Deactivating StarOffice 8 Registration Screen for All Future Users

I have found documentation from Sun on how to deactivate the registration screen for StarOffice 8, however it is assuming the user folders already exist.
I need a solution for any future user of that PC; the PCs are in a school district, if every K-12 student sees this registration screen, we will have confusion on what steps they need to follow to get past these screens. This summer we are hoping to move away from MSOffice completely, however this is an issue that seems to be in our way.
Here are the steps from Sun to deactivate if the user folder exists:
On the step 3 User Name page, leave the user information boxes empty.
On the step 4 Registration page, select I do not want to register, and then click the Finish button.
Create an archive file of the StarOffice 8 user directory.
Unpack the archive into the user directories where you want to deactivate the
Registration Wizard.
Our PCs do not have a folder for every possible student that would ever sign onto the PC, that would number into the thousands. Am I overlooking something or not seeing this solution clearly?

Hello!
I think this procedure works on WinXP:
After installation start StarOffice and make your settings (ie file formats, fonts and so on). Close SO8
Go to C:\documents and settings\your account\Application data\StarOffice8. Delete the file .lock.
Copy the folder C:\documents and settings\your account\Application data\StarOffice8 to C:\documents and settings\Default user\Application data\(and to ......\All users\application data)
Make sure there is no file .lock in the copied folders.

  • Get rid of registration screen for all new users...

    I have installed iWork 09 through ARD to the 20 computers in the lab. The issue is that whenever a new user logs in, it continues to ask to register. We have a lot of young students who cannot simply click 'register' later. Is there a way to disable this?
    Thanks.

    I assumes that this kind of problem must be treated with the Educational department.
    As a single user I don't know the way multiple license behave.

  • How to disable registration screen for all users

    Hi, can someone advice how I can disable the registration screen when user first startup Acrobat? I am using Acrobat 9
    Thanks

    I don't know if you can. Try this.
    Make a copy of the registry.
    Make a new copy of the registry after registering.
    Try to find the difference in the files after comparing registries. Then change the registry for all future installations.

  • I now have a black Desktop Screen for all new users

    Can someone possibly help me to shed some light on a problem I seem to be having with my image?  Here is the scenario:
    I installed Windows 7 x64 SP1 with Office 2013 on a VM-Patched up to date as of the composition of this message.
    I created a "Student" account, all I did was launch office and IE-Nothing really out of the ordinary.
    I then renamed Default to Default.bak and copied the Student profile to Default.
    Joined to the domain.
    Restarted, and logged in and now I have a black desktop, no wall paper or anything.  It is set on Windows Basic, 
    I can go in and select any other theme and it the problem is fixed.  BUT, this will be an issue for all new users.

    Hi,
    What's your propose to modify the default account? To create a mandatory User Profile? If that it is, the method you used is not correct, you can refer to the contents of the link below for more details about how to create a mandatory user profile:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg241183(v=ws.10).aspx
    For your black desktop problem, it is because the default Profile doesn't define any wallpaper. To avoid this problem, you need to customize the default profile by yourself. You can refer to the link below for more details about how to customize the default
    user profile:

  • Change Word & Excel Settings for ALL FUTURE USERS

    We have a computer lab in which each student has his/her own login.  They use Word and Excel 2010 in the classroom.  There are several settings that the teacher likes to set for his students, but currently he must log in to all 120 of the student
    accounts and set the settings.  A summary of those settings is:
    Change default font size to 12
    Change paragraph to single spacing with no space after text
    Add items to the quick launch bar at the top of the screen
    I'm working on setting up a new computer for imaging for him.  Is there any way for me to make these setting changes globally, so that each student gets the correct settings when they log on for the first time?

    Hi,
    For Word, the custom font is customized via the Normal.dotm template, located at %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Templates. Navigate to this location, right click on the template and choose Open. On the Home tab, in the Font group select the font of your choice, then
    right click on the editing area, click Paragraph and select single spacing and other settings you need to configure, click OK then save the file.
    For Excel, the font is customized via a registry key:
    Important
    This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the
    registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry,
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Back-up-the-registry
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Excel\Options
    Name: Font
    Type: REG_SZ
    Value: Arial,12
    After we define the Word template and changed the Excel Font registry key, we need to deploy it globally via an MSP file:
    1. Create a customization .msp file using the Office Customization Tool: drag and drop the
    setup.exe of the Office installation source in the Run box, and pass it the switch
    /admin
    2. This will open OCT (Office Customization Tool)
    3. Select the first option: Create a new Setup customization file for the following product and click OK
    4. We are now ready to add all our files into then MSP
    5. Under Additional Content – click Add Files to add here the template for Word (Normal.dotm). In the
    File Destination Path dialog box, in the Destination path on the user's computer list, select
    %AppData\Microsoft\Templates, and then click OK
    6. Under Additional Content - click Remove files, and then click
    Add. In the File Path dialog box, under
    Path and file name of file to be deleted, enter %AppData%\Microsoft\Templates\Normal.dotm, and then click
    OK. (This will remove any Normal.dotm file from the users’ computers that is from a previous installation of Word.)
    7. In the console tree, click Add registry entries, and then click
    Add. Follow the path I mentioned for Excel: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Excel\Options, type in the information and click
    OK to save.
    8. In the console tree, click Remove registry entries, and then click
    Add. Type in the registry key information above and click
    OK to save. This will remove the previous font setting for Excel.
    We have now finished creating the customization file. You can save it from
    File – Save as – Name.msp
    We are now ready to create the start-up script and add it to the GPO that will deploy these settings to the whole organization.
    To create the .bat file that will be used in the start-up script, please open Notepad and use the following text:
    setlocal
    reg query HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Patches\9EA4D5478DD17EE45B1A1E670AC471BC
    if %errorlevel%==1 (goto Patches) else (goto End)
    REM If 1
    returned, the patch is not installed. Install the patch here.
    :Patches
    "%windir%\system32\msiexec.exe" /p \\server\shared_folder\Name.msp /qn
    REM If 0 or other was returned, the patch is already installed. Do nothing.
    :End
    Endlocal
    Please NOTE that you need to change the
    \\server\shared_folder to point to the correct path and MSP file in your environment.
    Save the Notepad file as Name.bat in the same shared location (\\server\shared_folder)
    On the Domain Controller create a new Policy and assign it to the desired
    Organizational Unit. Edit the policy and go under:
    User Configuration – Windows Settings –
    Scripts (Logon/Logoff)
    Double click Logon – click Add
    Under Script name please type the location and the name of the .bat file we created earlier (please use UNC path and not a drive letter)

    By the quick launch bar, do you mean the Quick Access Toolbar? If so, when you customize the it in a particular application, Office 2010 creates an *.officeUI file for that application that contains the customization XML. With this understanding, you can
    do one of the following:
    •Modify an existing *.officeUI file with the desired customizations by updating the XML code.
    •Create the desired customizations by using the Customization dialog in the Microsoft Office application, apply the customizations, and then browse to the *.officeUI file.
    Please note we need to customize the Quick Access Toolbar in each application.
    Detailed steps to deploy the Quick Access Toolbar can be found in this MSDN article below:

  • How to permanently remove "This Connection is Untrusted" notification for all future websites everywhere forever?

    Dear Mod/Helper/Whoever
    Please read this entire post before answering since it addresses virtually all the most popular "solutions" for this problem and they DON'T WORK.
    I've already found this and it was of no use: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1015256?esab=a&as=aaq
    The moderator's blatant copy-paste response was an insult and not helpful at all.
    My system date is ok and the cause of invalid certificate is the LEAST of my concerns. I just want to browse the website and not get ANY warnings about ANY invalid certificates or ANY risks involved, period. All popular workarounds with settings/advanced/validity properties have been tried but none of them fix this for me. I want FF to accept all invalid certificates instantly without notification or warning, no matter what.
    I want to remove the warning screen "This Connection is Untrusted" permanently for all future references, so that I don't even see any errors related to it when I browse a website.
    I'm not here to argue the merits or lack thereof for this action, I just want to get rid of it.
    I'm running a lot of custom software on my comp and I have 3 LAN cards connecting me to 3 different networks with varying degrees of security and this notification is a huge pain in the... back, because it eats my time every day.
    I've been using Firefox for years exactly because it didn't have stuff like this in the past - I could visit all the funny/suspicious/malicious websites without problems, where IE would have died 10 times over. Sadly that FF feature began changing to the worse in the past years, an ever-increasing slope downwards for this once great web browser.
    I KNOW all the risks involved and I don't care. In fact I encourage websites to try and install "stuff" on my computer because as I mentioned, this is a special computer. I'm visiting 40-50 websites with that prompt DAILY because that's what I do for a living. Every time I have to add an exception is a wasted effort and time. I'm running other browsers as well but FF is my focus due to its popularity.
    Please for the love of all that is sacred, provide some sort of workaround for this without the need to install an addon or click "I understand the risks" a gazillion times. An "about:config" variable would be nice but apparently it's not there, I looked.

    That is not possible as that would expose you and other Firefox users to unacceptable security vulnerabilities.
    The normal procedure is to contact the website maintainer and ask them to fix the certificate chain or install missing root certificates in Firefox and set the trust bits accordingly.
    If you do not care about certificates then why don't you install proxy software and use that proxy and let it handle the certificates and import the root certificate of that proxy in Firefox?

  • How to get One Selection Screen for all queries?

    Hi Experts,
    I have three queries having selection screens. All the selection screen have the same variables, but the reports are different.
    I have created a workbook having these three queries. Each time when the workbook opens, the three selection screen pops up one after the another. Same values are entered in all the selection screens.
    Now the user wants only one selection screen for all the three reports. Is it possible? I tried but I do not see any way.
    I think there should be some way of getting it done.
    Waiting for your inputs,
    With kind regards,
    Shreeem

    Hi
    If a workbook contains multiple queries that use the same variable, you are prompted to enter the variable values again for each query. To avoid this, set the Display Duplicate Variables Only Once flag.
    Goto Workbook Settings>Under Variables Tab>select Display Duplicate Variables only Once

  • Iphone5 deleted most recurring events in Calendar when changing one event and confirming Save for All Future Events

    This has occurred now twice today, requiring me to resync my iphone5 in order to recapture the majority of my Calender events that were in place before this mysterious disappearance took place. When I touched the "Save for All Future Events" button, the process took much longer than usual, with this result. My iCloud account is set only for Backups; nothing on my iphone is set to sync with iCloud. Has anyone else had disappearing Calender Events in the new iphone5 or any ideas what may be causing this to happened - never before occurred on previous iphones.

    I had the same problem and thought it was fixed after spending a lot of time last night going through all my appointments on my 9900 and fixing them. Then this morning I did a 1-way sync with my PC and after updating all my categories in Outlook I did a 2-way sync just to have the same thing all over again. 
    I resolved the problem by replacing DM7 with DM6.1
    I just can't see how after 6 months this can happen. It's not like syncing calendar appointments is something only a handful of people do.

  • 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

  • Reporting Services through ISA server for All Authenticated Users

    Hello colleagues.
    I have MS SQL 2012 server with Reporting Services and it work via link:
    https://reports2.domain.com/reports
    In LAN all work fine, but I want publish this resource via ISA for All Authenticated Users.
    When in publish rule I configure (in Condition) "All users" - all work fine, but when I configure "All Authenticated Users" - I have trouble on web form on
    https://reports2.domain.com/reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPat...  - scripts not work, because it run how "anonymous" (I see on ISA logging) and ISA block scripts.
    I can't use "All Users", because it's not secure.
    Maybe somebody publish Reporting Services through ISA server for All Authenticated Users?
    OR maybe - how on Reporting Services configure Negotiate authenticated for scripts?

    Hi Alexander,
    All users or applications who request access to report server content or operations must be authenticated using the authentication type configured on the report server before access is allowed. The AuthenticationType named RSWindowsNegotiate is supported
    by Reporting Services. To configure Windows Authentication on the Report Server, please see:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc281253(v=sql.110).aspx
    Besides, we can publish report server via ISA server. Please note that you should use a new web port number with a new listener which shouldn’t be used by other web site for report server. Reference:
