Disable ThinkVantage Button and F11

Is there a way to disable the blue thinkvantage button and f11 key restore functionality on R61 laptops? I have about 900 of the R61 Laptops in a school invironment and would prefer that a student did not perform a restore.

And how might one disable the "Predesktop" area. Not an option in the R61
From a lurker:
"Short of removing the partition and/or replacing the boot manager, you don't disable the predesktop area. Again, the best protection mechanism to keep unwanted users out of PE is to password protect it via pe_setupmasterpwd.exe.
Alternatively, in a domain environment, recovery and restore options in PE can be hidden via GPO."

Urgent! "ThinkVantage" button and F11 don't work after disk partition.

I just bought a ThinkPad T400 last week.
At first, I partitioned the C disk into 3 disks: C, D, E. I didn't change EISA partition.
Then I use "Rescure and Recover " to reinstall Vista and restore the system.
After it finished, I can enter Windows, but windows is not installed properly, without many funtions. And I can't install software to solve the problems because Windows Installer is no correctly installed. Furthermore, driver letters are changed, i.e., after restoring system, SW_Preload disk becomes "F:" instead of "C:" before restoring.
I then restarted the computer and want to rescure my T400 via "ThinkVantage". After pressing "ThinkVantage" button, system just asked me choose from "F1- BIOS, F11-Rescure". But when input "F11", the PC still can not enter "Rescure and Recovery" .
I searched Google about this, somebody said disk partition may lead to thinkvantage error. If it's the case, how to solve the problem?
Thanks a lot！

hi,
i have the same problem. i have t400 with vista. i try to enter into the recovery but it is not going. so since it was urgent i installed xp. i havent changed the partition size. now it is not even showing the f11 option to enter the recovery. initially when i tried to enter into the recovery a blue screen used to come and the message used to display. it said a problrm was detected and to prevent damage to the computer windows is shutting down. so i called lenovo and they sent me the recovery disk. but when i run the recovery disk it shows the screen windows is loading files. then again blue screen appears with the same old message. even that recovery disk is not entering into the recovery. i dont know what to do. if anyone knows what to do please let me know. my email address is [email protected]

Specify an id attribute for the button you created. Set the value for the id to be 'P9_MY_BUTTON'
<input type="button" id = 'P9_MY_BUTTON'
onclick="clickFunction('Confirmation message goes here')"
value="Text to display on button"
title="Tooltip text to display"
style="" />varad

How To Disable Print Button And Download Button In PDFViewer In Firefox? I just love the pluggin but my boss want it can be disabled, just to show the pdf.

I just develop a web based program that my boss want to just show a pdf to his employee... but that my boss just want to show that pdf and cant print or save or download it... thanks... sorry for my english...

Sorry, your boss can't control what happens on a users PC. A website can't change what plugin is used to display a PDF file in Firefox, not can a website disable or block access to features or controls in the PDF Viewer.

Is it possible and legal to disable home button and the screenshot feature in an ipad app?

I am being asked to develop an iPad app that can't be closed until some actions are done, also it must prevent the use of screenshot feature and the home button. Is this possible? Is this legal? In case of this not being legal what would happen (in legal terms) if I do develop it?

It's impossible to develop an iPad app that can't be closed until some actions are done. The iPad programmer cannot override what happens when the user presses the 'Home' button. The 'Home' button will always tell the front application to go to the background, and if that application doesn't cooperate within a reasonable time it will be terminated.
Bear in mind that an iPad is an overgrown iPhone. It's always possible that someone will phone you up when you're running an app, and the app must release control and let you answer that phonecall.
I suggest you discuss the design philosophy with whoever wants the application, remembering that computers are meant to help us do what we want to do, not boss us about.

Disable Navigation Button and Variation Option In report S_ALR_87013614

Dear Friends,
I have one an issue with Standard Report S_ALR_87013614,
In this report (standard) normally displayed Navigation tab on left hand corner in the oput format for expanding the report...in our case that tab is appreard in active mode
Please give me an Idea
Thanks
Suresh Polineni

Hi Kamlesh,
the variation is set to 'do not explode' in the report 1SLK-001 (S_ALR_87013614)
You can check this using the following path in transaction GRR3 (library 1VK) report 1SLK-001:
Menu: Edit -> Variation, you will see that the variation is set to 'Do not explode'.
This is why navigation between the different reports or variation is not
available in this report, (the icons are greyed out).
Iif you wish to have this functionality, then you can copy the report and change
the variation as follows:
-> via GRR1 create a copy of the standard report using report 1SLK-001 as
    a reference, ('Copy from'-field).
-> in this new report you can then via Edit->Variation change 'Cost Element
     from 'Do not explode' to 'explode', and CO area from 'Do not explode'
     to 'Variation sing. val'."
Regards,
Greta

Bitlocker & ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery on 64 Windows 7 Enterprise

Hi
I am attempting to setup ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery 4 on a X300 ThinkPad with 64bit Windows 7 Enetrprise and BitLocker enabled. A installed ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery 4 after turning on BitLocker, as stated in considerations in ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery 4 readme file. When I press the blue ThinkVantage button and then F11, it starts ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery 4, but shortly after splash screen with life-belt appears the notebook restarts and BitLocker requires keyfile to continue. When I give it the key file it boots nomally. However if I restart and attempt to enter ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery 4 again - the same story repeats, so I'm unable to use ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery 4. Then I disabled BitLocker encryption on boot drive, and ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery 4 started to work normally, without touching anythnig else.
So, finally are Bitlocker & ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery 4 compatible on 64 Windows 7 Enterprise? Any one having success with this combination?
Thanks, George

Its a known bug already reported by many thinkpad users running 64bit versions of Win7,Microsoft might issue a fix.If you want to report it to them

Is it possible to disable a button in the Headstart 6i Toolbar/smartbar?

In a master/detail form, which I'm developing, I want to disable
the Create Record button in the Toolbar the moment I enter the
detail block.
I've tried using QMS$TOOLBAR.DISABLE_BUTTON in the WHEN-NEW-
BLOCK-INSTANCE, but that wouldn't work.
I'm using Headstart 6i.
Can somebody tell me if it's possible to disable the buttons and
if so, how?
Regards,
Ivo Hensgens

Yes, you can disable a button on teh smartbar.
You do this by disabling the associated menu item.
Use: QMS$MENU.DISABLE_ITEM or QMS$FORM_FUNCTION.DISABLE.
(See page 14-9 en 14-10 of the User Guide)
In your case you can use:
QMS$FORM_FUNCTION.DISABLE('CREATE_RECORD');
By the way: there is now a seperate forum for Headstart.

How can i disable a submit button and execute submit_action method on click

Good Day,
On my page I have a submit button that execute the submit_action method of the page backing bean that submit data captured on the page into a database and activate another class that send mail at the same time on a click of the submit button,the mail process takes a while before returning back to the page.I was able to disable the submit button to prevent the user from keep click while the process is running but the issue is on clicking the submit button it only disable the submit button without executing the submit_action method of the page backing bean.How can i disable the submit button and execute submit_method of the backing bean at the same time.
Thanks in advance.

I tried this out on one of my pages to see if it works.
First, I added the following JavaScript to my submit button's onClick event:
this.disabled=true; return true;When I clicked the submit button, it was disabled but the form was not submitted.
I deleted the JavaScript from the onClick event and added the following JavaScript to the form's onSubmit event:
var button = document.getElementById("form1:submitButton"); button.disabled=true; return true;When I click the submit button, it was disabled and the form was submitted but the button's action method was not called.
The next thing I tried was to change the onSubmit event code:
var button = document.getElementById("form1:submitButton"); setTimeout("button.disabled=true", 500); return true;This seemed to work. The difference was that I added a 1/2 second delay before disabling the button.
See if that works for you. If not then I'm fresh out of ideas.

How can I disable right/left mouse buttons and scroll wheel in PDF?

Hi all,
I want the user to have to click on "forward" and "back" buttons that I've created in the PDF, in order to move around in it. Is there any way to disable the mouse buttons and scroll wheel from allowing users to go back and forth?
Also, a separate question: I want the user to click on embedded images and receive either a pop-up comment, or be re-directed to another page in the PDF. Is there any way to set this up?
Thanks for your time!

You can achieve what you want in Question 1, just not via scripting. You would need to create a plug-in in C/C++ that would be installed on the client machine. Other than that option, try67 is correct - there is no way to achieve this from the document-level.
