Desktop background switcher does not recurse sub-folders?

I like the idea of having my background image change regularly.  It seems, however, that this feature is only able to work with the top level of the defined folder.  Can it be set to show images from the defined folder and all subfolders beneath?

No, It works much like the Library folders views in that respect. You have to choose them all, if you want differences between all folders.

  • I am trying to uninstall a program that is running in the background but does not show when I force quit.  How do I remove it?

    How do I uninstall a program that is running in the background but does not show in Force Quit?

    Open Activity Monitor and look for the program.  Select it and Quit or Force quit it from within Acitiviy Monitor.
    Search for the application with Find Any File as it can search areas that Spotlight can't, like invisible folders, system folders and packages.  You can drag the app and any associated files from the search result window to the Trash bin in the Dock.

  • The Fan option does not appear for folders in the dock.

    The fan option does not appear on folders on the Dock. Stack option is checked, but all I get is grid list and automatic....running 10.5.2
    any ideas?

    Not that I know of. When on the side no fan for folders and no 3D look, which I prefer. Background of the Dock very dark so the white dot showing an app is open is easy to see and it all looks very sophisticated.
    You might check with third party apps to see if anyone is changing that, but most people don't like the fan so I doubt if anyone is working to add it in.

    Question
    When trying to create a desktop icon, it does not go to the URL.....instead I get 'script' and not a website......the script has http//etc but I am not directed to the website......I previously had IE 8 (on Vista).....is that the problem?I do not have any installed plugins....at least none that I know of.....remember I am a new user......Basically, the desktop icon is not going directly to the Mozilla FF to get me to the web site I need to go to.....FF works when I use the Mozilla FF icon.....just not the icons I create.....THANKS!!! I have also tried reinstalling FF and get the same results.....HELP!!!

    The address beginning with file:/// denotes a saved file (local file). The file may not be present. You can try dragging the site icon of this page on the left edge of the location (Address) bar and release it on the desktop. Please try opening it. If it still shows an error it could be a problem with the system's zone permissions. You can try setting each zone in the Windows Control Panel or IE > '''Internet Options''' > '''Security''' tab to '''Default Level'''.

  • When I click to open Mozilla icon on my desktop, the page does not open & I cannot access it unless I type it in an Internet Explorer page?

    When I click to open Mozilla icon on my desktop, the page does not open & I cannot access it unless I type it in an Internet Explorer page? When clicking on the Icon sometimes it will flash to the right of my desktop screen but does not open for access.

    Hi Dave, thanks for your answer.
    I have tried a several times to repairing permissions, restarting the mac, relaunched Finder, but no difference.
    I copied the download folder to the dock...there I can open the files, but not deleting them or copying them.
    When I open finder, then I click on the folder Download, after a while of thinking, it throws me out and back to the desktop.
    already tried to sign in with the guest user account, then I am able to open the download folder.(but not seeing my files)
    When I am trying to change the download folder in Safari, it also throws me out and gives me a error report ,for sending to Apple.
    I think it's a settings fault or i think my download folder is locked. Almost desperat, already called support center,
    They couldn't help, for free, due the 90 days free online help i have reached. If I want to solve this problem, they could try it , but it cost me almost 50 euros.
    hope there is someone, who's knowing this problem.
    By the way, I think it also could be that I dragged some downloaded music to the desktop, and dragged some folder that has the settings. Now its changed???
    Or I was downloading something, and deleted the files in the download folder while it was unpacking and reparing the files.
    It's not easy for a beginner Mac user (3 months) to already solve this problems.
    Can you follow me? And seems this problem familiar to you?
    Thanks in advance

  • Location switching does not work on Vista

    Hi, my location switching does not work.  I have reinstalled my Access Connection several time but still does not work. I have several profiles and I need to switch manually depending on my location profile. My Access Connetion however seem to know the right profile (dot  next to the profile indicate it picked up the right wireless signal) but never connect to the profile
    Is there any Vista feature that is controlling the access as well? Do I need to disable? I remember the older version of Access Connection will ask to disaable some windows services when using Access connection.
    My Config is
    - R61
    - Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AG. File Version 11.1.1.16
    - OS Vista 32 Business - with up to date patches
    - Access Connection 4.42 for Vista Build 7RCN38WW

  • Spry menu does not show sub menu on iPhone

    Hi there,
    Spry menu bar from CS6 does not show sub menu on iPhone. Please help.
    Thanks,
    Tee
    <TA

    I was debating Sudarshan's
    if your Spry menu is triggered on 'hover', it will not work on an iPhone as touch-screen phones cant do 'hover'.
    any menu with NO hover (mouseover) effect or trigger will work on touchscreen devices. Pick a menu plug-in that doesn't have any associations to 'hover' factor.
    as most touch-enabled menus will still contain hover rules or mouseover javascript handles. Even most JQuery menus will contain :hover rules.
    There is no disagreement about that with you, Al.

  • Please help! New desktop archive function DOES NOT work!

    Am using the new vista Desktop 6.2.1
    I have been using Treos for many years, and I often delete and archive address, memo, todo and datebook records. I keep critical archive files for reference and often do refer to old archived records.
    HERE IS THE PROBLEM: Whenever I delete and choose to archive an address entry or memo from my Treo and then hotsynch, the desktop hotsync process does not add the deleted records to the appropriate archive files the way it should and the way it has worked for years, in this case address.aba and memopad.mpa - the desktop hotsync process OVERWRITES those archive files. You lose all of your old archived data, anything that was archived is wiped out and replaced with the most recently deleted and archived records
    SO for example: I had 20 archived contacts in my address.aba file. I deleted a contact from my Treo and wanted it archived. After the hotsync all 20 archived contacts were gone, the only record in my address.aba file was the most recently deleted and archived record.
    I have tested this carefully and many times now with the address and memopad and the same thing happens.
    Am I the only one who uses the archive PIM files as valuable references? Can not imagine so, and can not imagine I am the only one who noticed this problem, or the only one it is plaguing.
    Can anyone offer an explanation and solution?
    Thanks
    Post relates to: Treo 700p (Verizon)

    I have the same problem. When I "upgraded" from a Treo 650 to a Centro Verizon, it came with Desktop version 6.2.2. The archive function does the same thing when I try to archive my Tasks.
    I have gone on Palms Chat service, called their support on the phone several times, sent an email to the Access software public-relations message center, and done everything I can to correct the problem with no success. The Palm support people don't even seem to understand my problem, let alone how to correct it.
    One technician told me that Access desktop version 6.2 doesn't work and to go back to version 4.1.4E. That doesn't work either.

  • JProgressBar background color does not work in XP with JRE 1.4.2

    Hi,
    I am setting the background color of JProgressBar. While it used to work in 1.4.1, the background color does not show in 1.4.2 on XP. It looks like it has something to do with the XP L&F in 1.4.2. I am setting the L&F to systemlookand feel. Is anyone aware of anyworkaround for this? Setting the opaque property does not help either. I don't want to say swing.xp=false. We need the xp look and feel.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Sujatha.

    Actually I draw a blank looking into it a bit deeper. The Windows UI paintXPBackground method is private and the XPStyle class can not be accessed outside the package. I guess the reason for this is to protect the XP LAF from having the backgrounds changed etc.
    If it is important to you the source is available for you to replicate your own MyXPStyle class and then you would have to recreate the whole paintDeterminate methods in your MyProgressBarUI class. It would not be very future proof though.

  • My samsung external HD does not show its folders on MAC. Does somebody can help me?

    My Samsung external hd does not show its folders on MAC. It runs sometimes at Windows systems. I hadl already tried to configure to show hidden folders, but it does not solve my problem.

    Thank you for responding.
    This might sound stupid since i'm not really knowledgeable with Macs,
    but since all my files were moved from my mac computer to the external hard drive,
    is it possible to recover those files through my Mac - like recovering deleted files?

  • Power switch does not illuminate with the power on , windows 8.1 HP Pavilion 15-B153NR

    Power switch does not stay luminated when power is on. Stays on when I press F5. How do I get it to stay on full time when the power is on. I have two of these and the other one does stay lit when ever power is turned on.

    Hello , Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel. I read your post about the power light, and wanted to assist you! Check the BIOS version for both machines, and see if they are the same.  If different, then try installing the BIOS that the working machine has, on your notebook.  You can get the BIOS drivers for your product from this site: Drivers - HP Pavilion TouchSmart 15-b153nr Sleekbook Try checking the Power Management Options for both machines as well.  You can use this document to help you, if needed: HP Notebook PCs - Managing Power Options (Windows 8) Please let me know if this information was helpful by clicking the thumbs up below.
