I don't want my account locked when my computer comes out of sleep mode. I want it to go right back to my desktop (I am the sole user). I have found that when I go to Power Options, Require a password on wakeup, it is always set to Don't require a password no matter what. I can toggle that to Require a password and back and my account will not lock on wakeup. But a few days later it...

Forgetting your Windows administrator login password. With no way to get into the system, you can’t even perform basic maintenance, let alone a thorough tune-up. Formatting is always an option, but we consider that a last resort. (Plus, guess who’s going to have to help reinstall all the programs lost after a wipe?) But all hope is not lost. There are a few ways to actually retrieve a...

I have just started to try making use of Vista's ability to set permissions on network shares and can't quite do what I would like to - I'd be grateful for any help. I am trying to share folders on my home network in a particular way but am not sure whether it is possible to do what I wish? I have a Vista Home Premium computer with 3 folders that I want to share, the Public folder and two...

The following post gives details on activating and deactivating the built-in main Administrator account in Vista. Please note that I recommend that you only activate and use this account if you have problems which cannot be solved by using your other accounts and that when you have finished using it you should deactivate it again. Please also note that this method works for activating the...

When the welcome screen appears, my user account is no longer there. I log on to another account and can see that all 80gb of my user files are still there (C:\users\), but I cannot gain access to them. My other account was password protected, so I am sure this is the reason it won't let me access these files. Is there a way I can access these files or restore my ability to log onto the...

I login with a non-privileged domain account and need to elevate to an account that has admin privileges on the domain and locally. I know it is possible because that is how my current computer...

The other comp (no password protection on second comp) is fine. My second...
