I have the experience that the network account doesn't have to be an
Admin account, so maybe we could rename it to Arnold instead :-)


Yes, the admin vs. standard isn't necessary, but I like to recommend it
for a common account across all networked pcs since I've found that many
folks may need that admin account for a variety of tasks (cleaning
malware from their usual and only other admin account, creation of other
accounts in 8x, a quick route to another admin rather than explaining
how to access the full admin account, etc.

Yes, Arnold would be fine (over the years I've used a few common
usernames across multiple machines (e.g. Juno and Isis).

If I were guessing or just being curious...were you thinking Arnold
Ziffel (i.e. Green Acres) when you suggested it ?

I just went through that with a win7 machine

The credentials are the user name and password
and a blank field for password is not acceptable

I take it you are addressing #3? Since BCGA is a Win 8.1 machine and I
have both a Microsoft account and a local account, which do I use?
Oh...probably the one I use when I sit at it and log in, right? (It's
been a foggy day today!!)

Thanks.




Yes, your regular log-in account

It seems to be an obscure reference to a Mad TV skit from about 2008 where

More like Arnold Schwarzenegger - I live in California :-)

I was just searching for a common name that I hoped wouldn't insult
anyone I knew, though, come to think of it now, I do have a friend named
Arnie.

OK - I had actually assumed that Winston meant that surely Jesus would
be qualified to be Administrator. I am not 100% acculturated to this
country in which I have lived my entire life :-)

I had a visit a week or so ago from two Jehovah's Witnesses, who tell me
that to them, Jesus is not a god, but God's appointed King of the World.
(I doubt that I got that quite right, but it should be close to what
they said.)

That makes sense to me, although when I need to do that I wake up the
real Administrator account and switch users to there.

But I presume I'm not your target audience - what you recommend is
simpler...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isis

"Isis is a goddess from the polytheistic pantheon of Egypt"

She even gets an honorary listing in the Agricultural Goddess section.

The things I missed in school. Agricultural Goddess ?
I guess this is something you bolt to the dashboard
on your ox cart.

It was sort of that...if Joe, Don, and Looney are users across three
machines not networking as desired then Jesus may bring a bit more to
the table.

It's been a while since the JW's have visited my house. Ever since I put
that 2ft wide dogfood bowl 1/4 full of Purina with 'KILLER' stenciled
in 2" red letters at the end of the walkway near the steps leading to
the door no one ever knocks. Even FedEx, UPS, and USPS leave packages
by the side garage door. And I don't even have a dog!

Out of context. You provided the 'capital letter' reference, not I.

Since Isis was believed to be the ideal mother, wife and goddess of
wisdom, who better than her to be in charge of a common Windows admin
account across multiple pcs.
Whenever I've needed her she's always been there...so she must be doing
her job.

In the wardroom of the ship I was on, the rule was not to discuss
religion, politics, sex, or work.

As you can imagine, we had little to say to each other :-)
