View 4 RepliesI use my PC for general use, gaming and web development. Currently have Windows Ultimate.What I am aiming for, is to have three accounts, General / Gaming / WebDev and have different programs installed on each.However, I do not want the other accounts to SEE these programs (I know I can just hide program icons etc).But want I want it to replicate, is like having three separate windows 7 machines... just with 3 different accounts.I know this can be done with a client-server set up.. but this is not really something I want to get into...I know applocker can deny access.. this is fine.. but ideally I would want the accounts to not even have visibility of the programs, not just be denied the permission to access them.Could I install the programs to the user account folder for each account? I think this would do what I want, but is this a good practice to do?

You can do this on the right hand side of the task bar but I can't seem to make it work on the left.
Unable to Hide Program in ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS..........
View 2 Replies View Relatedin XP you could select Always on top and Auto hide and the Taskbar would be on top of the Desktop but NOT intrude over Full screen programs, In 7 the Taskbar pops up OVER full screen programs whenever the mouse nears the bottom of the screen, making it very difficult to use graphics programs like Photoshop.
I'm told that several people have written fixes for it, but that Microsoft keeps unfixing the fixes...
you know when you launch the open menu to upload or something and you select the desktop, it has all this crap at the top (Libraries Homegroup, user folder, eta) which you have disabled on the true desktop making uou have to scroll down to select the one thing that actually *IS* on the desktop?
how do you disable those folders so they don't show up?
The hide/unhide arrows on my taskbar have disappeared and I can't figure out how to get them back. I went to properties and clicked on unhide inactive icons, but I still have the same 3 showing and none of my other ones.

So please if anyone knows how to fix this tell me. I don't want alternate methods like arraign them in a way that you cant see them in the right panel but they are still there or the method that makes those units inaccessible by the disk and partition manager I want to fix this to have it as it was before not an alternate method.

View 9 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to completely hide the taskbar? So it is never visible at all (unless you hit the Start button to open the start menu, for example)?This is for HTPC use. I'm using an application called MediaPortal which runs in fullscreen and hides the task bar, so it's fine while MediaPortal is running. But whenever I launch external applications or start/shut down the computer, the taskbar is visible for a few seconds?

View 2 Replies View Relatedlosing access to your Administrators account I figured now would be a good time to setup a secondary FULL Administrators account. I have done that.
But what I'm looking to do is HIDE that secondary account from the welcome screen and if I need it hit Ctrl+Alt+Del to get to the old style log on screen and type in the secondary user name and password.
In XP it was easy to hide user accounts from showing on the Welcome screen with the Powertoys add on. I'm not finding it that easy in 7. In fact most of what I have read states that the only way to do this it to set the account as NOT ACTIVE. I don't want to do that. I want it active I just don't want to see it on the Welcome screen.
Recently on a site that explained how to install Windows 7 upgrade there was info on how to remove your Windows 7 Activation Key after activation.
The reason I want to do this is so that someone can't run Magic Jelly Bean and reveal my key. This happened before so that fix explaining hiding or removing it sounds great.
I've searched high and low and can't find this info anymore. Has anyone heard of how to do this?
I was just in Windows Explorer, planning to modify my Startup programs. Navigated to "C:/ Windows7_OS / Users" and right-clicked on my User Profile "Bill". From the right-click menu, I selected "Properties", and then on the "General" tab, there is a checkbox under Attributes called "Hidden". I thought, "oh great, I will check this and then I will be able to see all of my hidden files".I selected "Hidden", and clicked "Apply".Now my User Profile "Bill" is hidden, and I cannot figure out how to unhide it. Everything associated with my User Profile is now hidden application shortcuts, My Favorites, etc.Can anyone tell me how to "Un-Hide" my User Profile?
