How do I disable Autocomplete using the config files - NOT by using Options Privacy...

Hi,
I have around 300 computers around the country which need the Autocomplete feature turning off for forms.
Obviously it wouldn't be practical to remote onto each machine and change the setting in Options > Privacy > Firefox Will... > Use custom settings for history > Remember search and form history - nor is it practical to use the about:config screen since the address and toolbars are disabled by default to prevent users from browsing to other pages they aren't meant to.
I was wondering if there was a config file or a registry setting where I can change this setting in the backgorund, that way we can push the config files or a registry tweak out the all machines that would change this setting.
Any help would be appreciated greatly.

I can see where those answers are going, there must be an easy way to do it using js config files or userChrome.css.though.
I tried doing an entry in userChrome whereby it hides the autocomplete box by overriding the pages stylesheet but the entry only seemed to work on a per domain basis... however the site that the browsers will be using is an intranet and therefore each PC will have a different URL to go to - making it impractical for masses of machines. Not sure if this can be worked upon to apply to every site?

My laptop crashed. I have the disk (intact). How do I find and move the inbox files (not local folders) of my three pop3 accounts to the new laptop?

Old laptop had Thunderbird. THe laptop stopped working, so I took the C drive (SATA disk) and and plugged that to a USB port.
New laptop has Thunderbird installed, local folders have been restored. The inbox contents are missing (I use the option "download from server", so the recent correspondence is there.
I have three POP3 accounts, so I am trying to identify the location of three separate "inbox" and "Sent" folders, and add them to the new installation.
Where are those files stored, and what would be the simple way to restore them on the new laptop?

So this seemed to result in the outcome I wanted:
- Find the old Thunderbird profile location (.../AppData/Roaming ... THunderbird/Profiles/...default/Mail/first.account.domain/Inbox
- FInd the same location on the New laptop
Copy the first (old, backup) inbox to a new file in the New profile folder; I did Inbox.bak
Start TBird - and lo and behold, I have folders "Inbox" (recent mail since the old laptop crash) and "Inbox.bak" (the mail I thought was lost).
Looks like I need to add all accounts to the New TBird first so that it creates the profiles, and after that copy the backup Inbox & Sent files to the new profile folders.
This worked for me. Not very elegant, with several manual steps, but end result is what I needed.
It would be great if there was a smoother way for disaster recovery.
And yes, I should have had better backup policy in place. For everyone's benefit - I do Data Center systems for a living, and have seen far too many "backup" services which do not actually work in a restore situation. That's why my personal backups are direct file copies on large disks. It works, but leaves room for manual error, which is what happened here.
Actual folders, btw, I keep where I see them - "c:\users\username\Thunderbird" - for this very reason.

How to save pictures with the config file "Write Key.vi"

hi all,
On my front panel I've few controls pictures containing photos (JPG type) . The user can select the photo he wants using the classic file dialog box.
Usally I use the config files VI's to save the control values from one run to another one. In the config files VIs, I use the polymorphic "write Key.vi" wich accept only booean, I32, U32, path, and string dada type, but no picture !
I've tried the "flatten to string" fonction (picture --> flatten to string --> writekey.vi) , no broken wire but the conversion is very very too long and to heavy (20Mo a key!).
another way, would be to write in a xml file, I've also tried but I've always get the 1104 error: No end tag was found for an XML start/end tag pair.
can someone help me.
what is the best way for retrieving controls pictures with photos

Hi GerdW
Many thanks for your quick answer. Always happy to get advises from fellow programmers.
You suggest to use the "path" input of the "write key.vi" (configuration file utilities) to retrieve photos that a user would have selected in a previous run. Could be a good solution in a number of applications but what I would like to do is like in a excel or word file. Once a photo has been embeded in one xls file for ex., I find it back each time i open this xls file, even if the original photo's file has been deleted or if my application runs on another computer.
xml file looks interesting for that purpose (i mean used as config file). I can easily store in a xml file a labview picture (like a colored rectangle e.g.) but when i try with a photo (wich is a also a picture) labview returns always the error 1104.
How to fixe this error, or maybe there is another way to store photos in a config file without passing through xml,
kind regards.

How do I disable transparency for the menubar and addressbar in firefox?

How do I disable transparency for the menubar and addressbar in firefox? (This does not mean disable windows aero or transparency in windows 7. A workaround has been posted. Stop spamming threads with disable transparency and aero everytime someone asks about this.)
It is difficult to read.
Edit:
Is there a setting to tone down the Aero usage of the in Firefox 5 so it looks more like Firefox 3.6. Is there a way to do this in the preferences or inside about:config?
I know what Aero is and how to turn it off.
The 2nd reply has images attached show why it is difficult to read. An light spot on a desktop background or an icon can make it very difficult to read. This is the #1 reason why I keep going back to 3.6.

If you are up to tweaking some CSS code in a style see
"Color Toolbar(s) to identify profile (DM*)" -- in http://userstyles.org/styles/9514, and you must read all of the description material understand what has to be done.
It is a style, and playing with the code is what styles are about. You will have to copy the section of code in the description to the bottom of the style for it to be complete to remove additional Aero effects, and choose two or three colors for the toolbars.

How to use a config file?

People,
i have a basic question. How to extract the contents from a ".config" file?
I have a config file with few sections and few global variables defined.
how to extract these data; or how to use this file?
a sample .config file, that i have is,
# global variables
pageTitle = "Main Menu"
bodyBgColor = #000000
tableBgColor = #000000
rowBgColor = #00ff00
[Customer]
pageTitle = "Customer Info"
[Login]
pageTitle = "Login"

Intro = """This is a value that spans more
than one line. you must enclose
it in triple quotes."""
# hidden section

Hi Kumar,
Instead of .config file you can use .properties file. Place the configuration part in that file. Use ResourceBundle class. This class have methods like getResourceString(String key) which reads the .properties file and returns a String as it's Value. I normally use the same. I have written one class for it. C if you can use it. The keys are case sensitive. initialize is a directory in which i am keeping my Config.properties file.
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
import java.net.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class ReadConfig
public static ResourceBundle resources;
* This is responsible for getting data from Config.properties for setting properties externally.
static
try
resources = ResourceBundle.getBundle("initialize.Config", Locale.getDefault());
catch (MissingResourceException mre)
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(new JFrame(), "initialize/Config.properties not found.\n Please report it to administrator.");
System.err.println("initialize/Config.properties not found");
System.exit(1);
}//static
public ReadConfig()
System.out.println(getResourceString("DatabaseName"));
System.out.println(getResourceString("JDBCDriver"));
System.out.println(getResourceString("DSN"));
System.out.println(getResourceString("ConnectionString"));
}//constructor
public String[] tokenize(String input)
Vector v = new Vector();
StringTokenizer t = new StringTokenizer(input);
String cmd[];
while (t.hasMoreTokens())
v.addElement(t.nextToken());
cmd = new String[v.size()];
for (int i = 0; i < cmd.length; i++)
cmd[i] = (String) v.elementAt(i);
return cmd;
* A method takes string as parameter and reference of ResourceBundle.
* It is used with Resources Bundle i.e. with .properties file.
* When value of particular string from .properties file has to retrive.
public String getResourceString(String nm, ResourceBundle resources)
String str;
try
str = resources.getString(nm);
catch (MissingResourceException mre)
str = null;
return str;
* A method takes string as parameter. It is used with Resources Bundle
* i.e. with .properties file. When value of particular string from .properties

public static String getResourceString(String nm)
String str;
try
str = resources.getString(nm.trim());
catch (MissingResourceException mre)
str = null;
return str;
}//getResourceString(String nm)
* This method takes string as parameter and returns corresponding URL.
* If key is null, then will return null.
public URL getResource(String key)
String name = getResourceString(key);
if (name != null)
URL url = this.getClass().getResource(name);
return url;
return null;
}//getResource(String key)
public static void main(String[] args)
new ReadConfig();
}//main

Hope this will be helpful to you.

How do I disable Security Warning - "The application requires an earlier...

h4. How do I disable Security Warning - "The application requires an earlier Java. Do you want to continue?" ?
The message is correct - our ESS application requires 1.4.08, but this message has begun with 1.6.11. Earlier versions of 1.6 did not produce this. Is there any setting anywhere that I can use to prevent this from displaying for my users?
Thanks.

The simplest approach is to only have the latest version of Java "enabled".
A fix, step-by-step, is as follows:
1. Close all browsers;
2. Make sure you are running latest version of Java (check this via Java Control Panel in Windows Control Panel, or, more simply, just download latest version from Java.com) (as of today's date, the latest version is 1.6.0_14);
3. Open Java Control Panel (via Windows Control Panel);
4. Go to "Java" tab;
5. Click on "View" in "Java Applet Runtime Settings" of that tab;
6. Uncheck "Enabled" for every version of Java listed EXCEPT for the latest version;
7. Click "OK", etc., and thus close Java Control Panel;
8. Restart browser(s);
9. Done.
Alternatively, you can Uninstall all earlier versions via Windows Control Panel - Programs and Features (This is in Vista; similarly in other Windows versions)... Select previous versions and uninstall them. Leave the most current version.
This was a puzzling one, at least for me. Took a while to figure out.

Jaas How to specify the config file

Hi
I'm working on a web app based on Sun's App Server 8. I am implementing security using a Jaas LoginModule. I cant figure out how i can specify the config file because if i make the change in the java.security file the server throws all sorts of exceptions....... i'm not sure how i can go about that..
Thanks..

Read the documentation. There are several different files that you can use to specifiy the handler to use for a particular context. One is ${user.home}/.java.login.config

Some of the songs I have downloaded onto i tunes won't play when I select it to do so. The error message I get is "The song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" How can I get my songs to play?

Some of the songs I have downloaded into i tunes won't play when I select it to do so. The error message I get is "The song can not be used because the original file can not be found. Would you like to locate it?" When I select yes I'm sent to a screen that has my i tunes library listed. When I select the song in question I'm asked if I would like to open the song. When I select this option I get nothing. The songs I have downloaded must be somewhere because they are listed in my i tunes library and on the screen I've been sent to. I can't the songs to play however. This is not true of all of my songs but it is true of quite a few of them. Actually, one song is too many. How do I get my music to play that seems to be locked up somewhere in the computer?

Presuming they're on your computer, right click on them and then follow the prompts to locate hte file on your computer.

SQL Agent Job failing - not using credentials in the config file for Data source

Hi
We have an SSIS pkg, that is secheduled as SQL Agent job using proxy account. The pkg contanins data source for connecting different SQL servers and the proxy account do not have access to the external DBs. The data source credentials are stored in the Config
file.
Why the job is not using the credentials in the config file and try to use the proxy account and failing.
Do the proxy account need access to all the external dbs in the pkg, and then what is the purpose of the config file.
I am sorry, i am not SSIS person trying to understand. If any one can explain tha will be great!!
Thank you!

How can I auto export a PDF File using the "Smallest File Size" preset and set the Exported File Name based on information from an Imported PDF?

Greetings all,
I am trying to create a script to automate a PDF export process for my company for inDesign. I’m fairly new to inDesign itself and have no previous experience with javascript, although I did take C++ in high school and have found it helpful in putting this code together.
We have an inDesign template file and then use the Multi-page PDF importer script to import PDF files. We then have to export two version of each file that we import, then delete the imported file and all of the pages to reset the template. This has to be done for nearly 1000 pdf files each month and is quite tedious. I’m working on automating the process as much as possible. I’ve managed to piece together code that will cleanup the file much quicker and am now trying to automate the PDF exports themselves.
The files are sent to us as “TRUGLY#####_Client” and need to be exported as “POP#####_Client_Date-Range_North/South.pdf”
For example, TRUGLY12345_Client needs to be exported as POP12345_Client_Mar01-Mar31_North and POP12345_Client_Mar01-Mar31_South.
There are two templates built into the template file for the north and south file that are toggled easily via layer visibility switches. I need to get a code that can ideally read the #s from the imported Trugly file as well as the Client and input those into variables to use when exporting. The date range is found in the same place in the top right of each pdf file. I am not sure if this can be read somehow or if it will have to be input manually. I can put North or South into the file name based on which template layer is visible.
I am not sure how to go about doing this. I did find the following code for exporting to PDF with preset but it requires me to select a preset and then type the full file name. How can I set it to automatically use the “Smallest File Size” preset without prompting me to choose and then automatically input some or preferably all of the file name automatically? (If the entire filename is possible then I don’t even want a prompt to appear so it will be fully automated!)
PDF Export Code (Originally from here: Simple PDF Export with Preset selection | IndiSnip [InDesign® Snippets]):
var myPresets = app.pdfExportPresets.everyItem().name;
myPresets.unshift("- Select Preset -");
var myWin = new Window('dialog', 'PDF Export Presets');
myWin.orientation = 'row';
with(myWin){
    myWin.sText = add('statictext', undefined, 'Select PDF Export preset:');
    myWin.myPDFExport = add('dropdownlist',undefined,undefined,{items:myPresets});
    myWin.myPDFExport.selection = 0;
    myWin.btnOK = add('button', undefined, 'OK');
myWin.center();
var myWindow = myWin.show();
if(myWindow == true && myWin.myPDFExport.selection.index != 0){
    var myPreset = app.pdfExportPresets.item(String(myWin.myPDFExport.selection));
    myFile = File(File.saveDialog("Save file with preset: " + myPreset.name,"PDF files: *.pdf"));
    if(myFile != null){
        app.activeDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, myFile, false, myPreset);
    }else{
        alert("No File selected");
}else{
    alert("No PDF Preset selected");
So far my code does the following:
1) Runs the Multi-Page PDF Import Script
2) Runs PDF Export Script Above
3) Toggles the Template
4) Runs #2 Again
5) Deletes the imported PDF and all pages and toggles template again.
It’s close and much better than the original process which was almost 100% manual but I’d like to remove the Preset prompt from the PDF script and have it automatically select the “Smallest File Size” preset. and then if there’s a way to have it auto-fill in the file name so no user input is required at all other than selecting each file to import. (If there’s a way to setup a batch action for the multi-import script that would be even better!)
Thanks in advance and if there’s anything else I can provide that would help please let me know! Even a nudge in the right direction will be a big help!

If you hold down the option key, it will typically show the location. Or you can often hit option-return on the file and it will reveal the file in the Finder, instead of opening it.
Final option is to open it, and just option-click the filename in the toolbar of Preview and it should show you the location.
It's probably an attachment to an email you've received. If you have Mail set to cache emails and their attachments it'll be stashed in a subdirectory of ~/Library/Mail. Which is fine.

How can i use the ACL file to control the access from the other website?

Hello all~
My Sun one is 6.1 sp3 on Windows 2003 SE, and I am try to use the ACL file to control the access.
My ACL file is below:
version 3.0;
acl "path=my_path_on_HD";
deny absolute (all)
(user = "anyone") and
(dns = "*.my_site.com");
deny absolute (all)
(user = "anyone") and
(dns = "*.other_site.net");
Once I add the "deny", anyone include my site is decline for vist the path specify in the ACL file. But if remove the "deny", everyone include other one's website can access the file.
Can anybody tell me how to make it work?

I think you've misunderstood what the dns attribute is for. The dns attribute returns the hostname of the client accessing your website, not the hostname of the website that linked to your website.
For example, when someone using the Comcast ISP goes to a malicious website at example.com that loads images from your website at www.amigoo.net, the dns attribute will be something like "c-1-2-3-4.ca.comcast.net", not "example.com". ACLs are used for authentication and authorization of clients (not the websites those clients chose to visit), and they don't provide the functionality you're looking for.
If I understand correctly, you want to prevent websites other than amigoo.net from linking to files in your d:/webserver/imat/pics_upload directory. You can achieve this adding the following lines to your obj.conf configuration file:
<Object ppath="d:/webserver/imat/pics_upload/*">
<Client referer="*~*amigoo.net">
PathCheck fn="deny-existence"
</Client>
</Object>

Do you perhaps have more than one Apple ID? If your response is "No," are you absolutely positive?

I set up my new computer using the apple ID i always use, and then later migrated all my files from my old mac book to the same new one, but under a different user (same ID). how do i consolidate the two users on my new mac book?

i set up my new computer using the apple ID i always use, and then later migrated all my files from my old mac book to the same new one, but under a different user (same apple ID). how do i consolidate the two users on my new mac book?

Well if you use the Finder Go menu to Computer, a window opens up double click on your boot drive and then on Users folder, open the other user folder and open Public and drop your files into DropBox
When you do this it will copy them and change the permissions and user assigned to it, so log into the other user and place them into your respective normal folders.
Once you have all your files over and don't need the old user, use System Preferences > Accounts to delete it if you wish, however it's good two Admin accounts on the machine in case something bad happens in the other. Some people for security reasons on use a Standard account for most uses and a emergency Admin account.
One can still do most Admin things in Standard user.
