Help - I cannot set the Default Java for Browsers

Hello:
I'm running Win 7, the Home Premium, 64 bit flavor. I have IE 8 and FF 3.5.8 installed. FF is the default browser. I've installed Java and when I go to the test page: http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml
I get a message which says: "Something is wrong. Java is not working."
HOWEVER, if I open a command prompt and type java -version, I get this:
C:\Users\dogzilla>java -version
java version "1.6.0_17"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_17-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 14.3-b01, mixed mode)
So I went to the control panel app, the advanced tab, and expanded the node for Default Java for Browsers. I have 2 problems.
1. The checkbox for Microsoft Internet Explorer is greyed out; I cannot change any settings here at all.
2. I checked the checkbox for Mozilla Family. Then, when I click OK, I get an error message which states:
"Unable to change browser settings. Please check that Mozilla or Firefox or Netscape is properly installed on the system and/or that you have sufficient permissions to change system settings."
Since I'm writing this message to the forum using FF, I'm going to guess that I have the browser installed correctly. So that leaves me with a permissions problem -- which I don't doubt. I have no idea where to start looking though. Especially considering I can run the files in the bin directory from a command line without any problems.
Does anyone know how I can solve the two problems I described in this thread? Suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply!
I tried running as admin and no luck. Still experiencing the same problems.
I've did some more reading (much more in fact for what this problem should be worth) and other forums mention that on 64 bit Windows systems, both the 32 bit and 64 bit JRE need to be installed.
When I was running Win XP, I could just download the SDK, create an environment variable, and I was good to go. Now, it looks like if I just install the SDK, I need the JRE plugin download for just the browsers -- what a ridiculous waste/duplication!
Thanks again for your help.

Websites that use java are not working. In the Java control panel, under advanced, default java for browsers "mozilla family" won't stay clicked

I've recently gotten a new Windows 8 computer. Ever since, I've tried accessing certain websites (like www.cnet.com) and can't get the java scripts to load like for the drop down menus. When I hover over them they don't do anything. Other computers I have that run Windows 7 are working just fine.
I've upgraded Firefox and Java to all of the newest versions but it's still not working. When I go to the Java control panel, under "Advanced" and under "Default Java for browsers", the check box next to "Mozilla family" won't stay checked. I'll check it, click "Apply" and "Ok" and then when I open it back up it's unchecked again.

Hi,
The problem exists in my project still exist.That is it.
When I did not set weblogic.jsp.encoding to GB2312 in my web
application(web.xml), and when the jsp file contain's chinese , the
output
will be error(error chinese) .And when I did not set it , the output
is
correct, but when I use request.getParameter("SomeFormElement")(theelement
inputed chinese), the return value is error(still chinese error).And
when
I
am in windows nt english version and do not set this property, all
these
two
problems dispear. And I try to compare the java files those were
generated
by weblogic from the jsp file , there is only two additional clause
in
the
java file. That's it:
((weblogic.servlet.jsp.JspWriterImpl)out).setEncoding("GB2312");
response.setHeader("Content-Type", "text/html; charset=GB2312");
(the web.xml has <context-param>
<param-name>weblogic.jsp.encoding</param-name>
<param-value>GB2312</param-value>
</context-param> to be set
So, I think maybe it works well if I change the default locale toenglish.
And unfortunately, your method is also failed.(I have to use weblogic
in
chinese environment)
Would you please help me to solve this problem?

Xcelsius Scenario Button cannot set the Default Scenario

Hi,
I am facing a problem with the Scenario Button in Xcelsius the problem is i cannot set the Default Scenario in the Dashboard .
I can save load delete the the scenario but if i have 3 scenario and i want to make one of them as default is does not work.
I think there is some browser setting for this and i have already configured the storage setting for the browser .
Warm Regards,
Mishra Vibhav

Hi Thijs
Thanks for your update, I think this really helps me. And I have one more question.
I have seen a SAP notes regarding the Scenario function, the content is as below.
You use the Local Scenario button to save the final result of a specific simulation (created scenario) and return to it in the future. It only saves the scenario on the local machine where it was created. So you can access the scenario from the same machine, but you cannot transfer scenarios from one computer to another.
As per the note we can't transfer scenarios from one computer to another, my question is: If we publish the dashboard to inforview and save the scenario, the scenario will be saved in the BOE repositary or still on the local PC, and could the scenario be able to share among different users?
Thanks a lot

SRM 4.0- How to set the default values for product type (01) only for SC

The radio button Service should not be visible.
Also for search help (e.g. search for internal products) where a search should only be possible for product type 01 (goods). The system should not display the product type and internally always search for goods only.
How to set the default values for product type (01) only for SC
We needs to use Search help BBPH_PRODUCT which having parameter PRODUCT_TYPE
Here we can set defalut value 01 but it is not correct one since same search help is using several places.
We need to limit the search help results only for SC.
Kindly help out me ASAP.

The easiest way to set defautl values is to edit the batch class.
Goto the characteiristic and go to update values.
In here you probably have something like 0 - 100 as a spec range.
On the next line enter the default value within this range. At the end of the line, click in the box in the column labelled "D". This indicates the defautl value for the characteristic.
If you need to you can do this in the material classification view as well.
Just to be clear, these values will only show up in the batch record. You can not have defautl values in resutls recording screens.

"I would like to know how to set the default view for the columns. Somewhere I read it could be done in by music icon under Library. Can't find it. Thanks

"I would like to know how to set the default view for the columns that are shown in iTunes. Every time I open it, I have to either go to the options, or right-click to get the pop-up options, and delete "rating" and add "composer." I'd really like to just do it once and be done with it." Somewhere I read you could do this by clicking on the Music icon under LIBRARY then arramge the columns. Trouble is, I can't find a Musi Folder or icon in my user library.
Any help would be appreiated. OSX 10.9.2 iTunes version 11.1.5 Thanks!!! CW!

From the iTunes menu bar try View>Show View Options. Make sure what you want to see is checked and what you don't is unchecked. You can do this (may need to do this) for any playlists, your main Library, etc.
Good luck

How do I set the default folder for file - open file... ?

When I save a file, photo, etc., the default folder for OPENING a file becomes the last folder I SAVED to - even after closing and reopening Firefox. Is there a way to maintain the same default folder for opening files?
Thanks.

I ask a question here as a last resort -- after I've done what I think
is an appropriate search for answers.
But thanks for your help in any case.

After Upgrading Acrobat Reader XI to Acrobat XI Pro the previewer in Outlook and Windows Explorer doesn't work. I have to set the default program for .pdf's to Acrobat Reader inorder for the previewer to work.

After Upgrading Acrobat Reader XI to Acrobat XI Pro the previewer in Outlook and Windows Explorer doesn't work. I have to set the default program for .pdf's to Acrobat Reader in order for the previewer to work.
Can anyone recommend a solution?

If I set the default program for viewing PDF as Acrobat XI Pro the a PDF file will open with Acrobat XI Pro, but in Outlook I will get a white screen and the information bubble "This file cannot be previewed because there is no previewer installed for it" and in Windows Explorer I get a white screen in the preview pane.
My Acrobat version is 11.0.10

How to set the default language for JRE?

I appreciate the fact that JRE is intelligent enough to select language according to my system default codepage, which is 936 (Simplified Chinese). However, i don't find any option in java control panel or java.exe command line switch to change the codepage for Java back to 437 (which is the default codepage for US english). Is there any way to make the change?

Thanks, finally i have a way to eliminate Chinese characters in console output. But I'd like to go one step further. Is there any way to permanently set the default encoding for JRE? I don't like the idea of having to add -Dfile.encoding every time i run a java program.

How do you set the default magnification for Acrobat. All documents that I open enlarge to 174% and are too big.

How do you set the default magnification for Acrobat. All documents that I open enlarge to 174% and are too big. I see how to change the size after the document is open by going to File/properties/initial view and saving this setting. I want all documents to open at 100% when they are first opened. Can I set this as a default view?

Hey Kris,
You might go to Edit> Preferences> Zoom
Do this without opening any particular PDF so that it applies to the program itself and not just one document.
Try this and then let me know.

How to set the default values for print options

Hi all,
We can set the default value for print options, just like Logical destination、numbers of messages、print immediately and so on, so where we should to maintain these default?

Hi Sandy,
This can be done by an abaper by making changes in the driver program. The Driver program feeds all the data which u have mentioned for printing.
if the driver program is standard. copy to an z type and make modification on printer settings on the driver program code.
this will surely solve the issue.

Is there a way to set the default view for the App Store to only show Apps for iPads when the Store is launched?

I'm a new iPad owner and would like to set the default view for myself to show only Apps for the iPad when I launch the the App Store app. Showing apps for iPhone seems a waste of real estate for me and time spent searching for a particular app since I do not own an iPhone.
Thanks for any assist. :-)

Setting the default resolution for sap logon

Hi, ALL!
I'm terribly tired of SAP interface. It's so uncomfortable for work.
For example maybe you know khow to set the default resolution for sap logon to make it use its widgets of proper size. e.g. when i work with transfer rules, it has only half of screen for useful area (i use 1400x1050), and right part is just empty, but on the left very many small fields and you should constantly use scrollbars (i think you know it well). Maybe there is system customizing for this purpose.

Hello Dmitry,
There is no customizing for this - atleast to my knowledge.
However, you should have to redo the settings again and again unless you are continuously re-sizing the main window.
Cheers
Aneesh
