Fixing The Magnify.exe After Enabling Default Administrator
Aug 8, 2011
I got locked out and followed the directions to enable to default administrator,,When I went to change passwords I did not change the magnify.exe back to the cmd.exe. Now I can't I have to be a trusted installer. There are also three of them. One is in the x86 folder, one int he Sys/WOW64, and another in amd64_microsoft-widows-magnify, this one and the first I mentioned have the same log group of numbers and lettrs following it.
It's making things even more difficult to do cause I can't open a comand prompt at all without rebooting. Is there anyone out there who can tell me how to identify which is the correct magnify.exe to change back to cmd.exe. I do have one that is oldmagnify.ext. Should it be that one.
And then one more problem. Now I am not the adminstrator so I need a "trusted installer" to make the change. My default administrator can't do it either because I created a profile for my network to use the same one on my Vista to share files in case I'm ever locked out again. I think by doing that the system automatically took full level admin rights away from my default admin!

I have the Administrator account's password, but in order to conceal it in the Start up screen. I disabled it. tell me that there is a way to type in the Administrator's password inorder to start the elevated command prompt? Why can't I type in the Administrator's password? Is it because I disabled it? Why is there only one way to enable/disable the Administrator account in HOME PREMIUM? I can't even try to restore the system to the earlier point because I have logged in with a standard account, and have no way to type in the admin's password. I should have known that a cheap version of Windows 7 would bite me in the axx one day.

I recently purchased a laptop with windows 7 home premiuim edition.All my files which were backed up from my old laptop on to hard disk were kind of encrypted , so when I try to copy them or change the encryption check box, I get the error message " access denied or admin privelges missing".I searched few forums and realized that there is a default admin account with all privelges which is different from regular admin account( I have only 1 user account which is also admin account)I tried to follow the suggestion:Command: net user active/yes..but it returned the below message:[CODE]

I like the Windows gadgets, but many of them are too darn small for me to use (like most of the CPU meters). Are there any programs that will let you magnify certain parts of the screen permanently?

I'm going to install a fresh copy of Windows 7 on a desktop PC. Now it's going to be added to a domain, and not use local workgroup. Therefore I don't want to mess around with setting up an account, and deleting it after joining the domain. Is there any way to skip setting up an account, and just use the local administrator account - or even join it onto the domain directly?

I have a load of Windows 7 laptops/pc's on a domain and wondered if the general feeling was to leave the default administrator acct disabled and create another local admin (although obviously I realise there will be domain admins as well) It was my understanding that leaving it disabled and not changing the password allows you to activate it should you need to

I am using Windows 7 Pro 64x and apparently the default user account (Owner) that I use is not working correctly. Unless I have UAC set to Never Notify, I cannot open Control Panel or UAC again. I have created a second user account as Administrator and it works correctly.
I would like to know if there is any way to fix this problem short of a clean install of Windows. If not, is it possible to move all of my settings to the user account that works correctly and delete the one that does not.

My laptop has Windows 7 installed.My Toshiba Satellite L650 started slowing down and freezing every hour or so while for a few weeks which progressively got more often. I thought it was the new modem/router the cable company installed and maybe got a bad virus. I purchased Norton 2012 and after talking w/Toshiba support did a system restore by holding down the "0" button. This seemed to work but not for long, a week later the same issues were occurring. I did another system restore and it worked for a couple of days. Chkdsk did find bad clusters. Now start up repair keeps trying to fix it when I turn it on but it can't.I have ordered a new hard drive from Tiger Direct a few days ago, it is on back order, not sure when I'll get it.I'm afraid to use the start up repair disk that I made on the new hard drive when it does come.My questions are: is there any other way I should be going about fixing this 14 month old laptop?Also, I don't have the original software disks, they didn't come with the computer so I either have to order a copy from Toshiba or should I use that repair disk? Can software cause an issue like this?

I have not had much experience troubleshooting errors like this. I have several recent dump files that have been analyzed via the windbg tool I saw referenced in a different thread. I get bluescreens usually about once a day, sometimes twice a day. It doesn't really matter what I'm doing. I can be surfing the net talking on ventrilo.
I can be poking around checking out Windows 7 features. I can be playing an online game. I can even be asleep and when I wake up, it's there. I assume it's some kind of driver related issue but when looking over the dump files, I'm really not sure what I should be looking for. Hopefully there is someone out there that can share their wealth of knowledge.
I run a Core2Duo E6600, 4 gigs of Patriot DDR2, an Asus P5N32-E SLI Motherboard, an EVGA 8800GTS 640mb video card, and 3 Seagate drives.
I initially thought the problem could be sound related. So I installed the latest Vista drivers for my onboard sound device courtesy of the Asus website. A friend had suggested that the Windows 7 Nvidia display drivers could be the culprit. So I am currently running 64bit Vista Nvidia drivers. However my system has crashed after each attempt at fixing it. I ran a memory diagnostic through Windows. I walked away while it was doing it and when I came back it had booted into Windows and nothing was stated one way or the other.
For the record it seemed fine during the first pass so I walked away thinking it would report something when it was done. For the most part I've just rebooted and kinda chalked it up to it being RC and maybe I needed to wait for Windows 7 specific drivers in order to address whatever issue I was having. But as time went on, I've come to the conclusion that I should try to address this issue as it may not be something that simply goes away come final release.

My laptop is currently dual booting Ubuntu 11.04 and windows 7. Recently windows has been taking forever to boot up (at least 2 - 4 minutes), it runs perfectly fine when booted. I stuck in the CD to see if there was any start up errors but I cannot seem to access that due to the grub menu. Is there anyway to fix this issue?

I deleted my recovery partition before realising it was the recovery partition. That 11.26GB unallocated was the recovery partition.I was installing Ubuntu as a dual boot, and wanted to install it on its own partition. But I already had 4 primary partitions (the 1.46GB bootable recovery partition, C:, E: and the 11.26GB partition with the recovery files). So i shrunk C:,deleted the 11.26GB partiton and created the new primary partition. I later discovered it had the recovery files.Ubuntu installation needed some other partitions and it must've converted E: to a logical drive.I have installed the MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition v7.5 The results of a full quick scan: Double clicking the HHDRECOVERY partition (unallocated space) shows the recovery files: However, doing a full scan of the unallocated space also shows a small partition labeled "Boot": Double clicking that drive shows the following:However, that folder does not appear to contain any files. There was a [+] to the left of the folder, but clicking it just made it disappear since there was nothing to show. I'm not sure if I can just ignore this tiny section or not.
I am just wondering if anyone has any recommendations on how I should proceed. I have not ever attempted partition recovery or used this program before and feel like I only have one shot at this and don't want to screw it up, if it is even possible.Also, yes I did create recovery discs, I think I've done it twice, but I'm not sure where they are. I've had a good search but haven't found them. Although I've other places yet to search but so far not the opportunity. I know using these discs, if I find them, will reinstall recovery partitions.My laptop is a Qosmio F60 running Windows 7 Home Premium SP1.

A 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?

I use an old XP app (JetToolbar - available at JetToolBar - Free software downloads and software reviews - CNET Download.com) and do not want to change but I cant make it work on Windows 7. The application installs and starts up just fine but it is not possible to drag icons/programs/files to the toolbar - I just get the 'no entry' sign (Circle with line through)However, the application runs fine when logged on to the hidden Administrator account. If I set up the application in the hidden Admin account and then log on as a normal admin user and run it from that account, the icons I set up are just not visible.So what do I have to change in my normal user account (member of administrators) to make this drag and drop work?I have tried 'Run as administrator' but that made no difference. Ive read about dropping to 'Run as User' apps from 'Run as Admin' apps but that's not the problem (at least problem occurs when app is run as user or run as admin)

I have been using an Acer Aspire 7551G windows 7, and when purchased the Wifi was already enabled and has always picked up available networks.However I think I may have accidently disabled it, pressing the F3 key does not do anything so it is not lighted up or showing any available networks.

to enable macros in Excel I have to go to Developer then enable macro. Err message ordering me to exit the file, then re-enter it and repeat the "enabling" procedure. This does not always remedy the problem. I have to restart the computer... then go back to my Excel worksheet.
However, now even this doesn't work! Result: I am unable to use my macros.
