DISABLE "open other users folder"

We need to find out how to STOP users from being able to open others folders through File/Open other users folder in Outlook 2010. We are on Exchange 2010 and this has become an issue. All we can find it how to do it, not how to stop it from being possible.
HELP!!! Thanks!

Hi,
We can also try to disable the open Other User's Folder button (Make it grayed out) so that user's can't click on it.
To do this, we can use Group Policy and Control IDs to do this. See:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc179143(v=office.14).aspx
http://www.slipstick.com/how-to-outlook/group-policy-disable-commands/
The Control ID used to disable Other User's Folder button is
1863.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards,

Outlook connector - how can I open other users calendars at startup?

Hello!
How can I open a list of other users calendars at startup (outlook with Oracle outlook connector software installed)?
Is it possible?
Regards,
Konstantin.

Question:
Were you able to solve this issue? I too would like to have the ability to automatically open other users' calendar when Outlook loads.
I did find one unreliable workaround is this; I am able to add a link of the other users' calendar on the shortcut bar. This way, when a user logs on, s/he can click on the link to get to other's calendars.
However, I say its unreliable because every once in a while, I get the error message "Unable to display the folder. Microsoft Outlook could not access the specified folder location. The entry Id passed in does not refer to a valid object."
To resolve this, I must go back to files -> open -> Other user's folders. Open the calendar before it works agin.

Library missing, holding down option/go/library opens my user folder. Now what?, Library missing, holding down option/go/library opens my user folder. Now what?

Library missing, holding down option/go/library opens my user folder. Any ideas?

It should open the Library within the User's folder. What does it say at the top of the resulting pane?

How do I remove "other users" folder in mail and on my iPhone

On one account only I have "other users" folder that lists all of the folders of every user on the server. On my iphone I have to scroll past pages of other user folders to get to any folder named with anything after "O"
Does anyone know how to get the server to stop showing "other users" in both mail and iphone mail?

Unfortunately that is really the only work around since
Comcast uses POP3 and not IMAP like Gmail or
iCloud.
I had received an email quite some time ago that they
were beta testing IMAP with select customers but I doubt
if it has gone much further than that.

Connector for outlook - open other user's calendars

Hello!
Is it possible to save in outlook(with connector, R2) information about opened other users calendars?
If I select from menu "File/Open/Other users"
calendars are opened for current outlook session and not saved for the next outlook run.
In Exchange this is normally done from Control Panel/...
Is this function available in some different view or I must use macro recorder?
Regards,
Konstantin Kunshchikov.

You can go in the System Preferences/Mail, Contacts & Calendars. There you can set up an Microsoft Exchange, gmail... account. It will appear in your Mail application after you set it up from there. You will also see them separately on the sidebar in mail.

Mail Not Launching When Trying to Open from User Folder

Mail is not launching when I try to open it from within the home folder in my user folder. I have reported the problem to Apple.
It does, however, launch when I try to open it from within the Applications folder.
Any ideas why?
Thanks in advance.

I do have a MS Intellipoint driver of some kind, what do you mean by "check for it"? Try a different mouse? If I uninstall the driver, will any mouse still work?
This might not have any effect on your Adobe programs, but earlier InteliPoint drivers have caused major issues with several Adobe programs. Going back a couple of years, MS did change the InteliPoint drivers, and all was good for about a year. Then, recently, a change was made, and other problems developed with Adobe programs. Most of these were noted in Adobe PrPro. I do not recall any here.
In those other cases, the users replaced the InteliPoint drivers with the generic mouse drivers, and the problems disappeared. Do not know if this will have any impact on your issue, but GUI problems have been cleared up with the replacement of the InteliPoint drivers.
All that I hope is that you will find a cure to this issue. I would be very nervous, should my Assets disappear from my Windows Explorer, or similar.
Good luck,

Open Default User Folder

Hi
I have created a Folder named UserDocs to which everyone has read access.
Under that Folder i have created UserA and UserB Folders.
Only UserA has access to userA Folder.
Only UserB has access to userB Folder.
Now i am using KM Navigation iview to show the documents in these folders to UserA and UserB.
When UserA accesses the iView he can see the Folder userA
When UserB accesses the iView he can see the Folder userB
As Users dont want to open their Folders and then see the documents,what i need is
when UserA access the iView he should directly see the Documents inside the
userA Folder.
when UserB access the iView he should directly see the Documents inside the
userB Folder.
Can we have a setting by which the Folder can be opened by default ?
Regards
Rajendra

Hello Rajendra,
The requirement you have mentioned is possible and I tried it out myself
I have the following folder hirarchy under KM
root/documents/Users Documents/
Under the Users Documents folder I have directories with the user name so if a user is ronald then the directory is named ronald.
After that I created a KM navigation iview with the following as the dir path - /alias/documents/User Documents/<user.id>/ and it works.
Thanks,

'log' file in user folder

I just opened my "User" folder in the finder and noticed there is a random file in there named 'log'.
When i open it in textedit, there is just one line of text: "cp_plugin_dir:/Users/Mitchell/Library/Internet Plug-Ins"
What is this file and is it safe to delete?
Thanks

I don't know what caused it but it only a (misplaced) log file so you can safely delete it. Of course whatever caused it (a poorly written internet plugin installer?) may create it again so the mystery of the cause remains. Keep an eye out for it and maybe you can associate some action you do with its reappearance.

Unexpected Access to Other Users' Accounts

I just discovered tonight that I when I search for files, files in other user's accounts on this computer show up. I can open them too, but throwing them away requires that user's password. Searching the internet to see if this is a normal feature, I find questions about how to access other user's files and comments that even administrators cannot do this. Is this normal or abnormal behavior? Fast user switching is not enabled. Does anyone know where solid information can be found about the "barriers" between users' accounts? Thanks.

Ah, thanks, BDAqua. I see that at the user level, each user folder is set to read only. So if the users aren't saving their files in their enclosed "no access" folders, but at their base user level, they are read only. If we set each user folder to "no access", then others would not be able to access the shared folder either. Is there a way to set access priviledges for users on this computer so that they're the same for users on this network? Users on the network only see the "drop box" when they open a user folder.

How can I access my user folder on a second boot partition?

Hi there. Thank you for reading this. I am at a bit of a loss although I have searched several forums to find someone having the same problem:
I use my Macbook Pro in the office and at home. To keep things strictly apart and have to separate Time Machine backup procedures, I have divided my harddrive into two boot partitions ('office' and 'private') and installed Mountain Lion on both of them. Now occasionally when I am at the office I would like to access my user folder on 'private' to retrieve a file from the documents folder there (e.g. a paper I gave in my free time but would like to send to a colleague). Now although I see the 'private' volume, and the other user folder and the Documents folder in it with a red 'No Access' badge, even when I set read/write permissions via Command-I > Permissions for my current account, I do not see any files in it apart from Microsoft User Data. I have tried enabling the root user but with the sam result.
Do I really have to shut down the computer and boot with the 'private' boot volume in order to access the files on 'private'>user?
Looking forward to your suggestions! Thank you in advance!
Christian

To solve this issue permanently, is to first disconnect both TimeMachine drives.
Boot into one partition and consider it history, make a note of everything, apps, export bookmarks, serial keys and files to a regular external drive. (non TimeMachine)
If on a hard drive, consider the first partition for performance, the second one is going to be slower. (SSD no need)
Next what you do is boot into the first partition and use Disk Utility to erase (with zero option if a hard drive) the other partition. Then use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the first partition to the second. (should be about equal sizes or tweak before cloning.)
Repair permissions on both partitions in Disk Utility.
Next boot into the second partition and install/uninstall apps and files. etc and set it backup up the way you had it.
Once your sure, then update TimeMachine for each one.
Now you will be able to easily access the other bootable partition as long as your logged into the same account name on the first partition., in other words you can access the same named account on both partitions and trade files without rebooting.
Because it's a clone, you have the same access privileges to the files on the other partition.
If your a power user, your going to find bootable clones are a much superior option than TimeMachine

Keeps trying to start on other user accounts

When multiple users are logged in, iTunes keeps trying to start up on the non-active users' accounts and failing. I've found past threads with no answers to this issue, so is there a solution to this problem?

I use a PC running Vista Ultimate 64 and I have the same problem. In fact, I'm having it now, as I write. When one user on my machine has iTunes open, other users will get the error messsage window that says you can't start iTunes because someone else has it open. EVEN WHEN YOU'RE NOT TRYING to run iTunes. When I have the Windows Task Manager open, iTunes.exe will NOT be running, then suddenly you see it there and the message appears. When the message disappears, iTunes.exe disappears from the task manager. A little while later, you see iTunes.exe reappear, and the error window open...
Sure, if I close iTunes on the other user, it solves the problem as a work around, but I want to fix it.
I've removed iTunes from startup, unchecked "look for shared libraries", installed the 64 bit iTunes through Internet Explorer, yada, yada, yada...
Is there no iTunes tech support from Apple???

Applying filter to 'Other Users' has stopped working (v1.0.0.15.57)

With no apparant reason (or changes to my workstation), the apply filter feature to limit 'Other Users' has stopped working. The problem began on the day that SQLDev failed to display the navigation frame.
I've got the nav frame back, but the filter on 'Other Users' still doesn't work.
Can anyone tell me where the filter entries are stored?
Oh, what's worse, the initial display of 'Other Users' does not include the entire list. Today the 'Show more/All users' failed to expand the list to all users. One of the users not initially displayed owns files to which I need access. (The solution was to stop and restart SQLDev - but that is a pain is the a$$.)

Editing preference files is not supported. Doing so can corrupt the settings and cause SQL Developer to run improperly.
Okay, having gotten that out of the way, let me see if I can help you get this sorted out. The filters are stored inside the preferences.xml file, located under jdev\system\oracle.onlinedb.11.0.0.37.42.
The first step is to back up this file. Once you have done that, you can try to remove the filter info. The preferences in the file are stored as keys and values. Search for the key with the text 'ConnectionOptions'. Under the value element associated with this key, there should be a filterMap element. This element contains all of the navigator filters. Each filter will look like this:
<Item>
<Key><others>@local</Key>
<Value class="oracle.jdeveloper.cm.dt.browser.SchemaFolderFilter">
<filter>
<Item>FOO</Item>
<Item>SYS</Item>
<Item>SYSTEM</Item>
</filter>
<visibleObjectsOnly>false</visibleObjectsOnly>
</Value>
</Item>
In this case, this is a filter on the Other Users folder. To clear the filter, remove the entire item element (that is, delete everything between and including the <item> and </item>.
This should restore the navigator filter back to its initial state (that is, no filter).
Let me know if this doesn't work, and I'll come up with some other things to try.

3 user profiles on mac book pro. cant see one account in time machine - has it backed up? and for other users ''no permission'' to open folders - i just want to know that stuff IS backed up (before attempting upgrade to lion)

We have 3 user profiles on mac book pro. want to upgrade to lion but want to be sure that all users are backed up to ext hard drive via Time Machine. When I go into Time Machine - I cant find anywhere my user account (1 of the 3) - loads of photos and documents. For other user accounts - if i go to open a folder i cant ''no permission'' is the message. All I want to be sure of is that there is a back up and for these 2 reasons I am far from sure.

Be sure they're not excluded in Time Machine Preferences > Options.
Also, if iPhoto is open while a backup is running, Time Machine may not be able to back up the changes in the iPhoto Library. It will "catch up" the next time, if it can.
For other user accounts - if i go to open a folder i cant ''no permission'' is the message. All I want to be sure of is that there is a back up and for these 2 reasons I am far from sure.
That's correct; one user, even an Admin user, doesn't normally have access to another user's files. You should see the same behavior if you try to look at their data on your Mac.
Log on as the other users (or have them do it) to see their backups.

I saved my "users" folder to an external HD. I did erase and install on my imac. Now how do i get the accounts to open up on the fresh installation?

To move a home folder, create a new home folder, copy the contents of the old home folder into the new home folder, and then delete the old home folder. Take a look at this link, http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/UserMgmt_v10.6.pdf

Folder level Javascript disabled for a user

Hi Gurus,
I created a folder level JS, it works fine on all computer here exept on one. On one computer, the javascript's in the pdf are working but the function called in the folder level script is not executed. (when it works on all the others). The script is in the right folder and the pdf works on other computers. Do I have to enable something in the preferences of acrobat reader 9.1. I checked the settings for JS in edit/preference and they are the same as for the others.
Thanks for your help guys.

All the script does it to generate a mail with the mailto function. The Preferences-JavaScript are set as on my pc. So it must be something else. If I email the pdf to my pc, it works, so the pdf form is fine, the script is the same as on my pc.

That's why I recommended to make a
test script, to make sure folder-level
scripts are working on this machine.
There's no setting to specifically allow folder-level
scripts. If they are
properly placed and JS is enabled then they will launch.
However, if your script inserts menu items you should make
sure that this
option is checked under Preferences-JavaScript, the second
check-box from
the top. You should probably check all 4 boxes, just in
case.
