How do I change Administrator's Rules?

15 years ago

I'm trying to send an email with lots of pictures. My email program will not send the email, a pop-up tells me it's blocked by Administrator's Rules. I've searched for something that refers to large files, but can't find anything. Any ideas?

I'm using a Toshiba Satellite with Vista Home Premium OS. TIA

Sheila :)

Why don't you try zipping all the photos into one file

1 Right-click on the file (or folder) that you would like to zip.

2 Select:Send To -> Compressed (zipped) Folder
This is all you have to do in order to make Windows Vista to zip a file.

3 Look for the newly zipped file in the same location/folder that the original one is at.
4 If you would like to unzip a file, right-click it and then select Extract All. A dialog box will open - hit Enter if you want the file to be extracted at the same location or navigate to a new folder.

What email program are you using? Quite a few email programs place limits on the total size of attachments that can accompany a single message. If you are sending a lot of pictures, particularly ones that are right off your digital camera without reducing them in size, you could be easily bumping up against that. Unless the person on the other end actually needs the original size files (like there is a need to do some Photoshop work on them), you can easily reduce the file sizes substantially and they will look just as good displayed on the computer screen at the other end.

In my case, I use Hotmail, which has an attachment limit of 10MB total. A typical digital picture I take is usually about 2 MB or so in size, which means that I can only send about 4-5 of these pictures at a time. But I almost always reduce such photos to about 100-150 Kb each, which means that I can attach up to about 80 of them at a time.

that is part of the UAC which is an integral part of windows 7 it is that way for your own protection and removing it or altering it can risk opening you up to intrusions. Guided Help: Adjust User Account Control settings in Windows 7 I would caution changing these settings, I would not go below B. User Account Control as a linux user I am very familiar with these kinds of pop ups because in linux you are using the system as a limited user, anytime you need to do things that would affect the system it will pop up and ask for your user name and password to be able to access those types of changes. That is how windows 7 is now operating, this is a much safer method. This keeps someone from just sitting at your computer and making all kinds of changes and program additions which could be dangerous. Usually all you have to do is right click and choose run as administrator. as always a great place for any new windows 7 user is the 7 forums Configure Windows 7 UAC

"When a user account is created, a unique identifier is assigned to it that can never be changed. At the time the account is created, the account subtree name is bound to that ID. When you change the name of an existing account via Control Panel, Users, you map a new name to the same invariant ID. But by now, many applications will have cast their own data paths in stone, using the existing user account subtree name, so that cannot be renamed. So what you see is the new name when looking at the namespace level of abstraction - Control Panel, Users, or the Welcome screen, or other login contexts, and the general desktop UI - but when you drop to the raw file system, you see the old user name embedded in the account's storage path. If you drop down further, you don't see user names at all, only the raw ID that was assigned when the account was made. If you create an account with the same user name, as can happen in XP but may be prudently blocked in Vista, the reverse happens. You have what appears to be the same name, but a different unique ID is spawned, and a new account subtree is spawned that is bound to it. That's why the best way is to reinstall to change the name under C:\Documents and Settings\Username." http://www.vistax64.com/vista-account-administration/40379-change-folder-name-c-users-account_name.html

LEDs should last for a very long time. If it's stopped working I don't know if the LED would even be the first thing I'd suspect. I'd more likely look for cord/wiring breaks first, like if the neck got damaged in some way. ETA, from google: "Many LEDs have a rated life of up to 50,000 hours. This is approximately 50 times longer than a typical incandescent, 20-25 times longer than a typical halogen, and 8-10 times longer than a typical CFL. Used 12 hours a day, a 50,000 bulb will last more than 11 years." So yes, sometimes they fail, but that's a fault, not typical behavior. And may be the circuit/wiring in the bulb, not the LEDs themselves. I've seen some pretty poorly made cheap LED bulbs. I'd expect Ikea to do better than that though.

Here is an example of a regular photo where I reduced the file size from about 2 MB down to 73 KB, a factor of about 25. You can see it is still sharp and decent size.

Irfanview makes it very easy to reduce the size of photos with quality similar to K9's example. Before I changed to the 3G network I use to have to reduce all my sending photos for DUN use. They were all under 100kb. I still will do it today if the email package requires it.

I nearly always reduce the size of mine before sending because I know I hate getting pictures that are so huge they will not fit on my computer screen.
