Finding Hidden Utilities that Modify the System

Some years ago, I got a utility that allowed me to modify some things in the UI. Among other features, it allowed me to change the size of the pointer and the text insertion icon. I would like to return these to default, but I don't remember the name of the utility so that I can find and remove it. Does anyone know the name of the utility or how I might find it and disable it or the instructions it placed in the system.

Ah, not Universal Access.  I see now you're running Mavericks. I was confused because you posted in the TIger OS forum.

  • Track down the culprit that resets the system tray customization in Windows 7

    The question is duplicated from http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-performance/track-down-the-culprit-that-resets-the-system-tray/7cff4c95-4d08-4a7f-b29d-ce67d8cd6247 as suggested by a support engineer.
    Hi Almighty All,
    For a while I'm experiencing problems with my system tray. Something regularly resets my customization, i.e. after reboot sometimes all icons that I marked as to show always are hidden again. I found out that the reason is that something erases HCU\Software\Classes\Local
    Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify.
    I decided to find out what is responsible. I turned on auidt policy for objects, then I setup audit for HCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify. The next time the icons customization was reset I found out
    that HCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify was cleared again and on top of that the audit settings were gone! So I thought maybe something just removed the whole key altogether with the audit settings on the
    way.
    My next attempt was to set audit on HCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software and just let Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify inherit it. The next time the icons customization was reset I found out that HCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify
    was cleared again and on top of that the audit settings were gone again! Something removed the whole HCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software?
    The Event Log points out to one of the svchost.exe processes, which is just a container for the whole bunch of different services.
    Any idea how to find out what service is responsible?

    Hi,
    Interesting issue, what about other configuration or settings? Do they work fine or keep reverting after a reboot? Have you tested this issue in another user account? What is the result?
    Regarding to unable to save settigs for current user hive, I doubt whether there's an application you installed recently or an malware\virus changes the permission of registry entry or value of registry keys like
    HKCU\Software\Classes which causes this issue.

    Hmm... I don't understand. Nothing is reverting after a reboot, as well I'm
    not unable to save settings in the current user's hive. The correspondent registry keys can be saved perfectly fine and they are
    deleted, not reverted after a reboot. I pointed to the exact code that does it, the code is located in Microsoft DLL with all certificates and digital signatures intact. Permissions obviously don't matter, since svchost.exe is executed with the highest
    integrity level and under the System user account, the keys in question inherit permissions, which allow System to do whatever it needs without restrictions
    by default, you can't change it to allow more.
    So can you explain how it can be some malware?
    The issue is intermittent, I don't have a 100% repro, therefore “testing” under another user account is doubtful.

  • HT203192 "networksetup is trying to modify the system network configurations" type your password to allow this.

    "networksetup is trying to modify the system network configurations" type your password to allow this.Type your password to allow this.  No amount of password typing seems to satisfy the request. The pop up box will not go away!!!!

    Hi Glenyse,
    Did you find the answer to your question?  I have the same problem.  Or can anyone else help?
    My wife’s 2012 Macbook Pro has Yosemite and is using Wi Fi for the internet connection. 
    Every time, both on startup and awaking from sleep, a window appears on the desktop with a locked icon saying, “Networksetup is trying to modify this system.  Type your password in to allow this”.
    The window (which can’t be moved or dragged) shows the computer’s user name. The password has to be repeatedly typed in as many as 10 times and the highlighted ‘modify configuration’ box clicked before the window disappears and the computer then functions normally.
    Needless to say, this is driving my wife up the wall…    I would certainly appreciate information on how to get rid of this troublesome window!

  • TS4003 if I am running a mac OS x that is lower than 10.7.2, is there any way to publich my iweb site to icloud (I have an iphone that meets the system requirements)?

    if I am running a mac OS x that is lower than 10.7.2, is there any way to publich my iweb site to icloud (I have an iphone that meets the system requirements)? I'm using iWeb 3.0.1 and previously had my website published to mobile me. 

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Unfortunately, iCloud does not offer equivalents to Mobile Me’s iDisk, Gallery or Web Hosting services. You will need to find a third party solution to replace these services. You might considerDropBox, SugarSync, MediaFire or any other service that offers online storage. (not all these alternatives offer all the services previously provided by iDisk)
    So it won't matter whether you have Snow Leopard or Lion, you will not be able to upload your website to iCloud.

  • Is it possible to modify the system colour palette?

    I'm trying to remove (or at least minimise the visual impact of) the grey border present when a subVI smaller in size than the main VI (or screen in general) is run. The subVI is run as modal with all dialog borders/buttons turned off. As far as I can see there are two options for this as LV will not natively allow this bordered to be turned off:
    1 - using Windows APIs create a mask to cover the border - time consuming and not overly robust as I may need to move panels around
    2 - change the colour from grey to a more suitable colour to match my theme - as far as I can tell the grey colour of the border is defined from within LV ( I've tried playing with the Windows colour scheme to no avail) and whilst a number of display colours can be modified, the fundamental LV system colours cannot.
    Any suggestions as to a solution will be greatly received.

    Yeah that won't really work for me as I need the modal-ness! The reason I believe the colour property to be defined by LV is that by modifying the Windows theme I'm able to have the border look as in the attached pic however as soon as I execute the VI again, the border reverts to the whitish-grey colour.

    Here we can find the Business Transaction  related information like Process That set the status, Process that deletes the status etc. ( business transaction like RMEP ,RMEZ ,RMUP )
    Above scenario i have depicted for  System Status DSPT. But
    Now my Question is very generic not for only I0117 System Status ( DSPT)
    But  from name of  business transaction how can we get idea that, this Business Transaction can be performed by which T Code,
    this Bu transaction is belogs to which module etc....
    How can I find help related to this business Trnasction from System / any report/ Programme from SE38 etc.....
    I am functional, Please explain me accordingly..
    Being Functional Consultant how can we get maximum help from this Business Transaction.

    Hi,
    Try transaction BERP.
    It will give  you the following info.
    1. See the business events available and the pupose they are meant fot
    2. Documentation for that particular event (here you can know where exactly it is called)
    3. Interface parmeters required in the custom FM
    4. A sample function module with the export import parameters.
    There are few more transaction which are usefull in Bte
    FIBF --> Maintenance transaction BTE
    BERE --> Business Event Repository
    BERP --> Business Processes
    BF31 --> Application modules per Event
    BF32 --> Partner Modules per Event
    BF34 --> Customer Modules per Event
    BF41 --> Application Modules per Process
    BF42 --> Partner Modules per Process
    BF44 --> Customer Modules per Process
    and Bte is attach to a process it works in similar way like workflow do, you can't exactly know the tcode by looking into the event but you can know it with the process for eg.
    This event is called while invoice printing.
    00705000     Invoice print: Exclude contracts
    and we can get more info by checking its description.
    Hope this will help,
    With best regards,

  • Best Lyrics cannot be permanently removed. It must have installed a hidden file that creates the add on each time the computer is booted.

    I inadvertently allowed the Best Lyrics add on to be installed for Firefox. It has annoying adds and sometimes links to malicious software. It can be disabled or removed from a session and become non functional after a Firefox restart but each time the computer is booted up it appears again. I assume there must be a file hidden somewhere that re-installs the add on each time the computer is started up. Does any one know how to remove this permanently?

    Thanks for the tip. It rurns out that the Bestlyrics was actually added as a program and I was able to get rid of it by uninstalling it from the control panel. (Should of thought of this before). I downloaded and ran Malwarebytes and it did find a couple of other PUP items for adware that I deleted. Thanks for the tip.

  • I find very annoying that, although the cursor is flashing in the serch box, unless that box has been clicked in to enable it, typing goes to the nearest topic in the bookmark list. how to stop it from happening?

    i use Google home page as my firefox home page. often i find that although the cursor is flashing in the serch box, unless that box has been clicked in to enable it, typing goes to the nearest topic in the bookmark list instead of accepting the typing. how to stop it from happening? why not stop the cursor from appearing in the search box unless you have clicked in it?

    Do you organise your email into separate folders, or do you just let it accumulate in the Inbox?
    I would strongly advise you not to let it sit in the Inbox.
    When you see this happening, try right-click on the affected folder, select '''Properties''' then '''Repair Folder'''.
    Large folders (actually, a folder in Thunderbird is stored as a file, so it is sensitive to file size limits set by the underlying file system) can be problematic. This is one reason not to let messages collect in one folder. I use Thunderbird's Archive folders so that accumulated mails over several years can happily coexist because they are effectively stored in many small folders. No single mail store folder then exceeds the 2GB or 4GB sizes that have been known to stress the OS. I appreciate that current builds of Thunderbird and a modern 64-bit OS should be able to cope, but practically I find it slows down when given huge files, so I err towards a pragmatic solution; a large number of not very big files.
    Archives are searchable, and a Saved Search folder can give you a virtual composite folder allowing access to the entire Archive.
