  1. How to make so that one admin user doesn't see the files of another admin on Windows 10?


    I have a main user administrator account, I've created a different account for my friend, so they could use the PC when I'm away. They can't access the apps passwords, but they still see the apps and can delete them in ease and they'll be removed in my account too, as well as see other files that I add/modify using my main account.


    I don't want them to see my apps and files. Is it possible to "assign" a certain amount of memory from the drive just for them, so they won't access anything in my side of the PC, using the same operating system?


    Please, if it's not possible, at least give me an example of how to properly use Windows 10 accounts and manage users' privacy and memory.

    :)

    admin rights keep disappearing!?!!

    Hi guys,

    I am actually having a problem at work that our IT department hasn't been able to figure out. I am supposed to be a member of the admin group. We are on a domain. The problem is that everytime I reboot the computer I loose my admin rights(no longer in the administrator group) and just become a normal user again. I have tried googling this and didn't get to many results.
    I believe IT is just giving me local admin rights, not admin rights for the whole domain.

    Any suggestions?

    EDIT: It is on Windows XP Pro.

    System Admin Shenanigans?

    No problem chief its pretty simple to do but usually a multi stage process.

    Create an admin account using the control panel.

    Then log out and log into the new admin account so windows builds it.

    Then log back out and log into the super admin account your currently on.

    go into your user directory and copy all of your primary user folders copy everything [CTRL+A] and copy them via right click and copy.

    then go into your NEW user account and paste and allow overwrite of all the folders and files.

    after it is done log into the new account and make sure everything is working correctly. if it is go to your super admin user account folder and delete all of your private data pictures documents etc.

    then open up a command prompt as administrator and type the following

    net user Administrator /active:no

    and hit enter.
