? Best way to remove the notification area "Safely Remove" icon?

I have a new T500 running Vista64. I've been able to customize it mostly to my liking. But I still have a notification area icon called "Safely Remove Hardware." When I click on it a window pops up allowing me to "safely remove" the Ma*shi*ta DVD drive. I will never remove this hardware.
There are pretty clear methods that disable this icon and seemingly work perfectly for nVidia installations of serial ATA drives, but this T500/Vista64 setup doesn't have those drivers or the registry key that is modified. I am aware that I can customize the notification area to "hide inactive icons" (via Taskbar properties) but there is only this one icon and it does not serve a purpose. I am certain that there is a benign way to remove the icon that does not involve other software (like RemoveSRHI) and only removes the icon as it pertains to the "removable" Ma*shi*ta DVD drive. Any temporary hardware, like a flash drive, that needs this will still display the icon. The nVidia setups simply add a registry fix to HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\nvata by adding a DWord "DisableRemovable." I've read from quite a few successful users of this registry fix and there doesn't seem to be a downside.
Does someone that knows a lot more about these drivers know if the DisableRemovable DWord can be added to a different key that's in my setup so the icon isn't displayed? I'm guessing there are thousands of T500 users that would thank you! Many Thanks, Ben

I remember having this happen on my Toshiba, and since I never safely removed anything, I hid it.
Since you're still wanting to use it to remove USB drives, etc. I found a dandy program, it allows you to hide devices you don't want to stop. I've never used it, but the domain said it all for me: http://www.safelyremove.com/
Hope it works for you, it did for someone else in a forum I visted via some Googling.

How the best way to use the defringe tool in removing chromatic aberration?

I am having a problem with LR 4.2 in correcting chromatic aberation. When I try to use the "defringe tool" I receive the following error message, "Cannot set the purple or green fringe color. Please sample a representative fringe color agian." However, I can see the sampled pixel in the pallette and read the RGB values. What am I doing wrong?

In this case, where the dropper doesn't work, you might have to slide the color selectors left or right to visually select the desired color. So, if for example, you have a blue fringe, you could slide the color selectors to the left so instead of surrounding purple, they now surround more blue-ish colors. Sometimes when you do this however, some areas are "corrected" from blue to something else that should NOT be corrected. So, you have to "protect" the areas that shouldn't be corrected. This blog post explains it all: http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2012/04/new-color-fringe-correction-controls.html

Hi all! What is the best way to create the correct space for baseball jersey names and numbers? along with making sure they are the right size for large printing.

Buying more hard drive space is a very valid option, here. Editing takes up lots of room, you should never discount the idea of adding more when you need it.
Another possibility is exporting to MXF OP1a using the AVC-I codec. It's not lossless, but it is Master quality. Plus the file size is a LOT smaller, so it may suit your needs.

Is there a way to list the next 5 appointments on my calendar in the notification area?

is there a way to list the next 5 appointments on my calendar in the notification area?

I had that on but it doesn't show anything the reminder only shows up if the event has a reminder set for a specific time. I want to straight up see the next 1,5,... Events in list form. This may not be possible but it would be great. Just like when you are in calendar and display by list.

Premier Elements 11 icons near the notification area.

Premier Elements 11 puts red icons on the taskbar near the notification area. What are these and why are they not removed when the application is closed? The only way they "go away" is to restart the computer.

I wish that I could offer some help, but have not observed any icons being added. It might be something that I felt was common behavior, and did not pay close attention to it/them, or maybe something that I have just never seen.
Perhaps others will recognize those icons, from the description, and be of more help.
One question:
They apparently relate to something that was in my project; an adjustment to a video clip perhaps. If I right click on one of the icons a menu pops up.
When you clicked on those icons, and got a pop-up menu, what did that menu contain? That might be helpful in others recognizing what the icons relate to.
Good luck,

I have lightroom 5.7. Now I have apple TV to connect my Mac to the TV scree. I wish to do a slide show on the TV. However, on the Mac, using ITunes to share photos with the TV, I cannot locate all photo files. What is the best way to save the slide show and put it where the Mac sharing can find it? So far, I made on one folder in Lightroom, put some photos there and I found them easily. Can this be done with a slide show? Please help quickly! Also worried that the photos I put on the new folder are hard to find afterwards, when the show is done. Where do they go when I delete from from the new folder?I am not alone

Not that I'm aware of. You just export JPEG copies to a folder that you can point iTunes to. For instance, I have created a folder in my Pictures folder called Apple TV. And within that folder I have other folders of pictures that I can choose from in iTunes to share with Apple TV. But there doesn't seem to be any way to share a Lightroom slideshow. If you have laid to create a video file that would probably work. Apple TV is a little clunky in my opinion. Some things are a little more difficult to do now than they were a while back. I probably haven't provided you with much help, but just keep experimenting and I think you will figure it out.

What is the best way to mimic the data from production to other server?

Hi,
here we user streams and advanced replication to send the data for 90% of tables from production to another production database server. if one goes down can use another one. is there any other best option rather using the streams and replication? we are having lot of problems with streams these days they keep break and get calls.
I heard about data guard but dont know what is use of it? please advice the best way to replicate the data.
Thanks a lot.....

RAC, Data Guard. The first one is active-active, that is, you have two or more nodes accessing the same database on shared storage and you get both HA and load balancing. The second is active-passive (unless you're on 11.2 with Active Standby or Snapshot Standby), that is one database is primary and the other is standby, which you normally cannot query or modify, but to which you can quickly switch in case primary fails. There's also Logical Standby - it's based on Streams and generally looks like what you seem to be using now (sort of.) But it definitely has issues. You can also take a look at GoldenGate or SharePlex.

Best Way to port the data from one DB to another DB using Biztalk

Hi,
please suggest best way to move the data from one db to another DB using biztalk.
Currently I am doing like that, for each transaction(getting from different source tables) through receive port, and do some mapping (some custom logic for data mapping), then insert to target normalized tables(multiple tables) and back to update the status
of transaction in source table in sourceDB. It is processing one by one.
How/best we we can do it using bulk transfer and update the status. Since it has more than 10000 transaction per call.
Thanks,
Vinoth

Hi Vinoth,
For SQL Bulk inserts you can always use SQL Bulk Load
adapter.
http://www.biztalkgurus.com/biztalk_server/biztalk_blogs/b/biztalksyn/archive/2005/10/23/processing-a-large-flat-file-message-with-biztalk-and-the-sqlbulkinsert-adapter.aspx
However, even though a SQL Bulk Load adapter can efficiently insert a large amount of data into SQL you are still stuck with the issues of transmitting the
MessageBox database and the memory issues of dealing with really large messages.
I would personally suggest you to use SSIS, as you have mentioned that records have to be processed in specific time of day as opposed to when the
records are available.
Please refer to this link to get more information about SSIS: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms141026.aspx
If you have any more questions related to SSIS, please ask it in
SSIS
forum and you will get specific support.

What is the best way to export the data out of BW into a flat file on the S

Hi All,
We are BW 7.01 (EHP 1, Service Pack Level 7).
As part of our BW project scope for our current release, we will be developing certain reports in BW, and for certain reports, the existing legacy reporting system based out of MS Access and the old version of Business Objects Release 2 would be used, with the needed data supplied from the BW system.
What is the best way to export the data out of BW into a flat file on the Server on regular intervals using a process chain?
Thanks in advance,
- Shashi

Hello Shashi,
some comments:
1) An "open hub license" is required for all processes that extract data from BW to a non-SAP system (including APD). Please check with your SAP Account Executive for details.
2) The limitation of 16 key fields is only valid when using open hub for extracting to a DB table. There's no such limitation when writing files.
3) Open hub is the recommended solution since it's the easiest to implement, no programming is required, and you don't have to worry much about scaling with higher data volumes (APD and CRM BAPI are quite different in all of these aspects).
For completeness, here's the most recent documentation which also lists other options:

Best way to Fetch the record

Hi,
Please suggest me the best way to fetch the record from the table designed below. It is Oracle 10gR2 on Linux
Whenever a client visit the office a record will be created for him. The company policy is to maintain 10 years of data on the transaction table but the table holds record count of 3 Million records per year.
The table has the following key Columns for the Select (sample Table)
Client_Visit
ID Number(12,0) --sequence generated number
EFF_DTE DATE --effective date of the customer (sometimes the client becomes invalid and he will be valid again)
Create_TS Timestamp(6)
Client_ID Number(9,0)
Cascade Flg vahrchar2(1)
On most of the reports the records are fetched by Max(eff_dte) and Max(create_ts) and cascade flag ='Y'.
I have following queries but the both of them are not cost effective and takes 8 minutes to display the records.
Code 1:
SELECT   au_subtyp1.au_id_k,

Hi Justin,
Thanks for your reply. I am running this on our Test environment as I don't want to run this on Production environment now. The test environment holds 2809605 records (2 Million).
The query output count is 281699 (2 Hundred Thousand) records and the selectivity is 0.099. The Distinct values of create_ts, eff_dte, and exists_flg is 2808905 records. I am sure the index scan is not going to help out much as you said.
The core problem is both queries are using lot of Temp tablespace. When we use this query to join the tables, the other table has the same design as below so the temp tablespace grows bigger.
Both the production and test environment are 3 Node RAC.

What is the best way to share the High Res images ...

What is the best way to share the High Res images on my Nokia Lumia 1020? My Android friends really want to see the original ~12MB images taken with Nokia Pro Camera?
-Paul
Solved!
Go to Solution.

if you have the att device, then use your att locker.
ANYONE can sign up for the att locker here:
https://locker.att.net/app/#welcome
even if you do not have ATT service, you should sign up NOW.
There is an application that is pre-installed to allow for the 1020 to upload the full resolution files to the AT&T locker.
AND, because they are launching the 1020, they are giving a free upgrade to the account to the 50GB box instead of the 5GB.
they are doing this for a limited time only, I have created a couple of accounts.
after you create your account, it will have to be verified. after you check your email and verify the box, log back in and you will see it is only a 5gb account.
click on "my Account/upgrade" and choose the 50GB and you should see it say FREE under the cost.
then you can upload the full res pictures and share them that way.
otherwise, if you are within reach, try Bluetooth transfer.

Is there a way to recover the spfile if I remove the spfile?

Hi,
Is there a way to recover the spfile if I remove the spfile?
I did a rman full db backup.
thanks.

You can user RMAN to recover your spfile, see Note 372996.1 Using RMAN to Restore and Recover a Database When the Repository and Spfile/Init.ora Files Are Also Lost, RMAN is able to startup the instance even when there is no spfile/pfile, then you can recover your spfile from your last backup.

Best way to get the values of local variables

What is currently the best way to get the values of local variables. I know it is not currently possible to set watchpoints on local variables, but what are the best workarounds?

You have to use StackFrame methods, eg, visibleVariables and getValues. To get a StackFrame for a thread, that thread has to be suspended, eg, by a BreakpointEvent.

? Best way to remove the notification area "Safely Remove" icon?
