Help on making this batch file!!!

[maplealvon]

How do you make a batch file for vista home premium that makes other users into admins too? Dont worry about the priviledge of the executer coz my retarded comp turns all my other accs into limited everynow and then. Im using the default admin. I dont wanna reformat my pc coz i cbf doing it. I dont wanna system restore coz that does NOT work.

Thnx,
Alvon

We cannot help you make a Batch File to make another user an administrator.

Try a System Restore in Safe Mode

hmm then how do i change the accounts from limited to admin using the command prompt?

[BC_Programmer]

you can't. It would defeat the purpose of a "LIMITED" account. Unless you're doing it from another administrator account, in which case you can just use the provided GUI features.

im an admin but yeah, my control panel's stuffed (idk why). It just lags and closes if i try to open it.

will only work if you have the rights to modify other user accounts.

another option would be to run the command:

nusrmgr.cpl

which should open the User accounts control panel option.

Can't you do Netuser?

[maplealvon]

I dont understand it. Can anyone give me a step by step guide of changing an account from admin to limited using the command prompt? Pictures would be helpful.

This is where im stuck:

another option would be to run the command:

nusrmgr.cpl

which should open the User accounts control panel option.

[maplealvon]

i did say that my control panel doesnt work.
im trying net user *(username)
but how do i change it from there?

[BC_Programmer]

that isn't control panel.

[maplealvon]

nusrmgr.cpl is something i dont have on my pc coz mine's vista home premium. im missing a lot of stuff lols,
 all my old xp .msc(s) are gone too. it's sad.

[BC_Programmer]

Code: [Select]

RunDll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL nusrmgr.cpl

worked on my vista machine.

If you cannot system restore and your missing these control panel items making a batch file to workaround your inability to use control panel will get old quickly. Will your next thread be "batch file to change resolution"?

why not run

Code: [Select]

SFC /SCANNOW

which might fix your control panel.

We can not and will not help make you Administrator from a User Account. Period.

Why you may ask?

First, we don't know what the problem really is. For all we know, you could be some kid trying to gain access to the school computers.

Second of all, if we post the results here in this public forum, anyone can see it, including these kids.

Fine, here goes my explanation:
Problem - Control Panel got stuffed for no bloody reason and my accs change from lmt to adm automatically when i bootup.
I cant change my accounts coz i dont have the other dodgy apps in vista.
AND school networks dont work like that mate, it's on a lousy server coz i've seen one.

Sigh
