Changing default directory locations

I have Vista RC1 installed on a boot partition of my PC, I have changed the default location of "Documents" to my F: drive. Now I want to be able to change the defult location of "Public" folders, so that the dat ais stored on my G: drive.
I have tried to do this , but when i look at the Properties of Public\Music for example, it will not let me change the location value.
Does anyone know how i can get around this?

How do I change the default drive for downloads and installs to d:\program files or d\program files(x86) in Windows 8? I have installed a ssd boot drive and use it as windows boot and upgrade drive. It's a 300gb drive with 280gb operating space and
95gb free. I don't want programs automatically installing to this drive. I have to keep changing the drive letter during installs (and some installs don't even ask).

JFileChooser - change default directory

Hi all, I've tried reading the tuts for jfilechooser but still am quite lost as how to change the default directory. I'm trying to change the directory to where the .java file is located. Thanks in advance!

JFileChooser Javadoc
public JFileChooser(File currentDirectory)
    Constructs a JFileChooser using the given File as the path. Passing in a null file causes the file chooser to point to the user's default directory. This default depends on the operating system. It is typically the "My Documents" folder on Windows, and the user's home directory on Unix.
    Parameters:
        currentDirectory - a File object specifying the path to a file or directory

Changing default directory for iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.

I need to change the default directory for the files iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml permanently.
It must be relocated from the My Documents directory due to VPN reasons.
Has anybody an idea if this is possible? I could not find a corresponding registry entry.

Using TweakUI to Move or Create Your Library/My Music Location
Use TweakUI (See: ’Disk is locked’ or ‘iTunes folder cannot be found’ when installing or opening iTunes ) to create a 'My Music' folder in a spot where you desire. iTunes should then find this location and deposit its Library files there, and the 'iTunes' folder and sub-folders as well (if you direct it to).
First, see this Article for some background information: What are the iTunes Library files?
If you cannot see the ‘My Music’ folder within the TweakUI drop-down selection, proceed on to the following:
1 On the start menu go to ‘Run’
2 Type in RegEdit
3 Navigate in RegEdit to HKEYCURRENTUSER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
4 Delete any entry for ‘My Music’
5 Navigate up the tree to HKEYCURRENTUSER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
6 Make sure there is an entry for ‘My Music’ and is pointing to C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\My Documents\My Music (you can edit the value by double clicking it)
7 Close RegEdit
8 Reboot
iTunes &/or TweakUI should now be able to find the folder.

Bouncing - Premiere to Audition to Premiere - How to change default save location from Desktop

When I am bouncing from Premiere to Audition "Edit Clip in Audition", and then apply the effect and save the file, it seems to save the file to the desktop. Is there a way to change this default save location? Can't seem to find it in the preferences.
Didn't even realize it was doing this. Desktop was getting pretty cluttered.

You can paste this command in Terminal
defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSDocumentSaveNewDocumentsToCloud -bool false
Or use Mountain Tweaks - click the Mountain Lion tab & it's the sixth item in the left-hand column.
Both will disable the default iCloud save & still let you have access to iCloud if you want it.

How to change default directory of exe file

I have created a VI that reads a template and writes on the template and saves it to a new file. When i created to an exe file, I would like for this exe to be able to be used on any computer. As such, the directory where i will open my template will change on different computers. Hence I am having this problem of how to change my VI such that it will choose this template in a new computer and set it as its default directory.
I understand that in my own computer, I can simple "set current values as default" so that my VI will always open this file from a particular path. But what i need help with is when i put it on another computer where the particular path would definitely be different. I tried using the config file.vi but I could not understand how it is used.
Please assist me in this. Thanks

Hi Aaron,
Micorsoft suggest to use folders like UserAppData to store files for your own programs.
Put your template in there and use GetSystemDir function to get the UserAppData path...
Or you put the template in the program folder or one of it's subfolder (not recommended by MS) and use a relative path to load it...

Moved media to TC. Now itunes keeps changing default library location

I realize this might be better suited in the iTunes discussion forum however...
I recently purchased a time capsule and moved all my media to the new drive. I changed the default library location in preferences. Problem is, every time I quit and relaunch iTunes, the default library location reverts back to my old location on my mac. Any ideas how I can get iTunes to remember my new default location? It's as if it's picking up a location file somewhere that is telling it to create a new library on my mac's hard drive.
Thanks for any input.

I don't have a TC but I also keep my iTunes library on an external Firewire drive and the following is the behaviour. Maybe it's so for you too:
• When the firewire drive is mounted on the desktop and I open iTunes, iTunes will link back to the library on the firewire drive.
• When the firewire drive is unmounted and I open iTunes, iTunes preferences will revert the library to default back to the internet drive.
• BUT, when I remount the firewire drive, and open iTunes again (after it's been closed), iTunes preferences will automatically go back to linking the library on the firewire drive.
So in short: when unmounted, iTunes links music library to the original default which is the internal drive. When mounted, iTunes will automatically relink music back to the firewire drive.
Does it work like so for iTunes on Time Capsule?

Change Default Media Location During Installation

Hello Everyone,
I'm currently working on installing iTunes using command lines to push it to multiple computers in the organization I work for. However, we would like to change the default media location to C:/iTunes (as an example) during installation, instead of it being created in \\server\user\music\iTunes (example). We'd like to change it so it's not storing files on the server and not taking up space on people's personal work shares.
I searched other discussions and Google'd it, but I couldn't find a definitive answer.
We use Windows 7 x64 operating system if that needs to be known.

Hmm, no one here has any idea if this can be done?

Change default directory for Creative files (such as Media Databa

I'm using a Zen xtra with WinXP Pro on my company laptop. The Creative software puts a lot of files (7 MB!) in my user profile under Document and Settings. Unfortunately, this is making my profile larger than my company allows, since they back up the profile over the network.
How can I change the default directory for these file? I can't find any .ini files that might declare the path, and I can't find anything in the Windows Registry that points to my profile.
Help please?
Thanks,
Luke

Thanks for the suggestion of deleting the JetFileBackup folder, Micromouse. I'll try it.
Any other files look deletable? Without any way to move them, I may have to try deleting some and see what happens.
I'm not even sure which Creative programs can be uninstalled (other than Nomad Explorer) and still be able to use MediaSource to play songs from my Zen Xtra (through a USB connection). Windows Add/Remove Programs says that I've used all of these programs today:
Creative Jukebox Driver
Creative MediaSource
Creative MediaSource AudioSync Plugin
Creative MediaSource NOMAD Jukebox 2/3/Zen Plugin
Creative NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra
But all I've done is open MediaSource and start a playlist from my Zen Xtra. Anybody know which of those can be uninstalled without affecting my use? (Maybe this deserves a separate topic.)
Thanks,
Luke

Lightroom keeps changing default import location; how to set it once and for all?

Hi all,
I'm on a mac, and coming from iPhoto. After migrating to Lightroom, I made is so my photos imports from my camera into "/Pictures/LightroomMasters/year/month/day".Now, suddenly, I noticed that they end up in "/Pictures/year/month/day".
I really want Lightroom to keep importing everything inside the "Lightroom Masters"-folder, without me clicking to that location everytime I attach my camera. But going through the Preferences, and Catalouge-settings, I can not find the equivalent of "Default import location". Is there such a setting? Or is Lightroom meant to remember where is imported to last, and keep on using that?
Thanks in advance,
Andreas

It seems to remember the folder structure on my system. But I'm running Windows 7. I just tested it by inserting a memory card and importing the images on it, I don't connect cameras to my computer, to my E drive and to a folder named Pictures 2015. I had LR place these images in a sub-folder of that Picture 2015 with the date in the format of 20150201 and which these picture were taken on the 30th of January so the folder was 20150130. I then closed LR and reopened it and took some more shots around the house and then imported those. LR import dialog went right back to that E drive \Pictures 2015 folder and placed those newer images in a folder named 20150201.
So it remembered which drive and which top level folder it was supposed to. Not sure it it would work with a secondary sub-folder under the Pictures 2015 folder.
To be honest I rarely use the import from memory card feature of LR. I don't care for the naming conventions it offers. I do use the Adobe Photo Downloader applet that comes with PS Bridge as the naming convention in that creates sub-folders with just the month and day in this format 0201. I don't need the year tacked on to the front of that sub-folder name, although it can do that, as I store all my images by years to begin with. Then I import to LR from those folders the APD app creates.
If you are using more than one camera it might remember for each camera so from now on it will go back to the right folder.

How do you change the directory location from the hieachy window.

Our DAQ system consists of 285 vi's. During development changes, some vi's were created and passed to the DAQ via a LAN connection. Pulling up the vi's at the DAQ has changed the desired path such that some come from the LAN virtual drive, while others are resident on the DAQ PC. All have been copied to the PC's hard drive. Viewing the LabView hiearchy, how do I change the directory for a few individual vi's to point at only the PC harddrive? I saw this done once, but forgot how and cannot easy find it in the help files.

When this happens to me I temporarily disconnect the network drive or rename the network folder to force LabVIEW to do a search. If they're all in the same folder as the main VI, they'll be found automatically.

Configuring apache and changing default directory

I'm a new-bee at this..
I started Web sharing but I would like to change location..
And Configuring apache.. :o)
also would like to learn more about apache for beginners LOL :o)
Thank you.. :o)

I edit httpd.conf as you noted.
#DocumentRoot "/Users/imac_willie/Sites"
DocumentRoot "/Volumes/iMac-2/MyWebpages"
#<Directory "/Users/imac_willie/Sites">
<Directory "/Volumes/iMac-2/MyWebpages">
Not working..
In the System Preferences -> Sharing -> Web Sharing
I click on http://10.0.1.2/~imac_willie/ it still points to "/Users/imac_willie/Sites"
The DocumentRoot is the default web page. It does not control the ~/imac_willie location. I'm not sure what you change for that, so I would suggest going to Google for that information.
I did see /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-userdir.conf referenced in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf, however, looking in that file only seemed to specify 'Sites' as in ~username/Sites.
That file also mentions /private/etc/apache2/users/*.conf, as if maybe you can have some kind of per username.conf file that somehow does something, but I do not know what should be in that file, as my system does not have any examples. Again, maybe Google would be helpful.
When I click on http://10.0.1.2/ "Error Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server."
I'm guessing that the permissions on /Volumes/iMac-2/MyWebpages did not allow user _www access to the files (_www is the account that apache runs under).
What are the permissions for /Volumes/iMac-2 and /Volumes/iMac-2/MyWebpages and /Volumes/iMac-2/MyWebpages/index.html ???
Then again, what do you have against /Library/WebServer/Documents?
Nothing in this directory but "index.html.en"
Well you are welcome to put your own stuff there if you like.
NOTE: I'm not an Apache expert, and I do not play one on TV. I have messed with Apache just enough to have a group web site on my Mac at work (in /Library/WebServer/Documents), but not much beyond that.

Changing default save location

In our student labs we need Appleworks to default to SAVE to the Student folder - NOT the documents folder. I cannot find any place to change that setting/preference/location. Lab computers are running Appleworks 6.2.9 and OS 10.4.8.
Thanks, Monica

Hello
You didn't find that because there is no such preference setting.
My own tip is to store blank document or templates in the student folder and ask to the app to save in the source folder.
May you attach the preference file named "com.apple.appleworks.plist" to a mail ans send it to:
koenig then a dot then yvan then an @ then tele2 then a dot then fr
I will be able to compare it to the one available on my machine which default to Desktop.

Change default storage location during creation of PO

Hello all,
I have the following question.
When creating a purchase order using ME21N and filling in the items, the storage location is retreived from the material masterdata and displayed as default.
I need to change this default, because the storage location must be determined in another way.
So when entering the values for the item in the screen, another Stloc needs to be determined and displayed, overwriting the Stloc from the material master data.
For this I probably need a BAPI.
Can anyone tell me which BAPI to use and how I can implement this?
Because I also no experience with BAPI's.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Marco

Hi Van,
You need to goto SE18 -> give 'ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST' in BADI Name - > Click on Enhancement Implementation at the header -> Create -> Give some implementation name starts with 'Z ->provide some short description -> Here you need to click on 'Interface' tab -> and double click on the method which serves your purpose.
I think you need to do the enhancement for storage location so you need to use the method 'PROCESS_ITEM'.

Thanks,
Siva

How to change Host directory location?(Problems with host and ed)

Hi I'm having a problem with the commands Host and Ed. The problem being that when I run them they send back an error saying
SQL>host
/bin/gnome-terminal: No such file or directory
or
SQL> ed
Wrote file /home/joe/Documents/editfile.sql
/bin/gnome-terminal: No such file or directory
The problem is that /bin/gnome-terminal is not the correct location for my terminal directory, /usr/bin/gnome-terminal is. Are there any suggestions how I can be able to change it? I'm running SQLPlus 11.2.0.1.0 and I'm using ElementaryOS(made from Ubuntu). Let me know if there is any other information needed to help fix this.

This is not a SQL or PL/SQL language question and thus off topic. As it is Linux o/s related, I think it is better suited for the Oracle Linux forum space.
My guess is, from the little info posted, that your TERM environment variable is not correctly set.
