How do I set a default for folders to be read & write

I have an IMAC with OSX v10.6. I am on a network with a few other computers. My disk is used to house shared folders. When I create a new folder or file from Word it is set to "read only" and I have to go into the file info and set it to "read & write". This may be a simple fix but I would like to know how to change my preferences to fix this issue.
THANKS!

The Firefox [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Page+Zoom Page Zoom] feature does a domain by domain level of saving the users preferred zoom level settings, there is no default Page Zoom level setting in Firefox, as with some other browsers.
Try the Default FullZoom Level extension:

How do I set a default From email address when I write or reply to an email

I have more than one email address. I am using Windows 7. When I write an email or reply to one, Thunderbird always seem to use the same address even if is not the address that the sender of an email used. There must some setting that made this address a default. I would like to change the default. I know I can manually select the address I want, but like to have a different one for the default than the one Thunderbird is selecting.

I understand that you want each of several email accounts to act independently, such that mail for account 1 is sent and received only on that account, then account 2 likewise, etc.
For each email account, left click on the account name and then select 'View settings for this account'.
On the 'Account Settings' page, look at the 'Reply-to-Address' (should be blank) and also select the 'Manage Identities' box, which shows the default name and email address. If the default is not for that account, you can add or edit the entries and set the default.
Back on the 'Account Settings' page, select 'Outgoing Server (SMTP)' and check the user name/account there. It should be for the same account.
For each account, the other accounts should not be mentioned in any of the places identified above.

How do I set the default for when I open a new tab? It keeps opening to see strange search window.

The answer that came up only applies to Windows - I am using a Mac.

You can check the browser.newtab.url pref on the about:config page.
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar.
You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
See this article about the New Tab page (about:newtab):
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites
You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).

How do I set the default welcome page for PUBLIC user

gurus,
i'm using -
Oracle 9i Database
Oracle 9ias Portal Release 2
QUESTION => how do I set the default welcome page for the PUBLIC user.
i did the following to achieve this -
1. logged into portal
2. clicked on builder
3. clicked on administer tab
4. selected PUBLIC user in the Portal User Profile portlet
5. went to the preferences tab
6. in the default home page selected a custom page group
7. logged out of portal
8. open a new browsere session
9. type the portal URL and i get the login page ....??
i'm unable to understand this behavior ... shouldn't i be getting the page group that i set for the PUBLIC user in step 6 above ....
the second QUESTION is => when the user logs out he/she should see the PUBLIC page set in step 6 above ... but, instead the user sees a page that is as follows -
Partner Application Name Logout Status [Logout Status]
Oracle Portal (portal) logout status
The SSO Server (orasso) checkmark
buzz.resva.trw.com:7778 checkmark
infrastructure.happy.resva.trw.com checkmark
portal1.buzz.resva.trw.com checkmark
portal2.sylvester.resva.trw.com checkmark
sylvester.resva.trw.com:7778 checkmark
so, how can i set the default page for the PUBLIC user and also a page when he user logs out.
ideas anyone ....?
thanx a bunch.
hero

Hi,
The sequence of operation you are doing to set the home page for public users is correct. You are getting the login screen as the "custom page group" selected as "home page" has not been granted to public.
Also, while logging-out, it is normal behaviour to get the screen where it shows the list of partner applications from where user has been logged-out. When you click on "Return" button, you will get to the "home page" set above.
Hope it clarifies the things.

How can I set a default file for JFileChooser

How do you set the default magnification for Acrobat. All documents that I open enlarge to 174% and are too big.

How do you set the default magnification for Acrobat. All documents that I open enlarge to 174% and are too big. I see how to change the size after the document is open by going to File/properties/initial view and saving this setting. I want all documents to open at 100% when they are first opened. Can I set this as a default view?

Hey Kris,
You might go to Edit> Preferences> Zoom
Do this without opening any particular PDF so that it applies to the program itself and not just one document.
Try this and then let me know.

How do I set the default folder for file - open file... ?

When I save a file, photo, etc., the default folder for OPENING a file becomes the last folder I SAVED to - even after closing and reopening Firefox. Is there a way to maintain the same default folder for opening files?
Thanks.

the default folder. I probably missed the relevant bug in the spew.
I ask a question here as a last resort -- after I've done what I think
is an appropriate search for answers.
But thanks for your help in any case.

How do I set the default print margins for ALL printers in mozilla.cfg

How do I set the default print margins for ALL printers in mozilla.cfg, even ones that are not yet installed / connected to the computer?
I'm trying to install firefox with MDT and apply certain print options, but the printers themselves are connected at a later stage so the print.printer_myprinterhere cannot be used.

Best answer I could find: [https://mike.kaply.com/2012/03/16/customizing-firefox-autoconfig-files/#comment-132668]
If you can figure out how to add the printer name, this can be used to lock the margins.

How do I set the default time for calendar alerts?

How do I set the default time for calendar alerts? I always want to have an alert 15 minutes before my appointments. I don't want to have to manually set it each time I make an appointment (I just moved to iphone from a windows mobile where this was basic stuff so I apologise if this is a noob question).

I have the same issue. I've searched these forums and found lots of people who have asked this same question, but nobody who has received an answer.
About a year ago, I migrated from a Windows PC and a Blackberry (both of which had very simple default alert options) to a MacBook Pro and an iPhone and have yet to find a solution on this forum or from any of my Apple-savvy friends. Very discouraging.

How do I set the default size of a new folder?

I have finder sized the way I want for existing folders and if I do Finder > New Finder Window. These preferrences, however, do not seem to apply to new folders. Everytime I create a new folder on my desktop, and open that folder for the first time, the window size is really small and the sidebar is narrow. This is incredibally annoying. How do I set the default size for all new folders? Is there a plist file I can edit to fix this? Or an AppleScript I can run automatically in the background that fixes this? I am running Mavericks 10.9.1.

If you use the Finder's New Finder Window command (command N) to create a new window, resize it, place it where you want, and set it for icon view or however you want it. Then close it. Closing it is what sets these as the default. That should become the default for every new Finder window you create using the new window command. But if you have lots of windows open at once and then close them, the last window you close will set a new default.
There are lots of utilities that control Windows - their size and placement. I use one called Moom but there are many more.

How can I set the default line height?

Greetings,
I have a report that displays observed behavior in a list format like the one below:
Behavior Observed:
    Withdrawn
    Happy
    Sad
    angry
There are 5 responses as to the severity of the behavior or it is left blank if the behavior was within normal limits.
So the output would look like this:
Behavior Observed:
    Withdrawn            (mild)
    Happy
    Sad                      (moderate)
    angry
The problem is that when this report was designed the details sections were not uniformy formatted and the spacing between data elements is hard to follow from the label to the data field. I tried to set the details to be uniform by selecting "Arrange Lines", however when I do this, the data is displayed too close horizontally. So my question is how do I set the default line height for each field so that they are uniform in distance from each other but not too close due to the font height?
Does this make sense?
Thank you,
Kevin

I'm confused... How are you associating line height with horizontal field spacing???
If you have this...
Behavior Observed:     Severity:
Withdrawn          (mild)
Happy
Sad               (moderate)
angry
But want it to look like this...
Behavior Observed:
Withdrawn (mild)
Happy
Sad (moderate)
angry
all you have to do is create a concatenation formula. Something like this...
{TableName.BehaviorObserved} & " (" & {TableName.Severity} &")"
Sorry if I've misunderstood what you are trying to do.

How do I set the default text in a bound textbox?

How do I set the default value of a bound textbox when the AddNewItem button on the MenuStrip is clicked?
I have the following code (see below), but for some reason it does work when I put the code in the
AddNewItem_Click event; however, it does work if I put it in the
Form's Load Event. The statement in question is Me.txtBusUsagePct.Text = 100.
What am I doing wrong? Why can't I set the default text in the AddNewItem_Click
event?
Private Sub BindingNavigatorAddNewItem_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles BindingNavigatorAddNewItem.Click
Me.txtBusUsagePct.Text = "100"
End Sub

Hello,
Here I am using mocked up data but the important thing is after loading the data. Requires on the form a BindingNavigator and two text boxes.
Public Class Form1
WithEvents bsData As New BindingSource
Private Sub Form1_Load(
ByVal sender As System.Object,
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Using MockedData As New DataTable()
MockedData.Columns.AddRange(New DataColumn() _
New DataColumn("PartName", GetType(String)),
New DataColumn("partqty", GetType(Int32))
MockedData.Rows.Add(New Object() {"Part A", 100})
MockedData.Rows.Add(New Object() {"Part 99", 34})
MockedData.Rows.Add(New Object() {"Part B", 4})
bsData.DataSource = MockedData
End Using
CType(bsData.DataSource, DataTable).AcceptChanges()
BindingNavigator1.BindingSource = bsData
TextBox1.DataBindings.Add("Text", bsData, "Partname")
TextBox2.DataBindings.Add("Text", bsData, "partqty")
End Sub
Private Sub bsData_AddingNew(
ByVal sender As Object,
ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.AddingNewEventArgs) _
Handles bsData.AddingNew
Dim dv As DataView = TryCast(bsData.List, DataView)
Dim rv As DataRowView = dv.AddNew()
rv("PartName") = "(new)"
rv("partqty") = 0
e.NewObject = rv
bsData.MoveLast()
End Sub
End Class
