How remove extraneous entries in Finder file window?

My Finder file window has three extraneous entries - one for an application I accidentally dropped outside the application lined, and two for CD burns that I completed some time ago. I have tried unsuccessfully to drag them to Trash. I also have explored Prererences unsuccessfully looking for some way to solve this problem. Anybody have an idea how to fix this?

If these are in the Sidebar in a Finder window, hold down the Command key while dragging them out of the Sidebar. When you release the mouse, they'll poof-disappear.

How do I save and find files on the ipad?

How do I save and find files on the iPad?

Files/documents need to be stored/associated within an app on the iPad, unlike 'normal' computers there is no file system which allows you to save files with no means of being able to read/use them. So if you want to store a file on the iPad you first need an app on the iPad that supports that file type.
How you then get the file onto the iPad and into the app will depend on what the app is and what transfer method(s) it supports. e.g. some apps use the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to your computer's iTunes, some apps support the transfer of files via your wifi network, the iBooks app uses the Books section of your iTunes (and the device's Books tab) to sync content, and other transfer methods include email attachments, Dropbox etc. The file is then found by going into your chosen app and opening/using the file.

How do i re install the file windows root\system32\hal.dll from a black screen

I was given two of the exact same computers a compaq presario c500 c501nr. One had major cosmetic issues and the other the mother board was no good so i put them together to make one good one. everything went well except i now have a black screen on boot up that says [please re-install a copy of this file<windows root>\system32\hal.dll.] how do i go about finding that and installing it? it runs windows vista

if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-10-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a problem downloading, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com

How to add entries a jsp file during a Source view

hi all,
im currently extending the tags present on BEA. im creating my own custom tag. when i tried to drag and drop it on the current source view of the jsp file..
is it possible for me to check the current source code of the jsp file first before preceding. For example. if the tag to be inserted must be within a certain tag only..
or modify an existing tag. say a <netui:form > and add some attributes on it.

Looks like Crystal Reports is using log4j for logging, which is so badly designed that it throws a fit if the log4j configuration is missing.
All you need to do to get it to work is put a log4j.properties file in the classpath (google for a dummy file with default values). It usually needs to be put in the root of the classpath.
Or you can initialize the log4j logging for your own application properly and Crystal Reports will piggyback on it.

How to use PowerShell to find files created in the last 15 min and bigger than 5 KB

Hi!
I am trying to write to a text file, the files created in the last 15 min and bigger than 5KB
I have created this PowerShell script but it's not working. Can somebody help me with this?
$Notprocessedfiles = Get-ChildItem c:\test | where {$_.Lastwritetime -gt (date).addminutes(-15)}
if ($Notprocessedfiles.lenght -gt 3KB)
$Notprocessedfiles | Out-file c:\test\maybe.txt
Thanks!

Do it the PowerShell way. It is easier and faster.
Get-ChildItem c:\test |
      Where-Object{$_.Creationtime -gt (date).addMinutes(-15) -AND $_.Length -gt 5Kb} |
      Format-Table -Auto |
      Out-String |
      Out-file c:\test\maybe.txt
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Adobe File Window repeatedly opens on boot-up of PC ??!!!?!

Hi, I've checked all the posts and don't see this anywhere
else so here goes.
I like what I see program-wise BUT, how do I stop the Adobe
file window opening each time I boot-up my PC?
This maybe small and insignificant to some but I am beginning
to find it pretty irritating.
I boot up and there it is, after usual system tray load-ups
etc up it pops. The open window displaying the contents of the
Adobe.com files.
I have checked the root and it states, correctly as far as I
can tell, C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat.com yep that's where it's
loaded, but why is it popping-up open on my Desktop open each time
I boot-up?
I have checked my preferences and find nothing to invoke
this, I am definitely sure it isn't open on the Desktop when I shut
down so how and why is this happening.
I have never seen this behaviour before with other programs
and can only assume it's something to do with the Beta version, and
an Adobe burning desire to keep reminding me that "I'm here!".
Before I uninstall completely (assuming that will cure this
narcisstic little annoyance), any suggestions would be most
welcome.
Thanks, Rob.

Hi Dean & Pete thanks for the reply, much appreciated.
You may well have identified an install problem when you
asked "did you upgrade to Reader 9 from an earlier version"
Yes I did, one of the reasons I was bothered by this
auto-launching of the Acrobat.com file window is because I had just
completed a total clean install of operating system (XP Pro) onto a
brand new hard drive and I have been very choosy about what I 'OK'
for start programs when loading or reloading all my software.
Adobe Reader version 7 was installed during me loading
Pinnacle Studio 9 Plus.
I was aware there were several upgrades to 7 and went along
to Adobe's site to download the very latest Reader version, this is
where I discovered Acrobat.com Beta
Maybe the problem is part of a leap-frog of several versions
and why that this happens?
Also, thanks to Dean for a workaround, makes sense and worth
doing if I couldn't solve the problem, as I really like the look of
what's developing with Acrobat.com
The great news is I have found a cure without uninstalling
anything.
What I did was go into my startups via System tools/System
information/Software environment/StartUp Programs and there is an
'updateMgr' for Adobe reader version 7 and Adobe Acrobat
Speedlauncher (Type: 'Global')
Due to the Windows system information appearing not to allow
me to change any of the settings, I have use a neat little freeware
program called System Explorer (
http://systemexplorer.mistergroup.org/
This has enabled me to easily disable the two Adobe startups
that seemed to be conflisting and causing the problem, and now
everything seems back to normal, with no Autolaunch of the
Acrobat.com file window and total use of Acrobat.com from my
desktop shortcut.
Hope this helps others!
Regards, Rob.

How remove embedded font from PDF

When I print to PDF on Mac OS 10.6.8 by default embed fonts to PDF-file. It add unnecessary bites to PDF-file (the file is huge size).
How to remove this option of fonts embedding? Or how remove embedded font from PDF file?

After opening dozens and dozens of linked files,I finally found the offending "empty line of text" in one of the AI files I placed in the INDD file. Open > Select All.... then check the font panel. With mixed fonts, it was empty, but if everything was the correct font, it was filled in. It was just one AI file.
I want to thank you all for your great ideas and for sharing your experience. Onward, now.

Adjust default 'open file' window

Hi, I am a MAC fanatic.... I work all day on my MAC 27" and am constantly opening files....
But how do I customise the 'open file' window. Every time I open a file I have to increase the size of the window, change the view and then look for my files.... is there a way to set the default view to what I would wish it to be?
I have enclosed a screen shot of the default open file window.... I would like a bigger window...... and be able to see 'list view' as opposed to icons each time.
All suggestions would be useful....
Thank you....

I don't know how to have the Open window resized by default. However, for the list view just click on the List button in the Open window toolbar:
Once you select the List view in the Open window it should be the default from then on.

How do I remove unwanted entries in the Profile Manager window?

Can anyone please explain how do you remove irrelevant entries in the Profile Manager dialog? Since I have both 4.0 and 3.6 installed,each with two profiles,I use to launch secondary profiles with the Profile Manager via a command line instead of a specific shortcut,and the dialog window always shows all four options,regardless of what path I enter : is it possible to clean up the dialog window,so that only the 4.0 profiles are displayed when entering the path to 4.0 profiles,and so on for 3.6,without actually risking to delete any profiles? BTW,4.0 profile folders are stored in a different directory than 3.6,and the 3.6 profiles were accessed with the Profile Manager window (no shortcuts to specific profiles at the time) before installing 4.0

The Profile Manager is for all versions of Firefox you have installed - every Profile that is listed in the '''profiles.ini''' file will appear there. The location of the Profile folders has no effect on what the Profile Manager dialog window shows. There is no way to set it up relative to one program installation.
Best thing to do is to have separate desktop shortcuts for each Profile / Firefox-version you want to use.

I have an iMac which I had loaded Parallels and Windows 7. I recently uninstalled both programs. How can I delete all related files? Is there a program that will find related files and delete them?

I have an iMac on which I had installed Parallels and Windows 7 so I could some of the creativity software I was used to. I recently uninstalled both Parallels and Windows. How can I clean up my hard drive by making sure stray files from those programs have all been deleted?

If you followed these steps to uninstall Parallels (you simply drag Parallels to the Trash), that's all. Parallels is a quite clean application that does not create a lot of files in different folders.
However, you may still have the virtual machines you created in Documents folder. If you want to remove them, open a Finder window, select Documents in the sidebar and remove the Parallels folder

How to remove the entries of the names of the previously read PDF files in order to not to leak privacy

Bear in mind that the files will ALSO be in Windows or Mac's recent document list, and even if they weren't, the files will still be around and available. If they are not available, then just the name may not be much of a security bit (unless the file is called my_secret_bid_for_ibm.pdf or some such).

How can I completely remove iTunes and all associated files/programs from my Windows PC?

How can I completely remove iTunes and all associated files/programs from my Windows PC?

iTunes, along with Quick Time, iCloud, Apple Software Update, Bonjour, Apple Mobile Device Support and Apple Application Support can all be removed from your PC by uninstalling them using 'Uninstall or change a program' in Control Panel. The only obvious thing that will be left behind is your iTunes library which remains untouched. If you want to remove that as well it's just a question of deleting it.
Hope that helps.

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).
