Disable compatibility settings in Win 8.1

Compatibility settings in Win 8.1 questions activity of Firefox and Thunderbird in Win 8.1. Requests disabling of those settings with no provisions to do so.

Hi natpen, you might be the first person trying Firefox on Windows 8.1. Would it be possible to post some screen shots of the error, since it may well be difficult for others to re-create? This article has some tips on that: [[How do I create a screenshot of my problem?]]

Cannot disable compatibility mode for all users once enabled

I work for a school district technology department. For a computer lab that is using an old version of adobe Photoshop, we tried turning compatibility mode to windows xp and set it to run as administrator for all users in hopes that it might fix some problems
with the program. When students log on it now asks them for a password. They do not have local administrator rights to the computers. After going back in and disabling the compatibility settings, the students are still being asked for a password to run the
program. I have even tried uninstalling and reinstalling photoshop and the computer is still asking for a password to open the program. Is there some way to undo this in a permanent fashion so students are not asked for a pssword?

Hello Mike Witnauer,
Please correct me if I have misunderstanding:
1. The student account can ran the Photoshop without administrator password before you turn compatibility mode to Windows XP.
2. Then, the students need the password to run the Photoshop no matter if you use compatible setting.
Please take the following steps and check if this issue still exists.
1. Enable built-in administrator account
2. Use the following code
runas /user:ComputerName\Administrator /savecred "Full path to program's exe file"
For more information, please take a look at the answer in the following thread.

Disabling "User settings" option from all the WDA applications.

Hello Experts,
We have implemented SRM business package.We want to disable right click "User settings" option from all the applications presented in SRM BP.
I know a way of disabling "User settings" by passing WDDISABLEUSERPERSONALIZATION parameter. We dont want to follow this approach as there are many applications and it would be difficult to change all the applications.
My question is do we have any settings ( may be in sicf ) which could disable "User settings" centrally for all WDA application on that particular server?
Thanks

Hi.
Don't know about ADF 11g R2
However with ADF 11g R1 11.1.1.6 exists a patch and a web.xml context param to solve it.
Applying patch and setting next context param in web.xml is solved:
<context-param>
<param-name>oracle.adf.view.rich.HIDE_UNSUPPORTED_BROWSER_ALERTS</param-name>
<param-value>IECompatibilityModes</param-value>
</context-param>Don't know if it runs in ADF 11g R2 apps.

Bridge CC crashed then windows7 applied compatibility settings to program

Hi, I couldn't find any info on this, so I'm wondering if any body can comment. I just opened CC Bridge, and I had a Data Disc in the computer and Bridge was trying to read or load alot of larger media files ( it was a Digital Juice 'Silhouettes' Disc) and tried to switch in to view my internal media drive and it just took a while, so it appeared that Bridge was still attempting to read the DJ disc, so, me being impatient, ( I know, I am a work in progress) ejected the disc, hoping it would 'release' Bridge of the duty...no luck, it hung and had a crash and a 'red x' error message, then windows said:
"Windows applied compatibility settings have been applied to program"
I'd like Adobe to know (is this the best place to log a crash?) And I read that I can't undo Windows compatibility settings...Should I be concerned? Any comments? Thanks.

c. Once you post something that's helpful I'm sure someone will give you a thanks, until then stop trolling these boards - your name was all over that thread with useless and unhelpful information
Well mister Chuck 'know it al', you can congratulate yourself. With just 2 posts in the past year and no points for helpful answers at al you come in hard and call one of the most helpful posters a troll.
This was the limit for both of us, we had to stand a lot, including no help from Adobe but a more crippled forum website after each major upgrade. No possibility to place FAQs, a lot of people screaming for help without taking the effort to look first for similar problems, almost never providing correct details, crucial for a mixed Mac/Windows forum.
We had to suffer a lot, getting in unpaid and just plain users like all other guests, only it did cost us a lot of spare time.
But now we can rest from this task because mister Chuck "know it al" has jumped in to the rescue.
I wish you good luck and pity your friends and family, it must be a difficult task to live with such a nice person.
Goodbye to you all!!

Chrome - have to disable security settings

When I launch my edge animate file and load in Google Chrome, it is saying that my site is not secure. I have to disable security settings to view. Have I loaded the file incorrectly? What is the work around for this? I cannot have my users disable their security settings to view my site.

Hi James
We need more info on this to understand the problem. Do you load the Edge Animate runtime over Adobe CDN or use the runtime locally? (You can check about these option in publish settings). Can you please share your composition with us so that we can take a look at it and narrow down what is actually causing a security issue?
Also can you pl see if your issue is similar to this forum post : Publish folder not displaying site in Chrome
Thanks

Call Forwarding, LED settings, e-mail invites, profiles, e-mail settings (who wins on conflict)

Hi, it is unbelievable how many things you guys from RIM got wrong in the past few years. no wonder you are going down. I am a BB long time fan and recently switched from the best BB ever (9900) with the worst battery life to the Q10. You have massive issues with this one:
- Can not forward to contact from phone book?! Are you kidding me? A feature, available from the dawn of mobile phones.
- can't change the LED red blink duration. The default is too short. I have to watch my phone all the time over the weekend. Why??? Fix it!!!
- One of the accounts I use is Yahoo. The stupid Q10 can not send invites via Yahoo account!!! Why? Fix it! The 9900 could.
- e-mail account settings - that's the big one. You got me really **bleep** here. Vodafone, UK disabled my SIM for few hours as I was testing something. The stupid Q10 erased 30 days of e-mails from my both accounts just like that. Why???? How could you do this to people? I guess you can't recover anything. Where is the setting that determines who wins b/n the device and the mailbox???? How can you launch a device without this setting.
- The way notification profiles are managed on the Q10 is like from the dawn of Symbian. Really basic and stupid. Why can't I manage the profiles like on 9900 or the older ones even?
- I will not even touch the way this Q10 copies text with the touch screen. I will start using bad language and it is not nice.
- One last thing: If you make BBM users from nonBlackberry OS to pay extra for this app, you will sign off the death sentence of your poor company. I warned you
Lett me know if I can recover any of my mails. You must have a copy in Slough, UK.
Regards,

It takes a while for a new OS to mature, just take a look at the first iPhone (no cut & paste among other missing features), the first android (no attachment in messages among other missing features) and perhaps you can look at it from a different perspective.
Version 10.2 fixes a few of the problems you have mentiodn and there are apps on the market for some of the others.
I myself think that BB10 is quite an achievement and if allowed to mature will be seen as the OS to copy not derise.
If you've been helped click on , if you've been saved buy the app.

Windows Easy transfer , ERROR message when trying to copy settings to Win 8 PC

I have a new hp-TouchSmart Envy 23. It has 2TB drive.
I want to use Windows Easy Transfer to move all my settings and data from the Windows 7 machine to the new hp-TouchSmart (my older PC is hp desktop is model # m9177c and has Win 7 OS) .
I have used easy transfer many times and I am reasonably experienced user .
I just cannot transfer my settings and data to my new PC. I have therefore copies all my data to the hp-TouchSmart . However I need to use Windows easy transfer to move all my settings. I have a very large number of settings , macros and much else that would take a very large amount of time to re-type.
I get an ERROR message when I want to transfer my settings. It says I don’t have enough disk space. The file I want to transfer is only 10.5 GB (after I removed all my data). The new machine has 2TB and yet I keep getting this error.
I have tried every possible way of transferring the settings , including : external drive; flash drive; direct wire ; easy transfer cable etc. I keep getting the same ERR message .
I am sure Easy transfer must allow transfer from Win 7 to Win 8. BUT HOW?
PLEASE do help. I would really appreciate very much .
THANK YOU
Adam

This thread may be useful.
Windows Easy Transfer will transfer from one drive to the other to mirror the original drive. What I suspect is happening is that the program is grabbing the D drive (recovery partition on most systems) and trying to transfer it to the new system which should also have a D drive. If that is happening,t hen that error will be thrown.
Try using the advanced options and view the report to see what exactly is happening and triggering the message.
Let me know what happens.
The document in the thread is for a previous version of Windows, but you can search for Easy Transfer Reports from the Start screen in Windows 8.

How to disabled 'user settings' in ALV by right clicking

Hi,
How to disable the 'user setting' context menu and corresponding popup after right clicking in the ALV.
I already tried parameter wddisableuserpersonalization = X but still I can do a right click and go to user settings.
Hope you can provide the right solution/method etc.
Thanks, John

Hi,
In my opinion this has nothing to do with auth settings... Has everything been transported cleanly?
You should double check the settings on your Acceptance machine, especially considering WD_GLOBAL_SETTING. If User-Personalization is allowed here, it will overwrite everything else.
Maybe also check WD_ANALYZE_CONFIG_USER on Acceptance machine and delete all personalizations for the user you are testing with. I once successfully messed up my Personalization with conflicting entries there...

Cannot recover Satellite to factory settings after Win XP installation

I was running windows recovery then I choose option "delete all data.... "something like that.
Then in the middle by mistake I turned off the system.
After I tried to started windows if was giving error "operating system missing". I manage to install WINDOWS XP so I might able to access HDD RECOVERY but nothing happened.
I tried pressing "F8" key and also "0" key when computer start at "toshiba" logo but it's still not giving me option to recover my computer back to windows vista or you can say "out of box state".
One Important things is, while installing windows XP its showed me that HDD recovery exists and only 973MB is free out of 5665MB. It means I still have all the windows and drivers on HDD. Now please help to recovery system back normal or OUT OF BOX STATE.

> After I tried to started windows if was giving error "operating system missing". I manage to install WINDOWS XP so I might able to access HDD RECOVERY but nothing happened.
The Win XP installation has damage and deleted the boot manager and the options preinstalled by Toshiba and supported by Toshiba image.
This means that if you will not be able to recover the unit using the HDD recovery option.
You could recover the unit back to factory settings only using the Toshiba recovery disk!!! But I assume you didnt create such disk is it right?
Well, in such case you could order such disk from here:

Disable Default Settings while saving Layout

Hi,
The client has a requirement wherein he wants to disable the "Default Setting" for all the Users and enable only the "User Specific" while saving a Layout in Standard Reports.
Guide me as to how i can address this issue.
Regards
PJ

Dear PJ,
As per me, instead of Functional Consultant, you must get in-touch with BASIS-Admin; particularly for this requirement.
As, what i know to achieve this, some settings needs to done in Parameter-ID (or Authorization Object - replace/ restrict access to Global layout) in T. Code: SU01/ SU3.
Can't comment much on the same.
Best Regards,
Amit.

GPP Internet Settings for IE 11 disable Zone settings

Hello!
We have to Rollout IE 11 to our whole client Environment ( Win7 Enterprise). But before we can do this we have to test it in our IT department. We want to make the settings with GPP. In the first step we only want to set the Proxy settings and the default
Homepage.
At this Point our troubles are starting. When we create a IE 10 Setting (which also applys to IE11) i can set what i want. everything is working on the Client. But i don´t want to set the settings from the security tab and i can´t disable this
with F7 because there is no red dotted nor a green line.
The reason why we don´t want do set this settings is very simple. We want that our colleagues can set every setting and give us then a feedback which settings they need to set for there web apps.
Any Ideas?
Kind Regards
Wolfgang Preisch

Hi,
As you knew, Internet Explorer Maintenance (IEM) could be used to configure Internet Explorer settings on computers where IE 9 or older version is installed. However, Any settings that you previously configured with IEM will no longer work on computers where
Internet Explorer 10 or newer is installed, regardless of the Windows version it’s been installed on. You must update your settings using Group Policy Preferences, Administrative Templates (.admx), or the Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK).
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj890998.aspx
Moreover, you can set security zone using registry entries.
