Re: [JAWS-Users] Administrator of a computer
Hi I assume you are referring to the User Account Control dialog popping up when you want to change something. Well, I guess the theory is that any change can potentially be dangerous and could have bad results. So Windows wants to warn you about that. If you are an administrator, you can change the settings for when it pops up, or even turn it off. You would find the link for User Account Control settings in the User Accounts window. If you're just a regular user, you'll have to sweet talk the administrator, or just live with it and press alt+y when it pops up. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Tom Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2014 02:33 To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Administrator of a computer why does this pop up when changes are made in settings?

Hi Liuda, Go into control panel, then under user accounts. It should show what type of account you have.

It's there if someone wants to temporarily use your computer. You can turn it on and off at any time.

Does everyone have a Guest account in their User Accounts section? I Have something reading that says, Guest account off and there is a button to turn it off and on. Now, it is off, but is their a guest account already established in my computer and it happens to be off now or is the capability there to have a Guest account which is not necessarily installed now and that capability to use such a Guest account is off now? I am asking about a fine line bet2ween both of these options. I shall look forward to your thoughts on this topic. I did hear Liuda Administrator password protected which my computer is presently however.

It should show what type of account you have. To determine if the computer is in your name, you set this up when you set the computer, being in your name means you are the main user of the computer, I am not talking about who legally owns the computer. When you press on your account you can press on change user type.

A computer can have multiple identies that is shared by other people, so when you logged into your side of it, it's all your rights to whatever is there, you should be able to remove programs and etc, unless somehow the program in question you wish to remove is also admin to another user of your computer, then both parties have to log in and remove it or make changes. I'm not 100% sure about this, just guessing here, since a computer is different from like a checking account with 2 people on the same account and one can't make independent decisions without the other aware of it. - Original Message - From: Liuda balciu...@gmail.com To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Monday, February 17, 2014 2:55 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Administrator of a computer Okay fine.
