Lost Photos Changing Admin Authorization?

Feb 24, 2011

I was not able to edit my photos and was sent a link to look at my authorization level of my user. I have one user ADMIN and it seemed to be authorized in doing everything.

Anyway I chose a file folder with recent photo clicked on properties and then went to advance ....anyway don't remember what I clicked the file disappeared and I have not been able to retrieve it. I retrieved some of the photos by going to recent activity and that was a folder with in the folder that is now MIA.

Is if possible these photos are archived?? I just have no clue why the folder with these photos disappeared and more importantly why I can't find them on my C drive anywhere. I am using a Sony Vaio all in one.

Windows 7 Reinstall - Setting Default User Account As Admin With Privileges

Apr 3, 2011

I'm getting pretty good at reinstalling Windows 7 (Clean) - However I do have a question: What is the best way to set myself up as the Administrator so I don't constantly have to work around those pesky "You need administrator privileges to do xxx". I would think that even with setting my default user account as an Administrator, there would be a way to really be an Administrator.

Admin Rights Not Working For Admin Account

Jul 31, 2011

I am trying to change the folder properties of a applications folder from read only. I am doing this per instructions from the apps provider to prevent crashes.

When I go to change the permissions it states I need admin privileges. The only account I have on the box is the admin however I did change the name to something besides admin. The account is definitely an admin account.

Use Default Admin Account Vs Standard User Account?

Oct 19, 2011

I have always been running admin and even until now I run as admin. But, I have been doing a little bit of research and realize that using a standard account is a safer practice. I have never even used a standard account.Is using a standard account a better practice? Also, how does doing average task such as installing programs and updating work through the standard user account?

Disable Guest Account On Admin Account?

Nov 9, 2012

My friend and I share my laptop. Recently I found out that he was watching porn on my computer. So I promptly confronted him, and told him to stop. Weeks later, he did it again. So I downloaded Norton's Safety Minder to prevent it. So this sneaky prick goes around and enables the guest account, and lo and behold, porn fest again.What can I do? I don't want to keep him off the admin account, because he plays games on here, but I don't want him watching porn on my laptop either. Is there a way to put parental settings on the guest account? I know you can disable it, tried that, he just re-enables it, then disables it before he gets off. I'm really frustrated about this.

Few Programs Don't Run On Admin Account But Only On 2nd Account

Apr 14, 2011

I run Windows 7 on a Sony Vaio, and never had issues.recently I had this situation where some software doesn't run properly on my main account (admin) but only in a secondary account I had created the software is installed without problems, but then it fails to run properly as an example I have a small car speed detector which has a software to download journeys. it doesn't run as it should on the main account no matter what I try. similarly i bought a Sony Bloggie and its portable software as well as the main software that came with it don't work properly, but they do on the other account, so I (annoyingly) have to switch users, and run the software there, and then go back to my main account.I suspect some anti-virus or other stuff from my main account is "blocking" things somehow. I also had a number of instances where I get alerts like "windows cannot open this file for security reasons". I have tried to change security settings, firewall settings but nothing worked.there was a general security level that required admin status to lower, yet although I obviously am admin, windows wouldn't allow me to do.

Setting Up SSD Causes Reboot Cycle

Nov 28, 2012

[URL]

I want to set up an SSD and move the OS over to it. When I initially tried I got the error message that guy had: 'windows can not be installed to this disk.' I've got an ASRock Z68 Extreme4 MB and Im trying to put in a SanDisk Extreme 120GB SSD (extreme enough for you?). I initially had my SSD plugged into a Marvell socket, same as the other guy, which is when I found that thread. I switched the Sata cables around so I had

SATA3_0: New SSD
SATA3_1: Old HDD
SATA2_2: TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-222 ATAPI
SATA2_3: Not Detected
SATA2_4: Not Detected
SATA2_5: Not Detected

and then switched SATA mode to AHCI and enabled SMART. However, when I saved these changes and went back into a normal bootup, I got into a reboot cycle. I would get to the 'starting windows' screen and stay on it for 5 or 10 secs, then my computer would reboot. I tried tinkering around with some BIOS options, but I couldnt get anything to work. Eventually I unplugged my SSD and plugged my HDD into its original spot. I also went back to IDE and turned off SMART. Now it seems like everything works fine, but my SSD still isnt set up. How can I fix this?

Edit: After some more testing I found that having the SSD plugged into where the HDD used to be and plugging the HDD into a new spot was fine (this is the arrangement I wish to end up with). When I enable SMART it works fine too, but when I turn on AHCI I get into the reboot cycle. I also noticed that right before my computer reboots I get a blue screen for a split second - not enough time to read anything.

Changing Security Setting On Netgear Extender?

Jan 7, 2012

I have just installed a Netgear WN3000RP Wireless range extender and Netgear N300 Wireless USB Adaptor. The USB Adaptor shows as having WPA2-PSK Security but the Extender only shows as having WPA-PSK Security. This is probably something I did when installing. Is there any way to alter the security setting on the extender or do I need to reinstall it.

Lost Admin Privileges - Cannot Use Windows Update / UAC Off

Oct 30, 2010

I seem to have lost admin rights/privileges on my account, even though it says I am an admin. I can't use windows update because of the following message. UAC is off. I created another account and swapped admin privileges to that, and everything was ok, but as soon as I swap the privileges back to my original account, i get various 'this action requires admin rights' etc. I don't want to keep logging into another admin account just so I can use windows update.

Admin Account Privellages Not Wroking

Jul 14, 2012

I noticed a few days ago that my computer power plan was wrong so went to control panel to change and it says some settings are managed by your administrator and wont let me choose anything.

- UAC is disabled
- My account is only admin account
- Global built in admin account is disabled
- System restore wont work

Basically the computer is still functioning to an extent

- Still have access to C: and my other drive
- can access cmd.exe
- also got access to system folder too

I have went through checked all the privileges for my user and the administrators group all are ok, used the "windows god mode" shortcut to check through the rest of the settings everything to my knowledge seems fine except a few basic rights it seems.Also it blocks access to things like my AMD Fusion utility which works with the motherboard to control the Power plans (which i need to change) So does anyone know how I can restore my admin rights? Bear in mind that I cannot do system restore I also tried it from F8 no go.
