• Built-in administrator or an account administrator of the user created in Windows XP Professional?

  It is best to use the built-in Administrator account or a user created the administrator account in Windows XP Professional? Please provide details. Responses invited experienced users.

  You may not use the built-in account named Administrator on a regular basis.  Instead, create an account with "computer administrator" privileges  When you do so, the built-in Administrator account no longer displays on the home screen (which is to encourage you to leave it alone).

  You can also create an account 'limited' for regular use.

  Why not use the built-in Administrator account is that, sometimes, going to be damaged.  It is much easier to recover from a user account damaged if there is a good administrator-level account.

  If you use the administrator account on a regular basis and it is corrupt, you'll have a more difficult recovery.

  That said, the last resort of reinstalling the operating system is something I would recommend to your situation. Who knows what kind of environment you might encounter if you can open a session? Software of Dodgy or pirated, malware, viruses etc. In addition, your hard drive may be full of useless data, including the possibility of illegal images. Must I say more? I see you say that you have no boot disk (I take it's Windows installation CD), but a repair shop may be able to do the replacement for you. Get a recommendation for a repair shop if you can.

• MS offers windows XP Professional free for customers windows XP Home Edition?

  MY PC in the year 2002 came with windows XP Home Edition? But it was much slower compared to windows XP Professional. Many users for win XP prof especially pyrated version. PL Council MS will offer win XP Professional without cost or at a price of offordable?

  There is actually no difference in speed between XP Home and XP Pro on a system clean and well-maintained, with adequate equipment. XP Pro can still be bought on Amazon, and perhaps other places. Looking right now, I see a full retail XP Pro on Amazon for $259. I would stay away from eBay and Craig's list for this sort of thing.

  No, XP Pro is not available for free from Microsoft.

  A better option would be for you to discover why your XP Home is slow instead.

  Some reasons for the slow pace of the computer:

  1. computer has not been maintained - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Maintenance

  2. the computer is infected with the malware - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

  3. the disk is too full. Remove useless stuff, uninstall unused programs. Do not forget to save!
  http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Backing_Up

  4. flaky third party software. Toolbars and modules are particularly guilty in this area. Uninstall toolbars (Google, Yahoo, ISP brand, etc) and look at what modules are in use in your browser (s).

  5. computer has too many unnecessary programs/processes running in the background. Manage your Startup:

  For XP - How to troubleshoot using the Msconfig in Windows XP utility - http://support.microsoft.com/?id=310560
  The free Autoruns program is very useful for managing your Startup - http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/default.mspx

  For Vista/Windows7 - Start Orb > Search box > type: msconfig and when it appears in the results area above, right-click and choose 'run as administrator '. Autoruns is also very useful.

  6. the user runs an inflated/invasive such as Norton and McAfee antivirus program. Replace it with a better program. I recommend NOD32 (commercial) or Avast (free). Avira is also good, but the free version has an unpleasant reminder screen (Google for instructions on how to disable it). The user can also run several real-time antivirus/firewall/security programs.

  7. the user has installed new programs that are processor and/or memory-intensive (Photoshop, AutoCAD, Mathmatica or similar) and does not have the power of the equipment.

  8 drive fails and is in PIO Mode. It's very much slow (like being in 1985). See Hans-Georg Michna here information - http://winhlp.com/?q=node/10

  In addition to the above, see also http://miekiemoes.blogspot.com/2008/02/help-my-computer-is-slow.html

  Note: If the computer has always been slow, in addition to the above user may have bought a machine with a less powerful processor and not enough RAM (memory). The normal use of the computer, 512 MB to 1 GB is sufficient for XP; Vista should have a minimum of 2 GB; Windows 7 is less demanding than Vista, but the minimum of 2 GB should also be used.

• How to change the user name in windows 7 Professional?

  I recently installed windows 7 Professional and by chance I typed my user name and the computer when it prompted me to type it in. When I had typed the wrong characters in and click on 'Next', he wouldn't let me go back and change it, so I was stuck with an unwanted user/computer name. I managed to change the name of the computer for the word you want, but I didn't always know how to change my username.

  I went to user accounts, and there was an option to change the name of the account, so I did.
  However, none of my directories has changed its name, and all processes in the Task Manager were still running under the same previous user name, which I did not want it to be.

  Is there a way to change the username of an account so it affects all the directories, files, folders, etc. without creating a new account with that name? Or, if possible, copy all the files and preferences of the current account to another account with this name?

  Any help is appreciated.

  You cannot change a user account by changing just the name. Simply by changing the name will do a cosmetic change only and does not affect the underlying files/folders in the profile.

  1. from an account with administrator privileges, go to control panel > user accounts and to create the new user account named Standard the way you want to and at least one additional administrator account. Call the last 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar.
  2 log in to the new Standard user account once if the profile of the files/folders are created and then connect to CompAdmin.
  3. now go to control panel > system > advanced > user profile > settings
  4. you will see where you can copy user accounts. Copy the old account to the new from there. Use her browse to select your new account (C:\Users\newaccount).
  5 log in to the new account correctly named and make sure all your stuff is here and it works as you want. When you are satisfied, you can log on and CompAdmin and remove the old account from the control panel > user accounts.

  If you want to access your account again, it is corrected automatically, follow these steps:

  Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
  Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

  Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

  General recommendations for the establishment of user accounts

  You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. Like XP, Vista and all the other modern operating systems, Windows 7 is an OS multi-user with integrated system of accounts such as administrator, by default, all users invited. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

  In particular, you do not want account only one user with administrative privileges on Windows 7 because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult. It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but it will take third-party tools and work outside the operating system.

  The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

  If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this by following the instructions written in the first part of this post.
