How do I hide Windows .ini files in a dock folder?

Background: On my MacBook Pro, I divided my hard drive into 3 partitions - one for Mac OS X, one for Windows 7, and one for common storage that I use to transfer my files between OS's.
With this setup, I set my Dropbox folder on the "common storage" partition, and created a Dropbox dock folder for easy access. This isn't really a major problem, but it simply annoys me. Since Windows also has access to the Dropbox folder, it creates a desktop.ini file that shows up whenever I use the Dropbox dock shortcut. I tried editing it through Finder, but it's already hidden. It only shows up in the dock folder.
Is there a way to hide this .ini file?

What do you mean deleted from the user's list? Do you mean removed permissions? If so, right click the folder and select get info. Scroll down to sharing and permissions. Click the lock and put in your password. Then click the + and add the user back.
Otherwise, more details...

How can i hide a pages file from other users

How can I hide a pages file so other users can't open or see it?

My own tip is to save this kind of doc in an encrypted disk image (the .dmg items)
Such item resemble to every downloaded installer so it doesn' take special attention and the encryption scheme is an efficient one.

How Do I create Windows Form file in VS and add the form to my VS project?

C#, How Do I create Windows Form file in VS and add the form file to my VS project by using C# code?
I like to create a Windows Form file into my VS Win Form project by using C#. I have the path and the file name.
I need a Win Form with FileName.cs, FileName.Designer.cs, FileName.resx, and FileName (as you see it VS by adding a Win Form manually by using VS)
Rune Brattas

You cannot create a Form from code at run time.
For one thing, the user running your application will, almost certainly, not have a copy of Visual Studio to hand with which to build anything. (Not that you actually need 'Studio at all; Notepad and csc.exe are all you actually
need), but that's another story).
You can do this with an awful lot of pain, using the innards of the compiler from iside your own program, compiling the new Form's source code on the fly and then executing the resulting assembly within your application. IMHO, that's a simply terrifying
prospect especially as the code you will be compiling will be on someone else's machine and over which you will have absolutely no control. If you're lucky, they'll spell something wrong and it won't compile.
The "usual" way to do this sort of thing is to create additional, "plug-in" forms as library assemblies and have your program load and execute these at run-time.

How do I empty all the files in the "Downloads" folder ?

How do I empty all the files in the "Downloads" folder ? Can they all be deleted at once?

PS: when you look into the menu bar commands by mouse, you may note
there are keyboard shortcuts to perform the same tasks; such as they are.
*Edit> Select all* = uses 'Command + A' keys to do this, without mouse/menu.
And, it can be done quickly by keyboard. +(this will select all, for the next step)+
You would have to select the folder to be edited; yet there also are other key
board commands to select items, folders, applications, etc all without a mouse.
Once you choose items in a folder or other location, you can then use a
keyboard command to Move them to the Trash; from there, Empty Trash
with a three-key command; all without use of the mouse.
The keys to *Move to Trash* looks like it is 'Command + Delete'. Some key-
boards have two marked delete keys, so you may have to try both. The
+small delete key+ has an icon with right-facing x in a box.
The three keys, to *Empty Trash* via keyboard instead of menu bar/mouse
appear to be the combination of 'up-arrow, command, delete.'
Understanding some of the iconography of symbols used to indicate function,
or what keys to use, as indicated by icons instead of words, is not too hard.
There are articles and web pages which show various keyboard shortcuts.
Here's an example, from one of several I've bookmarked over a few years.
This one has images and shows what the key shortcut symbols mean.
• Mastering Keyboard Shortcuts: (from myfirstmac site)
http://www.myfirstmac.com/index.php/mac/articles/mastering-keyboard-shortcuts
• Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1343
However, if you have anything you may want to keep before mass deleting, be
sure to move it into another folder. +re: The docked folders in Leopard+ 10.5 have
one .PDF in each, about each of the purposed folders. I haven't deleted mine yet.
{And I've added another folder into the dock near the Trash for my own alias items
and the original is on the hard disk drive (one user) or could be put into an account
folder so it would not have permissions or privilege issues with a second account.}
I'd thought about those 'keyboard symbols' after the first posting; but,
had to take an elder parent on several errands that took quite awhile.
PS: there probably are ways to use AppleScript and Automator to handle folder contents.
Good luck & happy computing!

How to merge multipal saplogon.ini files..

How can I merge the multiple saplogon.ini files if system is on Domain?

We are merging two SAP Logon.ini file. The common file I placed in c:windows and the users own entries are in saplogon.ini in the %appdata%commonSAP directory. And by using note 1426178 pkt. 5, we set ConfigFileOnServer to c:
Now the user can create own entries in own saplogon.ini, and not change entries in the common saplogon.in I c:windows.
If you update the common file, you just have to replace the file in c:windows.

How can I hide my flv files?

hello,
I made a flash project that I published as an exe file. this project calls a number of external flv files. Now, I want to hide these files, because it's my own work and I don't want anyone to steal it, how can I hide these files?
my project will be published on a cd.
thank you for your help

Well the best feature of having all the content on the CD is that it's all self contained, no need to go someplace else (like the Internet) to get content. But it certainly is possible to store the .flv files on a Web server and have Flash content on the CD go to the Internet to download and play the videos. Little more complex to get it all working AND then the user must have an Internet connection available or they can't see the videos. But even then... if it's on the Internet it can be copied.
Or look into sone type of encryption program:
http://www.truecrypt.org/
http://www.axantum.com/axcrypt/
but I'm not sure that you can use the content without first decrypting the data.
As for watermarking and adding a copyright notice, this is normally done when the video is first being edited in whatever software is used to capture and edit the original video file. Once the file is already created, there are software programs to add the mark... something like this:

Best of luck!

How to know when Windows support files are updated? (BC 4)

I have MacBook Pro Retina w/Lion (of course), installed Win 7 Pro 64-bit, using Boot Camp procedures and files that were issued June 14. My BootCamp Assistant says it's 4.0.4.
My question is: how do I know when the Windows Support files (drivers) are updated by Apple? I would have expected an update by now, but I just went into Boot Camp Assistant on Lion, re-downloaded the drivers, and I *think* they are all dated June 14th still. (looked in WindowsSupport folder which is where it said it downloaded them)
There doesn't seem to be a reasonable way to get notified if there are new drivers or not.
My expectation was that I could run *something* either on the Windows or OS X side, and it would *tell me* that drivers needed updating, or at least say "you are running version X".
It can't be that I have to re-download the drivers and check the dates on all the files every time I'm curious if there's updates available. Can it?
The files seem to be on some mysterious Apple server and the only thing I can do to that server is ask to download the support files. No query, no "is an update available", ... ???
It's not even clear to me that the Windows Support files have a version number.

When the next revsion of OS X you can run Boot Camp Assistant again, or of course once 10.8 though might want to just sit tight, you would likely see reports in forums and elsewhere.
Apple Software Update for Windows use to but no longer.
The easiest way to see device driver version, chipset and more is with AIDA64

How to convert old windows 98 files to pages

This might be a very far out question that has no answer. I just found some ancient (windows 98) files on a memory stick that I would love to convert to pages. Is there a way to do that? Or a website where I can convert them (I'm probably thinking along the lines of youtube converters) or is it just tough luck - ancient hyroglyphs lost in the sands of time....
Any help how to do it (step to step instructions required, I'm afraid) or tips of where and how to do it are much appreciated!

I just opened a 1997 Word .doc file in LibreOffice 3.6.2 with all formatting preserved. Pages gave an import error as unsupported version of Word. Also, OpenOffice may work just as well, due to its inclusion of original StarOffice code. Both applications are free.
Connected a 1999 external USB floppy disk reader to Mountain Lion, and without drivers, it just worked.

How to edit the setup.ini file of the Adobe Reader X MUI?

Hi everyone.
I discovered today that is is possible to edit the setup.ini file of the Adobe Reader X MUI 10.1 installer (multilingual) in order to customize the installation. I stil have some questions about this.
1. I would like to make a custom installation of Reader X in german, english, french and spanish. Is this possible? I want to leave out all other languages from my installation..,.
2. I would like to edit the ini file to make an automatic update of my Reader, by installing all the patches (10.10, 10.11, 10.12, 10.13, 10.14, 10.15 and 10.16). Is this possible?
I patched my Reader manually, but when I install only the 10.15 and 10.16 updates, some functions are still missing (signature toolbar and add text function) so I suspect the patches are not-cumulative.
Can anyone on the forums show me the right codes for doing this? How can I get a 4-language upgraded Reader X?
Sincerely yours.
K. Adam.

See the docs: http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/index.html.
The admin guide tells you what updates are cumulative (all 10.x quarterlies) and how to set the lang via the cmd line. However, check out the Wizard Guide and download the free Wizard to customize your install and .ini as needed. Much easier.
hth,
Ben

How to create table from .ini file

As Taki said above, to do this you need to use the Report Generation Toolkit. This will allow you to generate tables in a word document. Look for the examples in the LabVIEW Help for a rough idea of how to use the toolkit and if you have any specific questions after that then feel free to post them here.

How to develop a windows find files like utility in java

hi,
I am writing a java program that provides the same functionality as provided by the Windows find files option. is there some windows dll or something like that i can use thru JNI or is there some better solution?
any help will be appreciated.
regards

If your program has to be portable, I think it would be better to develop Java code in order to search through file system.
I think you should develop objects that allows to filter files (implementing FileFilter interface) and return a list of the found files to your graphical objects.
You can use the java.io.File.listFiles(FileFilter) method to retrieve a list of files from a given directory.
Write several FileFilter classes (and why not FilenameFilter classes) to provide different way of filtering. Each of those will be used with the listFiles method.
But do not forget that the way you write your filefilters will change the performance of your program.
There is also another problem you might encounter : File Access Rights. If your file system contains file restrictions, the listFiles method may throw SecurityException (if a SecurityManager is created) or return null (if no SecurityManager is set).

How to open the windows open file dialog in forms60

Hello to all
Please help have a form with a browse button.I need to open the windows open file dialog so the end user can search for a file.Can it be done with OLE or DDE package?
Any sample code is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

The options you are considering suggest that you are running client-server ( it really would help if people told us ),
If that is the case you can use the GET_FILE_NAME built in.
Bear in mind that oracle consider client server obsolete and this will not work the same on the web, although you can use webutil in later versions.
I hope forms product management notice what a high proportion of questions on this forum are about forms 6.
