Change default homepage for all windows terminal user profiles

would like to change homepage,bookmarks,proxy settings for all user profiles on windows server 2003/2008

You can use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify new (default) values.
Place a file local-settings.js in the defaults\pref folder where you also find the file channel-prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
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

Firefow redirects a specific homepage for my Windows 7 user profile

I use Firefox at a Windows 7 machine. When I try to open the webpage "mtts.dk" firefox redirects to "mtts.dk/baker" - this only happens when my profile are loggon on the machine.
This redirect was the former redirect for my homepage, which has been build with my user profile in Wondows. But the redirect has been changed now in cpanel, but Firefox seems to remember the old redirect for my user profile.
Do you know a solution for deleting/updating this memory?

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
1. Clear Firefox's Cache
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
2. If needed, delete the mtts.dk cookies here
While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try loading the URL you want. Does that help?

Setting the Default Homepage for all current and new users but leave it user modifiable.

I am in the process of creating our new Windows Deployment Image based on Windows 7. Previously I was able to use the browserconfig.properties file in the Firefox main program files directory to change the default homepage for all new profiles while still allowing the user of any given profile to change their homepage. I have not yet found any equivilent in FireFox 4. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Changing Default language for all users

Hi ,
We have upgraded EP 6.0 to EP 7.0 . After the upgrade when users are logging into the portal default langauge is being set from the browser .
I want to set the default langauge to EN for all the users. My prtDefault.properties file already contains following entry :
This is the default language to be used when none is specified
request.defaultlanguage=en
request.defaultcountry=us
Do I also need to ADD
request.mandatorylanguage=en
request.mandatorycountry=us
properties in this file ? Please suggest.
Regards,
Ganesh

Hi Ganesh,
Can u pl post how you solved this.

Change default size for Spotlight window

Hit +space, type query, click "Show All".
Window you get always small and narrow - needs adjusting all the time.
Even more insulting - it's not reacting on 'Zoom' menu command or 'green button'.
The only way is to drag it's corner.
What I'm looking for:
change it's default prefs, so I'd always start with a bigger window, which I only seldom need to adjust.
P.S. there is a very similar topic http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1729859, but they lost their way and never addressed this issue.

Start with http://www.pinkmutant.com/articles/Leopard/leospot.html and my mod to Finder's Find at http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6725932 for what you can change so you can find stuff excluded by the default structure. Whether either of those address your specific problem, I'm not sure, but should get you going in the right direction. Do note that I favor CMD+F over CMD+spacebar.

Change Default Application For "All" Isn't Permanent

Hi,
I attempted to search for this problem in the forums but don't have time to drill down and that's why we are all here anyway (i.e. to help each other) so here goes. When I change the default application by clicking "open with" and then specify Adobe Reader and then click the "change all" button, PDF's will open with Adobe Reader until I reboot. Then I have to repeat the entire process.
What am I missing? I have done this like 30 times & can't find any documentation that describes the issue. I Googled the issue but didn't get any hits so I'm not sure if it's a known glitch or if I'm just being a blonde.
Thanks

Hi,
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions...
Reset Launch Services...
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/resetlaunchservices.html#Anchor-Reset-47857
Reboot.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.
Try your steps one more time if needed.

Is there a simple way to set the homepage for all users?

We are in a high school environment with 500 plus computers and would like to set the school newspaper website as the default homepage for all users of all computers.

Make firefox default browser for all users without firefox checking for default browser

Hi,
we have 2 citrix servers in the same farm . We want to make firefox the default browser for all of our users.We also want to ignore the settings that they decide themselves influencing the default browser. 
Now the citrix forum suggested that i made a gpo that edits the folowing register keys:
HKCR\http\shell\open\command Change the value in the default key to firefox.exe location. 
HKCR\http\shell\open\ddeexec Change the value in the default key to Firefox HKCR\https\shell\open\command Change the value in the default key to firefox.exe location. 
HKCR\https\shell\open\ddeexec Change the value in the default key to Firefox
so i did that , and all our links now open through firefox. 
However we still get the question to make firefox our default browser while it already is defined as default browser since it opens links using firefox.
the 2nd strange thing we encountered is when we open pdf's using firefox , firefox opens but the pdf's won't open untill we make firefox default browser using the provided popup window when we start firefox 
i have googled this for days now without a proper answer . i even tried to run the "firefox.exe -silent -setDefaultBrowser" command to fix it on my personal profile without any luck.that's why i am relying on your answer

Just in case, check this article for the missing information

How can I resize and reposition the Date Created window for All windows?

When setting view options for a finder window set to list view, I cannot get column resizing or positioning to hold. When making those changes, the option for "All Windows" automatically shifts to "This window only" and it then does not hold.

How do you set default programs for all users when deploying Windows 8.1?

I have my Windows 8.1 image set up the way I want including the start screen, theme, etc. But how can I set the default programs for all users. Most of out computers are non-touch and I want the desktop apps (e.g. Windows Photo Viewer), not the store apps
to be the default for opening pictures, videos, etc. Can that be done?

Great question, this has been bugging me too!
So, I did some research by using "Set Default Programs" app in Windows 8. Then I ran the super ProcMon.exe tool from Sysinternals.com <Thanks Mark!>
After filtering out the junk, I could see some *interesting* writes to the registry:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.jpg\UserChoice]
"Hash"="57y87/ogggU="
"ProgId"="PhotoViewer.FileAssoc.Jpeg"
But the "Hash" part had me concerned. I did some internet searching for the hash, and came across a post and a pointer to a blog with some answers. This is both good news and bad.
Background:
One of the problems with Windows XP is that any program can come in and party on the entire system. No, I don't want you to put a shortcut on the desktop, install a crappy IE Toolbar, and change the default file association for *.jpg files to your app, I
just wanted to play a stupid game. Since Windows 7, Microsoft has been attempting to block that functionality from the stupid applications, and give them back to the user. Take note of the last line in the ITaskbarList3 interface:
Applications cannot programmatically pin themselves to the taskbar. That functionality is reserved strictly for the user.
Of course that sucks for us IT Pros who may wish to create *default* working environments for corporate images, but there are some tricks we can do.
Solution:
This blog appears to have the answer:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/mrmlcgn/archive/2013/02/26/windows-8-associate-a-file-type-or-protocol-with-a-specific-app-using-a-gpo-e-g-default-mail-client-for-mailto-protocol.aspx
New for Windows 8 is a dism command: /Get-DefaultAppAssociations that allows you to export a control case from a known good computer. Microsoft the supports importing the exported xml file via GPO. For example, before I changed the file association, .AVI
was pointing to the Modern App, after the change the /export-DefaultAppAssociations shows change to the new app:
From:
<Association Identifier=".avi" ProgId="AppXhjhjmgrfm2d7rd026az898dy2p1pcsyt" ApplicationName="Video" />
To:
<Association Identifier=".avi" ProgId="VLC.avi" ApplicationName="VLC media player" />
I am still doing some investigation to see if a GPO is required, or if you can inject the association into a local user account. Also, if you do have some Modern Windows 8 Touch Tablets, it would recomend keeping most of the Modern App defaults in place,
perhaps seperate GPO's for Desktops/Laptops vs Tablets?

Block all websites apart from the homepage for all users. Citrix environment with Server 2003.

Citrix Xenapp 5 and Windows server 2003 environment. We want to force Firefox to kiosk mode with a pre-set homepage for all users. I also want to lock this to only one website. I have managed to set up the kiosk mode with R-Kiosk addon and Mozilla.cfg file. I am trying to use BlockSites to block all internet sites and only allow the one site with the whitelist option. I can get the addon to install for all users, but can’t get the default settings across. I have tried to add this with the Mozilla.cfg file, but it looks like this addon is getting it’s settings from the profile folder. If I set the preferences for the addon in Mozilla,cfg file, it actually picks it up but it doesn’t apply it to the addon for some reason. Does anyone have any other ideas on how I can lock this down to the one site?

I am not entirely sure how to do this, but the enterprise community would be a good place to ask. They have a email group you can ask on this page: [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/faq/]

How to set the default settings for all users in 11.1.1.3

I have couple of questions
1. How can I change the default setting for all the users so that whenever they log in the planning takes them to the Task lists mode. Or is this a one time thing which they need to do individually ?
2. How can I set the defalut setting for all the users so that they can see the same page when they log into Workspace ?

For workspace have a read of - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/bpmui_admin/assigning_default_preferences.html
For planning you can't really set it without hacking tables.
Cheers

You could download and install RCDefaultApp 2.1 for all users: check the Read Me and then test it on something to see if it accomplishes what you want.

Set a default layout for all users via DIAPI

Hello everyone,
I am attempting to set a default report for all users/business partners using the DI-API.
I can accomplish this in the B1 application via Tools> Layout Designer...>Set as Default
If there are entries in the RDFL table for this layout, I am prompted to delete these entries and set this layout as the default for all users/BP's
Based on the SDK Documentation, the following code should accomplish the same thing via the DI-API
(stripped down for clarity)
Dim oDefaultReportParams As DefaultReportParams
oDefaultReportParams = oLayoutService.GetDataInterface(ReportLayoutsServiceDataInterfaces.rlsdiDefaultReportParams)
oDefaultReportParams.LayoutCode = sMyLayoutCode
oDefaultReportParams.ReportCode = sMyReportCode
Me.oLayoutService.SetDefaultReport(oDefaultReportParams)
Code executes fine, but it doesn't have the expected impact on settings. The above code adds an entry to the RDFL table rather than changing the DfltReport field in the RTYP table like I expected, so instead of setting the default report globally for all bps/users, its adding an entry to the RDFL table to set the value for a specific user/bp
I experimented by including and setting the following properties to every combination I could think of with the same results
oDefaultReportParams.UserID = 'tried 1, 0, -1
oDefaultReportParams.CardCode = 'tried "", "0", "-1"
Am I misunderstanding the API, or using the wrong objects/calls...? If all else fails I could accomplish this via the UI-API instead, but the application was intended to be a stand alone app that didn't rely on SAP B1 application running, so any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
