With the arrival of Windows 10, if we want our computer to be synchronized with the data in our Outlook account, we can make use of our Microsoft account. But in addition, also the image of our account will be used To personalize our user account, an image that will be displayed at the beginning of each session of our team.
If we regularly share our equipment with other family members, it is likely that at some point some of these users may change the image of our account. To avoid not only this configuration change, but also any other, we should create user accounts so that only the legitimate owner of that account can make the changes they want.
But if you create user accounts does not go through our head, we can choose to make some changes to the registry of our computer that will prevent any user from changing the image of our Windows 10 user account. First we must open the Windows registry, typing Regedit in Cortana's search box.
- Then we head up HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ PolicyManager \ default \ Settings \ AllowYourAccount
- Then we look for Value and click twice on it to change the configuration data.
Within the section, information of value, we must replace the 1 by the 0. From this moment, when we want to change the image of our user account, this will appear in gray and will not allow us to do it, until we change the value from 0 to 1 in the Value data box again.
As I have commented above, the best way to be with this type of unwanted changes by third parties iss create user accounts For all the people who make use of our equipment, they do not have access to certain aspects of the configuration that can cause a serious malfunction in our equipment.
