I have notice that their is a account on my system that I did not create. It's called (ASP.NET Machine A...) where did this come from and does it have something to do with IE7. This account is listed as a Limited Account and is password protected, but does not show up on start screen only in Control Panel Users Accounts.
The Users Account will not open.Everything else in the Controll Panel is accessable except AudioHQ, using a Audigy2 ZS sound card, and Windows Media Connect.Don't know what the latter 2 are.I can access Users Accounts in Safe Mode with the Admin account. Checked and my User Account has Administrator Privalege. How can I get access to the User Account?

I am trying to create a new account on my WIndows its has XP as its operating system. But it wont let me type in the area where you would create the name or password areas. Any ideas on how to fix it?
I get this message after the long and tedious attempt to install SP2. I've tried doing it from download and even got the CD. Same result. I am logged on as administrator and have everything enabled. Would like to update...any one know what's going on?
If you have Comodo Firewall Pro v3.0.25.378 on your system the install of sp3 may hang at 'Running processes before install'. This is due to the May 30, 2008 update of Comodo and the 'Guard32.dll'.To install sp3 either uninstall Comodo or an easier method is to disable 'Defence+', open the system32 folder and look for the 'Guard32.dll'. Right click on the 'Guard32.dll' and rename to 'Guard32.dll5' (or whatever you want to rename it to).I spent hours trying to figure out why the sp3 install hung at 'Running processes before install' (if you open Task Manager while the install is hung you will see 'fixcss.exe' and 'nv4prep.exe' using 100% cpu). Finally boiled the problem down to the 'Guard32.dll' which is Comodo's 'Defence+'.It won't do any good just to completely shutdown Comodo and stop the service. Apparently the Guard32.dll remains in memory and needs to be disabled by renaming it.After installing sp3 go back and rename the Guard32.dll to it's original.I have contacted Comodo about this issue and they seem to be working on it.
I have a Windows XP Pro (Service Pack 2, if that matters) graphics specialty workstation on my Windows 2000 domain. I have the same problem that several other people have posted here, where I want anyone who logs into that computer to be able to use its locally-connected HP PhotoSmart 7900 color inkjet printer. But when XP is connected to a Windows domain, nobody who doesn't have administrator rights to the computer can install the printer; besides that, I really don't want to have to get involved every time somebody who's never used that computer before suddenly wants to print on it.
how to install office from a terminal server onto a users PC?
If I am in terminal services and i click on setup.exe i get the error message:"The windows installer service could not be accessed.This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode, or if the Windows installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance."
Am having a sever problem with 1 users account on XP . It appears to have only afected 1 user account. The problem seams to have occured right after an update to adobe acrobat reader (coincidence maybe). Can not install any new software (error 82 says last file run is main .exe). Can`t update avast,ewido,ad-aware, or spybot from that users account. The other users accounts seams to work fine but find nothin on any of the scans other than AVG it says that the boot record ,system volume, and 3 of the ini files have changed and Ad-aware finds 11 items but when trying to remove them it locks. Hijack this can not be run on the affected user account as it says that it is not a valid picture file. Safe mode under the affected user account (administrator privlages) is no diferent. When trying to run chkdsk from a comand promt in safe mode it says that the system volume is in use by another aplication and have to scedual a scan on the next reboot. This finds nothing aswell. Repair was also tried from the Xp cd to no avail either. All of the online scans (Symantec , Panda soft, Trend Micro....etc) will not run on this account and find nothing on the other accounts.
Can I acces local client disk drives during a Remote Desktop Web connection and, if so, HOW? I run a WinXP client to access a Win 2003 Terminal Server through a Remote Desktop Web connection. I know this is possible through native Remote Dektop but can it be done over TSWeb?
To use this setting, type the fully qualified path and name of the file that stores the wallpaper image. You can type a local path, such as C:Windowswebwallpaperhome.jpg or a UNC path, such as \ServerShareCorp.jpg. If the specified file is not available when the user logs on, no wallpaper is displayed. Users cannot specify alternative wallpaper. You can also use this setting to specify that the wallpaper image be centered, tiled, or stretched. Users cannot change this specification.
Got a problem here with a classroom full of Windows XP Pro PCs, where if I put new shortcuts into All UsersDesktop, when a user logs on they can only see the shortcut as an unknown file type which does not run. Any existing shortcuts in All UsersDesktop work ok, just not any new ones!The PC's are on a Windows 2003 Server network (with AD) and have local user profiles.
What is the best way to share execution priviledges between limited users, power users, and administrators?Say an application has already been installed by a higher priviledged user type, and a limited user cannot execute it - e.g. an ISP login software, or Spy Sweeper. Note: ISP login software lacks profile, so I suppose I could just create that, however, Spy Sweeper is a head scratcher.Should the application be uninstalled and reinstall under All Users? How do you install an application to allow All Users to use it?I have already tried to use the "Run As" right-click Properties w/Shift key approach and that does not work.Is there an approach with regard to local security policy that would do what I want to do? How is that done? Or, is Access Control List the way to go?
I just formated my PC two nights ago and I am still trying to get all the updates done. However, when I try to update to Service Pack 3, I get an error halfway through that says "Acces Is Denied", and then it starts to undo everything the Service Pack was updating. I have tried downloading the service pack file from microsoft, rebooting and turning off all anti-virus. ect. I have seen methods that tell me to reset the registry and file permissions. Is this safe? And also, has anyone else had this problem and fixed it.
Under Windows 2000, when I reformat the computer, I add administrator user as a network user in the install process. Then, I go in and add local users to the computer. Later on when I want to add network users, it won't let me, the computer just hangs.
I've setup Windows 2003 fax services on a W2K3 server and shared the device. I've tested faxing from Word on my PC and it works fine.However, when other users try to install the fax client, the setup hangs asking for the fx* setup files. I've tried different XPSP2 CDs, copying the files to a local directory, making sure that the users have local admin rights (and even domain admin rights) but to no avail. The files are already in the system32 directory so in theory the setup doesn't even need to copy them. Even if I delete them, it doesn't work.Our corporate SMS team reckons that there isn't any policy which could cause the problem.
On our PC there are 3 accounts.The second account [my son's] has in the notification tray, the time and then underneath the time is the day of the week. Now, I can't find anywhere to enable/disable this in the date/time options window. One other thing...if I go to start menu>properties>choose classic start menu, then according to the pic there should be a blue margin on the side of the start menu saying: Windows XP. Well in the second account this is the case, but in my own account this blue margin isn't present. While I'm aware these are not extreme issues....it's just I like to know what is going on with things.
I've got a user accounts issue. Recently I noticed my main user account (the only one besides the default ones) has lost admin rights. I don't know why, but it could be because I changed its name recently, via userpasswords2. I didn't change it's account type though. Still, if I open up the user accounts panel, it now says it's a guest account.Now that wouldn't be much of an issue, if only the admin account wasn't disabled. And of course I can't enable it, because I don't have the rights. Safe mode didn't help either, and I can't do a system restore.
I have 2 Administrator accounts. How can I remove one of them? I tried control panel/user accounts while logged in as "Administrator", but it won't let me remove the other admin account.I am running WinXP Pro.
I was away of my PC for about a week, and when I came back I found out someone changed my admin password and made another limited account. My dad said some of my cousins were using my computer but I've asked them and they say they don't know anything.Right now with this account I'm limited to tons of stuff, I can't even download programs. Is there a way to retrieve my admin account?
i am trying to restrict users on winxp, but not able to do so. i would like to restrict logon hours, restrict ie usage (not only parental controls, but be able to let the user still be logged on but without internet), restrict downloading, and restrict install/uninstall programs, pretty much lock like in a corporate environment. it is 1 pc with 3 users.
I really hope that someone can help me, I can't seem to log on to my laptop. I am using an XP operating system on a toshiba laptop.
When my laptop boots up, I get the standard blue screen that tells me to log onto my user area but for some reason my user area has vanished, i.e. I have nothing to click on. I normally only have one user area and it does have a password but it is not there.
If I press Ctrl+Alt+Del a "log on to windows" bos appears with my user name already but it will not accept my password.
I have tried rebooting in safe mode but still no user administrator (or indeed my own) user area appeals for me to click on either.
With nothing to click on there appears no way for me to actually get into windows.
I downloaded the IE 7(beta) and I really do like it! But I have one problem with it.When I try to access other email accounts such as yahoo, a message comes up say "Not Optimized".Then it gives me the option to go back to IE6 or Yahoo browser or Netscape.I want to keep IE7.What can I do so that I may be able to access other email accounts with IE7?
Does anybody know the shortcut for the User Accounts, where you can change the properties for the accounts that goes into the Run Dialog Box so that you have more options e.g. power user etc. instead of the main options Administrator or limited account.
I'm using windows xp pro on a dell inspiron 6400, and I have two issues. One is that when I put a file in the recycle bin it is instantly deleted and can not be recovered. When i drag it to the recycle bin it asks if I am sure I want to delete it, I say yes and it is gone. However, I would like to be able to put things in the recycle bin and remove them later. My other issue is that I am not asked for a password when I turn the computer on, however when I lock the screen my password works there.
I'm basically the admin for a couple of computers my moms has at her business.I've installed log me in so i can log in remotely. Someone in her business keeps uninstalling them from all the computers. I cant make the accounts limited because the programs they use has to run with admin privileges. Is there a way to:1. Remove the accounts ability to install/uninstall programs.2. Remove the accounts ability to access the notification area in the task bar to kill background programs.3. Remove the accounts ability to access the task manager.
