DW 4 - can I stop it from opening the objects window by default

I've used Dreamwaver 4 for years, and have closed the objects
windows a few hundred thousand times because it opens by default
every time I open an html file. Is there any way to set the default
so that the objects window does NOT open automatically. The
properties window also opens by default, but that is fine. Any
suggestions on how to stop the object window from opening every
time, or even if it can be done...

Pure guesswork, but when I had problems with iTunes launching again and again, the reason were my external speakers. I simply had to unplug the speakers from the line-out socket, and iTunes stopped launching on its own.

How can you stop slideshow from resizing the browser window iframe ?

Does anyone know where the code is that causes the iweb slideshow to resize the browser window when it is opened?
When it is placed on a page using <iframe src="http://homepage.mac.com/coreydee/slideshow/index.html" width="760" height="580" scrolling="no" style="border:none;" frameborder="0"></iframe> It resizes the browser window when it starts.

The iWeb .Mac slideshow, which you previously tried to add in an iframe, does have a function to resize the window. But it would not cause the whole window to resize, just page within the iframe so you would never know.
However, the autoviewer one you are using should not do this.

How can I stop Safari from opening new windows unless I want them?

Since Safari 5.02, there is no box to check in the General Preferences to stop Safari from opening a new window when I click on a link. My expectation is to only go to a new window when I want to do it. Most of my searches go down a rabbit hole and I just want to go backwards without closing page after new open page (Same problem with Tabs. I don't want new Tabs all the time either. In fact, the only time I really care about multiple open Tabs or Windows is when I need more than one Window open for data comparison or something like that...)
This is an incredibly annoying new behavior of Safari that I want to shut off. I have 20 windows open in the Window list right now. (I regularly shut off Safari to clear up all the useless abandoned windows.) Firefox doesn't do this, but I prefer Safari.
I tried to search this one, but maybe am not framing the question properly. See lots of discussion of forcing new tabs, but that is not what I am looking for....Can anyone help me?

Thanks Baltwo,
I will try it, but I don't want new pages in tabs either. I simply don't want the link to open in a new page or tab unless I ask for one. My initial trial has google links opening in new tabs. Why can't I just go down the paths on the same page like the old days? Especially after I find what I want, I will go somewhere else.
With your recommendation, I think that instead of pages open, I will have an abundance of tabs?
Guess I am getting inflexible in my old age. If this is the only option, it is an "improvement" that I don't like yet.
Firefox doesn't do it.

I just updated to 9.0.1 and now I get 4 tabs opening every time. (Welcome to Firefox, Mozilla Firefox Start Page, Plugin Installed & The Personas Interactive Theme) I can not stop them from opening.

How can I stop ID from opening docs in full screen

How can I stop ID from opening docs in full screen in ID 5.5?

You didn't answer the OS question, but I'm going to presume it's some version of OS X. This has been, I think, a common complaint among Mac users, but as a PC person I don't remember what exactly can be done about it, if anything. On thing you might want to try is using the Application Frame.

How can i stop preview from opening firefox?

How can i stop preview from opening firefox? I'm on a late 2007 macbook pro running Mountain lion. I would rather have it open Safari when I click on a link within a pdf not firefox. Help?

Thanks Kappy! Tho I feel a bit silly that it was that easy.

How can I stop Firefox from opening (to "File Not Found") when opening my Opera browser?

Ever since I installed Opera 10.61 on my new computer (Windows 7 Ultimate operating system), whenever I open Opera, Firefox opens one second later with the following error message:
'''File not found '''
Firefox can't find the file at /C:/Users/Nasheed/AppData/Local/Opera/Opera/temporary_downloads/client-en.xml.
* Check the file name for capitalization or other typing errors.
* Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted.
TRY AGAIN.

This happens EVERY TIME I OPEN THE OPERA BROWSER. How can I stop this from happening? I'm stumped.
[EXTRA INFO - I was unable to enable Firefox to access my previous profile on the new computer (despite putting the old profile in the appropriate Mozilla Firefox folder. So, there are now two profiles in that location.
After reading the answer to another forum member's question, I attempted to resolve the problem using Profile Manager, but I was unable to locate the Profile Manager. The Windows "Search" feature is not enabled on my new computer (nor can it be enabled from the Customize Start Menu options).]

Thank you for your response, Cor-el.
I had Opera set as my default browser since this began happening. I changed my default browser back to Firefox mainly because having Firefox open one or two seconds every time I open Opera was/is such a nuisance.
I believe this problem began because I attempted to manually transfer the files from my old computer to the new one (via the backed up files in my external drive). I was unfamiliar with Windows 7 when I did this. Microsoft changed the file set up from what I had been used to in Windows XP. I used XP for six years before being exposed to Windows 7 (I never had Vista).
I'm almost sure this problem has something to do with where I placed the application data when I was trying to reestablish the program set up on the new computer.

Can't stop applications from opening automatically at login

A few months ago I tried the "open at login" feature for 4 of the applications in my dock. I have decided it is more of a hassle than it's worth and unchecked "open at login." That didn't stop them from opening automatically. I went into Accounts and made sure the "Login Items" tab was empty. That also didn't work. I even added the programs into the tab, restarted and deleted them. I searched the Apple website and read that you can bypass applications launching automatically by holding shift at the blue screen on startup and then again after typing the password. I set the computer to not login automatically and hold shift every time I start the computer up. I would like to know if anyone else has had this problem and what they did about it. Is there a way to stop them from opening without having to log in every time? Thank you.

go to the directory homedirectory/library/preferences and delete the files loginwindow.plist and com.apple.loginitems.plist. Then log out/in normally. nothing should start up by itself.

How do I stop Firefox from opening a new window when I go to a search item?

When I do a search, and click on a topic, Firefox opens a new window on the tool bar at the bottom of my screen. How can I stop this from happening?

I'm guessing you use Google for search. There is a setting in Google search to open each result in a new window. (When you use tabbed browsing, that means each result opens in a new tab.) You can check on whether you have that setting turned on as follows:
On a Google results page, click the button on the right side with the "gear" icon, then click Search Settings from the drop-down list. At the bottom of the page is the setting to open results in a new window.
Is that the culprit?

How Can I Stop Tabs from Opening in a New Window?

Since I updated to the newest version of Firefox, I am PLAGUED by a problem, and I can't get it to stop. When I return to Firefox and click on any tab, it almost always causes that tab to open in a new window. I understand this is a feature--drag a tab into the screen and it will cause that tab to open as a window, but I am not meaning to drag these tabs! I am using Firefox EXACTLY as I have used it for years, but for some reason, it seems to be interpreting my clicks differently--either I am dragging the tab a *tiny* bit, or it is simply registering that I have dragged the tab when I haven't. Is there a way to disable this feature? Or a way to decrease the sensitivity of the thing, so that you have to actually drag the tab all the way into the window before it opens as a new window? It is truly making me batty. I'm about to switch permanently to Chrome.
To be totally clear: this is happening when I am simply trying to switch from one tab to another.

You do not need to move your cursor much when pressing the mouse button to cause the tab to tear-off/tear-away into a new tab. No "sensitivity" setting that I am aware of. The tab in the new window can be dragged back to the original window.
To disable the feature, install this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bug489729-disable-detach-and-t/

How can I stop mail from opening single page attachments.

I open some mail attachments in Notetaker app to make adjustments to some pages before sending on but when an attachment is only a single page it opens in the email message itself and then I can't open it. How can I stop this happening?
Hopefully thanks in advance

Hi Dave! This may help if you should want to save your emails to your computer which AM can do.
--Open Mail
--From Application Toolbar choose MAIL
--Choose ACCOUNTS from Mail tool bar
--Choose "Account Information"
--In the bottom right hand box -- Choose the "drop down box" (blue arrows) and Choose the mail box you want to send mail from
--Check "Use only this server". (Safari has a drop down on their tool bar that allows you to choose which box you want to send from.)
Go to Safari or a Web Page and send an email message. See if this works.
Of course, I'm assuming you have filled in the Account information for all your mailboxes. If not, that's a whole different procedure but well worth the effort, all your mailboxes are at your fingertips and you can save all your mail to your computer, back it up and never loose a word. :-)
Another caveat: I am using OS X 10.6.8 and the later versions of OS X may have dropped or modified Mail. Perhaps someone using one of the newer versions can add their knowledge here.
AM has many useful perks, it just takes time to find them but they really are worth the effort.

How can I stop iOS from opening a recently received message when I click on the messages app to compose an unrelated message to a different contact? I want to read it later, when I have time to reply, and I don't want to forget to go back to it.

iPhone messages automatically open when I don't want them to
One of my first ever flip phones had a wonderful function where you could choose a checkbox next to received messages to make them appear read or unread. This was very convenient for messages which you read, but don't have time to reply to immediately, and want to remember to come back to later.
In contrast, the latest, greatest iPhone not only does not have this rudimentary message management function, but it goes one step further in the wrong direction. If there is just one received, unread message, and you click on the messages icon, the new message will automatically be opened. It is opened irrespective of whether you have time to read it right away, irrespective of if you simply wanted to compose a new message or go back to another already read message. It just opens the new one, and then you are in a position where you have to read it and respond to it right there, or risk forgetting about it and failing to reply to it altogether. I sometimes receive a lot of messages over a period of a few hours, so it is very easy to lose track of these half-read messages in the mayhem. I have missed countless messages because of this problem. Incidentally, if there is more than one received message, then the application doesn't automatically open any of them, which is much better, because you can at least choose when you want to open one of the unread messages. But ideally, you should be able to go through your list of received messages and check or uncheck them as read or unread at any time, so that you can easily find messages that still need to be replied to, or reconsidered.
Does anybody have a solution to this problem? It strikes me as a simple data management solution that should be, but is not an option in the basic functionality of the app. Frustrating!

Is this an IMAP account?
If so, delete the messages in Mail from all folders and quit Mail.
Go the the website and clear the messages from all folders there.
Reopen Mail and verify the messages have been deleted for all folders.

How can I stop Reader from opening dozens of attachments?

Starting this morning, when I went to open a .pdf on my Macbook Pro, Reader opened dozens of attachments from many other emails in my inbox, going back weeks. I've re-booted and tried again, but same as before. If I use "Preview" on the Mac, it doesn't do that. What have I done wrong? Thanks in advance for any good suggestions!

You can have infinite tabs opening if you have selected Firefox as the application to handle a file if you get an ''Open with'' download window.<br />
Firefox should not be selected as the application to handle a file and you have to remove the action that is associated with that file type.<br />
You can delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/mimeTypes.rdf mimeTypes.rdf] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] to reset all actions or set the offending action in Tools > Options > Applications to 'Always Ask'<br />

How can I stop iPhoto from opening everytime...

OMG this is maddening.
I am a photograher.
I shoot tethered to a MBP in lightroom through a Canon 5D Mark III; I recently upgraded to YOSEMITE.
Every lovingtime I plug the camera in to the MBP, IPHOTO starts, reads the contents of my 16GB card which of course takes time, during a photoshoot, and then want to import 500+ images- I of course cancel or close the window down. But in the event I have to reconnect the camera or restart something- I get the annoying IPHOTO program doing the same ^&$&^% again.....it does it on my MAC MINI in my office when I bring the images home for editing...
The fact that the iphoto window is buried under another window and I can't &^%&^*$ figure out what is holding up my work flow while still looking composed in front of clients is MADDENING.
THIS IS CRAZY,,, How can I stop it

There are two places you can set iPhoto to not open when a camera is connected:
1 - iPhoto's General preference pane:
2 - (if iPhoto continues to open after #1) - with the camera connected to your Mac launch Image Capture and in the lower left hand corner of the widow set No Application in the dropdown menu provided:
