View 3 RepliesI have just bought a shiny new Samsung Laptop with Win7 running on it. I have connected to my old Acer Laptop via the wireless network and it is transferring files across. For one file though it refused to copy it without the Administrator's permission! What the hell - it's my computer and it does what I tell it to do! (Except that it won't).
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am running W7 Pro as a sole user with full Administrators rights on a new PC. I have been installing software such as Word 2002, my scanner and similar but hit a problem when attempting to install Pinnacle Studio Plus 9 when I received the message that I need Administrators rights to install software when I put the CD into the drive. I know that Pinnacle Studio Plus 9 is identified as being for up to XP; could this be the reason for the message? I am unsure as to whether XP Mode has been enabled as yet but am aware that W7 Pro has this facility.
View 5 Replies View RelatedAt my job we just went from a windows xp machine to a windows 7 professional. when Some one with out admin rights does anything it asks for someone with admin rights to type in their info (their username and password). For instance, I had one user trying to download an email attachment and it asked for admin permissions. We have other windows 7 pcs in the building and they don't do this. The xp machine before we installed the windows 7 pc didn't do it either. So anyone know how to make it not ask for admin right when doing tasks that shouldn't need admin rights? Yes we are on a network, but their group policy allows them to at least download an attachment or even change their wallpaper.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have two partitions on my harddrive, one for the OS files and programs(labelled C), and the other for media and audio files(labelled F). Since I have multiple users, I made a folder for each user on the F drive to store the audio files. How can I make it so only each user can modify/add/delete their own files in their own folder on the F drive, but still be able to play files from another user? I tried giving each owner of the folder Full Control and the other users "read only or execute" but the other users are still able to add, write, and modify files.

XPMuser is having file rights problems accessing the Windows7 drive.When in XP-mode the machine name is VirtualXP-52160 (is this the same for everyone's XP-Mode?) Is there a bug in XP-Mode?For instance, I want to grant \VirtualXP-52160XPMuser full rights to my Windows 7 PST file for Outlook. Path to the file is: C:usersusernamedocumentsemailOutlook.pstI can open it in Outlook 2003 from within XP-mode, but after a minute or less, or if I maximize or restore the XP-mode window, or it's screensaver turns on... I get these messages (See attached). All in all, XP-mode seems pretty buggy to me. Or is Windows 7 just too paranoid with it's security settings?

I have three accounts on my Win7 PC. 2 Standard, 1 Admin. I have started using this PC since yesterday after a 4 month hiatus.
And I've forgotten the password to my admin account. Thus I am extremely restricted and cannot even install new software.
I have access to the laptop via the account but this is limited as it is not an administrator. I know the password for administrator but as I have wrecked the administrator account it is not functional.

I just recieved my replacement PC for the one that took a dump on me last week. It's great, this one actually has Windows 7 on it and it came with a new keyboard. All the computers in the office are super super old. Anyways, this computer doesnt have AMD ATI Catalyst Drivers installed so I downloaded them but cant install them without admin privilages.
Since my company is so large, I have to call a helpdesk, talk to an idiot whose sole job is to reset peoples passwords, let him create a ticket, send it to desktop support, wait 3-10 days for desktop support to call me, and then MAYBE get it installed by them if theyre being nice. Its such a hassle and I cant keep working on a screen that is 800x600.
I have lost my user account and folders and files, music and pictures . I have tried system restore but no success.
View 8 Replies View RelatedMy step son downloaded a bunch of virus' which hosed my computer. I just finished realoading windows and all my software and now I'm going through and removing things from his start menu so he only has access to limited programs, he's 9 and he doesn't know to go into the c:/program files to get anything. I was in his standard user account moving stuff so it would only show up on my login. So when it came up and asked for an administrator password I typed in my password and did what I had to do. The only problem is now he still has access to those things that I authorized. I can now go into his account and access my documents. I would think you would have to put in the administrator password every time but obviously that's not the case. How do I reset that so he no longer has access to that stuff?
