Additional Plugins folder PS CC - make a shortcut to your location

A great start, i have used PS CS5 Extended for years and got the PS CC version last night, despite following the tutorials on Adobe all say to add additional folder as before, that is not an option in PS CC Preferences under edit - to be honest i thought allowing one custom location in the past was stingy (some 3rd party filters install where they want in program files rather than to a main plugins folder then sub folder you specify)
I have seen mentioned by an Adobe Staff member to create a shortcut to your plugins folder, but no instruction as to how (would been the smart thing to post that instruction), so how please do i do this?

Using Windows 7 Ultimate
I had to select my custom 3rd party plugins main folder and use ........... Send To ..... Desktop (Create Shortcut) then follow instructions
After you complete that, you are faced with the fact its 64bit PS CC only installed by Adobe so you cannot use most plugin filters, try this below .....

Having used Photoshop for a long time, i am surprised at having to do all this, the time wasted searching for how to do so is not funny and all Adobe PS CC manuals or pages instruct to use the extra plugins folder location as per PS CS5, I always rated you as very good before.

Photoshop CC Additional Plugins Folder

Why on earth would Adobe remove the ability to point to a folder for additional plug-ins? I'm sure they will have lots of good reasons. However, the standard folder is embedded in the AppData folder in Windows. That folder resides on the system (C:) drive. I always install Plugs in a folder on a separate drive on my system (D:) so as to make it easy to manage and navigate. Bad choice, guys.

Because the plugins folder is just for third party plugins, and because we saw the additional plugins folder mis-used (and causing problems for the user) far more often than it was used correctly.
Plus you can always use a shortcut to another folder from within the plugins folder.

Additional Plugins Folder - Windows 7 64bit

Since getting a new computer with 64bit Windows 7, Photoshop CS4 isn't behaving. The additional plugins folder is checked, and no matter what plugins I have in that folder, they are not recognized. I remember in using older versions of Photoshop, you had to download some dll that I can't remember and put it in your system folder or something for the additional plugins to show. Is that still the case? If so, what do I need to do?

The plugins are not installed plugins. They are in .8bf format. I haven't even attempted my AlienSkin or AutoFX CDs yet. The folder for these .8bf extension plugins is not even on the same hard disk as Photoshop, so I don't see how the 32-bit version that was installed along with the 64-bit version was corrupted by them. This doesn't make sense to me.

This is an message when I open up CS4 in Illustrator. "Some plugins in additional plugins folder are conflicting with application or user plugins. It will skip loading plugins from additional plug-ins folder? What does this mean and how can I fix it.

Thanks Larry. I thought so. I will do this weekend. Again, I appreciate your help.
Trying to get updated software – I am not a fan of the cloud stuff. Nothing I can do about it.
Thanks again Larry!

Disable Single Plugins within "Additional Plugin Folder"

Dear Photoshoppers,
I'm using PSCS3 for quite some time now and I often run into a problem whenever I'm using the "Additional Plugin Folder"-option...
Every time I check out the latest trial for Photoshop and try to add the plugin folder of my primary Photoshop, the Trial Version complaints about various errors.
So my question is:
Is it possible to use the "Additional Plugins Folder" while simultaniously disable those single plugins of my original Photoshop that cause the trial version to complain about without deleting/deinstalling/moving those plugins in question?
Thanks in advance,
Daniel

You can disable plug-ins by putting a tilde (~) in front of their name.

External Plugins Folder Option Missing in CC?

After upgrading I realized I am missing some external plugins I had installed.
Those I am missing are ones that I had in an external folder that you could set in preferences. The ability to set an Additional Plugin Folder is gone. Can I set an external plugin folder?
Thanks!

That does not work for TopazLabs plugins as their installer does not install the links into the proper folder in PS CC.
I copied the appropriate links from PS CS6 to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC (64 Bit)\Plug-ins
and restarted PS CC -- voila now have my four TopazLab plugins fully functioning again.

How do I make a shortcut for a folder without duplicating the contents?

With Windows, I can right-click and make a shortcut icon for a program or folder, but don't know how to do that with a Macbook. I'd like to create a link in my Public folder for my music.
Thanks for any help.

control-click on the Music folder and select "make alias". drag the alias to your Public folder. you can also just commandoptiondrag the music folder to the Public folder and it will create an alias there directly.

Yahoo adaware installed, now i cant get rid of it in firefox, tried changing settings/deleting plugins folder.. HELP PLZ!

Tried installing what i thought was a legit file, turns out it was PC OPTIMIZER PRO/OPERA/YAHOO (why cant firefox make fix for this "force install" crap.. or windows a "black list" for this crap... any way these were force installed on my pc, was able to get rid of "pc Optimizer pro / Opera" but YAHOO is still lurking somewhere.. I USE GOOGLE LIKE THE REST OF THE PLANET! But no matter what i do i cant uninstall this crap.. tried deleting plugins folder C:\program files (x86)\Mozilla\browser/plugins or what ever it is.. also removed YAHOO from my settings... and its still forcing me to use yahoo as my search provider.

this was the first thing i tried, fixed it here is how (SURE FIRE WAY TO GET RID OF IT. TIRED OF SIFTING THROUGH USELESS POSTS TO FIGURE THIS OUT? HERE IS THE LEGIT FIX!)
open firefox.
go to Settings > Options > Search
un-check every search engine
change the "default search engine" to the engine of your choice and close firefox.
next go to Start > Run > regedit
Click search box and type "yahoo" it will take you to the folder containing the registry for "yahoo" delete the whole folder.
restart firefox.
Check to be sure it worked, (you may need to reset the "default search engine" again.)

How to make a shortcut to run my Java app in Windows?

Hiya, Coders :-)
I am an absolute beginner.
I have copied a little window program from "Java 2 in easy steps".
I run it from the command line and a little window pops up.
I cannot find a way to start the app without the command prompt.
How can I make a shortcut to start it?
Julian (-_-)

Hiya, Coders ;-)
As it happens, I have a game from UJ Software: "Shisen for Java".
It has a shortcut, of course.
Here are all its details just in case it helps ...
The game folder is here:
C:\Program Files\UJ Software\Shisen for Java\jShisen.jar
Contents of the installed shortcut ...
General:
Type of file: Shortcut
Opens with: Java(TM) Platform SE binary
Location: C:\Documents and Settings\Julian Bury\Start Menu\Games
Shortcut:
Target Type: Executable Jar File
Target location: Shisen for Java
Target: "C:\Program Files\UJ Software\Shisen for Java\jShisen.jar"
Start in: "C:\Program Files\UJ Software\Shisen for Java\"
Run: Normal window
I don't suppose this will help.
It strikes me that nobody knows for certain how to run a java app!
I have two beginner's books, neither of which mentions anything beyond the command prompt.
Tricks to minimize the console window are just not professional!
The solution must be written authoritatively somewhere ...
has anyone seen it, please?
Increasingly disturbed ...
Julian *(-_-)*

Safari Plugins Folder Suddenly Empty

Just figured this one out and thought i would post my solution because i couldn't find it on the forums anywhere. Last week for no reason safari suddenly could not run any plugins. Every site i visited required that i install a plugin. I would install and go back to site and it would give the same error. I checked the installed plugins in safari help and it was empty. I installed some plugins manually via finder opening content folder and copying into internet plugins folder, still nothing showing up.
I ran the disk utility to fix permissions still no good.
Solution: I finally went to Applications/Safari.app and right clicked, then clicked on GetInfo. Here i looked at permissions, unlocked them and added my user account as read/write. Finally success!
I have no idea why this account was dropped by Safari but all works now. I hope this can help someone else.

HI and welcome to Apple Discussions...
In case permissions isn't the issue in the future...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences and select the Security tab.
Make sure: Enable plug-ins is selected.
If that box is already checked, then go here to trouble shoot 3rd party plugins.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1594
Also make sure Safari is not running in Rosetta.
Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle so it faces down. Where you see Open using Rosetta... make sure that is NOT selected.

What are the basic components in the library plugins folder.

What are the standard plugins in the Library/Plugins folder for Snow Leopard? I'm trying to figure out what I can uninstall and I have no clue.

It probably contains the empty folders Components, HAL, MAS, and VST. (I'm not sure, since my folders do contain stuff.) But none of Apple's standard effects and instruments are sitting there.

Where is my PS CS4 Plugin folder?

I was trying to install the complete edition for NIk Software but I was not able to locate the PLUGIN folder , where is that? From the instruction of software installation I should locate the following:
Macintosh HD: Application: Adobe Photoshop CS4: Plugins
In Adobe Bridge CS4 there is a plugin folder but in Adobe Photoshop CS4, there is none.
Please help!

If the Photoshop-folder in the Applications-folder does not contain a folder named »Plug-ins« You might consider re-installing Photoshop (after making sure al personalized settings like Workspaces, Actions, Brushes, etc. are backed up).
