and it does nothing.

    Thank you
    Sean

    Well, I was not able to understand why the window UAC doesn't appear, however, I managed to disable UAC via the local policy settings.  For reference purposes:

    1. Start > run > gpedit.msc
    2. Computer configuration > Windows settings > security settings > local policies > Security Options
    3. Then define:
    4. User account control: behavior of the guest of elevation for administrators in Admin Approval Mode – set its value toElevate without asking for confirmation.
    5. User account control: detect application installations and prompt for elevation - set its value todisabled.
    6. User account control: only elevate the UIAccess applications that are installed in secure locations - set its value todisabled.
    7. User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode - set its value todisabled.

  • Single AD on Windows 7 and Windows XP user account

    Hello

    I am currently studying for my office. We have an obligation to provide a Windows XP machine to a user for use with a custom application; they were asked to use their existing user account, they use for Windows 7 on XP "kiosk" machine they will use on an ad hoc basis.

    Are there any known issues that occur when you connect to a Windows XP-based computer by using the same user account that is used for Windows 7? The machines and the account are in the same Active Directory.

  • How to remove a Microsoft Windows 7 user account

    Hello

    I accidentally finished with two accounts for Microsoft users. This only causes me no problems end. I want to delete the old one - because the news is on all my other devices.

    I saw you have instructions on how to do this in Windows 8.  But I'm on Windows 7. How can I remove the old Microsoft user account in Windows 7?

    Thank you

    Diana

    In fact, I solved my problem. But I would like someone helped me. I was about that AGE. But just in case someone else has the same problem (IE two WindowsLiveID or Microsoft accounts) you go to OneDrive (SkyDrive), log in, go to settings, until at the bottom there is an option to delete your account. I thank God for it.

  • In Windows 7 user account control

    Hello

    I have a PC with Windows 7. I downloaded Magellan Content Manager to manage my new GPS Magellan, but whenever I double-click on the program to execute, User Account Control stands up and says: 'do you want to allow the following program... '. ». Is it possible to get the account control user to recognize that I have confidence in the program? I have a number of programs that I downloaded from the Internet and it is not disputed any of them except this one. Any suggestions?

    First of all, is your account of usual user "Administrator" or "Standard user"?  Go to control panel > user accounts for know.

    Even if your account is an account 'Administrator', Windows 7, local administrator accounts run as a standard user except when specifically authorized to do otherwise.  In other words, if you have not made any changes to the system setting, when you try to do something that requires administrator privileges, you will get a UAC prompt.  The difference is that if already logged in as a local administrator, the prompt will ask just for your authorization, like this:

    However, if you are logged as long as standard user, you will be presented with a list of accounts local administrator on the computer and an application to enter a password for one of them, like this:

    Because you get the UAC prompt when you try to Start the program, the question is not what the program could eventually do after it is started (for example, try to save files in system folders), but that the program be appointed - by the code in the program itself - as an "administrator task", i.e., a task that could potentially accomplish administratove missions.  Most applications that are referred to thus show a security shield on the shortcut for the task icon...  I guess the shortcut of the content for your Magellan Manager has a shield, like this:

    I have not tried the following, myself, but this tutorial is intended to be a way to perform a task that normally should be 'high' without causing the UAC prompt to appear, but only if logged in as a local administrator, not a standard user--> http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/11949-elevated-program-shortcut-without-uac-prompt-create.html

    I have several clients Windows 7 Professional in a workgroup setting that all have the same user name and password.

    All except one s PC can access the shares on each PC in the working group. I deleted the user account and recreated using the exactly the same name and password but when I try to access one of the actions of the problematic PC I get the message "you are not allowed to. access\\NetworPC\Share. Contact your network administrator to request access.

    I have tried everything I know, but can not resovle the question and do not want to rebuild the PC so avoidable. I need expertise help, can you please let me know your thoughts?

    Wasim A, thank you for your contributions to my question. They were all excellent advice for troubleshooting, but none of them were the answer to my problem.

    I have by dumb luck after nearly a day researching the issue expenses came across a forum post which corresponded to my problem and it is resolved.

    If you are in the same homegroup with another PC, you cannot connect to the share folder (not the folder sharing homegroup) that windows creates another connection (see net use). When I feuillé homegroup, I can connect to the shared folder as I wanted.

  • Lookout 6.5 cannot create new Windows 7 user accounts

    Hello

    I use Lookout 6.5 (Build 49153) on a 64-bit Windows 7 computer. I also installed it on my development machine that is also running Windows 7 64 bit. On both machines I can't create new accounts of users at Lookout. I get an error that says:

    Add user operation failed. Check the system drive disk space.

    There are a lot of free space on the hard disk, so this isn't the problem. I am connected to Lookout and Windows administrator is connected under the administrator account. I'm guessing that there may be a security issue with Windows 7. I tried to adjust UAC in Windows disabled, but it did not help.

    I can't add a password for the default Administrator account to Lookout. I get the following error:

    Could not change the properties of that user.

    I really need to solve this problem as soon as POSSIBLE because operators are required to use the Administrator without password account to make the system work, so that they have way more rights that they need and can enter edit mode and really cause some damage. Thanks for any help you can give me.

    Thank you
