Batch opening of recently opened files... uninvited!

all of a sudden today about 5 acrobat windows will start popping up with my recently used documents. i did not initiate this. it's happened 4 times. i'm not doing anything out of the ordinary. i've had acrobat 8.0 for quite some time now.
anybody else having this problem?
could it be the recent update?

I don't have DWCS6, just DWCS4 and DWCC. When I go to Program Files(x86) > Adobe > Adobe Dreamweaver CC (or Dreamweaver CS4) > configuration > Menus > MM > and then open the file named "File_RecentFiles.htm" at either location, this is the code...

HT202879 I am stumped - trying to open a recent Pages file but error message says that I need a "newer version" of Pages. My software updates show that there are no updates available. I recently updated Pages but it is not consistent.

I am stumped - I am trying to open a recent Pages file (created with a newer software that I thought was correctly installed recently) but error message says that I need a "newer version" of Pages. My software updates show that there are no updates available. Pages 09 version 4.3 shows as my current version.

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
Note: Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

Have recently updated Adobe Reader and now unable to open downloaded documents - Message received is could not open 'file name.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded). When I check the file it shows Zero KB downloaded but the file appears - any suggestions?

Obviously your download was not successful.
What is your operating system? How exactly do you download such files?

The recently open files are greyed out.

How to Increase the # of Recently Opened Files in DW CS6 ???

Can anyone please give a detailed instruction on how to increase the number of Recently Opened files in Dreamweaver CS6? I have read the forums everywhere and do not see a solution here that works. For me there is no: Menus/MM/File_RecentFiles.htm
I mean I have a "Menus" directory but no "MM" directory inside that... also, if I create one... I still need a sample "File_RecentFiles.htm" to copy. Or maybe someone knows another solution?

Where's the drop-down with "Recent places" in "Open File" dialogue?

Hi,
Until Mountain Lion, all "Open file" dialogue boxes included at the top a drop-down list with higher-level locations as welll as "recent places" - folders that were recently used to open files.
In apps such as Smultron, this is hugely efficient and I would say the vast majority of the file I open, I access via that drop-down.
Now, in apps that support iCloud, the UI of the "Open file" dialogue has changed significantly - with that drop-down now completely missing!!!
I am actually really really upset about this feature being removed. Is there ANY way to bring it back? I waste so much time now in opening files, it's ridiculous.
Thanks,
Biranit

Wierdly the only way I have found to bring this essential piece of the open file dialog box back is to disable icloud "Docuemetns & Data". Then hey presto the view controls are back on the top and the drop-down returns.
...but you don't have icloud documents any more
Sounds like a wierd omission in Mountain Lion if you ask me. I use that drop-down all the time...

How to clear recently opened files

I'm using Flash Player 11, and I was wondering if I'd be able to remove the recently opened files under "file". Thanks!
(Also, not related to this question, but is there a keyboard shortcut for "close" or "exit"?)

What is your operating system & version?
Do you mean the standalone player (Projector)?

Java side batch commands? I.e.: open FILE

Is there a way to add commands for a batch file into a java code?
Like...
If i was going to make a code to open a text file, in a ms-dos/batch file i would put
open FILENAMESo is there a way i can make it use the batch to open a file, but without clicking the batch to do it.
For example;
Im going to have my own game, people will have the open in the batch file of the game client, so they can just edit so it dosn't do it, but the client will be obfuscated and closed source, so they wont be able to edit that'
Thanks for any help.

Ok, this is a simple batch file;
@echo off
echo this is a simple batch file
*open file.txt*
*del file2.txt*
pauseI want to execute those bits in **'s* in a java file, so someone can't just right click the batch file and edit them out.
I hope you understand me now.

Projects, Recently Opened files tab missing

Windows shut down my machine after doing an update, when i started it and opened jdeveloper, it was missing the following tabs (Projects, Application Resources, Data Controls, Recently Opened files tab) under Application Navigator. How do i get them back. I can't see any of my project. I tried to create a sample application and put projects in it, but still can't see the projects.
Thanks for any help

It would be located in a directory with a path similar to the one below, replacing "ric" with your windows username.
C:\Documents and Settings\ric\Application Data\JDeveloper\system11.1.1.0.22.47.32\o.ide

How to add "recently opened files" option in my menubar?

In MS Word & others there will be a option to retrive all the recently opened files.Where exactly these files have been stored? Can I get the code for adding this option in my menu bar?
regards,
Madhu

HI, i believe taht word stores that in the windows registery but yuo could always save it in a file. then each time your application opens or saves a document modify your file. then everytime your application starts just read that file and add the content to your recently opened files list in your menu.
Hope this helps you,
Robert

Clearing recently opened files

How does one clear an application's recently opened files when control-clicking on an application? Clicking on the mac at the top left corner and clearing recently items only clears that menu, there still remains individual menus for say, preview or quicktime, that I wish to clear and I can't seem to find a way to. Cheers.

How to recently opened files as Menuitem (swing)

we have a menubar which contains some internalframes and we have to display some html files which we get from a directory directly as a menu item. so if some body puts some more files in the diretory the menu automatically shows all the files in the menu.
Now i come to the problem , we have a menu called WindowMenu .if somebody opens either internalframes or html files we want WindowMenu to display the recently opened internalframes or the htmlfiles as JMenuitem.
and if a user goes to window menu and select a recently opened file it should open that respective frame

How to remove Recently opened files?

Is there a way to remove Recently opened files (File>Open Recently Edited File)?

Reset the preferences. in PSE version 10 and older quit the editor (quit PSE in PSE 8 and lower on a mac) then restart it while holding down ctrl+alt+shift (command+option+shift on a mac). Keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.
In PSE 11 and 12, go to the editor preferences>general and click this button, then restart the editor:
