  1. Windows 7 User Accounts


    Good morning all, Hope someone can help with this. I seem to have the job of looking after the computers in our local church office. one of them has 4 or 5 separate user accounts for people doing different jobs. Up until now I have only upgrades my own (7) computers which all simply have 1 user. So; if this office computer is upgraded, will those 4 or 5 different user accounts still be visible (presumably on the lock screen)?

    I should also mention that as I am not a fan of the Windows 10 "tiles", all my machines have "Classic shell" installed so that everything still looks more like Windows 7.

    Any info/advice would be greatly appreciated; thanks.

    :)

    Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

    Unfortunately I had done those steps numerous reboots, it just, reappears for no good reason. The base account isn't even a Microsoft account, it's a local account.

    I haven't quite tried the built in administrator account on W10, but so far in my experience on my own computer, the built in account seemed to have absolutely no more control than I did on my own.

    It's just strange, I go in, it warns me twice about deleting the account, then it's gone. Reboot, and it's back?

    EDIT: Just to specify, both command line and Netplwiz both say only HIS account exists on the computer, it doesn't list this rogue account. This is what I meant in my first post about the fact that even Windows doesn't seem to believe it exists, HALF the time. *Frown Windows 7 User Accounts :(

    Remove account


    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.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:
      Code:
      net user test /del

    Custom Windows user account

    I need to create a user account (Windows 7) and have it limited to one website. I also don't want the user to have access to anything else like the start menu and desktop. I want the user to login then be taken directly to a specific website automatically. How would I go about doing this? I've been reading a lot about consoles, but I'm not sure where to start. Thanks
