View 7 Replies View RelatedSome of our systems got their default mail client reset to Outlook Express.Most of our users use Outlook, with a few using Thunderbird.It seems that only an Administrator can reset their default mail client through Internet Options.I came across article from Microsoft that says that only an Admin can change this after an admin sets it.I find if very hard to believe that our users cannot set their own default mail client after an admin sets it once. Does anyone know how to reset this so users can select their default clients

View 5 Replies View RelatedI've got a question regarding my windows xp home edition machine. I've got a couple of user accounts on the machine. One is my own administrator account, called my name. I've also got a Guest account and another account called Games. My account has a password but none of the others do. In addition to these there is this mysterious "Administrator account" on my machine. When I try to log in as "Administrator" it won't let me. It tells me that I don't have proper access or something like that. What really bothers me is when I go to C:/Documents and Setting/All Users I cannot open the Documents folder. It says it's not accessible and "access is denied." I have trouble installing stuff sometimes because nothing can access this folder (and there could be others I'm not sure). Is the Administrator account the problem?

Would like to make use of all the following options:
- unable for non-administrators to turn on the computer between 10PM and 6AM.
- unable for non-administrators to access internet.
- non-adminstrators able to access internet but not Instant Messenger.
My "Users" screen is up, but we can't click on any of the Users to open them up. Can't click on "Turn off computer" either. We have to use the power button to shut down, but that doesn't help anything.Tried running a bunch of spyware scans in safe mode, but doesn't seem to be helping.

If I click on yes or no, in regard to showing all users, I still can't get to the window that shows the programs running. I don't know how this happened, but I did install a new external hard drive. How can I get my task manager back to the normal viewing that I am used to?

View 7 Replies View RelatedTo 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.

View 6 Replies View RelatedWhat 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?

View 3 Replies View Relatedmy brother in law runs xp. he asked me to help with the following problem but ive never seen anything like it. all of the shortcuts on his desktop have changed from having an icon and a link appropriate to the shortcut, eg IE explorer, Word, Skpe etc, to an icon for Kodak Easyshare. when you click on any of the icons the shortcut takes you to Kodak Easyshare. You can still access the programs by going to All programs and clicking on the program, you just cant acess them from the desktop. If you go to All Programs, select a program and right click to create a shortcut, it creates a Kodak EasyShare icon which when clicked takes you to Kodak again. Can't figure this out.
