Admin login

We can update the login settings, imran786.

You can log into a Company File without having to enter a username and password every time. As long as you are using the same Windows user account, you only have to log in with your username and password once every few days, and can open the Company File or switch to another Company File without having to re-enter your login credentials.

To change your login settings, you can follow these easy steps:

1. Log in to your company file.
2. From the Edit menu, click Preferences. 
3. Click General from the left menu and select the Company Preferences tab.
4. Under the Manage Login Settings section, click Keep user logged in for and then select the number of days.
5. Click OK to save changes.

You will be required to enter your username and password again only if you have explicitly logged off from the Company File or when the login period set has expired. For more details about this option, you can click this article: Stay logged in to QuickBooks company file (sign in without entering your password).

If you have other questions, you can always mention me in your reply. I'll be around to keep an eye on it. Take care and have a great day!

Any specific reason? Your admin is not necessary to login to let other users access the company file.

I updated QB. Next day I tried to open it by clicking on the QB icon on my desktop and I get that I have to reboot the PC to complete installation. I have done this zillions of times, and continue to get the error message when clicking on the icon. 

I'll make sure you'll be able to open your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), @mytikus.

Can you share with me the error message you received on your end? This way, I gather more information about it and provide you the best fix. Any additional details can help us narrow things down.

5. When the install finishes, open the tool hub on your Windows desktop.

7. Click Quick Fix my Program.
8. Start QuickBooks Desktop and open your data file.
