user access

I have Windows 7 in my office. We have Windows domain. I have created several drive mappings to shared drives. They used to work. Now, whenever I reboot my PC, they have red x on them. I can click them and reactivate them but when I shutdown and power backup or restart...they go red x...

Hi All.. Sorry about sort of double posting however this is a more defined question on what to do. I hope it's ok :-) I have a group of people who are using a remote desktop program and all their actions must be logged at a central storage. That's no problem however my users should not be...

Win7 is driving me nuts. I just tried to link Audacity to the lame_enc.dll mp3 encoder, but it couldn't find it in c:\windows\system32, where it was (according to xplorer2) and where it was supposed to be. I had to move it to another folder before the link would happen. I'm the only one who has...

Hi, I just installed winbubble 2.0.3.7 on my system with Win 7 Ult. 64 bit. The install went without a problem. I checked the box to force login name and password. On reboot all login names and passwords do not work. I do have a tri boot system with XP S3, and Win 7 32, which currently...

This morning, while attempting to move some files around my Windows 7 64bit laptop began telling me that I didn't have permission to do so, as I needed permission from the "TrustedInstaller". I googled this issue and resolved it by configuring permissions. Feeling a little suspicious I decided...

I'm not sure whether I'm being constantly attacked or my computer caught a virus. Whilst being online at a known network, my system got 'hacked' (unsure about the use of words as it was by someone i knew) and apparently created an image of my hard drive (which I was trying to stop during the...

Win7-64 HP OEM on a new desktop at my home and used -only- by myself ... Win7 and I are new to each other. I've heard that it is a good idea to run a user account in my circumstance and avoid using the Admin account for the most part. That's what I've trying to do, and it is a sizable...

I have an Admin account and a Guest account. I've worked out how to share folders (not just by using the "Libraries > Public" section) -- I right click a folder, go so Share With > Advanced Sharing > Security > go to Users section > select Full Control. That way both accounts can play and save...

I've used this site for good advice, esp by Kari to whom I send hopes for speedy recovery. I'm trying to enable multiple users to access programs via XP mode, through Win7 64-bit computer (Win7 Professional). Using Admin Profile, when trying to open Win XP mode within All Programs from Start...

Hi all... I'm not "that" dumb in networking but not an expert either andI'm having trouble with a 4 desktops workgroup in Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. I'm not using the Win7 workgroup functionality but rather trying to share the folders I want using properties/sharing. I've posted this question...

I'm a programmer and I'm trying to create an app or shortcut that runs a user as an already logged on user (switch users), but also leaves the application running on the privileged users desktop? I cannot use a service, it's out of the question as this is a 3rd party app, and no I don't want to...

It seems no matter what I do, Windows 7, obviously my superior, won't let me. I wrote an app in VB6 for a client. It writes data to text files and creates pdf files. If it runs on Windows 7 (and apparently Vista), it throws a 'file/path access error' and won't complete the job. This is a...

Hi all! So I just reinstalled windows 7 professional 64bit on a computer that had previously been running the same product perfectly fine. However, this time, every time I login I immediately see the message "User name or password is incorrect". After hitting ok to this message I get to...
