Changing default picture viewer via GPO without changing image type and icon (Windows 7)

Hello,
I am trying to change the default picture viewer for some file extensions (.bmp, .jpeg, .png and .tiff). Actually Windows Photo Viewer is the default viewer and we need to replace it with Microsoft Office Picture Manager.
I managed to do that change via GPO using the 'open with' preference under User Configuration\ Preferences\Control Panel Settings\Folder Options. So now the files are opened with Microsoft Office Picture Manager (office 2010). The problem is that the image
type became 'OIS.EXE' for all the specified file extensions. Moreover the icon is now the same (Microsoft Office 2010).
When I change manually the associated program for a file extension, the icon change but no the image type... this is different using GPO.
Is there a solution in order to change the default program but keeping the image type and associated icon ?
I tried to do that modification using the 'new file type' preference under Computer Configuration\Preferences\Control Panel Settings\Folder Options. I specified the 'open' action for OIS.exe, selected file extension BMP with associated class 'Bitmap Image'.
It solves the problem for image type, Microsoft Office Picture Manager opens the files ... but I have to specify the icon file path and icon index and I don't know where I can find the default icons for the file extensions ...
What is the best solution ? Am I right ? Am I doing something wrong ?
Thank you in advance !

Hello,
thank you very much for your answers.
For the rollback, I will reimport the original/default keys for all the image types, this should be ok.
Here are the problems I have trying to pu Microsoft Office Picture Manager as default picture viewer (I just want .bmp, .jpg ... files to be opened with Microsoft Office Picture Manager by default).
1 Using new file type under Computer Configuration\Preferences\Control Panel Settings\folder options. : I define a new file type (BMP for example), associated class Bitmap Image, I configure the icon (imageres.dll,65) and an open action where OIS.EXE
is the application used to perform the action.
Result : Icon is correct, file type is correct, image files are opened with OIS.EXE (correct) ... BUT now Microsoft Office 2010 appears twice in open or open with menu
2 Using new open with under User configuration\Preferences\Control Panel Settings\Folder Options : new open with preference, action (update or replace same result), file extension BMP, associated program (path to OIS.EXE), i check set as default.
Result : Office 2010 opens image files (correct) but icon is Office 2010 one and the file type is now 'OIS.EXE' for all image file extensions I have specified ... so it won't be possible to sort the file by image type if I select that method...
3 Using ftype : OIS.EXE doesn't open the file when I double click on it but Microsoft Office 2010 appears twice in the open or open with list ...
I am a bit lost ... what is the best method to put Microsoft Office Picture Manager as default picture viewer, keeping the image type (Bitmap image, JPEG image etc) and without having Microsoft Office 2010 twice in the open or open with list ??
Last question : by default an image file is opened and previewed with Windows Photo viewer and edited with Paint. I would like just to open images with Office 2010 but keep Windows Photo viewer for preview and Paint for edit ... Is it possible ??
Thank you in advance for any help and support !!

How to deploy disabled Firefox as the default PDF viewer via GPO

I am trying to change the settings of 204 Windows 7 PCs. They all use Firefox and with have Adobe Acrobat XI. I would like to know how to use the Mozilla Administrative Template or how to create a GPO to change the default pdf viewer in Firefox to Acrobat XI.

I'm having this problem too, except I'm trying to push it out to 400 PC's with 2-10 users per PC. i need a way to be able to configure it so when a user logs into the PC via our domain login Firefox will be automatically configured to open PDF's from Firefox in an Adobe Reader window, otherwise we have to manually configure it like FredMcD said, and that gets very frustrating after the 2nd PC

Default picture viewer program

Hi people,
I´ve tried to reset my default picture viewer program from Preview to XEE, I can do that in "show info", with the "open with/ change all" button.
However, next time I reboot it will be back to the "preview" default.
Any ideas?
Does Snow Leopard´s preview "next" and "previous" arrows function?
I just want to open up a picture in any folder and go next and previous with the arrows........I´m still on Leopard now.
Any help is appreciated!
Not a Clue.

Hang on,
I might be on to something here...........
I disabled the File Vault, changed the settings once again (pics with XEE, .doc documents with pages), rebooted a few times for test purposes, and SUCCES!!
Getting more confident I enabled the File Vault again and it still seems to remember XEE & Pages as my preferences!
For now..........
Weird! I hope I don´t have to disable the file vault every time I want to change an "open with" preference.
Hope this helps for others.........perhaps.
Cheers,

QuickTime as Default Picture Viewer

I am working on an HP PC using Windows Vista. I recently downloaded the new iTunes + Quicktime software. I mistakenly allowed Quicktime to be my default picture viewer/everything. I don't want that. What is the Windows version and how can I get that back.

On a Windows computer you want to open the QT control panel and chose what file types you want QT to handle

How do I change the wallpaper and make windows transparent ( ~ 20% ) ?
Have been Googl'ing for a while now but still have no clue on how to achieve it

What terminal do you use? urxvt can set transparency in the Xdefaults file.

Or, if you don't like fiddling with Xdefaults file, you can simply make urxvt transparent by executing it like "urxvt -tr -sh 20", where the number represents the transparency level. However, this is only pseudo transparency, but I like it better than resource-consuming compositing.
Will give it a try. I'm not against .Xdefaults - just haven't used it that much and know only the basics ( color schemes )

How to change material type and industrial sector of the exsisting material

Hi,
There is an issue where user wants to change material type and industrial sector of the exsisting material .Is it posible to do so??
IF not ,how can we delete that material from material master so that another material with same number and required material type and industrial sector can be created.
Points will be definitely rewarded.
Thanks

Hi Rohit,
You can change the material type in MMAM trxn code if the material dosenot conatain any open purchase requisitions, open reservations & open purchase orders. Also material stock should be zero.
Remember the new material type should have same attributes same as old material type.
OLD Material New Material
1) Standard Price 1) Standard Price
2) Manufacture part 2) Manufacture part
profile actvated profile actvated
3) Quantity & Value 3) Quantity & Value
Updation in all areas Updation in all areas
4) should have same GL 4) Should have same GL acs
acs
It is not possible to change Industry sector once created.
If you want to delete the Material, you can flag it in MM06 trxn code.

Automator - Change Image Type - Multiple page PDF- TIFF conversion

I was able to do this on a friend's computer (not sure which version of OS X they were running), but this seems impossible on Snow Leopard.
I need to convert hundreds of multiple page PDFs to TIFFs. I can't get this to work, and the Change Image Type option only lists single page PDF conversion. I could separate PDFs into multiple files, convert to TIFFs, but then I don't know how to recombine a bunch of TIFF pages into a larger file. From google searches, I know this is possible using tiffutil, but I don't really understand how to use that well, and I really need an automatic process.
I'm at my wits end with this, because I did it just last week on someone else's computer and it was easy as pie. Why can't you convert multiple page PDFs in Snow Leopard?
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I just tried this - two problems.
It creates a separate tiff document for each page of the input pdf.
Also, this action is just annoying because it results in randomly named files in some temp folder that i can only locate using the reveal finder item action. I know I can rename files in automator, but I'd really like to have the output file have the same name as the input file.
It confuses me why they would remove this functionality in Snow Leopard.

Change material type and valuation class

hi
my client want to change material type and valuation class in their production system. but the material no. and some transaction had done by this material. anything i need to concern? especially, in FI part. thank

Hey Changing of Material Type is one step
Changing of valuation class is other
and underneth that changing of account is another attached to the valuation class.
The basic requiremnt will be that client want to change the G/L code attached to the valuation class.
If you have already done some transaction it is not fininacialy right to move valuation classes.
Tell in detail what is the requiremnt.

Manual scroll in the default picture viewer?

On the picture viewer that came with my Droid X I can set it to slideshow by pressing the middle button, but is there anyway to scroll through the pictures manually? I would think that there would be left and right keys to go back and forth.
If not, can anyone recommend a better picture viewer that does what I want? It seems strange that the picture viwer can't go back and forth manually. And one of the buttons (the left one) just turns the camera on, as if there weren't already enough ways to launch the camera. The button on the right seems kinda superfluous too - those two buttons should be left and right arrows!
Thanks

You can scroll left to right to go through the pictures. Here are the steps for viewing your pictures. HTH!
From the home screen, touch the applications tab (located at the bottom of the display).
Touch Gallery.Touch a gallery.
Touch the picture / video to view.
You will then slide your screen left to right to browse the pictures.

Change partition type and 2 billion rows limit.

Hello experts ,
My DB's 1 table has 4 billion records , so I'm using range partition for this , I devided 10 partitions.
I want to change this range partition to hash partition.
In this time , I think I should do following .
1. execute "alter table bigtable merge partitions";
2. execute "alter table bigtable partition by hash (column1) partitons 10"
I think it will be correspond to 2 billion row limit in sequence 1.
How to execute re-partitioning in this case ? Should I unload current data to file or sometiong and load from this
Regards,
Jim

You can change the partitioning type without merging the partitions, and as you said you would hit the limit even if you did that. I would recommend stopping the SLT master job (if this is fed from SLT), then performing this operation. It will clearly take a good chunk of time to do so.
Also to note, hash will simply work on the column values that you partition on, you can't really guarantee that there will equal distributions across the 10 partitions.

Justin

Can I change image date and capture year in Aperture?

Is there a way to manually change the image date and capture year (and other metadata for that matter) upon import? I have some pictures given to me by friends that they took on their own cameras and I want to import them into my Aperture Library, only it seems as though they didn't pay attention to/care about setting the date/time on their cameras. This causes me to lose sequence with my own photos that were taken with my camera on the same day.
I tried to append and replace the IPTC Metadata, but that didn't seem to work. What can be done about this, or am I just stuck with some out of sequence photos when I sort by image date?

RB,
That worked perfectly, and was just what I was looking to do. Thanks.

How to change data type and col. width of text item

hi,
how will we change the datatype and width of a text item in runtime.
set_item_property(itemname,fixed_length,20);--- it is for width.
please help me.
Regards

Hello,
You cannot change the datatype at runtime.
Start with a CHAR item then do the corresponding cast (NUMBER or DATE)
