Cannot disable compatibility mode for all users once enabled

I work for a school district technology department. For a computer lab that is using an old version of adobe Photoshop, we tried turning compatibility mode to windows xp and set it to run as administrator for all users in hopes that it might fix some problems
with the program. When students log on it now asks them for a password. They do not have local administrator rights to the computers. After going back in and disabling the compatibility settings, the students are still being asked for a password to run the
program. I have even tried uninstalling and reinstalling photoshop and the computer is still asking for a password to open the program. Is there some way to undo this in a permanent fashion so students are not asked for a pssword?

Hello Mike Witnauer,
Please correct me if I have misunderstanding:
1. The student account can ran the Photoshop without administrator password before you turn compatibility mode to Windows XP.
2. Then, the students need the password to run the Photoshop no matter if you use compatible setting.
Please take the following steps and check if this issue still exists.
1. Enable built-in administrator account
2. Use the following code
runas /user:ComputerName\Administrator /savecred "Full path to program's exe file"
For more information, please take a look at the answer in the following thread.

Turn Off Touch Mode for all users

Hello-
I have a terminal services environment and i need to turn off touch mode in Acrobat Reader XI for all users. How can I accomplish this?
TIA

Thanks!
For anyone else looking for this solution:
Install Acrobat on your computer. Open the preferences, general tab and set touch wizard to your desired setting (for me it was never).
Install the Adobe customization wizard(Free download. Just make sur eyou use the same version as the reader you are using).
Launch the adobe customization wizard. FIle open package. Navigate to the install folder and select the .msi file
Once you have the install open go to the registry section and from the local computer copy the HKCU>Software>Adobe>Acrobat Reader>11.0>Touch key into the target computer's registry HKCU>Software>Adobe>Acrobat Reader>11.0 key with the Adobe customization wizard.
Make any other customizations you want.
Save the package.
Now anytime you install from that package all users will get the touch wizard default setting that you set.

Disable right click for all users in a certain group

I would like to disable the right click function for all users in a particular group, regardless of which computer is the domain they log in to. Is there any way to do this? Thanks.

1. Create a new group policy and link it to the OU with the users you want to be affected.
2. Edit the new policy - In the left pane navigate to:
User Configuration \ Administrative Templates \ Windows Components \ Windows Explorer
3. Enable the setting Remove Windows Explorer's Default Context Menu.
Please let me know if you succeeded.

How can I disable pdf.js for all users?

We as a company deal with a lot of PDF files.. Now while we can simply download the PDFs and there not be a problem, we're used to the Adobe Viewer and *not* downloading them.
I've been told the new pdf.js viewer will not display most of the PDFs we throw at it on a day to day basis.
Although there is a way to disable pdf.js (about:config), this only seems to change for the local user. We have FF 19 installed on terminal servers, and would like to know if there is a way to disable it for all users?

hello, can you try it with the method described at [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences]?

Adobe Reader 9.0 - Disable Forms Highlight color show border hover color for fields for all user a

Hello.
I am installing Adobe Reader 9.0 onto a new windows xp corporate build for my company. We would like to have the Forms Preference "Highlight Color" Show border Hover Color for Fields checkbox unchecked by default for any user that logs onto the workstation. (All new WinXP profiles, and if possible, any existing profiles) Is there a registry entry that can be changed to ensure that this option is unchecked by default on our WinXP build?
Thank you.

bumping thread...
I have downloaded the Adobe Reader 9.0 Custom Wizard install creator tool, but it still appears that I will need to know what registry key to change/import into the installer for this preference to be disabled by default for all users of the workstation that Adobe Reader 9.x is installed onto.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Disable JRE Auto update in Vista for all users?

I feel like a complete idiot that I can't figure this out, but it's either so obvious I'm overlooking it, or I just plain can't figure it out, so I'm hoping someone here can help.
We have not yet been able to figure out how to simply disabled the Auto Update option when installing JRE under Vista, so it will never check for updates, no matter what user is logged into a pc. I've just installed the newest version 1.6.0_05-b13, but get the same results.
Basically, we are creating a "base clone image" of a Vista workstation and we need the auto update feature of the JRE to be disabled so it doesn't check for updates. When a new user logs into the pc, we want them to 'inherit' this setting from the default user profile, or we simply want a 'global' setting on the pc that stops all JAVA update checks from occuring. But even though there are multiple registry keys that 'look' like they control the auto update function, no matter how we set them the update option still shows it is enabled when you open the JAVA control panel.
We have 2 basic problems:
- When a standard user runs the JAVA Control Panel applet and they select the 'Update' tab, the option to "uncheck" autoupdates is "grayed out". If we make the user a local administrator, then it is not grayed out anymore and they can set the option. Problem is, we have thousands of users and none of them are local administrators, hence the problem of getting it to already be defaulted to not check for updates. How do we get the update checkbox to NOT be grayed out for a NON-administrator?
- How do we set the 'global' (or default) option to disable the auto update checkbox for ALL users? No matter what we try, when a new user logs in, the auto update feature is still enabled after their initial profile is generated from the first time login.
I was able to figure out if I change the "EnableJavaUpdate" value in the below registry key, it will "remove" the Update tab from the JAVA Control Panel. But does the simply remove the tab? Or does it remove the tab AND disable auto updates for ALL users on the computer?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Update\Policy
I've sent multiple emails to Sun asking for help on what should be a simple thing to do, but have never received a reply from them.
Keith Hemmelman

Thank you for the reply. I apologize for not getting back here sooner.
We actually already use a deployment.properties file located under the Default User profile on our Vista setup. It's located under the "C:\Users\Default\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment" folder. This file does get copied over to a new user profile when a new person logs in. This is what we want since we have set things like the maximum cache size and temporary file location.
The problem though is there is no setting that disables the automatic update check within this file. The best I can figure out is that for some reason under the Vista environment, the auto update setting is controlled in the registry at: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JavaSoft\Java Update\Policy
There is a REG_BINARY key there that appears to control this option. It is named "EnableAutoUpdateCheck". The problem is that the value of this key is "several" characters long and it is "different" from one user to the next. I tried disabling auto update under the Java Control Panel and then copied the value of this key into the same aread of the Default User hive but when a new user logs in, it ignores that setting and auto update is still enabled. I also tried using a simple "0" to disable the autoupdate or a "1" to enable it for this key, but it doesn't work either. (This is very frustrating why there isn't a simple 1 or 0 setting to turn the auto update setting on/off.)
We had no problem getting this to work under XP. Basically we didn't have to do anything special in XP. We simply created a temporary user account and made all the settings we wanted and then copied that profile over to our Default User profile and the Java autoupdate setting under the Java Control Panel was disabled for all new users. We did the same thing under Vista, but the auto update setting was ignored and re-enabled for all new users.
I read through the settings for the deployment.properties file located at the below link, but there is nothing there to control the auto update setting.
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/deployment/deployment-guide/properties.html
Thus, we can't get the auto update setting to be disabled in the default user profile so it will in turn be disabled for all new users that log into the computer. This is extremely frustrating.
The other equally frustrating problem we have run into under the Vista environment is that when you run the Java Control Panel, the option to disable the auto update check is "grayed out" and the user can't uncheck this option to disable auto update. We have found you must be an administrator before this option is no longer grayed out. Since none of our thousands of users are admins, this is also a problem for us. (This option works fine for a standard user if you are on a XP machine though. It's just Vista where things have changed.)
I've sent repeated emails to Sun in the past asking for help, but they never replied.

How do I completely disable initial "Checking Compatibility of Add-ons" pop-up for all users on a Citrix server where the FireFox was upgraded to 29.0.1

I have a set of Citrix servers, we need to upgrade the FireFox on them to 29.0.1
When I have done this, and a user runs FireFox, now the users are being presented with a pop-up "Checking Compatibility of Add-ons" which delays the start of FireFox.
I need to prevent this so users just see FireFox start up without any delays.
I have installed the add-on that re-enables extensions.checkCompatibility and tried various ways of implementing it like pref("extensions.checkCompatibility", false);
However we seem to have a situation where the add-on that enables the setting is not loaded yet so the setting is not implemented.
How do I solve this for all users?

You can try to set the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone pref to ignore on the about:config
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone
You can use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to specify new (default) values and possibly lock prefs.
Place a local-settings.js file in the defaults\pref folder where also the channel-prefs.js file is located to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

SNR License Issue. How Can I Disable SNR for all Users?

Hi,
I Have an issue with SNR on CUCM 10.5 and with assignement of license type
I have a cluster with 400 users.
200 users use ip phone 3905 and should be use an Essential License.
When system check for assignement of license type , itassign a Basic License instead of an Essential License, because it see that users have SNR Enabled.
All users in my system have SNR enabled, and I can not disable it. All my user have Enable Mobility unchecked, and all my phone have Device Mobility Off, but system however see SNR enable.
How can i disable SNR for all users? This is a feature that client don't need.
I dont' have a sufficent number of licenses for support all 3905 in Basic License.
thanks for help.
Andrea

Well actually, Mobile Identity wouldn't apply to a 3905 unless those phones had another line on a Dual-Mode device like an iPhone or Android phone. So unless you have either of those in your system you can scratch that idea. Someone else may chime in here and try to help a bit more as RD/RDP are the main SNR culprits.

How to disable tabs in titlebar for all users?

I want to disable tabs in title bar for all users, because looks ugly http://i57.tinypic.com/33nkm77.png
I type to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\local-settings.js
pref("browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar", false);
It doesn't work, but any other options in this file works fine.
Setting with about:config works fine, but only for currrent user.

I think that preference refers to what happens when you have Firefox maximized and you do not display either the classic menu bar or the title of the page in that area: the tabs slide up to the top.
I agree the double-high blue area is irritating. To modify that, I think you need to do one of these:
* Change the Windows XP color theme (I always preferred Silver)
* Create a custom style rule to modify the appearance of the tab bar (so the blue does not show through it)
* Find a Firefox theme that fixes that area (e.g., [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/themes/])
I haven't researched the second and third options in detail.

How can I disable javascript in Firefox 30 for all users on my Solaris 10 x86 box?

I have a Solaris 10 box in a secure environment (no Internet) with Firefox 30 installed. I need to lock javascript in a disabled state for all users. I realize each individual user can toggle javascript with about:config, but that is only a per/user activity. I want to set the value of javascript.enabled to false for all users. Additionally, no user should be able to modify this setting.
Is there a location with a config or prefs file that will affect all users?
