Hi, just installed W7 Ultimate and made a mistake, I guess. During setup procedure I created the account "Jose" and customized the OS with this account, as I'm doing this for 20 years now.

I run Vista as non-administrator account. I just feel safer that way and I do not mind typing in administrator password when asked. Some applications fail to ask for administrator password and run fine but in a limited way. It takes me a while to figure that out that I am running it with limited privileges. I then have to save my work or document where I am and close the application. ...

When viewing the Group or User Names in the Security tab of Properties in any icon stored in the Public Desktop folder, 'Account Unknown(S-1-5-21-63554606-914774692-129410296-1000)' is displayed with a red question mark in addition to the 'head' icon. Also, there is no sign of the Users group, but for some reason the INTERACTIVE group is listed (which I'm not very clear about). SYSTEM is...

Hi, I've created an application that crashes with a Vista error message when it's installed in C:\Program Files(the default location). If I just copy the application folder into, say, C:\, it works. The application also works flawlessly in XP. I'm guessing this has something to do with the fact that Vista doesn't allow write access to C:\Program Files? How can I get the application to work? From...
