Well, not actually missing because you can find them if drill down enough: but in some user accounts the my documents folder ('User's Documents') is not immediately visible under 'my computer' whereas in some it is. I would like all users to have a view of their 'my documents' folder.Also, the administrator can see these folders, but sometimes they are called 'User's Documents' and sometimes, just 'User'!

View 5 Replies View RelatedI was not able to restore the system back to a previous state, nor was I able to back-up my documents, so I was forced to reinstall Windows XP Professional version 2002 and all of my other applications. A new Active Directory was created, giving me new user accounts, even though I used the same user names that had been created under the old installation. Under one of the old user accounts, I had a folder that was password protected, and it contained several important documents. Since the new Active Directory does not recognize that old user folder, I can not gain access to the folder to retrieve the files, even when logged on as the administrator. I get an error message that reads: Documents and Settings My Documents is not accessible.

I'm going to create 30+ user accounts. They will be all running at the same time, running the same program. (the only way I've figured out how to dual-boot the same program) and I was wondering... Is there anyway to make it somehow use less resources doing so? Like, so far I've gone into Advanced > Performance and killed the switch on everything. I was just wondering, after days of running non-stop, it is bound to start eating up RAM or even cache to much, right? If so, what can I do to stretch the time this happens in? What else can I switch off/disable for each user to eat up less resources?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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.
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.

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.
