How can I stop .jpg files from automatically being moved off my desktop to my user's Pictures folder?

When I put a picture file on my desktop (like a screenshot I want to email away), it is automatically whisked off into my user's Pictures folder.
How do I stop that annoying, unsolicited behaviour?
thx,

The only 3d party apps are Hazel...
And that's your problem!
From the Hazel site's description:
Hazel watches whatever folders you tell it to, automatically organizing your files according to the rules you create.
Hazel, is a prefPane so you must have some rule (or it supplied the rule as a default) to put pictures (jpg's) from your Desktop (folder) into your Pictures folder.
Open your System Preferences and Hazel in there and either turn off Hazel or change or delete the appropriate rule covering this situation.

  • How can I stop my screen from going on and off when I play games ?

    HOw can I stop my screen from going on and off all the time when I touch it.

    Maybe it is a hardware problem, but you will not know that unless you start eliminating all possible software issues. Try this. Close all apps in the recents tray and reboot your iPad.
    Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    In Lion, running on an I MAC, (late 2006), how can I stop certain programs (iTunes, Word) from automatically starting up when I start the computer?

    Any application that is open when you shut down will re-open when you restart unless you deselect this when shutting down/restarting:
    Also check System Preferences>Users & Groups>Login items tab and make sure there's nothing listed there that you don't want launched.

    When I access Yahoo Mail through Firefox, as soon as Yahoo mail opens, my userid and password have already been entered. I do not want this to happen since other people use this computer. How can I stop this? this does not happen when I access through Internet Explorer.

    It looks like your password is stored in the password manager. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/make-firefox-remember-usernames-and-passwords?s=remembering+passwords&as=s#w_viewing-and-deleting-passwords Viewing and Deleting passwords].

  • In OS 10.7.5, after quitting on shutdown, how can I stop Firefox 23 from automatically opening on restart?

    Before I shut down my computer, I quit all my open applications. This makes startup cleaner. But now, upon startup, Firefox 23 automatically opens...not Safari, not Mail, just new Firefox 23. This would seem to be the new default. Can I stop this behavior?

  • How can I stop shared files in iBooks being highlighted by different family members?

    I Have family sharing set up which is great for sharing apps and music however I have a problem with iBooks. My wife and I both use ePub files which a re study material. The great thing about these is that we can highlight and add notes to files.
    THe problem is that our individual highlights and notes are shared with each other. So I get my wife's highlights and notes on top of mine.
    We ha ve tried clearing all ePub files from my wife's ipad, and only syncing them to mine. She then downloads her own copy of the ePub file. So one has the original which is on our iMac and one has another copy. This makes no difference as iTunes recognises them as the same file.
    We'd be happy to switch off family sharing for iBooks to prevent this but that doesn't seem possible. It's all or nothing. I can't turn off family sharing completely as my wife will lose access to our shared music library.
    Does oes anyone have any suggestions? Basically, we want to share music and apps through family sharing but have a separate collection of books even though those books might be ide bridal before we annotate them.

    Have you tried going into the Preferences on iBooks on your Mac and unchecking the option for syncing across devices?

  • SMF - How can you stop a service from automatically restarting

    Hi all,
    The subject header says it all. Is there a way of doing this. My users do not want an application we have to restart automatically if the process dies.
    Cheers

    Then what do you want? The default is 3 restarts before it goes into maintenance. You could change that to 0 probably.
    Otherwise if you're going to manage it manually, perhaps you don't want it to be an SMF service in the first place. Just run a startup script instead.

  • How can I STOP the TABS from Automaticly Expanding to the right?

    I don't like several new features.
    1) It is extremely difficult to tell which TAB belongs to the page I'm viewing. This causes me to constantly close the Wrong Page.
    2) When I do close a Tab, the remaining Tabs expand to fill the "Tab Bar" leaving No Blank Space.

    Hi,
    You can try a different theme for Firefox that provides a greater contrast between the active and inactive tabs: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/themes/
    Please note that some of the themes have a thinner tab bar and may diminish the height of the tab bar.
    or
    You can try the add-on [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/colorfultabs/ ColorfulTabs] without changing the theme. It has an option to [https://www.binaryturf.com/free-software/colorfultabs-for-firefox/colorfultabs-documentation-and-help/#3 fade the inactive tabs]. Please note that ColorfulTabs may have issues when used with other Firefox themes.
    You can prevent filling the tab bar to an extent by using the '''Pin as App Tab''' feature. Right-click on a tab and choose '''Pin as App Tab'''. To unpin, right-click on the pinned tab and choose '''Unpin Tab'''.
