| | duplicate users Hello, I've installed Vista Home Premium. I've added a second account (administrator), in order to change the first user account type from administrator to standard user. Now I have 4 users instead of two - duplicates, it seems, but does someone here know if a user remained both administrator and standard user ? Anyway, after 1 user added and 1 account type changed, 2 users seem to be just enough, but 4 ! Which user should I delete, because this situation is really stupid ? Thank you anyway. |

| | Re: duplicate users There is no full (root) Administrator in Vista unless it is enabled. All users are setup as Standard Administrators or Limited Users. I would recommend keeping the initial account you first started using Vista and delete ones you created after the Standard User account. -- Andre Blog: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com My Vista Quickstart Guide: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com/blog...3DB!9709.entry "Communikator" <mename@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:OX0rINgEIHA.1316@xxxxxx Quote: > Hello, > I've installed Vista Home Premium.

| | Re: duplicate users Communikator The problem when user accounts are duplicated on the login screen has been reported several times here. It appears to be an issue common with a system that has a Fingerprint Reader and the OmniPass software installed. You need to contact the system manufacturer or the makers of OmniPass to get the fix. -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User "Communikator" <mename@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:OX0rINgEIHA.1316@xxxxxx Quote: > Hello, > I've installed Vista Home Premium.

| | Re: duplicate users Thank you for guidance. Indeed, this happens on a Fujitsu Siemens laptop, which has both a fingerprint reader and OmniPass software. And so it has come to pass that I'll joyfully lengthen my way through the Vista Stupidities' Lane. Thank you again, good luck with your own Vistas.
