How do I eliminate the welcome screen? by Jo
I seem to have seen an answer to this before, but can't find it now. The first few times I logged on ti=o Vista 5534, I went directly to the desktop, since I am the only user of the computer. However, now it stops at the welcome page and I must click on my user name before it will continue. How can I tell Vista to log on without this screen? Does anyone know why it would begin popping up...

Profiles by Scott Putney
After Installing Vista RC1 (build 5600), the local account that was created during the setup process creates a local profile on the machine at login, after joining to a domain, any domain account that is used to login creates a roaming profile. I am unable to change to a local profile. I have tried the following scenarios: Give admin rights to the domain account before first login logging...

Admin Accounts by [email protected]
Well lets just say that vista is getting annoying in this regard, presently i am testing the x64 version of Vista(RC1), and the account that you make @ installation should be the admin account right? wrong, you can view all the processes in teh task manager, u cant login in Safe Mode, but strangely i could make a new account, an admin account and from that I could do everything, was quite...

Clock in Welcome screen. by Just Bob
"Ian" wrote in message ... Yeah, that whole Vista Clock thing strikes me as a pointless gimmick. Especially when it's not a good clock design anyway, the hour and minute-hands are too similar, making it very easy to misread. The purpose of the clock in the sidebar is to help admins identify novices.

Activity Report by ThymeJ
How do you clear a Parental Control Activity Report. After reviewing the report, I don’t need the old dated info anymore. I would like to clear/delete the report to start fresh; how does one do this? ThymeJ

Standard & Admin accounts by Jerry West
When I open "Local Users and Groups" and view the groups I see a list that pretty much matches what is within XP. From what I have read there are only two types of groups for Vista, Standard & Admin. I expected to see a "Standard" group. I also read that the Power Users group, and I assume all other groups outside of Standard & Admin, have been eliminated. Yet, the Power Users groups is...

This policy is the new Vista policy on the domain controller and redirects to a common share that is used by all users (Xp SP2) - but when one...

trusted installer by Spirefm
I kept being told I needed a 'TrustedInstaller' when I tried to delete things etc. Suddenly the solution dawned on me. I created a new user with the name TrustedInstaller as an adminstrator. Now I can do all those things that were barred before. C'est la vie! Colin
