Thanks
I'll try "again"
I tried a few weeks ago, but it seems that the install-repair did not recognize the disk where to perform the installation.
And i did not go further, as the backup-restore within Windows did not work (and I wanted to take a backup before tryin the nstall)
Now, it seems that it works better and i bought some software to backup my complete disk (with 2 partitions) before attemting to "install-repair"
ould you habve an ida why the disk was not recognized ?

Ooops !
My post was sent before I completed it

So, that's the end

What I would like is :
   3 User Accounts
       Admin  (The standard Microsoft built-in Admin)
       Serge (With admministrator rights)  as the "normal" account I would use on a day to day basis
       SYF (with administrator rights, as a "backup in case of Serge's failure)

Right now, it seems that the  "good" "Serge Fleury"  account is associated with the "Propriétarie" profile where I have all informations collected during thzese last 3+ years

What woul be perfect ;-)
    Admin       account     associated with    Admin     profile
    Serge        account     associated with    Serge     profile   ***
    SYF           account     associated with    SYF        profile   ***

*** These account/ profiles should be able to access everything   "Propriétarie"   profile is doing today

May be it's a dream, but who know ?

Thanksngain   have a good day

Shane
Many thanks for your answer ... and your time
As i suspect that something went wrong in the User management of my Window system, I tried to have an "extensive" view of the situation

1) When I boot, I am prompted with 5 icons to choose from
They are (frpom left to right
   - Admin
   - Serge Fleury
   - Serge
   - Serge Fleury ****
   - SYF

*** Don't know why there is a second  "Serge Fleury"  ?
And to add the complexity, when I select this account, I'm prompted for a password... when I never defined an account with a password, as I am the only user of this computer

I booted all the other accounts one by one, and they all behave the same way : no access to some commands to manage User accounts

So, I used "reProfiler" (a utility I found on the Web) to see how users are associated with Profiles
I summarized all the information in the attached Excel Spreadsheet

I also extracte the "ProfileList" key from the Registry
I edited this file, to separate entries for each User and to add the ProfilePath in a "readable" way

I attach both file to this post

I belive that there is some mess in the User management

What I would like to have (in a "perfect" situation) is
    3 User Accounts

Hello again
Just found another "strange" thing : as I was "fooling around" in the User Account controls, I've seen the "Parental control" : I clicked on the link and found that I could create a new user account ! I clicked on the link and it seems that from there I could enter a user name for a new account !
I did not go further and I don't want to add trouble to something that's probably already messed up !!!!

Thanks very much

I just ran lusrmgr.msc  but it says thayt my Windows 7 is a "Family Premium" edition and thus this component can't be used. It suggests that I use "User Account" in "Control Panel", but this brings me back where I'm stuck : no way to create an account
I think I have an "Admin" account that should be the "standard" Microsoft admin account and the image associated with it appears and I can select it at boot time

In the "User Account" management in "Control" panel, some of the commands / links are preceded by a small icon representing a shiend (blue and yellow). Does this mean something ? I wonder if this means that I should have some special rights (admin ?) to use them and I wonder if I lost the administrator rights on my account ?

I'm sorry about my language, but english/american is not my native language ;-)

If I can't create an account with administrative rights through the Control panel interface, is there any other way do do it (for instance, by using a command ?) If the answer is "Yes", what command(s) should I use ?

Thaznks to everybody  Have a good day

Thanks
The problem is that I can't even rename my current user or create a new one 
I think some windows file are corrupted
I'll run aSFC /SCANNOW command to check
And I could have to "install-repair" Windows 
Have a good day

General Computer Support / Strange behaviour in Windows 7

« on: September 01, 2013, 06:34:43 am »

Hello
I have, for a few weeks now) some problems with my Windows 7 - 64 Bits
I solved some, but one important poblem remains :
I need to create new User Accounts, because some programs I need to use, don"t install because my current user name contains "foreign" character (I'm french and the company who built my computer gave the name "Propriétarie") and the "é" seems to be a troublemaker
So, when I go to >>Control panel >> User accounts, I can access :
- Create a password for your account
- Change my image
- Change the parameters (UAC)

But I CAN NOT
- Change my account name
- Change my account type
- Manage another account

I can click on these lines, but nothing happens

I can create user through the command       net user  Username /add
or  net administrators username /add
and they appear as selectable at boot time
I can also delete them through command line

I tried to use a utility called "ReProfiler" : it does not start on this system, when it runs perfectly on other systems

I ran  Chkdsk /F : no problem
I ran   Microsoft Malicious Program : no problem
I ran sfc /scannow : it seems to stop after 12% and indicates some problems

So, it seems that some parts of Windows 7 are corrupted

Any help will be welcome  _    Have a good day
