Can I prevent applications to re-open windows at launching

When I quit an application (safari, photoshop...) with opened windows, when I relauch the application, all the old windows reopen, I'd rather to have a "fresh start" with no old window, how can I do ?
Thanks

Go to System Preferences -> General and untick the box where it says "Restore windows when quiting and re-opening apps"

    At UC platform i can see some applications are installed on Windows server and some directly to VMWare. Pls explain?

    Pretty much all newer versions of UC applications have started supporting virtualization so they can be installed on the VMware. 
    Have a look at dockwiki for virtualization supported apps:
    http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Unified_Communications_Virtualization_Supported_Applications
    Some applications like CUCM version 4 were windows based previously but going ahead with version 5, 6 onwards the OS has been changed to Linux Operating system.
    Let me know if you need any more information.

  • How can I prevent Applications from being copied to external drive?

    Hello,
    Just a quick one...
    I run a studio in an education evironment. We've got quite a lot of software installed on our machines (Mac OS X 10.7.4) and there's always the chance that students will copy applications from the Applications folder onto an external drive to take home!
    Obviously this is becoming increasingly easy with large USB sticks and Applications which are entirely contained in the Applications folder.
    Is there any way that students can still run these applications during class but prevent them from copying the whole applications?
    With thanks in advance,
    Lawrence

    You can hide the Applications folder, but it isn't a total solution. Open Terminal and type:
    cd /
    sudo chflags hidden /Applications

  • How can I dock icons for every opened windows?

    Hello all,
    First time poster here and first time owner of Mac.  I want to know how I can get all opened windows to show as icons on the dock.  On a Windows OS, any opened window will have an icon on the Taskbar.  Does a Mac OS have the same feature?  And no, I don't want to use the old Expose.  I want to be able to get to an opened window that is hidden behind another window by just one click, instead of moving windows around (so that I can get my intended window to be where I can click on it), or instead of using Expose.
    One way to get the opened windows to appear on the dock is to miminize it.  I find that to be burdensome, especially if you're openeing a lot of windows quickly.  I want to be able to switch between opened windows in just one click.
    Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

    You need to either control-click on the application's Dock icon and then regularly click on the item representing that window, or to click and hold the application's icon until the menu appears, and then releasing the button when the cursor is over the menu item.

  • Can you prevent a pdf from opening if a user has javascript disabled?

    I have code that is important to always be running in a pdf file for corporate security reasons.  I understand some users may choose not to allow scripting which is fine but in those cases I do not want the user to be allowed to open the file.  Is there a way to prevent the file from opening if javascript is disabled?
    Thanks in advance.

    No. However, you can have a layer covering the content of the file which can be made hidden using JS code when the file is opened.
    But the user will still be able to hide the layer manually.

  • How can I turn all of my open windows into tabs?

    There seem to be tons of resources to turn tabs into windows but I would like to turn my ridiculous amount of open windows into tabs so that I can use the many addons to organize tabs but can't seem to find anything. Help, please. Thanks.

    The manual way is to click and drag the tab from the tab bar of one window to the tab bar of the window where you want to move the tab. As you hover over the bar a heavy upward pointing appear should appear at the base of the tab bar showing where the tab will be inserted (i.e., between some tabs already in that window, or at the end of the bar). Does that make sense?
    (Note: it's easier if you un-maximize the "source" window and pull down the top of the window so you can see the "destination" window behind it.)
    Not sure if there is a more automated way to do it.

  • Can you prevent Firefox from EVER opening a new window without approval?

    Many websites open a new advertising window when you click ANYWHERE on the webpage. On occasion they are so ill-behaved that they effectively hijack your browser, not allowing you to close the window or navigate away, and rather than risk getting a virus I usually kill Firefox from the task manager... not exactly an ideal way to shut down!
    Is there any way to get Firefox to ask my permission before opening a new window, or ideally let me add websites to a whitelist so they are allowed to open new windows, or less ideally let me add websites to a blacklist so they are NEVER allowed to open new windows?
    I am well aware that this is "normal" behavior and unfortunately falls outside of the controls that prevent pop-ups, because in some cases you DO want to allow a website to open a new window, but in my experience this is the exception and not the rule so forcing me to approve the new window would be nice, but as I said being able to whitelist approved sites would be ideal.

    Thanks, dmcritchie! On your advice I have been using ADP for a couple of weeks, and I think that took care of my problem!

  • How can I prevent Word 2013  from opening a PDF file to edit it?

    As per the title - I create training manuals in MS Word and save as PDF for distribution to clients.
    How cna I prevent them from opening and editing them with Word 2013?

    You can restrict editing and printing of a PDF document by setting permissions when you create the initial PDF. This can be done as:
    Open Word document to convert.
    Go to Acrobat tab on Word ribbon -> Select Preferences button.
    On Security tab of the Preferences dialog, tick mark the check box for "Restrict editing and printing of the document. A password will be required in order to change these permission settings."
    Specify a password in "Change Permissions Password" tex box.
    Click OK.
    Input the password again in the confirmation dialog.
    Go to "Create PDF" button.
    The PDF thus created, will have editing restricted. And Word 2013 will not be able to open it.
    Thanks.

  • Firefox always on top, can't alt-tab to other open windows/apps

    I have updated to 11.0, windows vista. I didn't notice or have this problem before the update. for example if I have firefox open and click on my calculator, the only way I can see it is to minimize firefox. I cannot alt-tab to it nor can I click the icon in my status bar of windows.???
    I have looked through the settings, I didn't see an always on top option, but that's what it seems like.
    Any and all info will be appreciated.
    TIA,

    When I restarted in safe mode, the firefox window was no longer stuck on top. Restarted again (firefox was set to "show my windows and tabs from last time" for both restarts) in regular mode and it stayed fixed. Maybe just a restart where "show my windows and tabs from last time" is firefox start up setting would fix stuck on top problem?

  • In the Calendar app in Yosemite, how can I prevent the event's details window to disappear when transferring focus to another app?

    When you click on an event to get the full details in a separate window, like a phone number for the meeting, if you move to another app like Skype the details window hides and you cannot look at the comments.
    This is kind of annoying.

    It's not iDVD that opens when you insert a burned DVD,  It's DVD Player.  Set the Apple preferences to igonre when inserting a video DVD.  You will have to launch DVD Ripper manually and locate and open the VOB folder on the DVD disk.

  • How can I prevent my iPhone4 from opening the 'next' e-mail when I delete an e-mail?

    Subject says it all. When viewing an e-mail, I delete it. Rather than just going back to the list of e-mails, my iPhone opens up another unread e-mail (seems to sometimes open a newer one, and sometimes an older one). I don't want it to do that.

    You can't change this.  http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

  • When i open a new tab in Firefox, the yahoo website will open automatically in this tab. How can i prevent any website from opening in my new tabs? I just want to open an empty tab.

    You click on new tab, a new tab opens, but the tab is opened as the yahoo homepage.
    I accidentally downloaded the yahoo toolbar as malware the other day. This toolbar is really imposible to remove. It's not in the sofware add/remove menu, i've tried with several anti-malware sofware, they didn't succeed.
    Now, i already made the toolbar invisible, but it still has a place in the firefox menu at the top of the browser, and like i said, it keeps opening itself in a new tab.

    A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
    If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.

  • Why does iChat re-open windows on launch?

    Many times when I'm finished using iChat I will quit the application with a number of open chat windows. The next time I open iChat it re-creates those windows again, although they're all empty with none of the text that was in the windows when I quit the app.
    Now, I don't WANT that old text; I have no reason to save my chats, but it annoys me to no end that every time I open iChat it brings back those blank windows. If I chose to SAVE all my chats then this might make sense, but since I don't care, why is it doing this? This is the only app I know that behaves like this.
    I want to know how I can stop this behavior, so that every time I open iChat there are NO chat windows open at all. Just because I talked to someone yesterday doesn't necessarily mean I'll talk to that person again today. I don't see anything in the preferences to control this, and I don't want to have to close all my windows before quitting; that's ridiculous. Ideas anyone?

    HI,
    If you are 10.6.2 I would download and Install th Combo version of the Update over what you have.
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosxv1062updatecomb o.html
    In these Blank windows I take it they are listing some reference to the Buddies that were involved as you say those you may have spoken yesterday are not always going to be spoken today (Or something close to that.)
    If not, does using Show Participants reveal any other info ?
    I may not post again 'til tomorrow my time
