User Account Sharing Issues
Wow, what a frustrating day!
Well my problems started when I began setting up a multi-room Sonos audio system. The system is great but the software just would not let me add a shared folder to create the library. Whilst I was installing the software, it tried to do a couple of things to windows to enable the installation. E.g. Set sleep time to never and add it as an approved programme through the fire wall. Neither of these worked and I had to do them myself before the installation would carry on.
So I rang Sonos support who tried a few things and then we discovered that although I had administrator rights on that account I could not do quite a few things. For example if I go into control panel.user accounts I cannot add or remove a user account, I cannot change my user type or name etc etc When I click these links nothing happens.
It seems there is some kind of user account corruption going on. I created a new account & that works fine with both the Sonos software and I can also make the account changes I would expect. It seems a massive job though to transfer all my settings from one account to another.
Any clues as I am out of inspiration.
