Under User Account control panel (windows vista home premium version) there are two choices that are for some reason disabled - *Configure advanced user profile properties *and *Change my enviornment variable*. I am the account administrator, and not logged onto a limited account. I also have a second issue that may or may not be related. When I right click a folder, then go to properties, then...

My new laptop failed to reboot after the local IT guy unsuccessfully tried to install a printer driver. I had a Microsoft agent reinstall Windows Vista. He also managed to save my data, but now the computer refers to everything as Noname. I renamed the user account, but that didn't change the profile name. I added a new administrator account to get around the problem of not being able to...

I am unable to restore files backed-up via Backup and Restore Center, "Backup Files". I backed up all possible files from my old Vista installation (not knowing it wouldn't include executables--there goes all my archived setup files for purchases programs, but that's another story) to an external USB hard drive. The files were verified at backup. I was able to restore these files to a new...

Hi all I’m having a problem with the Parental Controls in Vista blocking all websites on my kids accounts. Every time they try to go to a website (such as www.amazon.com), IE7 or FF wait for ages and then comes back with a standard Parental Control Blocked screen; but with “rating service unavailable� as the reason for the block. What is going on?

I have Vista Premium on my kids' PC, and everything has been fine for 6 months+. Suddenly yesterday, around the time that the SP1 update got installed, my kids (who have standard user accounts) can't log in anymore. From the login page, they see the "Welcome" page, which immediately goes to the "Logging off" page, and then back to the login page. I searched for this, and found another thread...

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). The problem is: when I run Visual Source Safe, it doesn't inherit my group privileges and therefore cannot access the database. I am looking into runas.exe. That would accomplish...

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.

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.
