Getting rid of the Evil Microsoft rdc connections folder

Just bought a lovely new imac but unfortunately Microsoft has followed me in the form of microsoft office 2011 and has bought along with it, its old invasive filing habits. and has been busy messing up my documents folder. I found a solution to getting rid of the Microsoft user data folder by moving it to user/library/preferences but the RDC connections folder keeps returning when I launch the remote desktop connection app. Is there anyway of moving this folder out of my documents too ?
Thanks

The command "chflags hidden <foldername>" just hides the folder from graphical interfaces. The folder will still be visible in terminal. In terminal if you type "ls" you will see all folders including hidden ones.
So to unhide execute the following command in terminal.
"chflags nohidden <foldername>"
Specific commands for this use case are:
To hide:      "chflags hidden ~/Documents/RDC\ Connections/"
To un-hide:  "chflags nohidden ~/Documents/RDC\ Connections/"

    how do I get rid of the green hue when connecting to my TV?

    On the TV or iMac display and is Mirroring On or Off?
    First check all of your cables, connectors and connections.
    If it's a really strong green hue, then there is probably something wrong with the cabling or a connection.
    If it is only slightly off hue, then go to: System Preferences > Displays > select the Color tab for whichever  and try selecting a different Display Profile or setting a new Profile by selecting the Calibrate.... button.

    (15th Nov,PS6 R6034 runtime error, in Photoshop General Discussion) but none were coming.
    It is extremely frustrating and disappointing that Adobe can not be more helpful and effective in solving this problem.

    I just got off of chat with adobe support. Very disappointed.
    Nobody can find the correction for this error. Shame on adobe!

    Hi adamsfly,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like you changed your email address and iCloud is looking to sign in with the old Apple ID email. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • How do i get rid of the annoying wifi connect screen whenever i am in a mall, it pops up even though i have cancelled it many times and revert to 3g

    how do i get rid of the annoying wifi connect screen, even after i have rejected and cancelled using it and revert to 3g?

    Actually just turn off "Ask to join networks". Settings ->  Wi-Fi -> Ask to Join Networks. This way your wi-fi will still work at home or anywhere that you want to use it but you won't get prompted to join unknown networks.

    EUREKA, I found the solution to my problem in a Discussion initiated by gingertodd on July 27, 2011 entitled "Safari in Lion hijacked by malware."  The solution was provided by Badunit who recommended force quitting Safari and then reopening it while holding down the Shift key.  It worked instantly, and I subsequently was able to open Safari normally by just clicking on its icon in the Dock.   THANK YOU BADUNIT!

  • I keep getting this message: Mail can't connect to the account: "Sbcglobal". Enter the password... So I do and it opens up, but later it will happen again. It's not earth-shattering, but I have to stop what I'm doing to get rid of the bouncing Mail icon.

    If your password is accepted, and Mail connects to the account, but you're prompted for the password repeatedly, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Note: these steps don't apply if the server rejects the password. That's a different problem.
    Step 1
    When prompted for the password, check the box marked Remember this password in my keychain.
    Step 2
    Check that the keychain is working.
    Step 3
    Check that the default keychain is unlocked.

  • How do I get rid of the annoying Improve Images tooltip?

    The improve images tooltip is sooo annoying!
    How do I get rid of it?

    Hi gdav, it depends. If you don't mind having the images compressed and just want to get rid of the messages, you can try to filter or block the script that generates the tooltips. If you want to get the original images, you need to figure out whether you can change the settings in your connection software.
    If you search on the following page for AdBlock, you will see a suggestion for one way to filter the script. Note that each ISP might have a different name and address for its script, so you probably need to take a peek at the source code (Ctrl+u) for a simple page, or a few different pages, to spot the one that's coming from your ISP's server.

  • How can I get rid of the accumulation of the backups in the Macintosh HD of my new MBA 13.3'' ?

    How can I get rid of the accumulation of the backups in the Macintosh HD of my new MBA 13.3'' ?

    My best advice is that you stop worrying about the backups that TimeMachine is making on your MBA. First, these local backups are only made when TimeMachine should perform a backup but your computer isn't connected to TimeMachine. Once you reconnect your computer to TimeMachine it makes a backup and the local backups are deleted. Second, TimeMachine stops making local backups when your free drive space dips below 80%. So the local backups aren't going to take over your computer.

  • Tried the Restore and Reset to get rid of the invalid passcode but it is still there!

    I've had my iPhone 4s from new and can't even remember ever doing a Passcode but after doing the last few updates I have struggled with issues with the phone-some of my contacts vanish.
    I used to be able to do In App Purchases. I can buy Apps direct from iTunes as well as music.
    But over the past 2 weeks I have not been able to buy In App Purchases anymore as it always asks me for the Passcode-I have done 17 attempts!
    So I have read and re-read several Apple and website info on how to fix this and nothing has worked!
    I have done the Reset and also the Restore via iTunes and I have switched the phone off and connected to iTunes and after spending several days on this I am now wanting to take a hammer to the phone!!
    It does not matter how many hours it takes for my phone to do either reset, restore, back up etc every time I do it the passcode still is there saying 17 attempts and I have to keep waiting an hour at a time to try and guess it again!
    Logically to me if I restore my phone via iTunes using the last back up (don't know how to use a Back up from say a year ago to see if that works) then the Passcode info will still be on that Back up so it will remember that it needs a passcode and leave it there-I have never been asked on anything to reset the passcode as in make a new one.
    Please help before i go over to the dark side and buy another phone!!!

    Where is the DLL file located?
    The "h264" in the name implies some kind of video-decoding functionality, in case that helps in identifying the software to which it belongs.
    Generally speaking, I suggest the following process for cleaning up unwanted software:
    Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. Click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
    Then, in Firefox, open the '''Add-ons page''' using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Plugins. Set nonessential and unrecognized plugins to "Never Activate".
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
    Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Finally, you can "mop up" remaining issues with the '''scanning/cleaning tools''' listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
    Are you able to get rid of the unwanted DLL?
