Hi, I'm running Vista Ultimate 64. I am trying to leverage some of the power of group permissions by setting up a directory that only a certain group can modify (for a Visual Source Safe code repository).

I changed the original administrator user account. However, there are still references on a command line, some folders and in Remote Desktop of the former user name. I already modified the registered owner in the registry by modifying HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\RegisteredOwner. What else do I need to do to rid myself of this old user?

I cant remove or uninstall programs. It says you need to log in as an administrator but I am already an administrator and my hard drive is almost full because of too many programs that I don't use. How do I fix this problem?

I had my VIsta Home Premium system freeze on me about a week ago so I had no choice but to switch off to reboot. So far so good, everything seemed fine. Then I got some very unexpected results from a piece of trading software and have discovered that: a) I can't access User Account Control and many other admin tasks b) activating the hidden admin account hasn't helped - I am still

Hi For some reason my kids' accounts can no longer access the internet, where previously the parental controls on their accounts would allow access. Nothing has changed about the accounts. Web restictions are (and always have been) listed as medium. To make matters worse IE just says "Internet Explorer cannot display the web page" When I turn parental controls off, they can connect fine.
