User Accounts

I did now open folder on my computer (using this new account that seems to be
problem with .exe files). In one of the folder windows I did rightclick and
did make "New Text Document" (that is in notepat) and the windows did make
this document. Another think is that I can open that document and edit and
save, without any problem. But I still cannot click on "start" button and
select notepad from the programs there because then I will get this popup
windows telling me that
"Windows cannot open this file:
File: Notepad.exe
To open this file, Windows need to know what program you want to use to open
it. Windows can go online to look it up autoatically, or you can manually
select from a list of program that are installed on your computer.
What do you want to do?
Use the Web service to find the correct program
Select a program from a list of installed programs"

I have tested som few other programs and I am not able to open them from the
start menu, but if I find a file on my hard drife (using the same program as
I was trying to open from start menu) I can open these files from my hard
drive. ??
If I select my documets for this username I will have lot of empty folders
there (for exsamble the desctop folder that is emty, but the real desktop on
the screen is not empty). I can copy files from my hardisk and paste them in
one of these folder and I can open documents and files from there too. But I
am still not able to open these same programs (that I using to open these
files), direct from the start menu.
I have tryed to find these programs in the program folders and I am not able
to open these programs (the .exe files) but I am able to open files that are
using these same programs and then these programs opens like normal.
It is confusing.

Hi Kjarri

With all respect, if your system is as messed up as the spelling in
your post it's no wonder you're having problems.

What language have you got installed? English or your own?

May I suggest you try and keep your message/post short and to the point
otherwise you may not receive the amount of assistance you need.

Best of luck Kjarri and I hope you're children get to use your computer
soon!

Kind Regards

Neil

When I first purchased my computer last year, I set up a user account for me
and for my husband. I would to only have 1 account for both of us. If I
delete my account, a message says it will save all files, pics, etc. to a
folder, but it cannot save email messages. I use yahoo mail. Will it delete
all of my email?

Is there a way I can combine my account with my husband's account? Any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, your Yahoo messages are saved online on their server. So, they should
be fine if you delete your account.

When I change to Administrator from Standard User and then click on 'change
account type' i default back to standard user.
I cannot install,uninstall,restore or use acer recovery or access other
activities.
I am the sole user of the pc and i have always had full access without a
password, this is now being asked for and i do not have one
Can this situation be recovered without reinstalling Vista home edition 32
bit?

Have you made sure you're logged in as local administrator, before changing
account type?

Do all users have to share the same desktop icons? We both share laptop but
have completley different needs..must we see each others on our personal
desktop page ?

Hi itsjustmepati,

No they don't. Each user sees what is on their own individual desktop AND
what is on the Public Desktop. The icons in question have probably been
installed on the Public Desktop, which enables them to be seen by all users
on theirs. All you need to do is to move them from the Public Desktop to the
desktop(s) of the required user(s). They can then be deleted from the Public
Desktop and will no longer appear on the desktop other than the one(s) that
you place it on. This can also be used the
other way round, to allow all users access to a program that only places its
icons on a single user's desktop. See below for details of the location of
the desktop folders. All of this assumes, of course, that you each have an
individual user account.

Path to Public Desktop:

C:\Users\Public\Public Desktop

Path to User's Desktop (<UserName> is the name of the user) :

C:\Users\<UserName>\Desktop
