Want to change from Admin to User easily
Hi all, I usually run my PC as Administrator which I now know is dangerous, as it can let malware in and play with the system more easily. So I want to create a limited User account instead, but all my settings are under the Admin profile (eg. Quick Launch icons, file associations, and so on). Is there an easy way to migrate these to the User account, so that when I log in as User, my desktop is the same, icons are the same, etc? Thanks for any advice.

That means you must not be logged on the userprofile you are copying from or the userprofile that you are copying to. You need to use a 3rd "intermediary" account that does the copying. You should have an alternate admin-level account, anyway, and NEVER use the Administrator account (not even to install programs) except in emergencies. Create a second admin-level account and always use that one for your admin tasks. Use a 3rd account on which you login to copy the source userprofile to the target userprofile. However, for there to be a target userprofile means you must have logged in at least once to that new account. The userprofile doesn't get generated until you login the first time. After creating the limited account, log onto it. That creates its userprofile path and definition in the registry. Then logoff that limited account, log onto your alternate (but now primary) admin-level account and copy your old admin userprofile atop your *existing* limited userprofile. By the way, what is important is that you run the vulnerable programs (used as infection vectors into your host) under a LUA token. The LUA (limited user account) token reduces the privileges on the process to be the same as if you had logged under a limited account and ran that program. The web browser is probably the highest targeted infection vector into your host. You can still logon under your admin-level account but run the web browser under a LUA token to have all the same safety that you get when running that web browser while logged on under a limited account. So you don't have to give up using your admin-level account (which should still NOT be the Administrator account but a different admin-level account) just to have the safety of limited privileges on your web browser. While there are 3rd party software that lets you restrict a program to run under a LUA token, you can do that using SRPs (software restriction policies) already provided in Windows XP; however, it requires adding a "Basic" account under which to run a program which is not defined by default in Windows XP. If you want to use your admin-level account but protect yourself by limiting the privileges on your web browser, I can tell you how to do that using SRPs already available in Windows XP. Once you do it the first time, you'll see how easily it is to do for other programs, like for other web browsers that you install, a newsreader (NNTP client), or for your e-mail program. It is not required to log under a limited account to limit the privileges allowed for a program.

Thanks for your long answer (and to Pegasus, too!). :) Okay, it's late here now so I will add a new admin account tomorrow and try again. Hopefully it'll all work! Does it also mean that all apps installed will have their Registry settings copied across, too? Or is it literally just the basics like my "Documents and Settings" folder? I was kind of hoping I could copy everything and just boot up as Limited with all my apps still running, too. I fear not?

Or just for your own account? Can't remember now, but I think they were for all. A good point to remember for future installs, too! :) Anyway, I tried to copy the Administrator account to the Limited account by using a second temp Admin account, but it failed. Here's a screenshot of the error, which is to do with "failing to set security on the dest profile": http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/361/profileerror.png I tried the copy in Safe Mode, but it also fails in normal boot mode. I really don't know what to do next, except try the "Files and Settings Transfer Wizard"? Also, I found this web page... http://www.techiehq.net/system-security-and-infection-support/convert-admin-account-limited-account-4612.html (shortened URL = http://preview.tinyurl.com/2vp8d2h ) ....where the second tip says "What you can do is change your 'everday' account to the admin setting then switch your admin acount to limited (in that order)". How would I do that? I see no option that converts an Admin account to Limited.

You can probably resolve the issue like so: 1. Log on under an admin account. 2. Seize ownership of the "User" profile folder. 3. Set the permissions for the "User" profile folder to "Full access" for "Everyone". 4. Repeat the "copy" process.

There is no need to guess what the correct name of the profile folder is.
You can find out for sure like so:
1. Log on as User.
2. Start a Command Prompt.
3. Type this command:
set userprofile

3. Type this command:
set userprofile
set userprofile is a typo I think. Probably should be net userprofile.

The command set UserProfile will give you its current value. On the other hand, your proposed command "net userprofile" will fail.

Thanks for all the replies, but I've had no success after all. I did everything that I could (logged in as a new Admin in Safe Mode, took ownership of the old Admin's profile, and was even able to copy it over). But logging in under the Limited account was just like a new account, with no Quick Launch icons or fave settings carried over. It was such an ordeal that I'm over it. What I will do instead is a clean re-install of XP this weekend and set up the Limited "User" account from scratch this time!

How to change background color of dialog boxes at touch of a button
How can I change the background color of my dialog boxes (main dialog box & pop-up dialog boxes) of my MFC application program? I would like to change the background color according to the selection of radio buttons. Thanks in advance for help. Handle OnCtlColor(or WM_CTLCOLOR) in your dialog class. If you want to change it for all the dialogs of your app, take a look at CWinApp::SetDialogBkColor (This function is obsolete in MFC7 on though, should work for MFC42).

Do not want to synchronize CRM Contacts to Outlook Contacts
We do not want to synchronize CRM Contacts to Outlook when we go offline in the SFO client. We DO want to synchronize CRM Appointments so the Fast Sync is not an option. All the contacts were entered by the same user who has shared the contacts with everyone in the business unit. Is there any way to prevent synchronization of contacts to Outlook? Lynn you can only control what gets synched by using crm security roles. Basically if your users can see contacts in the crm web interface they will get synced to outlook. -- John O'Donnell Microsoft CRM MVP http://www.microsoft.com/...
