Windows 10: Need Access to User Account

Hello Everyone --

Okay...this is long and convoluted, but maybe someone out there knows a solution. My apologies for the length of this post.

A few days ago, Explorer began refeshing over and over on User "Acct A." In the beginning it was about every 7-10 seconds. It is now down to about 5 seconds IF I don't attempt to do anything. So attempting any further solution while logged into "Acct A" has become pretty much impossible. Prior to this, I landed on a site that listed several things known [to create the issue?], and tried some of the solutions.

Some alleviated the problem by uninstalling programs (like Silverlight, or anti-virus); some by changing certain settings or permissions; some by running SFC and DISM scans. I was able to finally get to the list of Startup items, and even disabled everything. Nothing worked though, until I tried the one thing that I could not wrap my head around - creating another user account. While I was unable to actually create another one (because of the constant refreshing), I DID already have one that I created some months back (that's another story...LOL). I logged into that account and wouldn't ya know... Explorer was doing just fine and dandy. So I am assuming at this point, that whatever has Explorer acting stupid on "Acct A," is contained in that account, and does not or will not affect "Acct B."

Now, one would think that since I have regained the use of my computer, I should be happy. I would be except for one thing - I have two cheatsheets of usernames and passwords on Acct A that I cannot get to from Acct B. I NEED those cheatsheets. I cannot get logged into ANYthing 'cause I create passwords that only someone with a photographic memory could remember! I had to create a new TenForums account just for this issue, and lucky enough to have a table with one of my email addresses linked to it. I would like to have my browser bookmarks and my email client too...but I can start over with my bookmarks, and I can get to my email via the Gmail and Yahoo webistes, and re-set up the popping of my email to Thunderbird. But I NEED those spreadsheets! To possibly exacerbate this issue, those spreadsheets are locked into a program called "Protected Folder."

I can go into the "Protected Folder" program folder and launch the program from there. I can even log into the program and see those spreadsheets listed, but I cannot unlock and open them - not from Acct B.

So, is there a way, to gain access to EVERYthing in Acct A, from Acct B? In other words, can it be fixed so that no matter which user account I log into, I would have all the same access to everything with all the same settings, preferences, etc.?

Thanks

User accounts in VB2005 from MS Access

Access has a list of words not to use as column names, but if you must, you'll need to use brackets in your sql statement. I'm unsure of the list of words, but the line of code appears valid. Try using this:

Dim sqlString As String = "INSERT INTO USERS ([USERNAME], [PASSWORD]) VALUES ('" & usernameString & "', '" & passwordString & "')"

Perhaps its password that's causing the issue.

You could also try renaming the columns within the access database. I ran into this issue when I used the word time as a column name.

 

Need to restrict user access

Hi,

I suggest you to create guest account. Guest account is designed for users who require temporary access to a computer and don’t need to store their user-specific profile settings permanently. Users who log on as a guest have
a very limited set of permissions. For example, they cannot access other users’ files or perform system wide tasks such as installing software or hardware.

For security reasons, the built-in Guest account is disabled by default. This prevents users from having an option to log on to the system as Guest.

Files on the root of C: are available to the guest account in order to allow it to run properly, but files in the "Users" folder are not unless someone gave the guest user folder permissions.

To enable the guest account I would suggest you to try the following steps.

a. Type This PC in the search bar.

b. Right-click This PC , and then click Manage.

c. Click Local Users and Groups.

d. Click Users.

f. Right-click the Guest account, choose Properties.

g. On the General tab, select Account is Enabled.

h. Click Ok.

Hope this information is helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.

I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
To delete an account, follow these steps:

1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
