In this post, I will go over what UAC does, how it works, the reasoning behind it, how to use your computer with UAC on, why you shouldn't turn UAC off, and answer some common questions and respond to common...

I'm not sure if I understand the steps entirely with this option... 1) Install PsTools (which includes PsLoggedon) from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896649.aspx 2) In cmd, key in all that that you entered... @echo off "c:\RestrictedFolder\psloggedon.exe" | find /i "xxx" || goto :eof shutdown.exe /s /f /t 3 Where "xxx" is?

So far, all replies have referred either to internet-specific hour restrictions via making changes on the router or links and suggestions on searching through a search engine or forum. 1) I am interested in restricting full computer access on a per user or per group basis; not just internet and not on a per computer or house-wide basis. 2) Searching the internet was tried before coming here...

After logon, I only see an empty destop, and I can access the task manager by CTRL-ALT_DEL. I could run a sfc/scannow, which went fine but no improvements. I am sure my profile is corrupted but I am not able to access control panel to create a new one. Everything is loaded correctly in processes list. Where can I find a procedure to solve this issue? thx alot

I'm not sure where to post this, so have posted it a few places. As a parent, I would like my children to not be able to use the computers during certain hours of the night.

This is my husbands laptop so I wanted to make myself a username but I cant. The Windows Updater does the same thing. Flashes like its trying to open, but never does. Im at my wits end here! HELP!

About 3-4 months ago, I purchased a laptop with Windows Vista as operating system. From time to time, I receive automatic updates from Windows. For the last updates I allowed, in order for the new updates to be installed, I needed to restart my computer. I did so, and then I was asked to enter my admn passord, which I know of very well. And that is where the problem is. I keep on receiving...

Hi, I had bought a new Laptop: -make Lenovo. One Administrator account and one Guest account. I am unable to login the Administrator account. Any way to reset the same.

Suddenly, wheever I try to install anything, I get as far as the step where shortcuts are created and the installer informs me it doesn't have permission to continue. It says it can't access the folder where the shortcuts go. Hitting retry repeatedly doesn't change anything, so my only option it to cancel. R-Clicking and running as administrator doesn't help. Taking ownership of the Users...

I'm quite savy at computers but this is tricky. My mom has me set on parental controls for Windows Vista. She gave me her password and I turned them out, logged off and then logged back on to my account. Then, when I turned off the computer and she turned it back on the next day, her password didn't work. She's called people and apparently, I changed the password without knowing I did. Here's...
