How can I disable the Auto Recent Contact Group in email

The email app automatically selects a recent group of contacts instead of the primary contact.  This is extremely frustrating and very strange, IMO.  Why would the default be to list the group instead of the primary contact you are searching for first?
Example:
Compose New Email
Start typing a contacts name int eh To: field
the list Autopopulates with recently emailed groups before the main contact. 
Is there a way to disable this "feature".  I know I can "Remove from Recents" but this is actually very tedious.
Thanks!

If you only want to select from saved contacts, then tap the Plus ( + ) sign on the right of the address bar to bring up your actual contacts list instead of using this method.
You can still type a few letters into the search box at the top of the contact list to find your contact quickly.

    Hello,

    I cannot resize nor displace components due to this automation.

    first what do u mean by auto resizing ? if u mean the layout that automatically aligns itself then ..... if that's yr question then u need to set the layout to null
    if using netbeans then right click on the the mainPanel and setlayout to null if eclipse the frame.getContent.setlayout(null);

  • How can I disable the auto start up of iphoto on my computer when I plug in my iphone?

    Whenever i plug in my iphone 4s, my computer automatically opens iphoto. How do I disable it?

    yeah that's what I used to do before I updated to snow leopard. Now it does not have the same menu options which is why I am asking.
    It is not in image capture either.
    Read the other forums on this topic, I don't seem to have those choices anymore.( general> connecting a camera) does not appear in window.
    I cannot figure out where this is.

  • How can I delete the Auto-Fill Cache For My Email in Snow Leopard?

    When I start to type an email in Snow Leopards Mail program I am getting the Auto-Fill selection but it contains email addresses that are no longer valid and have been deleted from my contacts.  It must be getting the information from a cache file is what I am guessing.
    How do I fix this?

    Look in Mail > Windows > Previous Recipients.

  • How can I DISABLE the pop up 'Would you like to copy it to Library', preventing this message from bothering for each and every book, again and again, time after time? (Windows 7 64bit US).

    How can I DISABLE the pop up 'Would you like to copy it to Library', preventing this message from bothering for each and every book, again and again , time after time? (Windows 7 64bit US).
    I guess this may be a feature request. Adobe may think this is a good message for every new eBook.
    I sure would like to decide about that myself.
    Thanks in advance if this will be changed.

    Now to the problem, during setup I was forced to enable the phone lock and had to pick a 7 digit alphanumeric code. Fair enough I thought and went ahead. When I removed the mailbox however the lock remained in place with the default auto time of 30 minutes. When I checked in Phone management there is no option to disable this lock so I thought I could at least change the default time to something bigger but when you try, it remains at 30 mins. You also can't disable the auto time as it pops up an error message saying can't unlock phone.
    Does anyone know if I'm missing something obvious here or is this something which can't be disabled once it's switched on? I've done a soft reset back to factory settings with no luck and the only other thing I can think of is re installing the firmware which seems a bit extreme.
    Would like to hope there is some way to have control over this. Can someone help?
    Which firmware your N8 having now? You can check firmware by choosing Call, then type *#0000#.
    My N8 works fine on security setting and able to define Phone auto lock period, by choosing Menu>Settings>Phone>Phone management>Security settings>Phone and SIM card>Phone auto lock period>User defined>Lock after(minutes)
    You will prompt to enter Lock code each time u define auto lock priod or enable/disable auto lock.
    Hope this can help you.

  • How can we disable the 'Improvement Program' from all the apps in TCS5?

    How can we disable the 'Improvement Program' from all the apps in TCS5, so that the end users are not able to see the option in the help menu?
    We have tried changing the value of bUsageMeasurement (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\(product name)\(version)\FeatureLockdown) to zero, but it did not help.

    You’re probably going to have to contact Support on that one.

  • How can I change the fonts in "contacts" when printing mail labels

    How can I change the fonts in "contacts" when printing mail labels ? I used to be able to do this but in Mavericks this ability seems to have gone away. Am I missing something ?

    Actually in my case it doesn't work. I used to be able to pull up the font window with it but the button merely flickers when I click it. The image selection button and font color both are functional. WEIRD. I don't think this is a Mavericks issue as I recall having it come up with one of my user profiles before installing. Now I can't make it happen with either of my user profiles.
    I don't seem to have printing issues in other applications. And I recently reset the fonts in a futile attempt to correct this.
    I may post a new topic in Mail Contacts and Calendar if there is no response here after a bit.

  • How can I disable the HP Updates Agent from running?

    HP pavilion D4100Y
    Windows XP  SP2 or 3 (not sure)
    No error message
    No recent changes
    Problem: The program "Updates from HP Agent" runs frequently and on no particular schedule, certainly not one I chose.  It takes over my computer for hours and uses most of the CPU, fluctuating from 13% to 87% to 1 etc.3% to 6%, etc. The computer hangs and I cannot use it for anything else. On the HP Updates screen, I set the updates to "NEVER" but that didn't work.  The programs still run. On the Windows Task Manager window the program is called "Updates from HP Agent".
    I cannot find anything about this problem in the support database.

  • How can i disable the message "leave page / stay on page"

    How can i disable the message "leave page / stay on page" please explain step by step if if it involved inserting java script.
    Thanks

    These three userscripts are along the same lines as the one link to above:
    * [http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/180752 AllowPageClose] - recently posted, appears to run a timer to watch for changes and make sure it's really dead
    * [http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/121551 Disable - remove onbeforeunload]
    * [http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/98260 Kill Sure Want To Nav Away]
    None of the four scripts has any mechanism for site exceptions built into it, but you can make exceptions using Greasemonkey's user settings tab. You do that using the script's Options dialog. You can do that from the Add-ons page, User Scripts category. Either:
    * Monkey toolbar button > Manage User Scripts
    * Ctrl+Shift+a (Mac: Command+Alt+a) > User Scripts
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > User Scripts
    Then click the Options button for the relevant script. On the User Settings tab, in the Excluded Pages box, you can enter the site that you want to carve out of the script. Note that in order to match all pages on the site, you need to use the wildcard character (*) as shown in the attached screen shot.

  • I've an apple ID used to buy off iTunes and a mobileme account for the calendars and contacts. How can I move the calendars and contacts to the older apple ID and use it for iCloud?

    I've an apple ID used to buy off iTunes and a mobileme account for the calendars and contacts. How can I move the calendars and contacts to the older apple ID and use it for iCloud?

    If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
    1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
    2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
    3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
    Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
    [To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
    Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
    I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you!
