How do I change the target location on my desktop icons from IE to Firefox?

I have Windows XP

Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.
*Java Plug-in 1.4.2 for Netscape Navigator (DLL Helper)
Update the [[Java]] plugin to the latest version.

If you drag a link or favicon on the left end of the location bar onto the desktop to create an internet shortcut then that shortcut gets the icon of the default browser.
If you want a different icon (favicon) then you have to assign that icon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties).
You can usually get the favicon if you append "favicon.ico" to the main domain of a website (e.g. http://www.mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder or see if you can find it in "Tools > Page Info > Media".

  • TS1314 How do you change the default location address (in My Pictures) of the IPOD Photo Cache ?

    How do you change the default location address (in my pictures) of the IPOD Photo Cache ?

    You do no specifically. It sounds like you are syncing a folder to the iPod. In that case:
    From a Folder on Mac OS X, Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7
    The iPod Photo Cache will be located in the folder you selected to sync with. 
    Thus, you have to change the location of the folder you sync with.

  • How do I change the default location for iPhoto media?

    On my MacBook Pro, I have a 250 GB solid state drive. More than 140 GB of that space is taken up by images and video in my iPhoto folder. I want to purchase an external hard drive to store my iPhoto media so I can free up space on my Mac's hard drive. I can drag and copy the images/video to the new external hard drive, but in the future how can I change the default location to the new external device? I looked at iPhoto preferences, but see no setting that would re-direct media from my camera. Please help.

    Copy the library to the external hard drive.  Then launch iPhoto with the option key held down and choose the library on the external hard drive.
    Run the external library to make sure it has all of your photos and works as expected.  It will not be your default library. 
    Once you're sure the external library is good you can delete the library on the SSD.

    Rolfjuelg I am sorry but Lightroom does not support custom installation locations through the Creative Cloud.  You can find more details at Lightroom and Creative Cloud FAQ.

  • How can I change the default location of files?

    I have just changed the location of "My documents" in Windows to point to a separate drive (in fact "e:\mydocs"). Now Flex Builder 3 can't see my projects. If I import them it wants to copy them back to "c:\documents and settings\administrator\Flex Builder 3". So I have 2 questions - firstly is it possible to alter something so that it sees my projects in the right place automatically. Secondly how can I change the default location?
    Thanks

    sorry folks, just found the answer - File-Switch Workspace

  • How do I change the image title when it is uploaded from iphoto to iweb. At the moment the image title is /shapeimage_1.png and I would like to put in something more relevant than just shapeimage?

    How do I change the image title when it is uploaded from iphoto to iweb. At the moment the image title is /shapeimage_2.png and I would like to put in something more relevant than just shapeimage_2?

    When you drag images from iPhoto to iWeb, iWeb retains the original filename.
    When you use a mask, iWeb creates a png file with the shapeimage name.
    So do not use a mask and crop your images before dropping them on the iWeb canvas.
    When you use an irregularly shaped mask, then png files are created. They have to be png because of the transparency of the shape.
    You can use a 3rd party application to create the png images yourself, and give them a proper name.
    Or use the published png files, rename them and drop them back onto the iWeb canvas, while first removing the previous images.

  • How do I change the format of my 5th Generation iPod from Windows to Mac

    How do I change the format of my 5th Gen iPod from a Windows format to the Mac?

    But this will delete all the songs I have? I have a lot of them on my iPod classic
    Yes.
    I want to transfer (well copy) all my songs from the iPod to itunes on the mac - and then have the itunes library as being placed on the external drive. The last part I think I know, but I can't work out how to copy music from my iPod
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
    Then see here about backing your iTunes library onto an external hard drive.

    You can't. The Mac OS has never allowed changing the system font.

  • How can I change the default location ipad/iphone pictures are stored in on my desktop?

    So here's my dilemma.  I have lightroom mobile on my ipad and iphone.  Seamlessly, lightroom mobile pushes these images to my desktop and saves them in a folder in windows.  I use an SSD and would prefer not doing read/writes to it that are unnecessary.  What makes the default location problematic is that I can't seem to change it.  Further, when I sync my ipad/iphone to my windows desktop using a cable, I will now have duplicates of images that were synced via lightroom mobile.  So, it would be infinitely simpler, I think, if lightroom mobile would sync ipad/iphone images to a directory I specify, on a supplemental hard drive for instance, and using dates for folder names rather than some default directory on my main drive where they are just dumped.

    Currently, Lightroom saves the images in a directory structure under a folder named "Mobile Downloads.lrdata", which is created in the same folder as the catalog file.
    For example, an image will be saved as:
    Windows = C:\Users\<username>\Pictures\Lightroom\Mobile Downloads.lrdata\<random hexadecimal name>\picture1.jpg
    Mac = Users/<username>/Pictures/Lightroom/Mobile Downloads.lrdata/<random hexadecimal name>/picture1.jpg
    you want to change the location of this "Mobile Downloads.lrdata" to another path.
    You should file an Idea, AKA Feature Request, to the Feedback site:
    http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family
    If there is enough people voting for it, the Product Managers will evaluate it and eventually apply it to a future version.
    It's your interest to advertise the Idea in order to increase the number of votes (I would vote for it).
    There is another similar discussion in the forum (How do i change the location of 'Mobile Downloads.lrdata' ?), I am posting the same answer there.

  • How do I change the folder location

    All my ipod touch music and videos are on my computers hard drive. They are taking up too much room and I want to move them to an external hard drive. How the heck do I do this?
    Thanks.

    There is an outline on how to do this under ITUNES --> help check :
    "Changing where your iTunes files are stored"
    I would first backup all music and video files before doing this process.
    Changing where your iTunes files are stored
    -------------------------from above help file from itunes --------------------------------------
    By default, songs and other files you import into iTunes are placed here:
    My Documents/My Music/iTunes/iTunes Music
    To change the default location of imported files:
    Choose Edit > Preferences and click Advanced.
    Click Change and select a new location for your files.
    From now on, new songs and other items you import will be stored in the new location. Songs you've already imported stay in their current location.
    To restore the iTunes Music folder as the default storage location, click Reset (in the Advanced pane of iTunes preferences).
    To move already-imported files to a new location (for example, a different folder on your hard disk, or a different computer), follow the instructions above and then quit iTunes. Select everything in the iTunes Music folder and drag the files to the new location (don't drag the entire iTunes Music folder, only its contents). For information about finding out where individual audio files are stored, search help for "finding files."

  • I'd like to back up iPhone4 to external HD before upgrade (Local drive to full).  How do I change the backup location?

    Upgrading to iOS5.  I'd like to back up my iPhone4 to an external HD before upgrading, but the utility uses the local HD as default.  Not enough room locally for my back-up.  How can I change the destination drive for back-up?

    iPhone Backup Location for Windows 7, XP, and Vista
    Windows XP stores all of your iPhone backup files in this location:
    C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    Windows Vista and Windows 7 backs up the iPhone files to here:
    C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    Obviously if your main drive is not C: then you’ll have to change that, same goes for ‘user’

  • How do you change the directory location from the hieachy window.

    Our DAQ system consists of 285 vi's. During development changes, some vi's were created and passed to the DAQ via a LAN connection. Pulling up the vi's at the DAQ has changed the desired path such that some come from the LAN virtual drive, while others are resident on the DAQ PC. All have been copied to the PC's hard drive. Viewing the LabView hiearchy, how do I change the directory for a few individual vi's to point at only the PC harddrive? I saw this done once, but forgot how and cannot easy find it in the help files.

    When this happens to me I temporarily disconnect the network drive or rename the network folder to force LabVIEW to do a search. If they're all in the same folder as the main VI, they'll be found automatically.

  • Three Numbers questions:how do you change the auto default background or fill color from white to another color to use in multiple succeeding operations?  what is the formula to express the ratio of two numbers as a percent?

    Numbers questioons:
    -how do I change the automatic default background fill color so it stays a non white color?
    -what is the formula to express the ratio of two numbers as a percentage?
    -how do I create a signal formula to be sue against an entire column of data (for example, if I wanted to multiply the each cell in the column by the number 10)?
    -I have created a spreadsheet in Numbers with header and rows labelled and it contains formulas as well.  I now want to create a new 'blank' of this template with same header and row names and formulas, but without the cell entries from my earlier exerciser so I can use again in the future. How do I do this?

    Hi Matt,
    For short columns, the easiest method is to select the cell containing the formula, then grab the fill handle (small circle at the botom right of the selected cell) and drag down.
    For long columns, use either Jerry's suggestion (copy/paste) or Insert > Fill > Fill Down.
    Copy/Paste:
    Select the cell containing the formula. Copy
    Select from the cell containing teh formula to the end of the column. Paste.
    Fill Down:
    After entering the formula, and pressing enter...
    Click on the column reference tab to select the whole column.
    Command click on each cell above the one containing the formula to remove it from the selection.
    When cell with the formula is the top cell in the selection, go Insert > Fill > Fill Down.
    Pick whichever is easiest.
    Regards,
    Barry
