Cutepdf readme file as occasionally default startup page in firefox

I start my mozila firefox from a shortcut on the taskbar and sometimes when i start the browser from this shortcut, it opens the file:///C:/Program Files (x86)/Acro Software/CutePDF Writer/README.HTM, instead of my default homepage. I have installed the cutepdf application and the operating system is Windows 7 64bit. Does anyone know why is this happen?

Making customisation from the default profile is generally considered poor practice and quite often doesn't work out as planned. (If you're interested in some more information on this, [http://mockbox.net/windows-7/227-customise-windows-7-default-profile.html see here] see here)

  • How can I set the default home page in Firefox 4 for all users that login to a PC on a Win 7 PC?

    I work at a community college in upstate NY.
    We use Firefox as the default browser at our institution and we have always set the default homepage to be our homepage for all users that login to the PC. We had a procedure to to that that worked with Windows XP and FF 3 or earlier
    We would do the following:
    1. go to: c:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Mozilla\FireFox\Profiles\<profile_name>\prefs.js
    2. Add the line: user_pref (“browser.startup.homepage”,”http://www.genesee.edu”);
    3. Copy the Folder
    C:\Documents & Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Mozilla
    To
    C:\Documents & Settings\Default User\Application Data\Mozilla
    4. Restart the computer
    We're going to Win 7 and Firefox 4 and things seem to be different in terms of files and file structure. Does anyone know how to accomplish this?
    Thanks in advance.

  • I removed Yahoo Search and in Tools Option I changed it to Blank Page at Startup but When I reboot my computer I get YAHOO as my StartUp page in Firefox even though Options still says Blank Page.

    I added Yahoo Search when I installed a program, but later removed it from Firefox Add-ons, but it still comes up as my Firefox start Page even though Tools Options states that I want a Blank Start Page.
    When I go to Tools Options and change nothing (since it still reads Blank Page) and press OK, the blank page works every time I load Firefox until I reboot my computer and then Firefox is back.

  • I download my acrobat x upgrade but I only get readme files on my mac

    but I only get readme files on my mac

    I assume you went to http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Macintosh. Each update has 2 steps to download and the download should then be automatic. Generally, the updates must be installed in order unless indicated otherwise. However, the downloads should be installation files (not sure about the extension or type for a MAC) and not a text or readme file. I found 2 pages, each with a download button for the downloads. The last one should start the download as I mentioned. If the MAC version of Acrobat is similar to Windows in the update sense, you may be able to do updates from the Help menu within Acrobat.

  • How to setup the default run page in WAR file

    Can anyone please tell me how to setup the default run page in WAR file using JDeveloper? I want the login page to be the default page of the application. Thanks!

    This is usually done in an .XML or other configuration file based on the particular web application container you are using.
    For example, in Tomcat Java Container, its the following parameter in the /conf/web.xml file:
    <welcome-file-list>
    <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
    <welcome-file>index.htm</welcome-file>
    <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
    </welcome-file-list>
    You will need to look at the documentation for your server container.
    thanks

  • Readme file

    When installing the trial on Windows, it will extract itself to an Adobe folder in "My Documents" and then offer to perform the installation. Do take a look at the Adobe folder, though, since there is a Readme file in there that contains a lot of value information. There is a section on migrating from the betas, as well as the following lists of known issues:
    * Lightroom may be unable to see or import raw files directly from attached Canon cameras on Windows XP. Please visit Canons technical support web site for information on this known driver issue or use a dedicated card reader to import files captured with Canon cameras.
    * Lightroom may experience decreased performance when virus software is monitoring Lightrooms disk or database activity.
    * Lightroom may experience decreased performance when the preference to Update XMP Automatically is turned on in the preferences.
    * Adobe applications must be updated with the Camera Raw 3.7 plug-in order to ensure compatibility with Lightroom 1.0 develop module settings. The following products will support the Camera Raw 3.7 plug-in: Photoshop CS2, Photoshop Elements 4.0, Photoshop Elements 5.0 and Premiere Elements 3.0.
    * If the Convert to DNG command returns the error: An error occurred while converting file image.raw please check to make sure that the volume the image is located on is not locked or read-only.
    * Transparent Identity Plates are not rendered properly when web galleries are previewed in Lightroom using Internet Explorer 6.
    * The date format shown at the top of the import dialog may display English formatting in the Japanese version of Lightroom 1.0 for the Mac. Please note that the date format is set in the Format section of International settings. Date format is not linked to the current system language.(1465684)
    * It is not possible to drag and drop TIFF, PSD or PDF files onto the Graphical Identity Plate area of the Lightroom 1.0 Windows Identity Plate window. PSD and PDF Identity plates are not currently supported in Lightroom on Windows and TIFF files must be selected using the Locate command. (1467022)

  • How do you set a default home page for tabs

    Default home page setting is easy enough but when clicking the "+" to open a tab I want to set the page that it defauts to. You would think that it would do the default home page but it doesn't and I cant find where to set it.

    Troubleshooting tips on the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference:
    ''If Firefox won't let you edit this setting:'' you may have something called SearchProtect on your system. This needs to be removed from the Windows Control Panel.
    ''If Firefox lets you save your change but ignores it:'' one of your extensions may be overriding it. You can review, disable, and/or remove extensions on the add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then cast a critical eye over the list on the right and disable (or remove) anything unknown.
    ''If the change works during your session, but at the next startup is back to the unwanted page:'' you might have a user.js file in your personal Firefox settings folder (your Firefox profile folder). This article describes how to track down and remove the file: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]]. Also beware of features in utility programs like Advanced SystemCare that roll back settings changes between sessions.
    If bad add-ons do not have a Remove button or keep coming back, here's my suggested procedure for tracking down and cleaning them up. I know this seems long, but it's not that bad.
    (1) Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
    (2) Open Firefox's '''Add-ons page''' using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    * in the Windows "Run" dialog, type or paste <br><code>firefox.exe "about:addons"</code>
    In the left column, click '''Plugins'''. Set nonessential and unrecognized plugins to "Never Activate".
    In the left column, click '''Extensions'''. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
    Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Any improvement?
    (3) You can search for remaining issues with the '''scanning/cleaning tools''' listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]. These on-demand scanners are free and take considerable time to run. If they finish quickly and especially if they require payment, you may have a serious infection. I suggest the specialized forums listed in the article in that case.

    In Firefox 3.6 and later on Windows you can hide the menu bar via "View > Toolbars" or via the right click context menu on a toolbar.
    Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the menu bar temporarily.
    Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the menu bar or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).

  • Multiple file links in a single page: A better way to/efficient way to handle ?

    Aloha Everyone!
    I would like to ask the community how they have handled multiple file links in a single page. Sort of a pseudo database of files.
    Here is the webpage I have been working on:http://huichawaii.org/
    Here is what I have done to show files so far:
    old version:http://huichawaii.org/proceedings---2012-education%2c-math---engineering-technology.html
    new version: http://huichawaii.org/ahs2013-proceedings.html
    The website works best in Chrom or Firefox, still have to convert the flash header to an edge animate .
    Mahalo in advance for everyone's input!

    Depending on what other text you might have, you could use the data list component.
    To get the text to have underlines, you will need to edit the repeated item. You can also adjust colors and fonts as well. The default rollover and selected states will probably not be the UI that want, so make sure you change those as well.
    Now for the interactivity, select the datalist, and use the interactions panel, choose "On Select", then "Go To Url", the trick is to make sure the "When a specific item is selected" is also set. Here are the basic settings to get your links working:
    Add new interactions for each item you want to be functional.

    You have 17 options to save as in Open Office, one of which is .doc  files,  yes it needs to be saved manually.
    You may be able to default to DOC, but have not tried same.
    Since Open Office is 99% same as Word, I use it, or Word, either one.  Open Office is a bit less buggy than Word 11'

  • How can I set the default home page for all new users in Firefox 4

    I'm trying to deploy FF 4.0rc1 in a corporate environment but I can't find a way to set the default home page or any other settings for that matter.
    Is there a way to set the default home page for all new users and lock it so that the users can't change home page?
    Best regards
    Jonas

    In Firefox 4 the template folder for new profiles (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\profile\
    ) doesn't exist. You can create that \defaults\profile\ folder and place a file user.js in it with the prefs that you want to initialize.
    See:
    *http://www-archive.mozilla.org/catalog/end-user/customizing/briefprefs.html
    You can also use a mozilla.cfg file to set the default value for prefs.<br />
    See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
    defaultPref(); // set new default value
    pref(); // set pref, but allow changes
    lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes
