9.3.0 File association "icon" in XP Pro limited user account problem?

XP Pro SP3 all MS Updates.
Problem occurred after updating Adobe PDF reader to 9.3.0 via the program update feature
File association ok but weird thing is on Limited user account. The icons for a PDF file are not Adobe ones it is a generic one. If I try to open the file it opens with the correct program.
Problem evident on desktop icons and in looking in windows explorer.
If I attach a file in my email program (Outlook Express) it shows the correct icon.
These files were created from various pdf creators. Ofice 2007 Mac SO X 10.4.11 Quartz, Adobe InDesign CS4 (6.0) and InDesigdn CS4 (5.0) so it doesn't seem matter what program created the files.
I am at a loss to figure out how to get the correct icon in the Limited User Account. The correct icons show up in the Admin account. Note the files do open with the adobe reader.
Thanks
Celeste

Gosh anyone out there have any idea how to resolve this? The generic MS icon for the files in the limited user account is annoying as all get out. Anyone out there from Adobe or is this not a monitored forum. Not sure. Thanks
Note: Correct program is accessed just the icons for the PDF files in the limited user account are the generic MS ones.

Creative Cloud menu icon appears on other Mac user accounts

My Mac (OS X 10.7.5) has several user accounts, but I am the only Adobe user, and for security I don't want to log in or do anything with Creative Cloud in other peoples' accounts.
But they see a Creative Cloud menu icon, grayed out and not logged in. Why does this happen and how can I get rid of it?
There is nothing in these users' login items.
TIA

Thanks for this. In the Cleaner App, I only saw Application Manager for OS 10.6 (other than my installed CC apps). I cleaned this one only. However after restarting, athough the cleaner said the uninstall was successful, I could not find any log file for the Cleaner App. I still reinstalled the CC Desktop App, but with the same results.
Do I need to uninstall ALL the CC apps?
Thanks again.

I have recently transferred data from my old PC to my new Mac Book Pro (Mavericks OS). Each transfer creates a new User account (titled 'Owner', 'Owner 1', etc). I want to merge the files from these transfers into my main user account. Help?

I have recently transferred data from my old PC to my new Mac Book Pro (Mavericks OS). Each transfer creates a new User account (titled 'Owner', 'Owner 1', etc). I want to merge / consolidate the files from these newly created User accounts into my main user account. Is there a tutorial for this process, or any tips? Anyone?

Four transfers. After the initial attempt with Migration Assistant failed (after hours and hours of wifi transfer) I did "mini-transfers" of more manageable, smaller bits of files -- my music in one, photos in another, etc. Since posting my question in this forum, i contacted Apple support, chatted with Angela, and she suggested getting an ethernet-USB adapter for my mac, connecting my external drive with ethernet and transferring files manually -- that is, NOT using the Migration Assistant at all. She sent me this link to help: Switch Basics: Migrate your Windows files to your Mac. I appreciate your response, tho', Csound1!

Add file type icons to links using CSS - DW CSS problem?

Hi,
I want to add file icons to links using CSS. How to do this
is clearly described in the article found
HERE.
A most useful feature I REALLY want to use
However the CSS code shown below is not recognized by DW CS3.
In the CSS Styles window shows "(no styles defined)". HELP!
Any tips/tricks/pointers would be appreciated.

Actually, it has been able to handle most of the CSS 3
selectors since
MX 2004, but it doesn't recognize these:
E[foo^="bar"]
E[foo$="bar"]
E[foo*="bar"]
E ~ F
Since they're all supported by IE7, Firefox, Opera 9.5, and
Safari 2,
there's a good argument for Dreamweaver to start supporting
them. Why
don't you submit a formal feature request to Adobe?
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
There are several others not yet supported by Dreamweaver,
but browser
support for them is non-existent, too. The four listed above
are the
most important.

Read/Write App Files Under Limited User Account

Hi All,
My desktop app is intended for Windows only. I'm writing files to the hard disk to store app specific configuration.
The applications main data source is a ZIp file that consists several XML files. The user can store this ZIP anywehre they like and the application will extract the necessary files to a temp dir so that it can read in data.
When logged into a PC as either an Administrator or Power User, I am able to read write my config files and extract XML files from the ZIP with no problem.
When logged in as a user with "limited" access, I can only read and write the config files. But when I go to extract any XML files from the ZIP, it seem to get denied due to insufficient permissions.
The working directory for storeing all these files is: C:\Documents and Settings\<USER NAME>\Application Data\<MY APP>\
Don't users with limited access have full read/write permissions to their own home directory?
If not, what can be done to give them full read write access? Is there perhaps some other location I should be using?
Also, would code signing from some place like Verisign do any good?
I'm targeting Windows 2000/XP.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Jim

You can also access the user folder through the registry:
     public static final String APP_DATA_FOLDER_CMD = REG_QUERY_UTIL
          + "\"HKCU\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\"
          + "Explorer\\Shell Folders\" /v AppData";
      * Gets the current user Application Data folder path defined in the
      * registry.
      * @return The current user Application Data folder path.
     public static String getCurrentUserAppDataFolderPath()
          return queryREG_SZ(APP_DATA_FOLDER_CMD);
      * Performs the query in the registry for the specified value type.
      * @param queryString The query to be performed.
      * @param valueType The value type.
      * @return The value data for the specified value name in the registry.
     public static String queryREG_SZ(String queryString, String valueType)
          try
               Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(queryString);
               StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(process.getInputStream());
               reader.start();
               process.waitFor();
               reader.join();
               String result = reader.getResult();
               int p = result.indexOf("REG_SZ");
               if (p == -1)
                    return null;
               return result.substring(p + valueType.length()).trim();
          catch (Exception e)
               return null;
     }This will get you the user directory from the registry. However, my issue is
that the value returned was:
C:\Documents and Settings\<USER NAME>\Application Data
Which is great, but that folder didn't exists on my computer. I cannot find
any documentation to say why it would be there. Except I had no Application
Data folders under any user. I have XP.
So when running the program on one computer, I had no valid folder to write
to and it wouldn't let me create it. Said the <USER NAME> folder could not
be written to. canWrite() returned false and the directory could not be
created.
On another computer, I had the Application Data folder, the canWrite()
returned false, yet I was able to create a folder and file inside.
I checked the default <ALL USERS> directory and the Application Data folder
did not exist there.
I don't understand how I am supposed to work around it...
If the folder doesn't exist, I need to be able to create it, whether it's in the
<ALL USER> or <USER NAME> folder.
I guess I am counting on the canWrite() to be accurate. Yet it appears that
I cannot rely on the canWrite() since a false was returned. I wrote!!
So confused ... need to be able to write to this folder on any computer...
Help!!

Bridge CS4 - Lost all file associations

I run Photoshop CS4 on my desktop and notebook, Windows XP Pro.
I have lost all my file associations with bridge CS4. If I clicked on a .jpg MS paint would start up. It use to work before no problem. If I reset, it does nothing. This is happening on **both** of my machines.
I manually changed them all to PS CS4 and still the oddd time MS Paint will start and not PS.
Any ideas how to fix this?

There are 2 places to look. One is in Bridge preferences/file associations. If that does not fix the problem in XP open Explorer Tools/Folder Options/file types.
Look to see that the default program for the file type is what you want.
Good hunting.

File association issue with PictureView 7.2

Unlike Apple QuickTime 7.16, QT 7.2 use 2 profiles to log per user setting info:
File1 \C:\Documents and Settings\%current user%\Application Data\Apple Computer\QuickTime\QTPlayerSession.xml
File2 \C:\Documents and Settings\%current user%\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\QuickTime\QuickTime.qtp
when a limited acccount user log on and run pictureView, he will receive a dialog box ask them to reset file associations. You can not supress the dialog box even you use QuickTime control pannel. This only happens for limited user account.I don't know it is either a bug of 7.2 or Apple intends to do like this.Same thing will happen to run Quicktime from a limited user account, but you can use QuickTime.qtp to solve the issue.
Any solution to solve the pictureview issue is appreciate.
Thanks in advance.

Simon,
I did a few things that solved my problem. However there could be a bunch of reason for you to get this error
For ex, Operating System Collector error or problem with the paging etc.
Can you elaborate your problem with the following details:
1. Your observations of the errors through the SAP Management Console
2. Your machine OS and RAM details.
3. Are you going in for a fresh installations? or did you uninstall CE before?
May be I can help if you are facing the same issues, I did.

How do i transfer migrated files from one user account to another

Mac novice so please be kind!!!!

Was this transfer from a Windows PC to your new Mac?
It is that aspect of Migration Assistant that I find less than useful. Even from one Mac to another, creating a new (old) account is like sorting through old boxes deciding what to put where. This is why I say MA is really only useful at the very outset where the account it creates is the one you will be using.
Anyway you have a whole lot of content in a different account that you want to move into your main account.
Not the only way, but a good way is to drag the folders of files and photos into your desired main user account, putting them in to the Drop Box ;
Macintosh HD / Users / collies? / Public / Drop Box
Then log into your main account and collect them from the same location.
This method is a bit clunky but it will update the ownership permissions of the moved files to the extant account.
Set up your email in your new account from scratch.
For general information, the following link has a great deal for the novice.

How do I block limited users from downloading or installing files?

Hello and greetings from the Sooner state! I am embarrassingly seeking your advice and guidance on a topic I should have a solution for given my background as a certified A+ Technician and Cyber Security Technician in the United
States Air Force. The issue is this, I have a user (my son) who continues to find ways to download and install malware via video online games or uncommon search engines (Vosteran), something else he has managed to do…   To this date I have
ensured that he is logging on to his Windows 7 computer utilizing a Limited User Account, I have locked down his machine utilizing a combination of iolo System Mechanic, Microsoft Family Safety (my primary parental control software), Microsoft
Security Essentials none of which block the installation of software at the Limited User level.   If you look at the Top 3 Parental Control suite of software there is nothing that includes such a utility as part of their software package that prohibits
or bars your kids from installing software on their own. I know that a Limited User is supposed to be restricted from installing any software but this isn’t the case with my Son. What would your best advice be for me in this situation? Again,
I should have this info down pat yet I do not (that’s what retirement does to you, LOL)…   Many thanks in advance for your help! Peace!!

Hi Doc Bryan,
If you are using consumer versions of win7 (higher than home premium), you could use the Group policy to impose various restrictions on installing and running software and those will apply on standard users.
To prevent Installation of software by using windows installer.
Run gpedit.msc to open group policy editor.
Navigate to Computer configuration/Administrator Templates/Windows Components/Windows installer/Prohibit User Installs
Enable this policy and change the “User Install Behavior” option value to “Hide User Install”.
To prevent downloading files from Internet Explorer
Navigate to User configuration/Administrator Templates/Windows Components/Internet Explorer/Internet Control Penal/Security Page/Internet Zone/Allow file downloads
Enable this policy and change the “Allow file downloads” option value to “Disable”.
Note: Since for Windows it is hard to define that which exe file is installation or execution of the program, there is always some way can walk around this Group policy such as hard disk copy program or using third party Internet browsers
to download.
So you also need Parental Controls feature(also apply to home edition)
and you can find it in control panel, choose the standard account to which you want to apply the control. Now click ‘Allow and Block Specific Programs’ link and choose ‘[User] can only use the programs I allow’ option.
After analyzing, it will show you the list of all programs installed on the system which can be used by the standard user. Hit the Check All button to allow all programs, then find and uncheck Chrome and other apps that you want to restrict. When done, hit
OK.
If your kids want to use a certain software and you find it safe to use. Log inside your Administrator account and install it from there. While installing, please select “Install for All Users” when prompted. Doing this will install the software for all
users.

User account missing files and preferences?? Not from renaming home folder

Hi all,
After some strange behaviour in Apple Color, upon rebooting, my user account has returned to default. I had many items on the desktop and various subfolders in the documents folder. All pictures. Music. All are now gone. Desktop and dock have been reset to default.
The user folder still exists but everything I had in there is gone.
Another user may have been created called "root" containing only
/Library
/Documents/Color Documents...etc
I am aware of the problem with changing the short name or renaming the home folder (after sifting through this forum) and it is definitely not this problem.
Maybe its somehow related but I definitely did not rename any of these things myself. And there is no duplicated user account with all my files in it.
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Nate
ps. Is it possible to restore the system to an earlier time like in Windows?
I've read somewhere that a Previous System folder exists and it might be possible with Disk Utility but I can't find this folder anywhere.

Hi there,
Thanks for the reply. I've managed to restore most of my important stuff using a file recovery software so I'm at peace with the loss of only a few files now. I'll just have to start rebuilding my dock and preferences again now which is not the end of the world.
After a bit of thinking about it I'm 95% sure this is what happened.
Color tried to save an image file with the same name as the folder I had made storing all my Color project saves. The folder was called Post. I'm not quite sure how its possible but it managed to overwrite the folder with the new image file. Now there is a Color image file (with no extension) there called Post and no folder.
Then I tried to save the Color project and of course it told me the project directory was missing and it will create a new one. I'm guessing this is when Color bulldozed through my user account to create the folder Color Documents where it DIDN'T save the file anyway
Leaving me with a default user account deleting everything that was 'added' to the account previously.
It also created another user account called 'root' in which there is also only a Color Library/preferences and documents folder
Is that normal that things like that can just happen?
I guess from here I will just try and finish my project and afterwards do a re-install of the OS just to be sure - checking the Archive and Install option this time
Unless you have any other ideas from what I've told you.
Thanks again for replying
Nate

Missing Icons, unable to set file association properly after upgrade to CS6

I am working with a client that had CS3 on Windows XP and upgraded to CS 5.5, and now has upgraded that to CS6. Her file associations were all set back to CS3, even though it shows that CS3 is uninstalled. I manually changed them and it will open the INDesign files but I cannot get icons to show for anything. I can see the icons in the shell folder and I can pick one but it will not show in Windows. Is there a way to clean up her system easily and make CS6 the default Adobe - and make sure none of the others have lingering file associations or references? I dont think they uninstalled all the way.

There is no easy way. you will have to clean out all file associations and reinstate them manually. You are simply exceeding the context handlers, a limitation in the operating system itself and usualyl a sign of too many programs trying to link their actions to a file association liek right-click menu entries for compression tools, virus scanners, viewers etc.

Desktop and Start Program icon .LNK File Associations

The file associations for .LNK files on a Vista Home Premium SP1 computer have changed from their default association to another application program, ie. Internet Explorer Picture Viewer, with the result that none of the program shortcut icons or desktop icons launch their respective programs - they all attempt to launch Explorer. Changing the file association on an individual shortcut results in all shortcuts being changed to the selected program. Is there a way to change the .LNK file associations back to the Windows default in order to relate the shortcuts to their respective application program?

Hi, thanks for the post. We can modify registry to fix the issue. Let's download the file below:
http://cid-4fc3e8fc77f77286.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/lnkfix.zip
Compress the zip file and simply double click the .reg file and it will some add registry entries, restart the computer and see if the issue is resolved.
Hope this helps!

Displaying icon file associated with the exe file.

Hi ,
I want to display the icon file associated with the an exe file.
I know that it is posssible to (Using wni32 API's) it is possible to extract the ico file. But I don't know how I can display it in my Java application.
It will be great if anybody can throw light on it.
With Regards,
Praveena

Hi,
what functions do you both have in mind when talking about extracting the icon file using JNI and Win32 API? I know there is ExtractIcon in VisualBasic and Delphi that works for this, yet I do not see anything similar in JNI.
Thanks in advance,
Gleb.
P.S. You should be able to display .ico files after decoding them & encoding them into gif/jpg in JIMI (Sun package for advanced image/graphics management).
