Cap on Windows 7 User Accounts?

[Omgoozle]

My computer is having issues adding more than 110 user accounts to my Windows 7 machine.

When I go into Control Panel, I click user accounts and I get the timer icon, then no response.


I had this issue last week at 105 accounts, but then this week I was able to add 5 more, but I can't access the add/remove user accounts page to fix the issue or make any changes to any of the accounts.

Anyone else having this problem?

Woah 110 UA, you should really consider using VMware, can manage all your accounts from one user account. Message me if you need help setting it up

yes vmware is much better than all those user accounts.

VMware is very slow to change from one account to another, right?


What is the direct free download link for VM? thanks.

Really should consider reading post about portable Firefox it has saved my life. You can create folders and run a portable firefox that only saves cookie data inside its appropriate folder. Process of creating accts has become 10x faster.

[easy.bake.oven]

search for 'netcplwiz.exe' on your pc and double click it.

you can add and remove windows users from there.

if u delete a user from there, you must also delete the actual user folder as it will not do it auto from netcplwiz.exe

There is another discussion post that is underway about this process not being completely 100% free of linking...trying to find the post myself...

I had a bunch of accounts linked and the only thing they had in common was using Firefox Portable. I havent used it again since, didnt want to risk it. Ips were always different and tracked, some never even sold on. Every firefox portable account shut down, none of my others were.

so what is the best option now?

Flash disabled on all firefox portable instances?

I still prefer using different user accounts but 110 on a machine could be too heavy - maybe invest in another machine to split?

I make my machines supercomputers because I'm a speed freak. It'd be quite pricey to do it 2x.

Was going to say - you need to be disabling Flash Cookies in Global Settings from day one so that this doesn't happen.

Precisely. I prefer to go into the Add-Ons settings of Firefox Portable and disable flash altogether.

I have a 'Template' folder set up, with the .exe extension altered to .exe_ so that I can't accidently open the browser and change any of my templated settings. Part of my creation process is to copy that Template, assign a new identity and then correct the .exe extension so that I can actually open the browser.

Note that the Template (obvioulsy) has no history, cookies, etc of any kind and has all settings adjusted to my liking.

one way to make FF portable work is to only access them through the guest account

not sure if windows has the same setup a mac, but when you leave the guest user, all temporary internet files/settings go along with it

for my mac, I have the guest user customized to my liking with all my favorite settings, finder folders, homepages, etc. After accessing or creating any account, I restart the computer which wipes everything, but leaves cookies in the FF mobile app.

not one problem since

I forget who, but someone on here recently was talking about having more than 500, most of which were in dormancy while aging.

There are more than a few members with more than 100.

500+. The ones I'm talking about are just my "actives"

The number is growing daily.
