Permanently disable 'Extras'...???

Have this problem in both CS4 and CS5:
Whenever I open images or create new ones or simply pasting a new layer ontop of an already existing image this "resize-outline" extra keeps showing up. Hotting command+H makes it go away, until I paste another layer or open another image etc I have already tried to disable it by VIEW - SHOW - NONE, nothing seems to be working.
So my question is simply, how do I permantly disable this Extra function, I just want it to go away, for good.

c.pfaffenbichler - yes it was, thank you SO MUCH!!
My god that was easy. Can't believe it was that simple, it's been an annoyance for so long, so thanks again!

BIOS option to "permanently disable" Computrace

Hi,
In the T500 BIOS Setup is the option:
Security:Computrace: Computrace Module Activation
with 3 possible values:
Enabled (default?)
Disabled
Permanently Disabled
I think I understand how Computrace BIOS works: on boot the BIOS checks and makes sure the necessary drivers/services are present in the OS filesystem before the supported OS boots. The Computrace service then runs "hidden" in the OS and periodically phones home.
What I'd like to know is what happens if I select the BIOS option "Permanently Disabled". Is the Computrace checker/loader deleted from the BIOS? Is it possible to ever turn Computrace back on at a later date, perhaps by flashing the BIOS?
Thanks,
Frank

Say thanks! with a kudo.
Even better: Pay it forward, help someone else.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This field lets you Activate or Disable the BIOS module interface of the optional Computrace(R) Service from Absolute(R) Software. The Computrace agent from Absolute Software is a service solution designed to help track assets and provide recovery services in the event the notebook is lost or stolen. The Computrace agent communicates with the Absolute Software Monitoring Server at programmed intervals to provide the tracking service. By activating the service, you consent to the transmission of information from and to your computer and the Absolute Software Monitoring Server. The Computrace service is purchased as a separate option and the monitoring Server will enable its agent security module through an interface provided by the BIOS. The Computrace tracking agent can only be used in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. Computrace(R) and Absolute(R) are registered trademarks of Absolute Software Corporation.
Disable = Permanently block the Computrace module interface.
Deactivate = Block the Computrace module interface (default).
Activate = Permit the Computrace module interface.
The Absolute Anti-Theft solution is presently Deactivated. Note that the Activate or Disable options will permanently Activate or Disable the feature and no further changes will be allowed.
Also, if people are wondering about the service - for home users you can get info here: http://www.lojackforlaptops.com/learnmore.asp
For all of the software solutions - the info is here: http://www.absolute.com/
do you have renter's or home owners insurance? if so, it isn't worth it.
second, it only works if someone is going to use it on the internet.
third, you should read the terms for recovery http://www.absolute.com/PDF/EULA.pdf
which means that even if they recover the lappie, they do not cover the fact that it may be damaged or data lost. you must also always have it automatically loaded to connect regularily...if you are travelling and using dial up that may mean extra phone expenses. once lappie is located, the cops have to get the lappie...if it is outside recovery territory, your loss. it is recovery and not insurance in case of theft. and the nice catcher that if you didn't take precautions to safeguard against the theft, then it doesn't guarantee the recovery nor pay the $1000 if they cannot recover it (para 8.9). another important note, is that $1000 is max, and decreases annually (para 9).
prices are:
LoJack for Laptops - 4 year term US$119.99
LoJack for Laptops - 3 year term US$99.99
LoJack for Laptops - 2 year term US$79.99
LoJack for Laptops - 1 year term US$49.99
if you have insurance, i think it is absurd to buy these things. it is like buying lojack for a car, rather useless.

How to permanently disable this message: "Press Esc to exit full screen." (by Adobe Flash Player) in Mac's Safari Browser?

Hello everyone,
I have been searching for sometime (without any success) for a solution to permanently remove this annoying message: "Press Esc to exit full screen."
Whenever I go to full screen mode, watching any video on YouTube, BBC, CNN (or many other websites which use Adobe Flash Player for streaming video) I have to bare seeing this message for several seconds until it fades away. Seeing this message once or twice would have been okay, but as we all watch many videos on a daily basis on internet, after weeks, months and now years seeing this message over and over again many times every day, it becomes very annoying, and I find myself rewinding many videos to their beginning after this message fades away to be able to watch it from the beginning without anything obstructing it!
Does anyone know how to "permanently" disable this message from appearing?
I am using the latest version of Safari 6.0 on the latest version of OS X (Mountain Lion 10.8.1), and have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player (Plug-in version 11.4.402.265) installed on my new MacBook Pro 15" with Retina Display.
Thanks,
Ally

Thanks Carolyn,
I am attaching a screenshot here for you to see that this setting was already set to what you suggested. I didn't need to change it as it was like this even before I post this message.
So the problem still presists and unfortunately your suggestion is not a solution to this probelm.
Last night I did more reseach and found a discussion in Adobe website, it seems a lot of other people have the same issue, and even started a discussion in Adobe website about it. But unfortunately Adobe refuses to address it and enable the end user at least to have an option to turn this message off from displaying permanently on his/her computer.
I am writing down the url links for the two posts regarding this issue on Adobe's website:
Link #1: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/921270
Link #2: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3058752
Hopefully more people will get involved and ultimately we will either get Adobe's attention, or someone will find a "hack" and post it here for all of us. I have found some suggested "hacks" for Windows environment (you can simply google it, I am sure you will find them too). But so far I haven't seen anything for Mac's Safari browser.
Cheers,
Ally

How can I permanently disable the "fn" key?

Hi. My subject says it all. How can I permanently disable the "fn" key?
At first I thought I had a virus or something because when I typed only weird symbols came out. Then I reset the computer. Then I couldn't even log in. I tried Time Machine etc.
Then I realized that the "fn" key wasn't working right. It seems to be working backwards. It acts like it's being pushed when it's not, and when I do push it it acts like it's not being used.
So it's kind of a simple problem but it's really annoying.
Is there a way I can just disable it permanently? Even physical force if necessary. I tried to break it but it wouldn't break. I don't really use the key anyway so it doesn't really matter. I don't want to pay a bunch of money to replace a key I don't even use.
Thanks. I hope someone knows.

That's the best answer. Yeah usually if you press "fn" or "option" you can get it to work for awhile.
Yeah I have considered some kind of external keyboard also. It will make a laptop less laptopish. But it could do the job for awhile.
It's sad because I don't even care about the "fn" or "option" keys.
But anyway it's not catastrophic at least.
And yeah maybe we can get a new computer later or something. I like mine though. It's customized and is how I like it right now.
Anyway thanks for the reply.

I have the same problem with mine... but im trying to find a way to fix it without restoring it...
but one fix is to shut it down completely ... then press and hold BOTH the power button and the home button .. hold both of those 4 ten seconds .. then release the power button but still hold down the home button .. and then it'll show something that says "connect to itunes" once u get it connected to itunes , click the restore button ... BEWARE THIS WILL WIPE OUT EVERYTHING ON YOUR IPOD!!! IT WILL RESTORE IT BACK TO FACTORY SETTINGS , AS IF U JUST BOUGHT IT !!!!! then it should work fine again .. but u will lose all data on there besides the things you have synced with itunes already..
Thats y im iffy with doing this , im trying to find a fix where i wont have 2 restore it but i dont think there is 1 :'(
good luck tho

How can I permanently disable the pixel grid for all images forever?

I keep turning this off with View -> Show -> Pixel grid and it keeps coming back every time I zoom in on a new image.
Is there a registry setting I can change to permanently disable this feature? Or any other way?

Perhaps a Prefs Reset will fix this. Hold down ctrl-alt-shift and start Photoshop.

How to permanently disable comment popup hint in Adobe Reader X?

I wish to permanently disable the popup that says "Click on Comment and Share to create, mark-up and send PDF files.":
It is getting annoying having to always click it to remove it when viewing a new PDF file in Fullscreen mode.
How can I acheive this?
Is there a setting in the preferences or a key in the registry that I can modify?

You're right. I've tested on a couple of computers now and the problem seems to be isolated to one computer with a particular software setup. On the others it works as you describe.
You would'nt by any chance know where this "don't show the bubble"-setting is stored after clicking the cross for the first time? Is it in the registry?

How do you permanently disable Tool Pane from showing up every time you open a pdf document in Adobe Reader DC 2015?

Just like 9.9/10 people out here in the real world, I use Adobe Reader to read pdf files and never (ever) use the Tool Pane for anything.
How do I permanently disable it from showing up, instead of having to close it *each & every time* I open a pdf document? The majority of people don't want thins thing covering up the page they are trying to read.

Okay, seems I've stumbled upon an ugly workaround but it works for me. I'm using Windows 8.1. Go to the install directory, i.e." C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC\Reader\AcroApp\ENU". Create a new subfolder (I used "Disabled"). Move 3 files from the "ENU" folder into the new "Disabled" folder: AppCenter_R.aapp & Home.aapp & Viewer.aapp. Open a PDF and no more Tool Pane! I originally moved just the "Viewer" file but if you clicked on "Home" or "Tools" on the toolbar you couldn't go back to the "Document." Moving all 3 files takes care of that issue. Like a lot of people I don't and won't ever use any of the tools. I just want a reader. Let me know if this works for you.

My ipad 2 has permanent disabled due to passcode what can I do

My ipad 2 has permanent disabled due to passcode what can I do

If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

Is it possible to permanently disable HDMI output from Logic?

Every time my monitors wake from sleep, Logic asks if I want to switch my audio output to HDMI... pretty irritating as I have agressive energy saving settings, which I'd like to keep, as I try to keep my studio as energy efficient as possible, and 2 big LCD's suck a lot of current. The box that pops up also causes playback to stutter, so if I wake the monitor during playback there is that issue as well (also very irritating).
In windows there is an option to permanently disable hdmi audio, is there something similar in OSX or in Logic itself?
Thanks for the help!

Do you have timing problems with HDMI? I stopped using HDMI because the audio and video didn't seem to sync properly. The difference wasn't huge but big enough to cause it to be hard to recognize points in the piano roll and audio edit windows at some zoom ratios.

Why did Apple design the iPad to permanently disable without ANY means to recover data just by virtue of someone trying to enter the wrong password? What is the logic behind this design decision?

Daughter unknowingly attempts to access iPad by entering wrong passwords. This leads to the iPad being disabled. It contains home videos that have not been backed up. This is a common scenario that Apple has made no effort to solve. Why does this continue to be a problem? It is outrageous that a device should permanently disable like this for NO GOOD REASON. Apple - Please address this issue in iOS 8.2. This should not happen. It makes no logical sense for the iPad to do this. No sense whatsoever.

See where it says Backup ? Turn it on, that's all it takes.

Can I permanently disable private browsing

We use covenant eyes to track all internet activity on our devices, but private browsing prevents this from being 100% accurate. We can see that private browsing has been used, but we don't know what was accessed. Can we permanently disable private browsing or lock with parental controls?
