How To Fool Program Into Working For Limited Users In Pro
Aug 19, 2005
I recently installed a US Robotics 56K(V92) Faxmodem in my brother's computer after his old one was fried during a storm. After installing it and making sure the "modem-on-hold" feature worked right I then proceeded to test it in his children's limited user accounts to make sure they can get on the net also. Now, while his children were also able to log onto the net, the modem on hold program (which until now was quite impressive) will only work for users logged on as administrators.
This fact was verified by one of USR's support technicians who informed me that they had no immediate plans to change it so it would work in limited accounts. Now this is a problem because he and his children all spend a lot of time on the net, and until his name comes up on the broadband waiting list, a modem is all they have between them and the net......
Limited account users from running certain programs in xp ?
I have 2 desktops and 2 laptops at home.
I use one of the desktops,kids other
I have installed a game on my pc, and I know if the kids realise it is there, I will not be able to get on my PC. I dont want to stop them using the pc, as they often need it for homework etc. But if they find out they can play this game on there.
This seems simple, but I am the only admin on our computer w/ 3 kids on limited access. How can I give them access on programs that I have (like Call of Duty) on my user account?
When I turn on my computer I don't get the usual blue log on screen with all the users, I get some lame pop up with just one use and the only other option is so shut the computer down. When I go to user accounts, the only user that comes up is my dads, which is a limited account, so I can not do much of anything on this computer. All my options (user logg off, restart, shut down) All in old looking popups, and not the usual.
Issue 1 : I have bought the current hard disk one month back due to failure of the previous one. Both are of Seagate. My PC stuck up suddenly while working with the noise from hard disk ( clicking noise ) When I restarts the PC the PC stops booting after the BIOS screen with the error messages like "unable to load OS" or "disk not found". If I remove and replace the hard disk connection, it works normally. But, the PC stuck up after 1 day or after few hours. I have performed the hard disk self tests with Seatools software from Seagate.
I am the administrator of several computers, all using WinXP Prof. After installing a program as an administrator, how can I make this program accessible by "limited user" accounts. I am able to use the program when I log in as "administrator" but not when I log in as "limited user". I don't see the icon on the desk top nor in the list of "All Programs".
Several weeks ago a window popped up on the screen when I booted the computer. It informed me that information for the registry had been recovered using a log or a file. I presume something happened in the registry. What or how I do not know as I don't fool around in there. Is there anything I need to do or check? How can I be rid of the little window from Windows with the information?
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 have windows 2000 edition and I want to remove a program from the add and remove but it just says it installing it and it wont give me the uninstall part of it how can I remove the contents of the program or fix the program.
I had WINDVD Creator installed on my system , XP Pro SP2. I had a problem( not related) so I did a fresh install. When I tried to put WIN DVD back in, I get the message, "This is not a Qualified machine". I went to their website and downloaded a trial version and it worked fine. I deleted the trial version and tried My Software install disc and got the same, This is not a qualified machine notice
A couple of programs have stopped working on my PC i.e they don't launch when I select them from the START menu.Help & Support does not launch at all - I have searched the web and tried numerous fixes none of which work.Paint Shop Pro 9 does not launch at all but an entry does appear in the Task Manager list of processes.Nothing adverse is listed in Event Viewer and I have tried rebooting into XP Pro with minimal services started.For what it's worth both programs do work in Safe Mode.
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 am having intermittent, but annoying system problems. I was working this through a previous thread, which stopped getting responses. That thread was located at http://forums.techguy.org/windows-nt...tem-crack.html The symptoms include: Microsoft Outlook, refusing to open, giving an error message that it requires the windows installer program. Additionally, Firefox intermittently refuses to open, giving memory errors. The CA True Vector program shuts down.What I have done to date: Ran checkdisc, which did not indicate any problems. Uninstalled and reinstalled the CA suite.
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.
In a school environment students must use a "limited account" under windows xp. There may be as many as 15 different "limited accounts" on the same machine (# of students). Each student has his/her own account. In the admin account bluetooth works the way it should. I cannot get bluetooth to work in these limited accounts. Is there a way to "share" the bluetooth properties/settings with all of these limited accounts?
I am running Windows XP Home Edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 2. Recently I downloaded a registry cleaner off the net. Everything seemed to be going well until one of my children tried to log into their account and Windows hung up. We get the welcome screen and then finally their background, but that's it. No menu bar, icons, nothing. I have their accounts set as "limited", but as soon as I gave them administrator rights, they worked fine.
I currently only have Internet access through AOL on a broadband connection. For non-AOl Internet requests (simple example, when I install a program and try to register it - or even for when Media player 11 tries to go to the internet to get album info when I play CDs), how can I route my requests through AOL? Even with AOL sined on and the web working in the browser pane of AOL Openride, I can't get IE to work beyond the Sonicwall firewall though the AOL browser does (except, for instance, requets to view My eBay, for instance). I have Pc-Cillin security and Windows XP Media Center on a Dell Inspiron 1501 with AMD x2 CPU, 1GB RAM, 80Gb HDD, etc.I'm guessing the answer lies in RRAS or a third-party product. I can handle technical answers though the les outside references the better (time is hard to come by for everyone :)) Happy New Year to all!
im trying to help my brother out with his computer. It used to be our family computer and when my dad gave it to my brother he deleted all users except my brother. Unfortunately my brother is a limited user and is unable to many things on the computer. Is there like a default administrator password? He is using windows XP home.When I restart the computer it has a log in screen where you type in a username and password, not the traditional windows xp login screen.
I have verified that all updates available to Windows XP, have been installed I am attempting to create a Limited access account on a computer Unfortunately when I create the account, it still has access to some administrative features that it shouldn't.

I have a pc thats running XP home edition and I have set it up so that I am the admin and my two young children have limited user accounts, however when I set the kids accounts to limited the internet connection is cut off but if I put them back to admin all is fine! any ideas what I can do?
I'm able to run MSCONFIG just fine as administrator,but I can't run it as limited user.The message is "An access denied error was returned while attempting to change a service. You may need to log on using an administrator account".But I'm pretty sure I've previously run MSCONFIG as limited user. Is my memory wrong, or is something wrong?
I just installed (clean) XP Pro and set up some user accounts.I'm familiar with Win2K and thought that XP would be similar with regard to user accounts, but it appears that's not true.When I go to user accounts, I only see limited user and administrator accounts.How can I set someone to power user or in between admin and user?
Even though I made a limited account it still has access to my hard drives, is there a way I can prevent a limited access account from accessing programs and files I want to keep secure?
