I have an old VPN icon there that I can't seem to get rid of...
Hold the Command key down as you drag it off the menubar.

How do I clean out the "Open With" dialog box when I right click an image?f
Hi,
When I right-click and image to open it in a program I get a long list of programs to choose from. Many are duplicated or the same program but different version #s like Preview. How do I clean out the dupes and ones I don't want and keep the ones I do?
How would I add CS3's Adobe Camera Raw to the list?Do a search for details on cleaning up the "open with" dialog, it's been discussed before but I'm sorry I can't remember what the fixes are.
I have duplicate choices too but have never tried to clean them up.
Regards,
Steve M. -

Thanks for your helpful reply. If most of my website visitors are using Safari browser (( iPhone, iPad devices )) what type of flash should we use in the headers?
www.i-phony.com
I hope to use my previous flash designs.
Best regards
Since Apple designed iOS (per Steve Jobs' insistence) to be specifically incompatible with Flash, I wouldn't worry about what Flash content to use in headers for devices that can never, and will never, be able to see it.
I stopped using Flash for anything in my websites about six months ago, converting what I had to HTML5 (MP4) and any new content that would have previously been done in Flash is going the be the same. -
How can i clean up the "other" taking up space on my ipod touch?
How can i clean it up?
This is also where apps store their information on your ipod, along with emails. If you have a lot of emails on your ipod or some have large attachments, cleaning this up can also reduce the file size.

I created a rectangle box but I cant seem to clean up the edges where the seperate rectangles meet. How do I go about this? Below is a picture.
Use a selection to mask where you want to erase the errant pixels. The vertical lines are nice and easy, because you can use the rectangular Marquee tool. Drag out a select close to the errant line, and nudge it closer with the arrow keys. The use the eraser to clean away the exess. The angled lines are more difficult, but use the Lasso tool, and hold down the Alt (Opt) key to rubber-band the line parallel to the box, then nudge it closer with the arrow keys again.
If you are feeling clever, there is nicer way. Assuming all the lines of your box are on a single layer, Ctrl click that layer to load it as a selection. With any selection tool selected, place the cursor over one of the lines so that the cursor changes to a tiny rectangle. You can now nudge that selection so it lays over the errant lines, and use the eraser tool to remove them. The selection will be perfect as regards its angles, becaise it is the same thing. -
How does one clean out the trash, after putting in a time line file in?
After cleaning out some old files, it was late one night that I put a old file from the Time Line into the trash. Now how can this be FIXED?
Time Line...? If you mean Time Machine, then you should only delete old backups and files using the Time Machine interface.
If you did a NO NO and moved old Time Machine backups to the Trash using Finder? Then go to > Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions 12 and scroll down to the section in gray for the solution. -

How can a clean out the Visual Studio References dialog entries?
My reference dialog box is a mess, it has entries which I don't need any more. Some of the entries have duplicate names but differ by version. This means I have to carefully look at each reference to make sure I add the correct one. If I could simply right-click
on the reference and click on delete the world would be a better place. Since this cannot be done, how else could I remove these bad entries?
I am using VS2013 Community, this problem has driven be crazy in all versions since 2005.
I don't know why this question needs to be asked since the situation should have been obvious at (Visual Studio) development time.
Sic itur ad astraThanks for jdweng’s help.
Hi Anaristos,
>> My reference dialog box is a mess. Some of the entries have duplicate names but differ by version.
To really help us understand this issue, could you share us a screen shot about the real “reference dialog” in your side?
>>What I would like to do is to have no resent entries when I click to add a reference to a project unless the references on the list are relevant to my current work. I don't need references to past projects, especially if the entries have the same
name as a reference that I need now but are not either relevant or are the wrong version.
Do you mean that it is the Reference Manage like the following screen shot?
For example, you add a dll file(ClassLibrary1(C1)) as the reference in project A, you also have a project B which refer to another dll file which have the same name as ClassLibrary 1(C2), but not the same dll file. Now you create a new project C which will
refer to C2, but there are two dll files have the same name, so it is hard for you to select the dll file as the reference in project C.
Did I understand this issue correctly?
If not, please share us a simple sample, so we could understand it better.
But for the reference issue, if possible, I suggest you remove the references with the right click options like the following screen shot, and then re-add the dll files your projects refer to with “Browse” button.
Or you know that what the dll file’s path is, and then move the mouse on the references, I think you could get the folder or the dll file, and then add the correct references.
If I misunderstood this issue, please share us more detiled information, so jdweng and I will provide better answer for this issue.
Sincerely,
Jack

How do you clean up the mac os x startup disc? It seem to have run out of space...
Continually getting the 'force quit applications' message with a note that the start-up disc has no more space available for application memory. Where do I get access to this in order to clean up and delete unwanted stuff?
Any help appreciated as I'm not a Mac user by trade : )WAY TOO SMALL
list: page, hibernation
cache for system, browsers and thumbnails and such (3-4GB)
the "core" of Windows 64-bit is 20GB
all the updates need 10GB temp space
apps and data and anything else you install on top of that
rule of thumb: it will consume 32GB and it needs 10-15GB on top of that and any OS (incl Mac) needs 20% free space to function properly, and on SSDs allow room for write provisioninig (a month's worth of writes).
Trial - practice makes perfect.
Paragon CampTuneX can resize if you have space to reallocate
20GB may have been fine for XP, not Vista or later. -
How do I clean under the trackpad?
Every now and then I get so much crap under there, it's difficult to use. Usually, I need to go to the Apple Store so they can clean it but I'd like to save some time and gas money for something so simple. Is there a way to clean it that won't void the warranty (I assume opening it up might be an issue).
The only "under the trackpad" I am aware of is between the surface you are resting on and the trackpad resting on it. Otherwise there is no "under" you can get at as far as I can tell.
Just wipe the underside of the TP with a soft rag. Clean the top with something like iKlear using a microfiber cloth. That's what I do at the same time I clean my display surface with the iKlear. -
When I click the star to bookmark a site it goes into the recently bookmarked area of the library. I then drag or cut or copy and past it into a folder I already have in the bookmark library, but it doesn't disappear from the recently bookmarked. If I delete it from the recent, it also gets deleted from the folder in the library.
What can I do to keep it in the folder but remove it from recently bookmarked?No, currently there is not a way to do this.

You may need the "gopro" agent if you've a "GoPro" camera, and you may need the "sierrawireless" and "novatelwireless" if you use a Sierra Wireless device of some sort and if you actually need the novatel drivers, but I think that you can safely get rid of the Seagate drivers (unless you need them for some sort of NAS???) and the other stuff.
Give a call back and tell us what you actually have and actually need. Most of it just looks like junk!
