Outlook 2007 now requires administrator password to open

I have been using office 2007 since 2007 and this has never occurred. Now when I open Outlook, as a Standard User it asks for my Administrator Password. When I am logged on to my other account which has Administrator privileges and a password, Outlook
opens right up and the User Account dialog doesn't appear. This doesn't happen when I open Word; it is specific to Outlook.
I don't know how this happened and I don't know how to correct it.
When I am logged in as the Standard User:
Under Properties, Shortcut tab, Advanced,  Run as Administrator is grayed out and not checked.
In the Compatibility Tab, in the Privilege Level section, Run this program as an administrator
IS CHECKED but grayed out. But when I click on
Change settings for all users in the Compatibility tab (I am asked for my Admin password) I see that the
Run as Administrator box is unchecked there (not grayed out). I have tried checking it, clicking on Apply and then unchecking it and clicking on apply again but the checked, Grayed out box in the Privilege Level section remains
checked.
In the Security Tab, Everyone, SYSTEM, Administrators, and both my Standard User and Administrator account have all privileges. I have tried changing the Owner from the Administrator account to the Standard User Account and back again with no effect.
When I am logged in as the user with Administrative Privileges:
As I said, Outlook opens right up without the User Account dialog appearing (no password security check).
In Properties, under the Compatibility Tab, in the Privilege Level section,
Run this program as an administrator
IS NOT CHECKED.
Does anyone know how to fix this? There must be a way to either change this in Policies or while logged in as Administrator. The box in the Standard User account needs to be "un-grayed" so that it can be unchecked.

  • Outlook 2007 Clients Prompt For Password When Opening

    I am running Exchange 2007 Standard.  New outlook 07 clients prompt for password each time it is opened.  Older clients do not prompt for password.  Is there any way for outlook 07 to not prompt for password?  Users already logged into domain, should their credentials not be recognized automatically like with outlook 03?

    This fixed it for me.

    I was having the same issue. SBS2008, Exchange 2007. Only being prompted in Outlook 2007 clients. Tried a lot of different things to fix it, but none worked. This started happening after a round of security updates but I could not find KB2412171 on the list.

    You saved it after setting the Password? :

  • Since upgrading to Mavericks my Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro requires administrative password on every launch--whats with that?

    Since upgrading to Mavericks my Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro requires administrative password on every launch which seems like an unnecessary step.  Does anyone know why this is happening and what can be done to eliminate this?

    Download and run the combo updater to refresh your files.
    OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 (Update (Combo)

    Open Disk Utility and run Repair Permissions
    You might need to remove and reinstall Acrobat. Be sure you are in an admin account when installing.

  • How do I require a password to open an existing document?

    In Word Perfect I could "lock" a document by requiring a password to open the document.  How can I do this in Pages?

    Be aware this is for .pages documents only, it will not work for exported Word/pdf docs.

  • How does the backup file that I would like to use for restore now require a password

    How does the backup file that I would like to use for restore now require a password, when I just Backed it up on 10/30/14

    It requires a password to restore from it because at some point, you checked the box in iTunes to use encrypted backups, at which point you were prompted for, and set a password.
    If you now can't remember what that was, then you can not restore from that backup.

  • Airport Failing to require Administrator Password when Turning on/off?

    I was using Lion a ways back but became nervous about its security when I discovered it was failing to require Administrator Password for this simple setting. 
    See 'System Settings-->Network-->Airport-->Advanded.'  On the Airport tab, towards the bottom there is a section that states "Require Administrator Password to:"  with a checkbox at the bottom for "Turn Airport on or off." 
    This setting fails to do anything.
    Has anyone else experienced this?  Is it still a problem?
    I took my MBP into the Apple Store in Georgetown, Washington DC and a few guys at the store were able to verify this problem both on my MBP and on one store model....  I would like to try Lion again but I'm wondering if it is still a problem?

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • Deleting files requires administration password?

    I'm not sure what settings I've messed around with to get to this point however, any time I now want to delete files it not only requires my administrator password but it bypasses the trash bin and just fully deletes them off of my laptop. It was just a minor annoyance at first, but then I realized as I was deleting mass amounts of music from iTunes that clicking "move to trash" on the files did nothing, the files are still in my music folder and now I have to manually delete and enter my password on the files. It's also stopped uninstalling things due to this issue with the recycle bin. I've checked the safe trash bin/etc checkboxes and toggled them on and off but no go it's still the same issue. Does anyone have any ideas what I might have done to cause this?

    Back up all data.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags nouchg,nouappnd {} + -exec chown $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -N {} + -type d -exec chmod +x {} + 2>&-
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
               ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • Outlook 2007 Rules and Alerts won't open

    User complained of receiving duplicate emails after adjusting rules.  I chose to open "Rules and Alerts" from Tools on the tool bar.  When opening  "Rules and Alerts" a box flashes on the screen and I am unable to view any of the Rules. 
    I am able to create a new profile and then open the rules.  I attempted the outlook /cleanrules command, I was still unable open rules. (It is a Windows 7 OS).  Any ideas,  if I need to use a new profile what is the best way to move all of the
    other outlook info without moving the problem?

    I am not sure if this issue is has been resolved but here is the fix. I have been having the same problems for a couple months now until today when I decided to fix it.
    When you mentioned OWA that got me thinking because outlook rules are workstation standalone (it will apply if the system and outlook is running) the issue is with OWA. If you have ever modify your rules in OWA you will have the problem.
    FIX:
    Log onto OWA and go to the options settings.
    Go to Rules and try deleting a rule. It should say something like several rules error or something.
    LEAVE OWA running and open Outlook.EXE (pretty much just open outlook), preferably, on the computer you set the rules in the first place if you still have it. If not, it is ok.
    On your Desktop Outlook, click on Rules and  your pop-up should remain up. Delete the olds rules, yes, all of it.
    Refresh OWA to make sure all rules have been deleted. If they have, great. If not, repeat the steps again - Log out of OWA, close outlook and open it back up. Now you can create new rules.
    OWA Should have no more rules. In the future, make sure you don't make any changes to existing rules in OWA

  • Windows 7 Pro/Outlook 2007/SharePoint Foundation 2007? .eml files open as attachment in outlook

    Here is the issue.
    I am running Windows 7 Pro with Office 2007.
    I attempt to open an email from sharepoint.  The email becomes an attachment to a new mail message from outlook 2007.
    When I attempt to open the same email from command line, it opens correctly.
    I have checked registry entries, and they all seem to point to the right places.
    I have set Outlook as the default E-mail program, as well as assigned the .eml files as defaulting to outlook.
    I have ran the microsoft fix, and manually implemented the fix after it didn't work, both to no avail.
    I need a solution for this, I can't believe Microsoft would have such an issue with compatibility with their own programs.
    If anyone has some insight, it is welcomed with open arms.
    I am unsure which forum to place this topic, since it covers so many microsoft issues/programs, so if this is located in the wrong place, please move it for me.
    I thank you all in advance for your assistance in this matter.

  • Requiring Password to Open Application

    Hello, my friends got into my computer and started talking to people on my IM client, Adium, is there a way to require a password to open adium, i want them to be able to use my computer, but not certain apps, can i just have the password for that app?

    It isn't possible (as far as I know) to require a password to open specific applications.
    What you should really do in this situation is create a separate account for your friends and enable Fast User Switching. When you walk away from the computer, switch to the login window or log in to the other account, and you're safe. The computer will still be fully functional, but things specific to you — like your accounts in Adium — will be safe. You can even try Leopard's special guest account, which erases itself when the person is done using it.
