One loophole in using programs is that some administrators overlook setting rights on the USB ports. You can launch an executable from a USB stick drive if the USB rights are not restrictive enough. In doing this you are now able to potentially bring in proxy information and may be able to d/l info to your USB drive.

Find someone with a copy of XP older than six months, and use their key.\nMicrosoft Validation is rooting out illegal copies, so keep off their website...\nAlso try www.autopatcher.com

Your employer might have blocked it, unless he says it's okay to use it at work.\n\nHope that helps.

I can help you better if I know what version of Windows you are using. With Windows XP, make sure you are the Administrator: click start and click on your icon with your name at the top of the menu. When the change picture dialog appears, click on home (you should find it near the top of the program) choose your account and if it labels you as computer administrator, that should be set. If you are not the computer administrator adjust that setting, If you cannot, I suggest either re-imaging your hard drive or use ERD Commander to hack into the administrator account. \nIf you're already the administrator, maybe your Internet Explorer is out of date. Install the latest version for free from microsoft.com (this should help with Yahoo! toolbar).\nas for the other programs you need to give me more detail. IM or e-mail me at kennyh85@yahoo.com

You might want to double check with her that you don't have a limited account, assuming your running with Windows XP.  Ask her to take you into account management in your control panel and show the you have full access rights for the computer.\n\nHope that helps.

Either your account has admin rights, or it does not.  If this is a personal computer at the workplace, you will probably not have admin rights.\n\nThere is nothing to "put back".  Your account has to be set by an account admin to have admin rights.

Reall what corperation and what OS.  there are programs that you can change the password for the admin in 2k but won't work for xp and vise versa.

I assume you are using XP? \n\nIf so, you will need to have admin rights.\n\nWith admin rights open the Control Panel and click on User Accounts.\n\nFind the Account you wish to edit and change this account to a Limited Account. Then the person with this account will not be able to install programs or start/stop services. They will be able to use any program in the start menu though.\n\nIf you are having issues with IE you might try to upgrade depending on your version, or you can use FireFox. www.tryfirefox.com, I think that's the URL.\n\nhope that  helps\nRon

can't do it, unless you are an administrator

May be because you are not logged in a administrator.

If you are on XP, you simply (hah) need to "Set Program Access and Defaults"\nThe link to this may be in your start menu, your programs, or your accessories / system tools link.

if you are the administrator then you could be screwed on this and the answer is to reformat.   If you arent the administrator then you can  click on the question and get option to put in the administrator id and password or try booting from the windows xp disk.  You can sometimes get this to work if it is not the adminstrator account.  You can to www.bootdisk.com and find solutions.

Most corporations have the ability to monitor every letter you type on the keyboard and fully monitor your Internet access.  Unless you're PAID to be on your Yahoo account at work, do yourself a favor and don't do it.\n\nMost companies can use it as grounds for dismissal.  It's considered personal use of corporate equipment and time.\n\nI don't do anything at work that isn't specific for work.  You can save yourself alot of grief by just being smart.\n\nIf you were paying people, would you want to pay them for doing their own thing or would you get a little annoyed?  Think about it.

If you are using a domain as a login, set their membership as a guest.  By default, a domain user does not have administrative rights to the desktop.  By the way, make sure you have an administrator password on each xp machine or you can forget anything else you do.

Okay, first, to get the Yahoo Toolbar back:\n\n1. Right click on the Google Toolbar, a little menu should turn up\n2. On that menu, you should see the word Google with a tick next to it, click Google should remove the tip and hide that toolbar\n3. In the same menu, you should see the Yahoo toolbar, turn it on by clicking on it.\n\nTo your other question, in a word, No. The problem is that alot of software doesn't bother to support Windows user accounts, meaning that if one user installs it, everyone gets it. About all you could do is change the rights on your stepdaughter's account and take away her ability to install things at all, but I don't really think that's the kind of thing your after....\n\n(As a personal aside, I've found the Google toolbar alot more useful for websearches than the Yahoo one, so you may want to try it out. I haven't used the Yahoo one for a long time though, so it may be better now.)

You may not have administrative privileges on your computer. This will prevent you from installing this software. \n\n1) Try reinstalling your browser (Internet explorer, for instance). Or upgrade it.\n\n2) Change browser. I strongly suggest firefox ( http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ )
