If dad deletes my non admin one, when he creates the new one will it still have the files? if so how do I clear out the files from the admin account without deleting it?
If you delete the account, all the files will be deleted. IOW: Everything in the "My Documents" area.
Why are you getting a new profile? You can edit the existing one, you know.
[QUOTE=McNab;24446356]If you delete the account, all the files will be deleted. IOW: Everything in the "My Documents" area.[/QUOTE] everything I've ever downloaded as well? Also, I wanna delete it because it has some files that I can't delete because it doesn't have the uninstall log.
Everything on your desktop and my documents. if the things you've downloaded were under "shared documents" or in the program files of the C or D drives, it will not be deleted.
If it's XP, it asks you afaik when you delete the account what to do with all the old stuff.
[QUOTE=UnarmedSniper;24446495] Also, I wanna delete it because it has some files that I can't delete because it doesn't have the uninstall log.[/QUOTE] Won't help
[QUOTE=johan_sm;24446835]Won't help[/QUOTE] So how do I delete things without an uninstallation log? I'm pretty much fucked. But my dad is so retarded he doesn't wanna reformat
You just want to delete files, or uninstall a program? Booting from a Ubuntu live CD might help.
[QUOTE=UnarmedSniper;24446957]So how do I delete things without an uninstallation log? I'm pretty much fucked. But my dad is so retarded he doesn't wanna reformat[/QUOTE] Depends on what it is
this game called graal, Livestream pro caster. etc.
You could try using ccleaner and deleting the files yourself unless that will just leave the entries in the registry
[QUOTE=UnarmedSniper;24447094]this game called graal, Livestream pro caster. etc.[/QUOTE] Just find their folders and delete.
[QUOTE=UnarmedSniper;24446957]So how do I delete things without an uninstallation log? I'm pretty much fucked. But my dad is so retarded he doesn't wanna reformat[/QUOTE] delete the files, run ccleaner to fix the registry entries
[QUOTE=UnarmedSniper;24447094]this game called graal, Livestream pro caster. etc.[/QUOTE] Open up My Computer, go to your C:/ drive. Open up Program Files (or "Program Files (x86)" if it exists.). Look for "Graal" and delete the folder. AND YA DONE Oh, and run CCleaner to clean up the registry like others said.
already deleted the folders but the exes are around.
delete your windows folder. wait i mean the exe files**
I can't
[QUOTE=UnarmedSniper;24472145]I can't[/QUOTE] what Did you seriously try that?
He said the exe files. Derp.
[QUOTE=UnarmedSniper;24504711]He said the exe files. Derp.[/QUOTE] Whoa whoa!! Stop whatever you're doing! Obviously you and your father have a hard time making a regular/power user account become an admin. Here is some screenshots to help you along, so you don't make some dumb mistake and end up deleting system32. First, you need to be in an account that IS an administrator. (I would tell you how to bypass this.. but you know, that takes more effort) First, open up the start menu (XP: Start button, Vista/7: Windows orb in lower LEFT corner). RIGHT click on My computer/computer.

Now we're going to open Users & Groups, and goto groups [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/Zolofto/How%20to%20update%20account%20to%20different%20group/GoingtoGroupList.png[/img] It should look like this. Now double click on the [b]ADMINISTRATORS[/b] item. Now click on ADD and you'll get this screen [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/Zolofto/How%20to%20update%20account%20to%20different%20group/AddingUserBecauseImdumb.png[/img] Now add in your user name, and click on CHECK NAMES. When its been found, click on OK Then click on OK again Then close out of that screen. Log off, log back in. BOOM YOURE AN ADMINISTRATOR! Q:A [b]Hey asshole, I got XP. I don't have your fancy up to date operating system![/b] These instructions still work numb nuts. You just need to right click on MY COMPUTER thats in your fisher-price GUI. [b]Its not Fisher-Price, its LUNA[/b] Fuck you. [b]It can't find my naaame[/b] Enter it in correctly! If its Retard, dont spell it as reterd. Windows doesn't care for your dumb spelling. [b]Hey, im still not an admin[/b] Did you click on OK, and Not Cancel? [b]yes[/b] Restart the entire PC. [b]Still doesn't work[/b] Log in as that account you made an admin then, you clearly don't know what you're doing. Goto geek squad or your local overpriced tech shop that has your old chess team playing there. I hope you are on good terms with them. Thats all. Anymore questions or are we good?
