Computername/username Network Issue
Dec 31, 2009
I have installed Windows 7 ultimate and have a server with Win server 2003 installed on it.
On my main pc (with Windows 7) I have two user-accounts, both administrator rights. Both users have access-rights to the server. User one (myself) can access the server without any problems. However, user two (my girlfriend) cannot get access!
When making a network-connection, it asks for username/pw. If I fill this in, I immediately get a new username/pw screen, however this time it gives me COMPUTERNAME/User to fill in.
Obviously, my server does not recognize COMPUTERNAME/User, so my girlfriend cannot get acces to the server. The strange thing is that if she use the option to use a different user, and fill-in MY username/pw, it works ok (only till she reboots the pc and logs-in again...).
If have seen advise like "look for the entry "Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level" and open it. Click on the dropdown menu and select "Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated". I tried all of that, but nothing seems to work
I had no problems what so-ever when using XP on my main PC, so their is definately nothing wrong with the settings on the server (admin rights etc.).
For some reason, I once managed to get access to the server under my girlsfriends account, but the next time she logged-in, noaccess was made and never ever since then.
I already setup a third user on my server with all right, made that user active under Windows 7, but I faced the same isssues as my girlfiends account. only the account of myself seems to work?

This was a popular tweak for Windows XP and it worked also in windows Vista: it needed a very simple change in Windows registry:
System Key: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTCLSID{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}]
Rename the value named "LocalizedString" to "LocalizedString.old". Create a new REG_EXPAND_SZ value named "LocalizedString", and set the value to "%USERNAME% on %COMPUTERNAME%".
Exit the registry editor, click on your desktop and press F5 (for refresh). The "My Computer" icon should now be rename to "Username on Computername".
It does not work in Windows 7 because the system does'nt allow renaming or modifying the key. I even tried to start windows in Safe Mode but I did not succeed.
Windows 7 Registry Content is as follows (different than Vista and XP)
System Key: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTCLSID{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}]
(Default) Type: REG_SZ Value:Computer
InfoTip Type: REG_EXPAND_SZ Value:@%SystemRoot%system32shell32.dll,-22913
LocalizedString Type: REG_EXPAND_SZ value:@%SystemRoot%system32shell32.dll,-9216

I have four computer networked all using Win 7 Pro or Ultimate. I set up the network as prompted and set th user name and password. All computers are new to newer Dell running 64bit. Went to setup my HP Media Smart 6TB Server and everything just fine. After all setup everything worked off-line until I wanted to access the server. A Windows Security window opens requesting Network Password and User Name to connect to the HP Server. Well nothing I input does any good ALL my entries are rejected.
This is a total f.. k up as I know what I used for the main network and what I used for the HP Server but neither work. I have tried about everything I can think of and am still locked out. All else fails complete rest and reboot but just wondering if same problem someone else might have seen for answer.

I have just set up a new Windows 7 computer and am trying to access the HD across a home wireless network from my XP laptop. XP can see the Windows 7 but it is asking for USER NAME and PASSWORD. I put in, what i think is, my user name on the Windows 7 in the dialog box and then put in the password that I use to log into the Windows 7 when I boot it up but it rejects these. I went to look on the Windows 7 for user name and password and can't seem to find it in PROPERTIES of COMUPTER.

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?

I help network and run some office locations that run two or more computers. One computer is setup as a server with specific software on it, and another or more computers are setup as workstations.When attempting to connect to a workstation computer in the network I receive the error message:Network Error Windows cannot access \ComputerName Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there might be a problem with your network. To try to identify and resolve network problems, click Diagnose. Error Code: 0x80070035 The Network path was not found Here are some details:I'm trying to connect to a computer running Windows XP SP3 from a different computer running Windows 7 Pro Sp1 (both machines are 32-bit). Share folders are setup correctly giving everyone and administrators full access. I'm trying to connect from an administrative account created with the same name and password on both computers. Both computers have the same subnet and similar IPs (IE, one IP is 192.168.1.1 and the other is 192.168.1.2). Both computers are on the same workgroup name. Enable TCP/IP is setup on the network adapter (versus being "Default"). TCP/IPv6 is disabled Windows Firewall is disabled on the WinXP computer, and turned off on the Windows 7 computer. Computer Browser, Server, SSDP Discovery, and TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper services are all set to Automatic startup and started. Both computers have other software anti-virus/firewall that have been disabled (for testing purposes). I can browse the shared folder on the Windows 7 computer from the WinXP computer without problem, and don't get the above error on WinXP. Other interesting facts are that I can see the WinXP computer when opening the Network browser on the Windows 7 computer, but I can't see the Windows 7 computer in the Network Places browser on the WinXP computer. Also, I can edit the HOSTS with the computer names/IPs to stop the above error message, but it's really only a bandaid to this problem.I have other services that broadcast from the Windows 7 computer via the network adapters based on the LANA number (which I have correctly setup). These broadcast information and let software on the WinXP computer work correctly. These broadcasts are not getting through as if the LANA number was setup incorrectly, even with the HOSTS file edited.
I would like to find a solution without having to edit the HOSTS file. I've been reading forum post after forum post (google search). What's frustrating is this is not the only environment I have something like this setup (Windows 7/WinXP mix), but this network is the only one I'm having issues with. I've Looked over every concievable network setting between two identical mixed OS locations and found nothing different. Yet the problem persists. The Windows 7 computer was just upgraded to Windows 7 from WinXP Also. The image used to do the upgrade is the same used at another location I compared this computer to.

On every computer in my house, if I want to stream something from my server, I can go to start>run and just type \gomuhzserver, which is the computer name of the server, and stream whatever I want. But when I do it on this computer, I get an error messege: "Windows cannot access \gomuhzserver and gives me the error code 0x80070035 The network path was not found. Which is BULLSHIT. Because I have another laptop right here, and I'm connecting to it no problem. The other weird thing is this problem randomly started on this computer. Before that it worked just fine. Remote desktop works fine on this computer when I want to connect to the server, just not the \gomuhzserver thing.

I have a dell inspiron with Windows 7 that I got from Walmart for christmas. It came with a walmart adminstrative account, a guest account, and another user account. I Changed the administrator username And password, kept the guest one, And deleted the third account--- all through the Walmart admin account. When I restarted my computer however, both the walmart admin And guest account were gone and only the third account with a required password (which I do not know) and a blank user account that requires a password remained.
There is no open guest account. I Tried to use the previous walmart username password And the new one I created and neither work. Now I am locked out of my own laptop. I tried booting in safe mode but I still needed the aforementioned password..perhaps I did it incorrectly?
I would like to solve this without having to reinstall windows 7 os (but would like to know how to do that just in case). Let me know if any other information is needed in your assessment.

I have added an SSD drive which contains operating system and programs. I used Paragon to migrate my old C drive to the new SSD. I can boot from the SSD (wow is it fast). But when I use my old username to log on (Dick) it logs me on as a temporary user. I have done the registry thing by erasing the BAK at the end of the profile but it does not work. I have created a new user name (Dick_New) and that works, but, of course I am having to recreate everything, and all of my links are broken, eg., my many plugins in Photoshop and Lightroom. Almost as bad as doing a clean install (which perhaps I should have done).
My question. Can I just copy my "Dick" user profile from my new F Drive (old C) onto the new SSD. Or perhaps, just overwrite the new profile with the old?With Photoshop and LR when I activate a plugin, it tells me I have to reenter the license info to activate. When I do that I am told that I cannot do it because possibly there is another copy already running. I am going to call Nik later this morning when they open, but I am hoping that someone here has the answer to this question also. Of course, if I can log on using my old profile, this would become mootech Support Guy System Info Utility version 1.0.0.2OS Version: Microsoft Windows[CODE]

I really didn't know the best title for this problem. I have a problem with my girlfriends laptop, where she can't install any MSI files, due to a "The file cannot be opened" error, or something to that effect. After looking in the Permissions settings for the MSI file in question, I noticed something in the Security tab, under User Names. Where it's supposed to say Miss Ghoul (STEPHANIE-PCMiss Ghoul), it actually says... Miss Ghoul (STEPHANIE-PC"). There are " where Miss Ghoul should be. I tried for ages to find out how to change this, but because she's running Windows 7 Home Premium, I have no Group Policy editor (if it even helps to have it). Is there any way to force change the " to say what it's supposed to say? And could this have an efect on her ability to install MSI files?

Win 7 Pro x64. I've used a little app that you might know called 'IP Messenger for Win' (Open Source LAN Messenger / Chat application). It works well but with the latest version I'm getting a strange sequence of numbers appended to my Username (as per screenshot). It's not easy to get support on the product so thought I'd try here to see if someone recognises the issue and, no, it seems to have nothing to do with the 'machine name / description' - I've changed those (and back) to test. My Windows username is 'Jem' (which I've also tried changing). The rest is self explanatory - the other two users in the shot are Vista and XP.

I have a laptop with a company that uses a domain server.There are no local accounts on the company laptops, but you can still log in using previous credentiails.My problem:When I log in without the domain present (Example: Network cable unplugged) to get on the company wireless or VPN from home, the %USERNAME% variable is set to upper case.This wouldn't be a huge issue, except that some programs/scripts rely on the username variable being lowercase.My question: Is there a way to force the username lowercase, when logging in to a system without the domain present?

Does anyone have experience with windows 7 (32) not allowing the network workgroup name to match a username? Do to some existing procedures we would like the username & workgroup to be the same. This works fine on XP machines but not on the Windows 7 machine.

I have subscriptions to several paid websites. One of them does not save username and password. All the other sites save this information, but this is the only one that doesn't. I don't think it's the site. I wonder if it has something to do with my Kaspersky security softwareI use this particular site very often during the day. My old computer with Vista software always saved this information at this site.

When I booted up my laptop my desktop lost all its icons and a dialog box popped up saying:Location is not availableC:Users<Username>Desktop is not accessible.The directory name is invalid.I went to the C:Users<Username> directory and saw that my Desktop folder became a file...When I try to open the Desktop.. the open with dialog box came out. I tried creating a new folder with the same name (Desktop) and Windows says that a folder with the same name already exists.However when I right click on it and tried going to properties, then the Previous Versions tab.. I can actually recover my old files (1 week ago.. but I still need the current ones and of course use my desktop as well). How can I fix this T_T.

I want to stop my browser from entering my user name - it is not entering my password. While rummaging around on the computer I came across the Credential Manager and removed all of the Generic Credentials (there was nothing in the first two vaults). I then went online to see if that would work - No. I went to my Live Mail and DID have to put in my password to have the Live Mail program open. I went to the Credential Manager to see what that password logon created. It created the email address user name and 13 Windows Livetoken):name=(my email address;ser... Then I can't read the rest. What are those 13 (token)s?

I am having trouble enabling this feature in Windows 7 Professional 32-bit. This setup is recommended by SquirrelSystems when installing Squirrel Professional 6.0 on a Windows 7 machineThe instructions from their techweb site follows...Quote: 1. Open the Windows Run command 2. Type: secpol.msc 3. Go to Security Setting/local Policies/ Security options4. On the right hand side find Interactive logon: do not display last username and change it to ENABLE The problem occurs after rebooting. I am no longer able to log in to the account in which I performed this step under. If there is a second account available I am able to log in fine but it seems the account in which I performed this step is now locked/corrupted.Changing the password via the Control Panel while logged in through my secondary account does nothing as well.
