Just turned on the Guest Account for the first time. When I switch to this account, the desktop comes up with a bunch of misc blanked-out icons which it will not allow me to delete. And there's a blizzard of "Windows cannot open this file" messages - for shortcut links and for ..exe files including rundll32, issch, eullauncher, sttray, etc. How do I clean this up and start the Guest acct with a blank desktop?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI tried to search this but to no avail, My Guest and any other standard account I create, logs off automatically, and is not usable. Me thinks that this resulted from my attempt to erase the password of the guest account by back-spacing in the password field, until no characters and hitting enter or whatever. I still have admin, but no standard accounts will now work. I have Vista Starter (waiting for Win 7) How can I fix the standard account functionality?

I have an external drive on my vista machine that has gives "Users" full control. I just found out that the guest account is part of the "Users" group. Is there a group that does not include the guest account? Basically I don't want to have my backup drive accessible to the guest account. Is that possible without replacing "Users" with each individual account?

Anyone have any idea how to reset the Guest account to a standard user
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have had this computer up for 30 days at a time but when my sister comes to visit I turn on the guest account and log out of my identity and let the computer sit at the choice between my account and guest is and I can't get through a night without Vista Home Prem. crashing. I have SP1 installed and besides this problem I have not had problems like this. Why would enabling the guest account cause crashes? Is because I have programs running in my profile and that causes a conflict? This is frustrating as you can imagine. I looked at events and at 10:30 there was a faulting application: LVPrcSrv.exe faulting module USER32.dll. Then at 12:02 the previous shut down was unexpected. There is 1.5 hours between the fault and the message about unexpected shutdown?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to set up my account and I have an aol email account. Aol says to use: The basic information that you need to setup using IMAP and POP3 is as follows: Your e-mail address is screenname@aol.com or screenname@aim.com. Be sure to include the @aol.com or @aim.com suffix. The incoming mail (POP) server address is: imap.aol.com and imap.aim.com for IMAP, and pop.aol.com or pop.aim.com for POP3. Check the box for leaving messages on the server. The outgoing mail (SMTP) server address is: smtp.aol.com or smtp.aim.com, port: 587. Your user name is your AOL or AIM screen name. Your password is your AOL?? or AIM?? password-------I typed all the fields up to the outgoing info. the box would no accept : smtp.aol.com, port 587.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have tried to set up an email acount with microsoft windows, but only got as far as receiving an error report. I filled in POP3 on the first part of the server dialogue box and SM(P?)T on the second box. These were complete random guesses as I have no idea what they mean or what the correct ones are, far less how to find them. Why do they have to make these systems so difficult? How do I find out this information?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI remember the solution involved creating an admin account to change a setting. I don't remember what I changed either. So that account sits there, unused, and I've decided to remove it. The problem is that I don't know how. In account management, for that account, there is no "delete the account" or "change account type" options. Does anyone know why this is?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn Control Panel - Mail - Mail Setup - email accounts, I type in the required details to set up an existing mail and it doesn't recognise it when it tries to read the server (red cross instead of tick).

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to set up an account but when it gets to the POP3 & SMTP I'm not quite sure what to enter there. It's very hard for me to send out attachments or just general mail unless I have it. I'm using Windows Vista and I do have an hotmail email account. You can respond back to that email which is mz_nette2fine4u@hotmail.com I'll check it periodically to see if anyone has responded back to me.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a Windows Live Mail account and a Yahoo account and they both show up on the left hand side of my Window Live Mail account so I can choose which account I want to use or, for example, which inbox to look in. At the bottom, also on the left hand side of my Windows Live Mail account, it shows 'Add e-mail account', which is what I want to do with a new 'AOL' account and I want it to show on the left hand side like the two other accounts.
So I made a new AOL e-mail account, clicked 'Add e-mail account' at the bottom of my 'Windows Live Account', then I put in my new AOL e-mail account and password where it showed me. Then I clicked next.
The next page was all about my email server. When I did this before with a new e-mail account, it was all filled out automatically for me, but this time, all the blanks were left open and I have no idea what to fill in. I believe once I have this information, the AOL e-mail account will automatically then show on the left hand pane of my Windows Live Mail account below the other two accounts.
dont have admin password. i can log in as guest..ive tried several ways to overide password.
