When I stalled Windows 7, I was with the understanding I was the Administrator.But then I find it will not let me into system directories to access files andetcUpon checking I find the Admin account is still deactivated, was up with that? How can I change my account to the real admin and keep all my settings and etc?
View 9 RepliesA little background and info: I support a number of people who for one reason or another need to be able to do things a local admin can do like install programs and start services (or more accurately allow a program they're running to start a service). All users are in the local administrators group. The local admin account is enabled (and renamed) so that we as administrators have local access when the machine comes in for service. The machines are joined to a AD domain so that we can control a lot of the security via GPO. Everything worked fine in XP.
We are getting a few different "you do not have permission" errors. When the user tries to run OpenAFS (which starts a service) they get a "you do not have permission" error. There is no way around this error.
Also, when the users try to run Lotus Notes they get a "you do not have permission" error. When we go into compatibility mode and check the "run as administrator" (or just right click and "run as administrator) it works fine, but they have to click the elevated privileges. The program was installed while logged in as the user.
Again, all users are members of the local administrators group. When the local admin account logs in all these programs run fine. This behavior started in Vista and I chalked it up to "vista sucks". Windows 7 so far seems to be great, except that like in vista, members of the local administrators group are not really local administrators. How do I make them true local administrators?
Not a big deal and kind of humorous but on my Win 7 PC I have administrator access.But there are times the computer says I don't have access to do a particular function and that I need Admin access to do the task, even though I am the one logged in and have administrator access.I guess I could generate another account and give admin access and see if that works but was just wondering if there was something weird about a setting.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy problem is with my new laptop running Windows 7. I am trying to open a couple different applications and am being denied access although I am listed as "Administrator".
I followed a step-by-step to change my access by allowing myself to have "Full Control" but when it goes through files many of them say "Access Denied" and I have to click "Ok" a thousand times.
I fear that I've already picked up something nasty on my machine. I have downloaded Spybot and it's giving me the below information after clicking the "Fix Above" button:
-An error occured while trying to archive into the quarantine. Cannot create file "C:\Quarantine.reg". Access is denied
-An error occured while trying to archive into the quarantine. Cannot create file "C:\Program Files (x86)\Spybot - Search & Destroy 2\Quarantine.reg". Access is denied
The second one repeats 2 more times.
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit isn't giving me,full administrator rights. So what is happening is that if you open up "Control userpasswords2" in command prompt, it has me listed as Homeusers: Administrators. This isn't full power, everytime I restart or do something I need to active just administrator.
View 14 Replies View RelatedThis is a new computer (laptop) with 7 Pro. The Administrator account has full privileges, but if I try to create a new account with administrator privileges, it does not have the full privileges--i.e., its a though its a more limited account even though it says its an administrator account. I have checked and there does not seem to be any fix for this except reinstalling windows--although this computer just came with OEM and I don't have a CD. Any way to correct it?

Now when I go to parental controls, I click an account and it says that it is unable to make changes to parental control settings, and contact System Adminstrator. It was working fine before, and only started recently. I tried making new accounts or placing restrictions on another account, the error still pops up. My system is 32 bit.
View 1 Replies View RelatedOkay so this is my problem; About two weeks ago my mother got to keep a laptop from work because she was moving schools and it was "outdated".It was on a school domain so it had her login from the schools.At the login page all i had to do was type "name.name" and the password and that was fine. She did not use the laptop anymore so she gave it to me.Even though she was a administrator i was getting sick of logining in as her all the time so i tried to create a new account. I want in to controle pannel and tried to make one but it came up with domain and user name. i tried to create a account but it was saying the rustrelationship with this domain and Lt-D-8JK12S. (the laptop) were denied.I went through another way to create a account through some workgroup thing , it worked. When i had to log on i would have to type Lt-D-8Qjk12Susername and password It only happened about two days ago that it started to have some problems.I could only log on to my account even though it had many different users in the laptops hard drive. it would say that i got my password wrong when i tried to type.the main problem is that i cant do anything because i am not an administrator and i kept being denied when trying making system changes and copy files on to a memory stick.
