How do I change the default path assigned by Lion?

Hi Everyone!
Out-of-the-box, in Finder, the Favorites sidebar, the path for Pictures is: Macintosh HD>Users>vbbuilt>Pictures. 
   Note: vbbuilt is my user name
I just bought a new external hard drive and have moved all picture files to that external drive, including the iPhoto Library.
How can I change that path to: External Hard Drive>Pictures ?
In other words, when I click on  Pictures in the Finder Favorites sidebar, I want to be sent to that Pictures folder on the EHD.
Thanks! Vince.

This all goes back to my original problem in this forum thread.
1. I moved ALL files to an external hard drive.
2. I WANT to retain Lion's icon image representing the Pictures, Music, and Movie Folders
3. I WANT to rename Lion's default path for those original Pictures, Music, and Movie folders so that they point to their new locations on the hard drive.
4. The default  Pictures, Music, and Movie Folders cannot be replaced - I tried that.  The OS-X does not allow deleting the existing folder.  I can place a new folder in the Favorites in the Sidebar, but the graphical representation of that folder, in the sidebar, cannot be changed.  I tried that too and does not work.  I can replace the image with a new graphic from the Get Info pane.  But when I <option> drag n' drop that same folder into the Favorites on the Sidebar, that new substitute graphic does not show up.  The default Icon for a folder is shown.
Any thoughts on how to get around all these problems?
Thanks, Vince.

  • How can i change the default path of installation

    I had creative cloud for a while. Today i changed the default installing folder, from the creative cloud settings/prefferences(can't remember) menu, from C to D. Then i uninstalled all the programs from adobe cs6 to take the new cc programs. When i want to reinstall adobe creative cloud it is installing on D and since there is no operating sistem on D i can't install the creative cloud. It keeps installing on D. How can i change the default path of installation if i uninstalled creative cloud?

    Or how can I change the prefered installation folder that can be changed from creative cloud menu/prefferences when i have uninstalled creative cloud?

  • How do I change the default on shutting down Lion to NOT relaunch open windows?

    How do I change the default on shutting down Lion to NOT relaunch open windows? And how can I have Safari always open in full screen mode? I have to set it every time I open Safari.

    The feature you are talking about in System Preferences does work and is not related in any way to the one at startup.
    One restores the windows of an application you've quit, the other reopens all windows you had open at shutdown or restart.
    Why should "I" have to constantly turn off a checkbox when I shutdown the system?
    You don' t have to.  Did you have a look at my post just above yours?  With a double click you can have your restart without opening the last open windows.  That's less than clicking the apple icon and selecting "restart" or "shut down" and then clicking "Restart" or "Shutdown" again.

  • :-)  How can we change the default file path for Bank file ( dmee ) ?

    Hi All,
    We encounter a problem.
    Electronic bank file ( created after a F110 run ) are created, in an automatic way to the DIR_TEMP directory. ( On the SAP server )
    How can we change the default file path for Bank files ( dmee ) ?
    We'd like to specify another path.
    Thx for your help.
    Erwan

    Hello,
    Make sure that you have created the directory in transaction code AL11 with the help of basis consultants.
    You can link your PC directory to the application server.
    You can maintain the path whether your file needs to get saved in OBPM4 against your DMEE structure example GB_BACS etc.
    If you do not maintain any path in OBPM4, then the file gets saved to temporary directory. If you give the directory path name in OBPM4, then the file gets saved to that directory with numbers 0001, 0002, 0003 etc till it reaches 9999 and reset from the beginning.
    If you give the path as well as file name as ABCD, then the file gets generated to that directory folder with ABCD0001, ABCD0002, ABCD0003 etc. till it reaches ABCD9999 and reset from the beginning.
    Hope this solves your problem.
    Regards,
    Ravi

  • How do I change the default settings on ical

    how do I change the default settings on ical - I upgraded to Lion and now every event is automatically clicked as an "all day" and when I unclick the "all day" it gives me an 8 hour window for my event instead of the 1 hour that I prefer! Help!

    Select any particular document you wish to fix. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Open With section select the desired Default Application from the dropdown menu. Click on the Change All button to extend the change to all similar documents.
    You can only assign one default application to one type of document.

  • How do I change the default storage file for PDFs?

    I want to save PDFs. Now the default files are in AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Temporary Internet Files/Content IE5/V6ZGH08N. I have to drill UP through all those to get to where I want to save the item in PDF Files. How can I change the default?

    The file path (AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Temporary Internet Files/Content IE5/V6ZGH08N) that you posted is the internet cache of the MS Internet Explorer and not a location that Firefox uses although MS plugins like the Windows Media Player will use that location.
    Files that are opened in an external program will be saved to the temp folder as specified in the %temp% and %tmp% environment variables.
    What makes you think that Firefox is saving PDF file in that folder?
    Are you using an extension like IE Tab or IE View to open specific locations with IE?
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • How do I change the default infoset on an existing query?

    How do I change the default infoset on an existing query?
    Thanks
    Hannah

    Hi Hannah Holland ,
    If you had noticed the sequence in which we create Infoset queries, then your question will be automatically resolved.
    For an Infoset Query report,
    First we require a user group
    Second we create an Infoset , which basically defines or answers your  question "What DATA" you would want to display.
    Third , you assign the Infoset to the user group.
    Fourth, you create a query in that user group using the Infoset.
    So , you build Query ON the infoset and not the other way round.
    In other words, the query is created based on an infoset. So If you want to create a query on another Infoset, create an other ONE.
    Revert if you need additional help.
    Regards,
    Subin John

    For sideloaded content the nook pulls the metadata from ePub file itself.  I would suggest looking at a program like Sigil or Calibre that will let you edit the metadata in the book to make it appear like you want.
    For the PDF vs ePub - No, that's the way PDFs work (think of them as graphics, not text), wheres ePubs are Web Pages - so  no you can't them to behave exactly alike without converting the files.

  • How can I change the default  driver to OracleXADataSource in JDeveloper

    Hello,
    How can I change the default oracle driver: oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver to oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADataSource in JDeveloper Studio Edition Version 11.1.1.0.2, Build JDEVADF_MAIN.BOXER_GENERIC_090328.0229.5205.
    If I modify the file connections.xml from jdeveloper\system\system11.1.1.0.31.52.05\o.jdevimpl.rescat2\connections in the sense that I change the driver class, then in JDeveloper when I test my connection I have this problem: Test failed: oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADataSource cannot be cast to java.sql.Driver
    Why do I need this XA version of the oracle driver? Well I tried, from a book to reproduce the model of an application: entities, stateless and stateful session beans, mdb, web services and a client to test one part of the model.
    And because of the JMS server I need an XA driver.
    I deployed to the integrated wls 10.3 and when I test my client, if I use the default driver for the connection the an error message appears tell me either to emulate two-phase commit or to use XA driver.
    My application works very well, if I configured in the console of the integrated wls 10.3 a datasource with the same name as my ide/application connection that has for the Driver Class Name: oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADataSource in the Connection Pool tab.
    Thank you.

    Open DIsk Utility and in the toolbar select Disk Image. The file selector will open and you'll have to do three things: 1) just as with any file, name it and point the file selector to where you want it to be saved, 2) near the bottom you'll see name - type iWork 2013 and 3) below that select the image size. Click on size, choose custom and type 1500 MB then click on the Create button.
    Some time will pass and then you'll see an external disk pop up on your desktop and/or the Finder window sidebar. Drag the three programs into it and eject it like any other external disk. Now delete the programs from your applications window.
    Where ever it was you pointed the file selector to you'll see the file you created. Double click on it and the disk image will mount again.

  • When I opt to "download this as a file" from my email account, Firefox defaults to notepad to open the file. How can I change the default to MS Word?

    Question
    When I opt to "download this as a file" from my email account, Firefox defaults to notepad to open the file. How can I change the default to MS Word?

    Is FF downloading the file as a .txt file? If so, go to "Folder Options" in the windows control panel. Click on the "File Types" tab. Scroll down until you reach the TXT file extension. Look to see what that extension opens with (lower part of panel). It probably shows notepad. Click on the <Change> button. Scroll down until you find "Microsoft Word." Select it and click the <OK> button. That should show the TXT extension is now associated with Microsoft Word. Click the <Close> button at the bottom of the panel.
    If FF is downloading the file as any other type, use the same process as above except look for the corresponding extension instead. If the extension is not listed click on the <New> button and create an association using the extension in the file name and then associate it with MS Word.
