security issues

My sister put a password on my Wii U, and the only way to get a master key so I can reclaim it is via email. The only problem is, when she changed my pin, she also replaced my email with hers. I can access her email if I log on to her old desktop on my computer, where she has her email password...

There is a BIG bug in UAC password prompts and "Run as Administrator"!!! Accessing files/folders Well, first problem is accessing other users' files/folders! Until recently I had only one Administrator User, but I created a Standard User for safer daily use. I have all my documents in the...

Hi, I encrypted the "C:\users\" directory in Windows 7 and then found that I had a problem logging in as another users. This is probably becuase it could not access the files within there as the other user was not allowed. So I now know that I should have only encypted the folder in "users"...

By Joe Wilcox, Betanews The other night, I got quite the shock. A good friend, who is a Windows enthusiast and IT administrator/consultant, informed me that he had dumped Windows 7 for Ubuntu. I didn't see that coming. For one, he's a Windows fan. For another, I would rate Windows 7 as nearly...

On my Win7 Pro 64 bit I have somehow picked up a ghost account. The splash screen and the account manager show the same three accounts: Administrator, [me] & Guest. But the Task Manager and other tools shows that "mishmash" is the user and [me] never is. This causes some obvious issues in...

I must say, I'm easy when it comes to operating systems. I was lucky enough to get into the Windows Vista, and subsequently, Windows 7, Beta testing. I therefore had the advantage of not having to dig to deep into my pocket to examine the OS’s. Although my preference is Windows in all...

Yo. So I had a trial of norton 360 installed on a computer with the windows 7 RC, and once the subscription ran out and I found that I hated norton 360, I uninstalled it. I THINK this is when my HDD became totally locked, because next time I rebooted I noticed I was denied access to the drive...

Verzeiht, wenn ich das hier in Deutsch schreibe, aber Englich ist es mit nicht möglich. Ich möchte nur gerne meinen Groll bezüglich der Bevormundung des Users durch W7 ausdrücken. Abgesehen davon, dass nach jedem Neustart immer wieder für jedes Programm die Abfrage kommt, ob ich...

I was wondering what others have experinced with this. The first time I ran it under Win 7 7127, it found 78 System Optimisations, and 6350 Security Defense isuses;!! Even if half of them are false positievs, that is unbeleiveable! :eek:

I am trying to access my files in my windows XP drive and its prompting me that I need Admin rights (on my XP computer called djchad-mac). I tried typing in my credentials and so far no luck because windows 7 cannot find the other OS. I tried setting up a share and giving everyone access to the...
