Does importing a custom altered new .adm file into mmc will overwrite the existing system.adm file?

Using Group Policy Objects to hide specified
drives
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/231289
i was about to hide few set of drives in my pc from other standard user's by using group policy object. but there are only few set of drives available by default. so by few surf in the official windows sites i found the above link that guide one to create
custom set of drives along the existing one in gpo, by creating a new .adm file and importing the same into it.
but my query is, in the given guide they have said that 
"Microsoft does not recommend to change the System.adm file, but instead to create a new .adm file and import this .adm into the GPO. The reason is that if you apply changes to the system.adm file, these changes might get overwritten if Microsoft
releases a new version of the system.adm file in a Service Pack."
so weather the new .adm (with different name) file that i am going to import into it will replace/overwrite the already existing template (that is "Hide these specified drives in My Computer" in the GPO) or create a new one under "Configuration
--> Policies --> Administrative Template --> Classic Administrative Templates. "
please suggest....
thanks in advance....

Hi,
Not really, the new .adm file won't replace/overwrite the already existing template. While, in my opinion, it would be better to make a backup for this default file in case there was any damage of your later operation.

    Hi
    The value of the Channel Strip volume etc is not stored within the C Strip setting, as you have discovered.
    If you really wanted, you could add a Gain plug to the strip, with it set to give the correct output level with the Fader set to 0
    (Or just set the fader manually in MS)

  • How to import original clips edited in After Effects into Adobe Premiere, without the After Effects

    What is the quickest and easiest way to bring clips that were edited within after effects into adobe premiere? I just want the original clip as it is cut, without any of the after effects manipulation. I am trying to gather the cuts of a green screen project together that was compiled and edited within Adobe After Effects, so they can be rekeyed. I want to detach all effects work, and just have a straight green screen cut of the original files. Each cut though, is its own compilation. Simply importing to a new sequence doesn't seem to be the answer because I first have to uncheck many effects to find the original clip buried beneath layers of mattes and various effects. I have probably 400 different cuts, and currently my workflow is super slow just searching for the original clip in after effects, looking for the time code, then matching the original clip and timecode into Premiere. Is there a faster an easier workflow?
    Thank you

    I just want the original clip as it is cut, without any of the after effects manipulation.
    Then you need the original clip.

    It's what you may need to do, though. Unless you know exactly where the clips are on the hard drive.

  • Having multiple tabs open in one window, and then opening a new window and closing it, will close the newly opened window, but it will want to close the other original window with the multiple tabs as well.

    This only happens if the original window has multiple tabs, and the new window has only ONE tab at the moment you close it.
    Also, the problem only occurs when TWO windows of firefox are open. So opening up a 3rd window, and then closing it, will not give you any problems. The interaction occurs between two windows of firefox only.

    This can happen if you drag a tab slightly down in the browser window while clicking.
    Firefox has a feature called tear-off tabs
    You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window.
    You can also do this via the right-click context menu of a tab: Move to New Window
    You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.

  • How can I transfer a profile to my new computer without overwriting the existing profile?

    I have a new Window 7 computer and have started using TB. I now want to transfer my messages from my old (Window XP) and do not want to overwrite the data in the new computer. Is there a way to transfer the old data and add it to the new profile?

    For downloads of CS3 see THIS thread.
    For your serial number, if Photoshop is still running on your old machine;
    Start Photoshop. Goto Help > System Info. Buried in amongst all the stuff in there will be your serial number. Read through it carefully.
    If Photoshop is not installed / running on your old machine, then you are indeed pretty much hosed.
    This is always assuming software that old will run successfully on a new machine, of course.

  • Customized delta data source for deleting data record in the source system.

    Hello Gurus,
           there is a customized delta data source,  how to implement delta function for deleting data record in the source system?
    I mean if there is record deleted in the source sytem, how to notify SAP BW system for this deleting change by this customized delta
    data source?
    Many thanks.

    Hi,
    when ever record deleted we need to write the code to insert the record in  Z table load this records into BW in a cube with similar structure.while loading into this cube multiply the Keyfigure by -1.
    add this cube in the Multi Provider.The union of the records in the orginal cube and the cube having deleted records will result in zero vale and will not be displayed in report .

  • Placing a new Jpanel on a JFrame without moving the existing components.

    I am creating an application in which data is entered over several screens a next button is used to get to the next screen similar to how a wizard functions. To do this I use a JFrame with several panels on top of it each panel on top of the jframe rather than on top of each other. Each panel contains buttons and radio buttons.
    The problem I have is that every time I drag a new Jpanel on to the JFrame it pushes all my carefully arranged controls on the existing panel to the side. The problem seems to be partly because when a new panel is dragged on to the screen it is placed as a component on the already existing panel rather than on the JFrame.
    Is there a way to freeze the components on the panel so they wont more or to place a panel directly onto the jframe rather than onto the previous jpanel to avoid disrupting the previous frame.
    I have played around with the properties but have not had any luck.
    Thanks for any help.

  • Can I import a custom component from Flash 8 into Flex?

    'm creating a custom Flash Video Playback component in Flash
    8 using AS2. I understand that I cannot import this to Flex as
    stated in Livedocs: "You can use SWC files created in Flash 8 only
    for skinning, not as components. Until the next version of Flash is
    released, you can only use SWC files created in Flex 2 as
    components."
    But now that Flash 8 supports AS3 with the new Adobe Labs
    add-on, if I create the custom component using AS3 in Flash 8, can
    I then import it and use it in Flex 2.0.1?
    Any help is appreciated,
    Thanks!

    I was going through my libraries trying to find the quick test I did when I was dabbling with the kit and I can't find it anywhere at all.
    If I recall this was the pdf that I read to get it to work properly with CS3 and Flex 3 I don't know if you have read it already or if it will help, but it is the only thing I know for sure helped with the process.

  • Why does my infrared custom white balance not load into Lightroom or CameraRaw?

    The preview shows the correct WB, but the full render removes WB and any monochromatic color profiles.
    Correct WB that I want. As seen from back of camera
    Once the full preview loads. DO NOT WANT.
    White balance is at 2000, the coolest it can go. I cannot recreate the custom WB that is in camera. I can make all of the B&W, but I want the custom WB so I can do a proper channel mix in PS.
    Thank you for any help.

    You can use the DNG Profile Editor to add a negative bias to the WB settings in an existing camera profile and save it as a new profile (for IR) so you can adjust the effective WB lower than 2000K:
    http://stevencastle.wordpress.com/2010/07/17/processing-infrared-shots-in-adobe-camera-raw /
    It still won’t pick up what the camera did, but you can adjust things lower, at least.

  • My early 2011 MacBook Pro says battery not detected and does not work with a new battery either. Works only with the charger plugged in.

    About a year back i had replaced the MLB of my early 2011 macbook pro and it was all working fine. A month back my battery went dead saying "Battery Not Detected". I went to Ample technologies, Bangalore, India and gave it for diagnosis. Ample technologies are the authorized Apple support service in Bangalore, India. After 3 days and no phone calls they email me that "They feel that the MLB MIGHT be the problem and they want to test it by replacing the MLB and i have to pay for their testing". I had already spent 40k indian rupees ($700) less than a year back to replace an MLB and now they want to replace it again at the cost of 43k ($750) indian rupees. I have no idea what to do now. Spending 80k indian rupees ($1400) in less than a year to replace the MLB twice sounds unfair to me. Can someone help me out here ? Is there a valid warranty period applicable , since i have changed the MLB a year back ?

  • HT201250 How do you let time machine know that a restored drive does not need a brand new backup set and just append to the old one?

    I had an external drive failure and had to buy a brand new drive.  I was able to restore my info onto a new drive, about 1.5 TB of data.  When I go to launch time machine now with the new drive connected and my backup connected, it treats the new drive as if it had different data and wants to create a whole new backup set when it should just append.  How do I get around this?
    I could just reformat the backup drive and start fresh again but would rather not do that if I can avoid it, just in case there were errors in copying etc.

    Hi
    I should have been more clear, sorry.  I work from a laptop.  I have 2 external drives - one for my projects which failed but has since been replaced and restored from a backup.   My 2nd external drive  is the time machine backup drive.
    When my project drive crashed, I bought a brand new drive and restored it using my time machine backup drive.
    Now the data exists on 2 drives - the time machine backup drive, and the new drive.  When I connect the backup drive now, it thinks my new drive has new data, probably since it is a new device/drive, and wants to do a brand new backup, when in fact the data already exists on that very drive.  It shouldn't have to back up all 1.5 TB when nothing has changed!
    Unless there is a way to tell time machine to simply append to the old backup, I think it will try and do a new backup (1.5 TB).  I'm thinking maybe I should just initialize my time machine backup drive now and start over so it is only one backup set of 1.5 TB instead of (2) sets of 1.5 TB!

  • Am upgrading to Lion.  Does anyone know if this new system will replace the operating system presets for printing that are on Leopard?

    Having trouble with my print operating system.  It will not hold presets.  If I upgrade to Lion, will Lion replace Leopard's print operating system?

    It'll likely replace the printer drivers too since some older drivers may rely on Rosetta, which Lion eliminates. Along with new drivers, you may loose printing capabilities, as I did with a legacy Epson printer. Since you're in the Mac Pro forum, if you actually have a Mac Pro, it might be wise to install an additional hard disk and run the Lion upgrade on that. Try it out and see if you actually get an improvement. If not, you've still got Leopard to retreat to and an extra disk to back up on.

  • I want to import bookmarks (.json) from my old computer BUT i do NOT want to overwrite the existing bookmarks on my new computer. How can I do this? Other solutions simply restore (i.e., overwrite)...

    Windows 7, FF 10.0.2. (The old computer was probably like XP and a very old version of FF...)

    All good ideas!! However, here's another twist. There are actually TWO old computers--my old personal laptop and my old work computer--different sets of bookmarks. And no, I don't have access to either computer anymore.
    However, it sounds like I can do two iterations of AliceW's suggestion--i.e., Export my current bookmarks, restore first old computer bookmarks, export restored bookmarks, restore second old computer bookmarks, then reimport both created sets to merge into a new super bookmarks. Is that correct?
    I think I'll go take a walk in the park first to clear my head... then I'll come back and try it. It sounds quite easy in principle.
    Thanks to all!!! I'll let you know how it goes! :)
