    How do I set a local user to default to a specific network?


    At my business, I have multiple networks. One I use for unfettered access to the entire network and another I use for internet access only. I would like a local user on my desktop to default to the internet access WIFI network, while the my admin account defaults to the unfettered LAN network. I tried disabling the LAN in the adapter settings on one account but when I signed out, it carried over the network settings to the other account and vise versa. I know I am basically describing a domain controller but I'm wondering if there is a quick an easy way for a small business to set this up without having to set up a domain controller.

    Thanks!

    :)

  2. Setting "Everyone" in File Sharing to Work with Specific Users

    I tried post #9 instructions and could not make them work. I am quoting them below for the convenience of anyone following the thread:
    Below is what I did to test the share access. The No. 1 settings granted everyone access. The No. 2 settings granted no user access, including the user on the "white list.":

  3. Unable to set default browser

    • Does this issue happens while you try to set other browser as default too or is it specific to specific browser?

    Any browser.

    Already did the steps you suggested. It's some kind of bug where it's impossible to set a default browser at all.

    I heard elsewhere from one other user
    that it seems to be a problem with upgrading to 10 on the SP3. Sounds very specifc.

    Give access to specific apps for Local User

    @dalchina, thanks for the suggestion.

    I tried your blanket option, and that didn't work.

    I filtered per your suggestion:

    However, it seems there are no settings for that filter:
