How do I disable Windows 8.1 Auto-lock

New Computer, Windows 8.1, 64-bit. How do I disable the Windows 8.1 Auto-Lock? I searched Forums, and the most popular answer was to go to User Accounts and Reset Security Policies. I went to Control Panel/User Accounts and there is NO
option to 'Reset Security Policies'. Now what? :(

Hi,
Did you have any custom GPOs for specific users/groups?
If you didn't modify your GPO,you cannot see this option(Reset Security Policies).
For this issue,I suggest you check your power plans setting first.
Also,please check Screen Saver's time and the following setting.

How do I disable linked smart-object auto-update/refresh?

Working in the CC3D features, I am constantly making changes to my bump map. Every time I step-backwards, or make a significant change to the bump texture (smart object?), CC auto-saves the layer. This specific file is a very very large document (3 gigs in the bump texture layer alone), and the 3D layer has lots of lights and is very complex. This auto-refresh/update really bogs down the time that it would take me to make my changes. I have a very fast machine (I know it's fast, I dont need to list my specs), and I have all shadows disabled.
How do I disable linked smart-object auto-update/refresh?

If you do not like a feature like smart objects there is nothing forcing you to use it. Use some other features to do what you want. Please don't ask Adobe to introduce bug into smart object support.
You could work on your bump maps textures in external files. When your done some time in the future you could edit your project with the smart object layer and use replace smart object. Only then will all smart filters be applied to the smart layer with the replaced smart object.
Or if by CC Auto save Layer you referring to CC Generate feature you can disable that feature.
I have no idea what your referring to when you write "CC auto-saves the layer" being a feature. I know CC Generate will write layers out as web files but that more a Web feature then a 3d feature. Where do you see your layer being saved?

How can I disable window snapping/docking?

Ever since CS4 came out I feel like I've been less productive in Photoshop due to annoying window dock/snapping. Windows are constantly sticking and resizing themselves in ways that blocks the work I am trying to do. Also the main image itself automatically resizes to feet the work space and I find this also an annoyance. This is my main question: How can I disable "sticky" windows?
In fact if there a way to get the old classic skin back that would be great, also...because all the programs in CS4 are missing a handle bar at the top of the window, making it difficult to find a place to click to drag the window around...which also wastes time. Sometimes the classic skin is visible underneath buttons in graphic glitches..
Finally, is there a way to disable hardware acceleration completely? My processor is fast enough that it can complete tasks faster than the latency of accessing the GPU, so hardware acceleration actually slows things down. Also the hardware code has bugs in it that prevents me from opening massive images (eg, 21600 x 21600 image crashes).

Edit, preferences. Everything is there to play with

HT1695 How do you disable an existing WiFi auto connect?

I have an Apple iPhone 4. Under Settings > General > Network > WiFi it states "Known networks will be joined automatically. If no know networks are available, you will be asked before joining a new network." My question is, how do you disable the automatic connection to known networks?
Thanks,
Sue

If you are near the Wifi network you want to disable, it will be listed in the listing of available networks, obviously.
Tap the blue arrow on the right side of the wifi's name. If the network offers auto join and auto login you can turn them off here. Not all networks offer this. If you just want to keep your phone from automatically joining a specific network you have used in the past you can tap Forget this network and you will be disconnected from it.
Or if you want to disable all wifi networks you have joined in the past you can reset your network settings.
Settings => General => Reset => Reset Network Settings
this will reset your cellular connection as well as your wifi connections. You will have to enter any ID and Password information for the networks that require you to log in, such as your home wifi network (You do have your home network password protected right?) but you will have disabled your wifi connections.

How to Turn Off Screen, but NOT Auto-Lock phone?

I have an iPhone 5S. I have auto-lock set to 5 minutes. I often want to shut the screen for a short period (less than 5 minutes) to conserve the battery and to put it in my pocket while making sure I don't do something on the phone. As such, I press the sleep button at the top. No matter how quickly I turn the phone back on (by pressing the sleep button again) it is now locked. I find this *very* annoying. Obviously, the "Sleep button" doesn't just put the phone to sleep, but locks it too *despite* the auto-lock setting. Is there any way to really just "sleep" the phone withOUT turning on the lock?
Thank you,
Stuart

"Sleep" and "lock" are the same thing where an iPhone is concerned. The only other option is passcode lock.
Best of luck.

How to permanently disable Windows Defender?

Windows Defender won't stay disabled. I searched through the threads and saw several others have had this problem but the issue has apparently never been resolved. I removed Windows Defender from startup using MSCONFIG, disabled it from the GUI
that's accessible through the Control Panel, and disabled the service through the Administrative Services > Services panel, yet the program is still re-enabling itself after every reboot.
I searched around but saw no "Fix-It" articles or anything suggesting that Microsoft has any interest whatsoever in trying to resolve this issue. Does anyone know of a registry hack or a third-party tool that will knock out Windows Defender
permanently?

As per the link provided by
Cyber_Defend_Team it should be disabled...
But in rare case it wont completely disabled.. At this point you can do a registry trick and reboot.. Beforeo ahead backup the registry key ...
1)Then change directory to the location where you have extracted the PSTools.zip
(Mine it is C:\Users\araa\Desktop\PSTools )
(2) open registry editor with psexec with following parameters.. -s -i -d
The command should be psexec -s -i -d regedit
Then registry editor will be opened and navigate to this path
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Defender]
Double click on REG_DWORD "DisableAntiSpyware" and
make that value to 1.

How can I disable windows firewall and install cluster software and its service using unattended.xml file?

platform: 2008r2
services which need install: MSDTC Service, Windows Cluster Service, SQL Cluster

Hi,
I am not quiet understanding your question, could you clarify your question, as far as I know, an answer file is an XML-based file that contains setting definitions and values
to use during Windows Setup. In an answer file, you specify various setup options, including how to partition disks, the location of the Windows image to install, and the product key to apply. You can also specify values that apply to the Windows installation,
such as names of user accounts, display settings, and Internet Explorer favorites. The answer file for Setup is typically called Unattend.xml.

How do I disable the page from auto scrolling or moving on it's own?

Not sure who the genuis at Adobe that came up with the auto-scrolling page feature, but it's really bad when trying to focus on the artwork. How can I turn it off?

It's horrible!
Worse than iTunes 11

HT4528 How do I disable Siri when in the lock screen?

I tried Settings, General, Passcode Lock, and turned off Siri when locked but, when in the locked screen if you hold down the square button Siri still comes on. All day I can here my phone in my pocket turning on and off and telling me it didnt understand what I said.

That's not Siri, that's Voice Control which is what you get when you turn Siri off. Perhaps a different pocket or a belt clip. If things keep pushing that hard against the screen of your phone in your pocket, eventually, you could do some damage.
Best of luck.

How can I disable ctrl+alt+del and other keys

I need help on how to disable some keyboard key combinations (ctrl+alt+del)in particular. Disabling other keyboard keys is equally welcomed.
Also how can I disable Windows 2000/XP's Task Manager from exposing my running program to be terminated.
Thanks

Also how can I disable Windows 2000/XP's Task Manager
from exposing my running program to be terminated.This can be done by limiting the permissions of the Windows user that you would like to prevent from doing this. The user manager lets you do this.

How do I disable stand mode completely? (on the Flex 2-15)

Whenever my laptop's in my bag and I move around, it changes from laptop mode to stand mode and back over and over and over and beeps every time it does so. For me, the stand mode is almost completely useless but a large bother on many occasions. How can I disable the ability to change to stand mode on this computer?

I don't beleive that I am asking for Register Level Support. I was under the impression that these cards could be implemented with windowed AND/OR non-windoed register addressing. Is the PCI-MIO-16E-4 able to use windowed and non-windoed register addressing? If so, how do I disable windowed mode?
Thanks

How can I DISABLE the pop up 'Would you like to copy it to Library', preventing this message from bothering for each and every book, again and again, time after time? (Windows 7 64bit US).

How can I DISABLE the pop up 'Would you like to copy it to Library', preventing this message from bothering for each and every book, again and again , time after time? (Windows 7 64bit US).
I guess this may be a feature request. Adobe may think this is a good message for every new eBook.
I sure would like to decide about that myself.
Thanks in advance if this will be changed.

Decided to setup the mail for exchange on my N8 so I could see my work emails. Worked like a charm but after a couple of hours decided I didn't like being that contactable so deleted the mailbox.
Now to the problem, during setup I was forced to enable the phone lock and had to pick a 7 digit alphanumeric code. Fair enough I thought and went ahead. When I removed the mailbox however the lock remained in place with the default auto time of 30 minutes. When I checked in Phone management there is no option to disable this lock so I thought I could at least change the default time to something bigger but when you try, it remains at 30 mins. You also can't disable the auto time as it pops up an error message saying can't unlock phone.
Does anyone know if I'm missing something obvious here or is this something which can't be disabled once it's switched on? I've done a soft reset back to factory settings with no luck and the only other thing I can think of is re installing the firmware which seems a bit extreme.
Would like to hope there is some way to have control over this. Can someone help?
Which firmware your N8 having now? You can check firmware by choosing Call, then type *#0000#.
My N8 works fine on security setting and able to define Phone auto lock period, by choosing Menu>Settings>Phone>Phone management>Security settings>Phone and SIM card>Phone auto lock period>User defined>Lock after(minutes)
You will prompt to enter Lock code each time u define auto lock priod or enable/disable auto lock.
Hope this can help you.

How do you disable iPod Auto Update with iTunes?

How do you disable iPod Auto Update with iTunes? I know there is a key press combo that will do it but I forget which keys. Anyone?
Intel Piii Windows XP Pro

Keep iTunes from automatically updating your iPod
Another Easier Alternative:
While connecting the iPod to the computer, hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys in Windows (CMD + Option keys on a Mac). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes. The iPod will then appear in the iTunes source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto-sync and then you can release the keys. This action may take between 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer.
You can then ‘right-click‘ on the iPod icon in iTunes’ source column and select iPod Options, then check the box that says “Manually manage songs and playlists”. You can now manage your library without losing any songs on the iPod.
Note: If connecting to a different computer than the ‘iPod’s Home Computer’, iTunes will ask you if you want to update your iPod and give you an opportunity to opt out. This will not happen if you connect to the ‘Home’ computer – iTunes will auto-sync without warning!. Best to know the difference.
