Detecting settings

Hi,
I don�t know exactly if this is the right forum topic for my question as I do not have very much experience with Java.
Anyway, I found a site on the web that will detect quite a few things about your browser and system. I have some experience with JavaScript and asp.net and I know more or less which settings can be detected with them. But this site detects a lot more and I thought that maybe they are detected with an applet.
Can you have a look at the site and tell me which of the settings can be detected with an applet, or at least if Java can be used to detect any settings at all?

Thanks in advance

I think it uses a combination of ways to find out those settings (mostly JavaScript, probably, which btw. doesn't have any connection to Java). It doesn't use Java for the majority of it's tests 'though. You can easily test that by uninstalling the Java plugin. It even tells you which tests it doesn't run in this case.
All in all, I think you'd get better answers on another forum, as this is not really Java-related.

IE, Disable 'Automatically Detect Settings' Via GPO

Hi guys,
We have recently been having a small problem with IE, whereby the 'automatically detect settings' check box will get ticked - resulting in our users not being able to traverse our proxy server.
I use the User Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > IE Maintenance > Connection to set up our proxy settings, however I can't see an option to explicitly disable the 'automatically detect settings' check box.
Is this located somewhere else in an admin template, or am I simply missing an option that is right in front of me?
Thanks.
Glen

here is a script that does the trick: source

My outgoing mail server auto defaults to port 465 but auto detect settings box is not checked

Hi Guys,
Hope someone can help.
I am having problems sending emails as my provider does not support port 465 as an outgoing mail server port, only 587 and 25. Despite not having 'auto detect settings' box checked in mac mail my port defaults to 465 whatever I put in there.
I am running 10.10.1 and the latest version of mac mail.
Hope someone can help.
Cheers
Adrian

Hello,
I figured out my problem. I had somehow changed the "user name" in the outgoing server. (edit server list > Advanced tab > user name). When I corrected the user name, so that it exactly matches the user name for the "Incoming mail server" the outgoing server is back online!
Of course, I still have the problem of having to enter my keyword password repeatedly, but that is in a different thread . . .

IE LAN Settings: "Automatically detect settings"

I'm currenting running Windows 7 Enterprise with IE8 and i'm having difficulty de-selecting the "Automatically detect settings" check box under LAN Settings.
I've configured my proxy settings using a GPO under the Internet Explorer Maintenance which are applying successfully but the "Automatically detect settings" remains selected even though i have disabled "Automatically detect configuration settings".
Can someone please help? I am trying to apply this on multipul computers so would prefer this to be done via GPO.

Hi, Joanne
Firstly uncheck “Automatically detect settings” at the server where you configure Group Policy.
Or you can save below data to .reg file and input to your registry:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Connections]
"DefaultConnectionSettings"=hex:46,00,00,00,bc,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,00,00,00,\
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,33,00,00,00,68,74,74,70,3a,2f,2f,73,\
69,6e,70,72,6f,78,79,2e,66,61,72,65,61,73,74,2e,63,6f,72,70,2e,6d,69,63,72,\
6f,73,6f,66,74,2e,63,6f,6d,2f,77,70,61,64,2e,64,61,74,9e,ac,06,29,cc,bb,cc,\
01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,9d,3c,3c,70,\
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
Then when you create GPP, it will get the registry entry value form current registry.
In my test, the value is:
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

Netsh and Automatically Detect settings

Hi All,
I have 'Automatically detect settings' checked in IE and the browser is picking the wpad file as expected. Having said that, I have been unsuccessful trying to set this proxy setting on a system wide level using netsh.
I have executed the following command in netsh: "winhttp import proxy source=ie"
I would have expected netsh to pick up the proxy from the auto detect settings but unfortunately no proxy is set as a result of executing that netsh command. Strange enough, if I were to set the proxy settings manually in IE, the netsh import command would
pick this change and set the proxy successfully.
Please note that I have attempted this on Windows XP and Windows 7 (using both 32 and 64 versions of netsh) and the 'winhttp import source=ie' only works on XP when automatically detect settings is set in IE.
Any reason why netsh isn't picking up my auto detect settings on Win7?
Thanks
mskh

Please make sure to follow guide in the following link to manually configure proxy settings with netsh

Uncheck'Automatically detect settings' in Internet Explorer

Hi All
How to Uncheck 'Automatically detect settings' option in internet explorer using VBScript???

You can set this in the registry, using batch or vbscript:
HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Internet Settings/Connections/DefaultConnectionSettings
The 9th Byte should be changed to 09, this sets the checkbox to automatically detect settings.
I have used this to switch back between my auto-configuration script and automatically detect settings. If fast switching is what you are after I would use this approach, if you want to manage multiple computer, just push it via group policy.

Fax detect settings mx459

Hi, has anyone else had issue with fax detect settings on these units? I set it up to automatically detect which it will do, unfortunately it also squeals upon every single call you take about ten seconds into it....I either can bear with that or disable it to manual in which i miss all the faxes i get unless i notice them coming in....I also have an answering machine on this phone line just for more info. Anyone have any luck getting it set up to receive without the annoyances while talking on normal calls? Tried every different combination of setting on the device, followed the instructions in the manual and it still does the squealing when i take calls unless i put it on manual reception...

Hello mansfileddairy,
Setting the User-Friendly RX setting of the printer to ON may resolve the issue you are experiencing. To do this, please follow these steps:
Make sure that the machine is turned on.
Press the FAX button. The Fax standby screen is displayed.
Press the Menu button. The FAX menu screen is displayed.
Use the  button to select Receive mode set, then press the OK button.
Use the  button to select the TEL PRIORITY receive mode, then press the OK button. The confirmation screen asking whether to make advanced settings is displayed.
Use the  button to select Yes, then press the OK button.
Use the  button to select USER FRIENDLY RX, then press the OK button.
Use the  button to specify the ON setting, then press the OK button. The LCD returns to the Fax standby screen after you finish specifying all settings.
Hope this helps!

Turn off Auto Detect Settings in IE using GPO

As a follow-up on some kind of bug in sharepoint ( http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/sharepointgeneral/thread/f3dbe651-be99-491b-8c6c-fc4792ae0b22 ) I need to turn off Auto detect settings in IE on all my clients, as this speeds up sharepoint
on many clients.
"The Internet Explorer Maintenance settings can be set in two modes: policy mode (to enable by Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Group Policy\Internet Explorer Maintenance policy processing) or preference mode(to enable by right-clicking
Internet Explorer Maintenance)." (snipped from http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverGP/thread/57d81da5-de30-4930-8649-197d204b2a6c )
Well, I have problem configuring Automatically detect settings. I have no trouble changing other parts of the same policy (changes are applied to all my computers), e.g. trusted sites and such. However I cannot turn off Auto Detect settings. I wonder if unchecking
Auto Detect Settings really means "no change"/unconfigured?
Is the only option then to use a hardcoded reg change?
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ControlPanel\Autoconfig ?

As of IE10/11, this should be set in Group Policy Preferences: [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn338129.aspx]
User Configuration
   └ Preferences
      └ Control Panel Settings
         └ Internet Settings
Create a new IE10 configuration.
Remember you can enable or disable these settings within a preference item by pressing function keys:
F5
Enable all settings on the current tab.
F6
Enable the currently selected setting.
F7
Disable the currently selected setting.
F8
Disable all settings on the current tab.

Correct JavaScript Error Detect Settings for Acrobat X

Can someone tell me what the JavaScript preference settings should be on Acrobat X so Acrobat will detect errors/problems in my JavaScript scripts?
Thanks

Thank you. This is very helpful.
But i do not understand what to do =/
What i think:
Create a insertPages.js in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Javascripts
Content of insertPages.js:
this.insertPages(
{nPage: 0,
cPath: "///eukexsrv/Vorlagen_Prod_Auftr_PDF/Produktionsauftrag Deutsch.pdf",
nStart: 0,
nEnd: 13
Then open the PDF file and Add a button which runs the insertPages.js
-> HOW?
I can't see any option to run a script from mouse up
Also i get an error while opening acrobat:
TypeError: this.insertPages is not a function
7:Folder-Level:App:insertPages.js
Edit:
i edited my insertPages.js:
function inpa () {
this.insertPages(
{nPage: 0,
cPath: "///eukexsrv/Vorlagen_Prod_Auftr_PDF/Produktionsauftrag Deutsch.pdf",
nStart: 0,
nEnd: 13
And in the button i made Mouse up -> javascript
Code:
inpa();
Now i get this message:
NotAllowedError:Security settings prevent access to this property or method.
Doc.insertPages:8:Field Produktionsauftrag dt:Mouse Up

TS1814 I followed the instructions that were mentioned here and the "automatically detect settings" box was aleady marked with a "V".

Proper settings for my mini and my Panavision Plasma?

Today I got a brand new Mac mini. I had hoped to connect via HDMI to my 46" 1080P Panasonic Plasma. Unfortunately I was short an HDMI port. Fortunately my TV came with a VGA port. So I picked up an adapter from Apple (mini DVI to VGA) and I'm in business.
In Display settings when I choose "Detect Settings" nothing seems to happen. The default display setting seems to be 1024 x 768 at 60 hz. Knowing that I have a 1080P I decided to try the only setting that appeared on the list that ended in 1080P (1920 x 1080P at 60 hz) and the screen went blank.
So back to 1024 x 768 the picture looks okay. It's very slightly fuzzy. Maybe it would better to use the word 'Soft' instead of fuzzy. But I'm sure my TV is capable of much more.
So the big question is, what is the native resolution of a 1080P plasma? What settings should I be using? Shouldn't my mini auto detect the proper setting?
Thanks,
Bear

I'm having a tuff time determining the stated resolution using a pc input. Being a geek, first I searched for my models manual. I found a manual for the same model only 42" instead of my TVs 46". And in that manual I found the max res from the PC input is 1280 x 1024.
So I got my fat A_s out of the chair and checked my own PAPER manual hoping that the larger screen might have a different max res. Well my manual was made on the CHEAP. It's missing about half of the info of the one I found online at Panasonic. NO WHERE in the manual does it list any resolutions for use by the PC input. Further my specific model is not even listed on the Panasonic website. Apparently I own a red headed step child.
No haven't yet plugged 1280 x 1024 into the settings. I still don't understand why my TV is not auto detected. But now I'm reconsidering purchasing an HDMI hub. I guess I'll have to sleep on it.

How to use proxy settings for one website

Hello,
I have to access the only one website using Proxy settings and for others I don't need proxy to access. Is there a way to configure the internet settings to allow one website using Proxy... Please advise. Thanks!
Regards,
Aravin S

I am also getting this "error". The printer (8500 A910) connected to the web well enough that it went out and supposedly downloaded a new update, but then it was supposed to print a page showing the email address, but did not.
So I go in and try to set up the eprint, and it tells me it cannot connect to the sever and I'll need to enter a proxy address and port number. But my ISP's cable modems do NOT have any static IP address nor do they provide any sort of proxy service. Everything works just fine with "automatic discovery" (DHCP) for every computer in the house. No problems there.
So, since that's the case, of course I cannot look up some proxy address and port number in my web browser because they're all set up for "automatically detect settings".
What's baffling is that the printer connected to something at HP to download the "update", and it went through a process that appeared to be what I'd expect it to do if it was updating its firmware. But it won't connect to whatever it's supposed to connect to to have an email address assigned.
Does HP supply a proxy server? If so, what's its IP address or URL, and what port should a person set the printer to try to use?
UPDATE:
It appears that the HP site must have just been "down" for about six or seven hours while I was trying to get the printer to connect because it now connected and I got an email address asigned without needing to have any "proxy" stuff set up at all. It's a shame that the printer does not simply report "HP Site down - try again later" instead of reporting that you need to use a proxy when that's impossible.
"Now, on to the next problem which is that my emails to the assigned address are all bouncing with a "550 5.7.1 Command rejected" error!

Cannot update iPod software even after setting automatic detection

Hi, I've been trying to update the software on my 5th gen iPod but to no avail. I've recently bought the pod and just installed iTunes. It informed me that an update was available for the iPod but I can't get it! Everytime I click on Update in the Version section on iTunes, it says "iTunes could not contact the iPod software update server because you are not connected to the internet....Make sure you internet connection is active and try again". The connection is active and i've even tried the method in the hot topics support section telling you to go to 'LAN settings' under the 'Connections' tab in Internet Options and under Automatic Configuration, set it to 'Automatically Detect settings' but this has still not worked. Can someone please help me as this is doing my head in?!!!

yea... something like that is happening to me... when i try to update it (with itunes 7) it says that my firmware is "corrupt".... i dont know what this means because it had no problem updating b4... and no i didnt try to put linux or anything on it. it just wont update.
and if anyone knows.... y does my itunes symbol look like a picture with a camera in the corner... i just downloaded itunes 7 to my friend's computer and it looks just like last itunes but instead of a green music note infront of a cd... its a blue music note infront of a cd... and when i plugged my ipod into his computer it said that my ipod is up to date.... y is that?
