How do I get Permission ......... PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!

[Valorie *~~]

How do I get permission to do what I want on my new W-7 computer? I'm the
admin and can't get permission to do anything. I want full control so I can
do as I please. The helpfiles are so technical I can't understand how it's
done. Can someone PLEASE explain it in plain English how the Admin on this
system gets full control.

If you can't even understand the help files, you probably don't know
enough about computers to stop yourself from ruining it. The
protections are there to help protect your from shooting yourself in
the foot. Even so, you should be able to do just about anything you
want, you just have to endure an "Are you sure?" comfirmation dialog
box. There's not much that you are prevented from doing if you're
classed as an Adminstrator,

But if you're determined to take the risk, turn off UAC (User Account
Control). Look it up in the help file or do a Google search.

For starters, maybe say what it is you wish to do because there is no
blanket "do this" answer to cover everything. And as another poster pointed
out, if you can't understand any of the help files than maybe you should
have administrative rights...

That said, who wants to bet some of your confusion is the "Access Denied"
message you are getting for going into some things that look like folders
(and were folder in XP) but are really junction points?

Right. I am not a technician or software writer as you must be. Why would
I, or the average PC user, understand some of that technical terminology?

Try intsalling WindowsMail for example on W-7 64-bit. See how far you get
moving files as the Admin.

But if you're determined to take the risk, turn off UAC (User Account
Control). Look it up in the help file or do a Google search.

That's the wrong information for W-7/SP2 64-bit HomePremium. There is no
choice there to turn it off.

You can logon with this account and have full-rights as admin. You
should use it only when the admin account Windows 7 gives you out of the
box can't do what you need, because it's not a full admin rights account.

I am going to be honest with you. You have wasted your money buying the
laptop. I'll never buy another laptop if I can help it. I'll only buy
one for professional usage for programming MS business solutions.

And here is why, I'll never buy another laptop.

http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/droid-incredible-specs-confirmed-on-verizon-site/

I am here to tell you that the smartphone is fabulous. It can do
everything that the laptop can do with the software on the laptop. I am
walking around with a laptop in my pocket with the smartphone. I can
work with MS Word, Excel, and Power Point files etc, etc. I can work
with tiff, pdf you name it and you can install an application for free
or that is pennies on the dollar and just as powerful as those setting
on the laptop for just about anything.

This smartphone knows when there are software updates from vendors, and
it will update programs automatically or you can manually do the install
yourself. It knows when there is a new release of the O/S and update
itself too.

I have email connections to Gmail and Earthlink , and I am sure I can do
WLM on the Droid if I wanted to. You got a spell-checker that will step
in with creating and editing a Word document. It has a browser and I can
connect HTTP or HTTPS as needed with a site. It will even tell you if
the site's HTTPS certificate has expired.

Most of the smartphone plans give you unlimited Internet access. This
phone can act as a wireless hot spot where I can connect wirelessly
with a laptop or desktop computer to the phone to access the Internet,
which supports 5 wireless connections. I am connected with my laptop to
the phone right now and writing this post. There is a limitation on how
much can be downloaded to the phone when using the phone has a wireless
hotspot. But normal Internet access through the phone is unlimited.

The smartphone is the best investment I have ever made, it's easy to
use, and I am admin with the applications and SD (smart disk) on the
phone, which is easy to connect to a computer via USB and transfer
files, like with my Vista laptop. The phone even back-ups its data like
contacts and other data on a scheduled basis to Google (the cloud).

Everything you can do on that laptop from a personal usage standpoint,
you can do on the phone. It's lightening fast with program execution and
Internet access speed. It can multitask too, like you're working with a
Word document, you get an incoming phone call or need to make an out
going phone call and continue to work with the Word document at the same
time.

The phone is fabulous and easy to use, a little laptop in your pocket.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_Market

http://www.quickoffice.com/quickoffice_connect_suite_android/

The phone has 5 desktops you can drag short-cuts and bookmarks to, to
launch programs or go to the Internet, answer the phone and whatever.

It's the best investment I have made in sometime.

I'll change that: That's the wrong information for W-7 64-bit HomePremium.

There is no such thing as W-7/SP2 64-bit. There is not even, as of yet,
SP1 for Windows 7, other than the beta.

You're right. SP2 is the Vista machine.

Junction points? They look just like folders and contain program and other
files?

The laptop is a few years old. No problems with it so far.

Hey, that's why you're using Linux, you're broke and I can't spare a
dime so don't ask.

Hey dumbass, what OS do you think Android is based on? You must be broke too!

 

[Big Steel 99 the X factor]

Spain is not a third world country and 14.6% of the USA lives in
poverty. The USA has the highest per capita prison population in the
world. 55 million people in the USA have no health coverage (Spain has
100% coverage). The USA is third in the barbaric practice of the death
penalty. The USA asshole bankers with Bush's, the asshole "president",
blessings caused the worse economic downturn since the last one the USA
caused, the Great Depression. I have five computers and two of them are
new laptops with Windows 7. I have two cell phones but have no need for
a smartphone. I like my monitors big and when I go out, I don't want to
take computing with me.


You wish you could make as much as I do. The reason I use Linux has
nothing to do with money.

You are an idiot, and you're 3rd world no matter if you lived on the moon.

 

[Big Steel 99 the X factor]

Hey dumbass, what OS do you think Android is based on? You must be broke too!

That would be your God Damn mama's O/S you cock-sucker. And you clown, I
am far from broke. I don't care if Android is based on Linux God Damn it
or not. Verizon which I have used for many years as my wireless phone
provider and Google hooked-up, and I am going to use what Verizon has to
offer as a product, and the Droid Incredible HTC is the best it has to
offer at this time. So what God Damn it if it's Linux? So what?

Linux doesn't mean jack-shit at the desktop or the server world, other
than Web servers. But the whole world doesn't run on Web servers and MS
is king. MS will continue to put those long $$$$$$$$$ in my pockets too
as a .Net programmer, you clown.

And the bullshit talk about Vista being passed over and Windows 7 not
being deployed in corporations and no one is leaving XP, as explained in
COLA land, is total bullshit.

I am contracting in a company that has Vista, Vista Business my .Net
software development machine, and Win 7 is being deployed throughout the
company. XP is going out the door, and Linux is nowhere to be found at
the desktop or servers, which I suspect it is now starting to happen in
a lot of corporations. <grin>

When the laptop does go or turns into a door-stop, go get a smartphone.

Wow, such a tirade over the obvious, you love your smart phone, but hate
Linux, so really you should hate your smart phone that uses Linux so
WELL, and dump it for a phone that uses an MS OS badly, right? Get over
it, you know damn well now that Linux has its place and works
beautifully under MANY applications from a smart phone to the desktop to
super computers. STFU and get over it. You use it, you like it, and it
just works. It's a beautiful thing and you know it first hand now, you
have NO valid argument according to your assessment of your smart phone
that uses LINUX. You ARE a Linux user! LOL

G'day

 

[Big Steel 99 the X factor]

Smartphones have replaced laptops in one aspect: more smartphones are
stolen.

You're an idiot. I have no time for an idiot like you. I have to get
ready to go to work and make some $$$$$$ today using .NET, while you
make-believe you have a job somewhere, again you need to be fired for
not doing your job. No one is stealing anything. They may punk you out
and steal from you but not me.

And besides, that's why the have insurance on the phone, whereas, it
will be replaced after the $50. I have lost a phone, and had it replaced
-- big-deal.

Oh and just because a small company isn't going to use Linux for servers
or desktops, dosen't mean Linux is insignificant. It only means an
insignificant windroid company refuses to use a powerful OS, and most
likely is getting spifs from MS to use their inferior product. Whatever,
I couldn't care less, do what makes you feel good, but don't cry when
you are left in the dust.

Junction points? They look just like folders and contain program and
other files?

Certain folder no longer exist in Vista and Windows 7. But older (legacy)
applications may be hard coded to use them (like a program incorrectly
hardcoded to go to C:\Documents and Settings\username instead of the proper
%USERPROFILE%). So we have Junction Points to help those older programs
along. You see an entry in the root of C: for "Documents and Settings" but
it's not really a folder. There is nothing inside. It is juts a pointer for
an older program.

Is that the trouble you are having and not specifically stating?

 

[Gene E. Bloch]

That's the wrong information for W-7/SP2 64-bit HomePremium. There is no
choice there to turn it off.

Control Panel > Change User Account Control Settings

It's at the top, in the section labelled "Action Center".

If you somehow manage to get there, you can click on the highlighted
sentence "Tell me more about User Account Control settings".

PLEASE........

Get a reasonable book on W7 and *read* it. It is your responsibility to
learn these things.

A thousand words of plain English is not necessarily the right way to
describe something that has a useful technical term to name it. Spend
some time with that book and learn the terminology.

Would you like me to say to you, if you're driving a car and about to
hit something, "Look for that flat pedal on the floor - I mean the wider
one on the left - and put your right foot on it and press hard",
or would you like me to say "Hit the brakes"?

 

[Nil]

Right. I am not a technician or software writer as you must be.
Why would I, or the average PC user, understand some of that
technical terminology?

What "technical terminology"?

Some things can only be explained or described by using the correct
terms. If you don't understand them, you'd best leave it alone or find
someone more knowledgeable than you. If you prefer to root around by
yourself under the hood without understanding what you're doing, then
you need to take responsibility for your own actions as quite whining.

Try intsalling WindowsMail for example on W-7 64-bit. See how far
you get moving files as the Admin.

Windows Mail cannot be "installed" on any flavor of Windows 7. It's not
intended to be used on that platform, and there is no install program
for it.

You can try to copy things from one computer, but that's not an
official installation that's supported by Microsoft. You're on your
own, and if your hacking doesn't work, tough luck. People have been
able to finagle it, though - I suspect you just haven't followed their
directions.

That's the wrong information for W-7/SP2 64-bit HomePremium. There
is no choice there to turn it off.

Yes, there is. Or, there would be if there were such a thing as "W-
7/SP2 64-bit HomePremium".
