Is there any way to specify the default version of LabVIEW?

I have a sinking feeling that the answer to this question is "no." With more than one version installed, is there any way to set the default LabVIEW version for opening a VI? I have both 7.1 and 8 installed, and usually only use 8 to open an example or look at something posted here. When I do that, it resets all the OS hooks so that the default action for opening a VI is to open it in version 8. I've even gone so far as to create actions to open files in 7.1 and 8, but it always resets my default action.
I found this KB article for when version 7 came out, but it's suggestions don't seem to work with 7 and 8.
Ugh. I hate it when software thinks it knows what I want better than I do.

Add
in the LabVIEW.ini file of those versions you do not want to rewrite
the registry on startup to point to themselves for VI files, the
following:
RegisterExtensions=False
Of course the VersionChooser utility mentioned earlier is even more convinient.

Is there any way to set the default for *.doc document so that Pages opens them automatically?

I have a number of Ms Word documents because I used to have Word for Mac before the last OS release. Now, of course, when I double-click on them, I get a message saying that PowerPC isn't supported.
Now Pages will open these files. Is there any way to change the default for *.doc files so that a double-click will open them in Pages?
(Instead of me going to the trouble of finding out where they are actually located on the hard drive so that I can open pages and say - here, open this file--even though you didn't create it--)

Click on a .doc file and type Cmnd I to open Get Info. In the Open with: menu select Pages, then click on Change All…

Is there any way to change the default font for outgoing text-messages, in "Messages"? (OSX 10.10)

Is there any way to change the default font for outgoing text-messages, in "Messages"?
I can change it for one conversation, but then it resets to the default, tiny font.
The preferences menu only lets me change the conversation font.
(OSX 10.10)

Hi,
As you may remember there used to be a Messages pane to the Preferences where the Font and colour of the Balloons or background and the Font text colour could be changed.
And there was a Format Menu for character, word and Sentence changes in the current IM or iMessage.
Those have gone in Yosemite's version of Messages (Despite it retaining the designation of Messages 8 the same as Mavericks' version).
All that can be done now is set the size of the font and this has been moved to the General Section of the Preferences.
The Yosemite version has also been fixed to using the Balloons style of send and receiving any type of messages as well.
Changing the Font would involved editing the Balloon.transcript file.

Is there any way to change the default AWR thresholds?

Hi Gurus,
Is there any way to change the default thresholds or attributes of AWR reports for a database?
I have a requirement to change threshold for the SQL statements reported based on sharable memory.
*"SQL ordered by Sharable Memory"*
By defaults it reports statements only above 1Mb (I think it is in Bytes). So I can find only one statement being reported in this category or some times even nil.
*"Only Statements with Sharable Memory greater than 1048576 are displayed"*
It would be great help for me if you guys can help me out as we have issues related to memory often.
Thanks and regards

I can think of two possible stumbling blocks:
What are your 8.6 options for "byte order" and "prepend array or string size"?
Overall, many file IO functions have changed with LabVIEW 8.0, so there might not be an exact 1:1 code conversion. You might need to make some modifications. For example, in 7.1, you should use "write file", the "binary file VIs" are special purpose (I16 or SGL). What is your data type?

Is there any way to change the default icon of opera in the taskbar?

It doesn't use the icon of the theme, and seems it use an ugly xpm picture. Anyway, if it doesn't have such glitch, I will not complain about it.
Placing another /usr/share/pixmaps/opera.xpm doesn't help. (I edit the xpm file and it's array name to logo3232_xpm.)
Or is there any way to do a icon map?(map the specific program to specific icon)
I'm using kde4 and smooth tasks.
Thank you for your help!

Well the .desktop file is going to tell the system what icon to use. Do a:
pacman -Ql opera | grep "/usr/share/applications"
and you should see it. Hmm, if you edited the icon in place it should work, but not if you changed the name. Look in the desktop file and be sure that the one you are editing is the one you need to change.

The latest iTunes software wiped out my apps for my 2G iPod Touch by overwriting newer releases of the apps which are not compatible with iOS 4.2.1. I tried to restore the iPod to an earlier version without success. Is there any way to download older versions of my apps which are compatible with my older iPod?

Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

Is there any way to change the default folder for new finder windows...

...Or even set a different folder as the "home folder"?
I am recovering from an incredibly messy archive and install which refused to allow me to save my old user accounts, instead moving them all into "Previous Systems". In my haste to get the machine working again I just dragged and dropped my old home folder into the /users/ directory and changed the "short name" of the new account to match it. IT worked, but now I have an incredibly irritating problem. That is now indeed my home folder, as appears in the sidebar of all finder windows, albeit under my new short name instead of my old one. All my documents in iWeb, Garageband, etc are working now and default to the new folder.
However, Finder has not recognized this, and every time I open a new Finder window or anything like that it defaults to the home folder created by the reinstall, which is now locked to this account (so all the folders have a red no entry sign on them). I would very much like to tell Finder to ignore this now defunct folder and default to my actual home folder instead - is there a way to do this without actually moving or changing any folders? Like a preference setting somewhere? I know there's the "Advanced Options" pane in Leopard but I've been completely unable to find anything like it in Tiger

Is there any way to change the default search parameters in Mail?

When I do a search it only checks "Today" instead of "Inbox." So then I have to select Inbox and reenter my search. Not a huge deal, but a bit bothersome. Any way to just set it to search "Inbox" by default instead of "Today?"

No. You will see many posts about tinker tool ,but that wont change Adobe Apps fonts, only apple applications.

Is there any way to specify the 32 bit jre rather than the 64 bit jre?

We have multiple apps that read native libraries, some of which are not yet available as 32 bit dlls. This has become an issue with the rising popularity of 64 bit Windows 7.
Is there any kind of workaround that will force a webstart to be run by the 32 bit jre if both the 32bit and 64 bit are loaded?

Welcome to the forum. Please don't post in threads that are long dead and don't hijack other threads. When you have a question, start your own topic. Feel free to provide a link to an old post that may be relevant to your problem.
The question doesn't make sense anyway, 32bit isn't available, but 64bit dlls are?
I'm locking this thread now.

I recently upgraded to firefox 4, then switched back. when i went back to firefox 3.6, it said that this version would only be supported for a limited time. Is there any way to keep the old version?

In 4, the tabs are on top of all of my bookmarks making them harder to access and there wasn't an arrow by the forward/back page buttons that pulled up a list of past pages. this new layout is not user friendly!

There are solutions for those interface issues, but to address your question about keeping the old version, make sure your auto-update is set to ask you before updating you.

Is there any way to specify the condition of the COUNTIF function to contain a certain text embedded in the cell with other text?

I know you can set it to count the cells if they contain ONLY what's in the condition, but what if they contain the search term and something else? For example, if I wanted to count the number of cells that said "apple" when each of the cells contains something like "apple, orange, pear" or "pear, banana, apple" how would I do that?

Ken,
LI's solution will get you there if you are looking to count the string even if it is part of a larger string. You can see that Apple only exists three times as a distinct word, but 4 times as a string or sub-string.
If you are only wanting to count the frequency of the word "Apple", you can do this:
If you are using a Comma-Space between words as in your problem statement, you can substitute the following column B expression:
=IFERROR(FIND(“Apple,", A&”,"), 0)

Apple Mail, is there a way to change the default time-out?

This has been puzzling me for some time and I have not found a solution. The problem which I also posted in the Mail forum (though I think that if there is a positive answer it will come through here) is as follows:
I have an email account with on my company's mail server which is actually a Novell Netware server with a POP3 service. When using mail to send mail, I have no problems. When using mail to recieve mail, well, sometimes it gets the mail, and sometimes it does not. Usually, I can recieve mail for two or three weeks then it just stops working. No changes to my system, no updates or anything, I recieve email at one point in the day and then 15 minutes later - nothing. In the Activity Monitor, I see "Connecting to ..." then "Sending Password" then "Checking for Messages", then (after a while) it beeps as if it did not find any messages to download (no error!).
Some weeks later, after suffering with webmail, suddenly, it works again. This usually coincides with maintenance on the server, but not always. It also seems to correspond with a general improvement of the server performance. But eventually, the cycle starts over again with mail suddenly not able to find any new messages for that account.
I use dial-up at home, ethernet LAN at work, and DSL at our satellite offices. When it works on one it works on all. Also note that my other email accounts (not in any way connected to my company) work as they should at all times and in each setting.
Is it possible that mail simply times out before the messages are discovered. The Novell server used for mail is by no means known for its performance. If so, is there anyway to change the default timeout in mail for "Checking for Messages"?
Things I have tried:
I have dumped the "MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded" and "MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded2" files to no avail.
I have changed computers (I recently upgraded from a ti400), reinstalled the OS, upgraded from 10.2.8 to 10.3.x to 10.4.3, and removed and recreated the mail account (multiple times), all to no avail.
Based on the above observations, I feel that it may be that "Mail's" "Get-mail" function is timing out before new messages are discovered on a very slow server. Is there any way to change the default time-out to evaluate this hypothesis?
Any help would be appreciated.

I already thought of that one. I deleted my account from there. But it didn't default to the other one. It just told me I needed to add an account. Thanks tho
