Solve : Windows 7 security? |
|
Answer» Hi, I recently moved from Xp to win 7 32bit home premium. Because I missed the move to vista first I found win7 a little daunting at first, but I now believe it is definately a move upwards from xp, and it flies on my newly built machine. 2 things I hate about 7 is the UAC which ive disabled, I READ it is better than vista, god that must have been awful. The SECOND thing I want some help with is how to make my user account which is supposed to have admin priveliges have full access to EVERYTHING on my computer. An example is if I want to view some pictures in irfanview it gives an error saying I dont have admin priveliges. To me that is a red rag to a bull, its my machine, I want it do do what I want and when I want it. I have looke at folder properties and security and it says that everyone has full access. Sorry but my question is: IS there a way to give my account full control over everything, in other words no security for anybody who uses this machine. Anybody using this machine does so with my consent and as such are fully trusted. Can I turn security off somehow? An example is if I want to view some pictures in irfanview it gives an error saying I dont have admin privileges.I don't know how you've set up your computer and installed your software but I have IrfanView installed with Win 7 and I get no error message when I open it; I get no message at all. So, your system seems to be working in an abnormal way.

The subinacl tool will make sure all pertinent registry hives & keys have proper ownership REGISTRATION. Quote from: Allan on May 06, 2010, 09:37:56 AM Not really.

Thanks Allan I read with interest on the subinacl link that a lot of ANGST seems to occur when using homegroup, makes me curious because I have this win7 machine networked with about half a dozen xp machines which I couldnt do with homegroup, I just simply configured the network as per the older xp machines. I will report back after ive TRIED subinacl, I would do it now but wish to do complete backup before I do. I have previously tried to do a system restore but it failed due to an error with a win file? What i did notice is the subinacl msi is written for win 2000 and xp??? you may now be seatedYeah, don't worry about it. It runs just fine one W7. Same registry structure. |
