Changing the default GPU

I am using an Acer V17 Nitro - Black Edition. Nvidia Geforce GTX 960M, 8GB RAM, Windows 8.1 and some Intel 4000 something or other. I refer to it like that because I want to disable it! Heres the lowdown:For my own personal reasons, I want to make my Nvidia GPU the default GPU for my PC. Unfortunately, it hasn't been easy; I have scoured the internet for a way to do this and finally decided on removing the whole optimus deal altogether. So I go into the BIOS and, lo and behold, there isn't a single option that has anything to do with the GPU! If I disable the Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600, Windows completely ignores the Nvidia GPU and uses some stupid Microsoft Basic Display Adapter, and I can't even open the Nvidia control panel because it apparently doesn't think that Nvidia can be used as a display adapter! Hell, I tried to do that second screen thing, but it only recognizes the Intel. I couldn't care less about my battery power, because I know that's what this is all about. 'Use the Intel for normal stuff and use the Nvidia for gaming'. My problem is the 'by force' attatched to that sentence. Please help me, I'm at my wits end and THIS close from applying the baseball bat.

Changing the default fan speeds

I have a MSI GTX 760 and I would like to change the default fan speeds. I can do this in MSI Afterburner, but this is a multi user pc and I want the fan speed to be for every user?

Hmm guess best answer is, Just dont get a msi display card. If there not going to fix a problems with fan speed's.
And MSI gaming app in OC mode makes the fan go no faster than 35%, click normal mode and go's higher.
Just use Gpu-z run test and watch the temp increase. 1 of the ways i have tested.
I feel quite let down as this is not the first time I have reported this and asked for help.
This thread just seems to be for UEFI bios.

Power view in SharePoint - Changing the default save location?

Is it possible to change the default location when saving Power view back into SharePoint?
Our users are creating their own power view reports by clicking a power view shared data source in SharePoint document library.
When saving their reports, the default location is always the same location where the data source is. This is described here also:
https://support.office.microsoft.com/en-us/article/Power-View-in-SharePoint-Server-Create-save-and-print-reports-f616575e-02bf-46cd-b94a-b744245ef9d1?CorrelationId=a852221e-b063-4020-a20a-53d8e8fb8b8b&ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US
Quote from the link: "The first time you save the
report, the default location will be the folder where the model is located."
Ok, understood. But is it possible to change this???

Hi again
Ouch! Not the network!
One of the hard learned issues that folks are unaware of until they encounter problems is that Captivate does not do well when a project is stored on a network. It's fine to keep projects there in order to back them up or as a transfer pivot location to allow others to edit, but you never want to open Captivate, click File > Open and browse to a network location to open a project for editing.
Best practice at this point is to keep projects on your local C drive when you make edits.
Cheers... Rick

Office 2013 - Is there a way to when installing that you can change the default save location without having to configure it within the client?

So, What I am trying to do is deploy Office 2013 throughout our company, and I do not want the users to save their business or personal files created within Office 2013 on the C: drive or Sky Drive. We have what is called the U: drive and I'd like to know
if there's a quick registry tweak that I can use to not only change the default location upon setting up a computer, but to deploy through Group Policy?
One other question perhaps; Is there a way to change not only the file location to default to only the one place, but also is there a way to also set a specific size limit to folders and prevent certain files from being saved (videos and personal pictures).
I have our network pretty tight as to what or who can go where, and what not, I am just really for an answer or some help to the default location...anything you have GREATLY APPRECIATED!

You can use the OCT and/or domain Group Policy, to customise the Office experience and settings for your users:

How do you change the default save as directory when saving a PDF file to your hard drive?

This is the on-line help instructions on this site:
Downloading a PDF file to your hard drive
You can download a PDF file to the hard drive from a web page's link. Downloading PDF files doesn't require the ActiveX plug-in file to be installed. (If you want to open and view the PDF file after downloading it, you must have Acrobat, Adobe Reader, or Acrobat Reader installed.)
To download a PDF file from a link:
1. Right-click the link to a PDF file, and then choose Save Target As from the pop-up menu.
2. In the Save As dialog box, select a location on your hard drive, and then click Save.
My issue: I want to save several pdf files (from the Adobe Reader in my browser) one at a time and each time it defaults the save as directory to the desktop and I have to go looking for the directory I last saved a pdf file in. I got lots of directories and I wish I could change the default setting for the save as directory. Just a minor thing but irritating as other programs usually will allow you to switch the default save as directory to one of your choosing.

There is not a way to set the default location from all the forums i searched in the last couple days.

How to Change the Default SSH Port from Terminal ?
now showing default SSH Port 22 i need change it pls help me how can do

When I change the default folder to save downloads in the options menu, it later reverts to the default folder even though I have made not changes in options. Any ideas? thanks!

In the Options menu I changed the default download location (folder) to a folder I have on my desktop and saved the changes. But this option reverts to the default folder when I turn on my computer and open FF the next day.

Thank you for your response.
I do use CCleaner and just ran it. It did not change the download option folder that I had changed from the default so it appears that this is not cause.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks again!

How do you change the default font in Illustrator CS5?

I have upgraded my Illustrator to CS5 and my default font has changed to a strange font. In Photoshop and InDesign, I was told that all you have to do is change the font in the Character menu to the font that you wish to be set as "default" and it will be the font that you always start with.
NOTE: Does this mean that if I use a different font in a different document, the font will stay that font unless I change it back? Isn't there a way to make a particular font the font that I would always what I start with? All this setup means, is that the "default font" will always be whatever the last font that was being used was. There has to be a way to make a default font that I will always start with no matter what the last font that was being used was.
Illustrator gives you no option on font type, unless a file is open. Then, if you change the font and close the file, next time you start a file, it will go back to what is was to begin with. There has to be a way to change the default font for all of these programs to where the font always stays the same unless you change it. Mine is just set to use a weird font that I would probably never use.
I just never thought it would be that big of a deal to change default settings for the font.

Okay, I basically made three different documents and I made sure that I had everything chosen in each. I then saved the three to that file and they now appear in the list:
Settings for all 3:
72psi, 150psi and 300psi
Rulers Visable
Times New Roman
12pt
14.4pt
I then went in and started three new documents. I used the three different New Document Profile's that I made and they all had Rulers, their sizes were correct, but the font stayed Myriad Pro. Did I miss anything? And, Yes, I did change the font and the setting before I saved them in the New Document Profile.
One other thing, I did create a file in the folder, but it was spelled incorrectly. I then went into the folder, erased it and made a second. Then, I went to open it in IllustratorCS5 and it was still listed. I went to the file and it wasn't there anymore, but it was still listed in the New Document Profile. Is there a way to get it off of the list or is all I have to do is restart Illustrator?

How do I change the default certificate in Java Web Console?

I have a 3rd party issued server keystore & truststore ready to go in both jks and p12 file formats. I wish to use this in the Sun Java Web Console instead of the self signed certificate. I cannot find any documentation as to changing the certificate. I did find commands to change the keystore and truststore passwords, but I want to change the entire certificate.
I tried manually messing with the /var/webconsole/domains/console/conf/server.xml configuration file but realized it was more complex than that. Is there a documented procedure for changing the default certifcate?
Thanks

How do you change the default font in indesign cs3 on a mac?

Hi, I have tried closing all indesign docs and then changing the font in the font menu to helvetica (from times), then opening a new document and it still gives me [Times (TT)] when i draw a new text box and write something in it.
I have tried quitting indesign and reopening it and its still the old default font of [Times (TT)] - which is also not an available font on my machine.
I have also changed my basic paragraph style to helvetica from times, and it still doesnt change the default font when i open a new document.
When i open a new document in indesign it comes up with helvetica in the character pallet as the font, its just when i go to draw a text box and write something in it that it writes it in Times.

Is it possible you have more than one text frame object style, or that you have some default paragraph style set other than [Basic Paragraph]? If you are only editing Basic Paragraph and your default text frame is set to another syle, or you have another paragraph style selected when you begin typing, you might see this behavior.
If not, try resetting your preferences. Replacing InDesign Preferences

Changing the Default Currency in Analytics App's don't change curr symbol

Hi All,
We are using BI APPS 7.9.4 with OBIEE 10.1.3.3.2
We want to change the default currency for reporting from $ to £ in BI Dashboard reports.
I have edited the currencies.xml file on $INSTALLDIR/OracleBI/web/config
changed the sybmol to £ from $
<Currency tag="int:wrhs" type="international" placeholder="true" symbol="£" format="$#" digits="2" displayMessage="kmsgCurrencySiebelWarehouse">

</Currency>
<Currency tag="loc:en-GB" type="local" symbol="£" locale="en-GB" format="$#" digits="2">
<negative tag="minus" format="-$#" />
</Currency>
and restarted BI Server, Presentation Server, Java Host and all the OPMN services but the reporting currencies in the dashboard reports are still displayed in $. The report currency symbol is showing $ by default irrespective of the default currency set in the currencies.xml
Ex: $13459
Anyone know what this issue could be, please let me know if am missing anything.

How to change the default Path of Prompt Played by MicroApp

Hi
I need to store all the Self Service application prompts in dedicated Media Server. I can modify location of all the Media files by passing the related URL form CVP application, however I need to know how to change the default location of Prompt file played by Play Media Microapplication in ICM Scripting.
Currently the default location taken by Play Media Micro App is the Media _Server.variable path set for VXML Server location while I have a separate Media Server.
Please advice how we can customize the MicroApp Media path.
regards
Kapil Kumar

Hi Kapil,
Try this in your ICM script, define set variables i.e.
set Media Server= ip address of media server
set Locale = en-us
set input Type = DTMF only
set App Media Lib = " you new location i.e. test "
So, the application path will be
http://media server ip address/en-us/test
hope this helps.
Cheers

Normally this is achieved via the "ip ssh port rotary " but unfortunately, this command is not implemented on your platform so ssh will only work on port 22.
