Install program in Safe Mode Network with SYSTEM being real Dicktator
Can I please get some clarification on this? I’m having a similar issue but don’t want to make any changes to the registry wo being oostuve. I’ll start by saying I am NOT an IT PROFESSIONAL in any capacity but have been dealing with a number of issues over the past few weeks. That being said I know enough ugh about the field to bring to this impasse. Please, though don’t assume that I understand all of the intracacies of tech language. I’ll explain the situation to the best of my understanding. OS: Win7 home premium sp1 having severe issues with UAC. Their are two logon users. User 1 “ME” is the admin, user 2”seth” is the account that WAS the admin but is now just a user. only 1 person uses the laptop now. Currently the laptop is only accessible (as of 8/19/18 7pm cst) by ME: in safe mode, safe +cmd, safe+network BUT DOES BOT HAVE CANNOT SEE OR ACCESS through traditional method, the true C:\ (its as if it’s just not there and only contains superficial folders). User 2 or “seth” can logon to the same as ME except the C:\ IS the correct one and most folders are accessible, also I have successfully (Only once)booted normally AFTER running repair and then safemode first then to normal, but since freezes on normal boot and can only force shutdown or ctrl alt Del back to safe. I’ve run several diags, antimal, antiviral, which all came clear as far as HW, and most major SW. there were several “critical” and “severe” alerts in the log system event log. After several trials and failures I’ve managed to discover what the actual issue is, or so I have best concluded through reading page after page of threads and tech forums, posting questions of my own on TechNet conversing with multiple professionals. Please let me know if this doesn’t seem to be who ever reads this’ finding! This laptop was once a work laptop hooked to a corporate network but was then gifted to me by my brother in law, when I received it it was a mess so I did the usual disk clean up and changed the computer name, and changed the profile name to my own and removed several unwanted files and folders. No problem. Only, it turns out User “seth” was actually the default admin and that I changed the name unknowingly throwing off the ownership and permissions on a few things. Over the course of the next year weird things kept happening like having to approve myself even though I was logged on as admin ME, or being denied access as Seth but the folders opening anyway. Tried getting rid of seth through several methods but he just wouldn’t go away. Long story short, currently now the two can’t communicate properly with each other because the two parts of a whole have been split and admin ME has essentially been banished to safe mode(s) boot only. And Seth even though can access email internet and a few things can only boot safemode(s) also...whew.
Bringing me here, I’ve tried all the regular SYSTEM bypass methods and none have worked I still receive UAC prompts as seth and my adminME pass still works but most of the admin menus just don’t open after the prompt goes away. Be tried disabling UAC through regedit and cmd, nothing...I need files folders off this laptop and refuse to give up until I get them. Once retrieved I plan to use hirensboot USB key to clean install BUT first I have to dL malbyte and a few other anti programs on the affected laptop to clean it up so that their aren’t any issues booting from the usb...but as you know I can’t install in safe mode especially with thesis STRICT UAC bs enabled (tried enabling through menus...no good) but am hoping the that someone out there in the vast Internet forums universe can help but need some guidance and clarity on the matter. Anything will help at this point...
Thanks &
10000 wizards wishes upon the one who can solve my dilemma!

choose computer, menu that appears will have all your drives listed. If your USB is big enough you can copy and paste files, folders, etc to that or another USB flash or to DVD (4.7 GB max) or external hard drive, whichever you choose.
