No "Remember Credentials" Choice In XP Mode Setup Wizard

Aug 19, 2012

I've just freshly restored the Windows 7 Ultimate Edition image from the restore DVDs for my Thinkpad. Once I had completely installed all relevant Lenovo and Microsoft updates, I set up Windows XP mode while still logged in as the administrative user, an error. There was the option to remember user credentials in the second panel of the XP Mode Wizard which I selected and verified that the resulting XP Mode VM did autologin as required (integration mode was automatically started as well).

So I logged off that Windows 7 account and started the XP Mode Wizard in my usual standard user account, but this time there was NO "Remember credentials" option available in the second panel of the XP Mode wizard.

I logged back into the administrative Windows 7 account, deleted all the XP Mode files, and started the XP Mode set-up wizard again, and this time there was NO "Remember credentials" in the second panel.

In each case, the VM's "Delete credentials" button in the relevant VM settings page is greyed out, as is the ticked option to remember credentials lower down in that settings page. Integration is auto-started as well.

How can I restore the "remember credentials" function for XP Mode?

Auto-play Won't Remember My Choice

Nov 28, 2010

On Windows 7 Ultimate, when I either power up an external drive, or plug in my phone... windows autoplay pops up every time. I don't mind autoplay, it's not that I want it disabled. I just want it to remember my choice. I always choose 'open explorer to view files' but the choice is forgotten next time, and there's no checkbox to remember it. Found this tool for XP, might it work on 7?

New Windows 7 Laptop Has ONLY Sleep Mode As Lid Close Choice?

Dec 30, 2010

I have a puzzling problem, my new laptop allows a variety of power adjustment settings, however the only choice *sleep* for the lid closing, it is greyed out so I cannot select anything else, in the advanced settings no matter which configuration I choose for the rest, I am given just one choice.I always set ac connected lid close to do nothing on any laptop I have ever had before so I am mighty confused why I have no choice.

Remote Desktop Will Not Accept Credentials

Aug 16, 2012

When I'm away from my home office, I like to use Remote Desktop Connection to log on to 3 of my home computers. I have done this before without problems, but this time I found that I could connect but the remote computer would not accept my login even though I was using a user name and password that I knew worked for logging on locally. I was going to come here for help, but I figured out what the problem was before hand, so I thought I would post what happened just in case someone else runs into this problem.

The problem was that I had gone to the control panel and changed the username from what I had used when the OS was installed. This is a no-no because some aspects of the original user name are permanent. I accidentally discovered this when I went to computer management and clicked on local user and groups and saw two different names. One under column name, and the other under column full name. When I changed the full name back to the same as name, everything then worked fine with RDC.

Get Windows 7 To Prompt For Admin Credentials?

Jan 19, 2012

On my laptop (running Win 7), I made 2 accounts, Admin and a standard user. When I am logged into the standard user, if i try to do something that needs elevated privileges such as deleting an icon, or installing a .exe file, the UAC will prompt me for Admin credentials which I will type in. However, on my desktop (Windows 7 Ultimate) I am trying to delete icons on the standard user account and it will NOT prompt for credentials. It will give me an error that says I do not have the correct privileges to do this (which I know I don't).

Programs Not Inheriting The Credentials Of The Owner

Oct 20, 2009

I tried running a program or bot on my Windows 7 Installation a few days ago. I assumed that the program would actually own the credentials of me since I was running it, but sadly that was not right as the program proceeded to tell me that it couldn't write to files. Which I found odd as I myself could both open then, read, add and then save with the changes remaining.

I had to actually add myself to the folder with "Full Control" before the program could run without any error. Now is it I ask, Why is that even required?. I thought it was implied that if I can access the folder, read and write to and from it, that any programs I run can do the same.

At least thats how it worked under XP, but yes I am aware that security has been tightened in both Vista and Windows 7. But seems rather useless having to assign myself to a folder I got access to already, before a program I run can access it.

Windows 7 Does Not Save Network Drive Credentials

Aug 5, 2009

I currently am doing file sharing through Samba. My Samba server is running on Fedora Core 8, and I am trying to access the network drive through Windows 7. I can map a network drive to Samba, and I can view and share my files fine.

The problem I am having is that I always ask it to save my login credentials (which are different than my Windows 7 login credentials), and it never does. I have to map the network drive each time I boot up my computer again.

how to permanently keep these settings so I do not have to map this each time I start the computer?

Local App Data Credentials Folders Missing

Sep 15, 2011

I screwed up today. While meaning to delete files from AppDataLocalTemp, I accidentally deleted (many) from AppData. [Sidebar: Is there any way to configure the file explorer such that deleting from the folder view is disabled?] After a brief panic, I downloaded (from another machine) the utility Recuva64 and restored the missing files to a separate drive, after which I copied them back to where they belong.

But, there was a problem - I could not copy files from the recovered folder Credentials to LocalAppDataCredentials. Even stranger, I did not have permission to view the security credentials of LocalAppDataCredentials. I tried booting to safe mode to fix this, but both folders were gone - the recovered one as well as LocalAppDataCredentials.

So, my system is up and running, but the folder LocalAppDataCredentials is missing. I tried using Recuva64 again, but it did not find the folder. I also looked in an older backup of my profile, but again, I did not see the folder. The folder does, whoever, exist on my notebook (but whose to say if the information is consistent).

Maintaining User Credentials On A Mapped Drive?

Jul 15, 2011

1. Two Windows 7 computers.

2. Each computer has a user account with the same name, but different passwords.

3. This is necessary because other users can log on remotely to one machine with this user account, but should be locked out of the other.

4. A local user who has access to both accounts tries to access a mapped drive on one machine. The user names are the same, but the passwords are different. Windows gives an error; the local user enters the credentials correctly (same username, but remote machine password) and says "Remember these credentials."

5. Credentials are remembered throughout the duration of the computer session.

6. When the computer is rebooted, the computer forgets the credentials for the mapped drive, and Step 4 starts all over again.

How can the local user save the remote credentials permanently? And is it possible without using Group Policy Preferences, as he is not on a domain?

Printer Choice - USB Or Ethernet?

Oct 24, 2012

I'm just about to install my new Canon Pixma Pro-1 printer in Windows 7 Ultimate X64. I had previously run an HP B9180 with an Ethernet connection (XP) but there were one or two issues like, sometimes, the printer going offline for no obvious reason.

I want to access the Canon from two other PC's (both XP) and need to decide the best method of connection to my Windows 7 PC. Ethernet, or USB and share?

Windows 7 Pro Clearing Cached Credentials To Force Re-authentication?

Feb 2, 2012

The situation: Using windows explorer to access a shared network resource, for example, \blahfolderfolder2 - the first time I try this on a new installation, it requires authentication (user/pass) which I provide (this is on a workgroup, not a domain).That's fine. The goal: I want a way to force Windows 7 Pro to forget the authentication and ask for a new authentication next time an access is attempted for that share. Here's what I have tried, and what has not worked: Windows Explorer -> Tools -> Disconnect Network Drive (it doesn't work because there is no mapped network drive to disconnect; next connection attempt does not ask for authentication) From command prompt (run As administrator): rundll32.exe keymgr.dll, KRShowKeyMgr -- Then select any network share to clear credentials for, then click delete button. (no network shares listed; next connection attempt does not ask for authentication)

From command prompt (run As administrator): net use * /delete /yes
(
nothing happens; next connection attempt does not ask for authentication) From command prompt (run As administrator): control userpasswords2

Go to advanced tab, click on manage passwords. This brings up the credential manager (can also get to credential manager directly from control panel). Find credentials to delete (windows, certificate-based, or generic) - there are currently none listed, though there had been earlier, and all were deleted. No change; next connection attempt does not ask for authentication. From command prompt (run As administrator): secpol.msc

Go to security settings -> local policies -> security options -> Network access: Do not allow storage of passwords and credentials for network authentication.

Enable it. Exit and reboot. No change; next connection attempt does not ask for authentication. I have tried all of these with or without rebooting immediately after.

Network Credentials Fail (Error Code 0x80070056)

Dec 6, 2009

When I try to create a system image on a network location Windows asks for Network credentials for the target location. The credentials I enter are correct but I always get an error message that the location can't be used because the password is not correct (Error code 0x80070056).

Is this a bug in Windows 7? Any way to fix or work around this?

Win 7 Does Not Save Network Login Credentials ( Username And Password )

Sep 21, 2009

This problem has been driving me up the wall, so I hope you fine folks can help me out with it .

I have a network storage device with several network folders and each of them are passworded for added security (in case someone manages to connect to my wifi). When I try and access them in any application or Windows Explorer, I am often (but not always) prompted to re-enter the username and password. This happens even though I tick the box to remember these details.

This is on an almost new install and I am completely stuck. Any thoughts?

If you are using IE9 and are trying to save a download, you've probably noticed that your not given a choice where the file will be saved to. It is automatically saved to a specific file. When I want to save a download, I prefer to save it to the desktop. Is it possible to change this setting so I can save a d/l to where ever I choose?

Dual Boot Choice Invisible

Jul 22, 2009

I have a problem with running Windows 7 (RC, 7100 i think) and XP on the same machine:

I previously had 2 XP installations - one on the C drive for general useage and one on another drive for audio recording (both are SATA) My C drive XP has been slow and rubbish for a while and so I thought I would reinstall windows on that drive, which I've done before a few times. Then I thought I'd like to try Windows 7 so I installed that. During the installation I formatted the C drive (looking back on it maybe not so clever - there was no data I needed on there but maybe I deleted important files?) and installed 7 on there.

Now, my problem is that I can boot into windows 7 fine, but I am having real difficulty in getting XP to work, due to various things. I have used easyBCD to try and sort out my OS choice at startup, as per some walkthroughs on this forum. When I reboot I have a strange problem where I cant see the screen where I choose the OS, but I know its there because the computer waits for a bit, unless I press enter (to choose windows 7) or down and enter (to choose XP) - so its there but not being displayed on screen.

That's not such a problem, but when I choose XP from the OS select (or what I assume is XP given that I can't see it) the computer just restarts right from the beginning. There was no ntldr in the D drive (where the XP installation is) so i copied it from the XP installation disk.


Also, when I used to be able to get into the 'Studio' XP installation, it thought the D: drive was the I: drive, if you see what I mean..

As I know from previous experiences the first choice is windows 7 and the second choice is Ubuntu I use arrow keys to select the OS with the screen still black, the screen appears only when the Log On screen appears (in both OS).

Dual Boot Choice Of Windows 7 And XP On Different Drives?

Jan 8, 2012

I have RAID 0 on two hardrives booting up 64 bit Win 7 running as SATA 0 and SATA 1.I have a third drive on SATA 2 from my previous Dell XPS which booted 32 bit Windows XP. How can I set up the system to give me a choice of either system?lthough Win 7 64 bit is faster, many of the 32 bit XP software programs will not run very well on Win 7 and in addition Win 7 doesn't allow the setting of of shortcuts the way XP does which means that Win 7 inevitably requires two key strokes to XP's one stroke.
