How to burn CD for PC user minus the Mac OS X .ds_ invisibles?

Does anyone know how to burn a CD so that it doesn't include all the Mac OS X invisible files? If I pop a CD into my PB and drag the files/folders onto it and burn the CD (from the Finder), the PC users inevitably whine about all the .ds_store and .ds_somefile junk that goes along with the files. I've used a utility called DS_Store Cleaner to strip out the .ds_store files, but it doesn't strip out the .ds_somefile detritus.
Any ideas how to burn PC friendly CDs? Thanks.

I wondered if one could seek out and delete the invisibles before burning the CD by using the CMD-F search feature (as you might delete normal files from the hard disk within a search results window). That's what I was reporting back on.
You can, but OS X will create a new one almost immediately. Since part of the function of the .DS_Store file is to hold the size, position and listing option for a folder window, it has to be there. Even just to be a placeholder for a default window. They're like bunnies. They multiply too quickly to eradicate.
but I don't think OS9 left as many invisible files floating around.
There's certainly more invisible files overall in Unix, but per folder, they're not much different. OS X uses .DS_Store files, OS 9 used FINDER.DAT. One for each and every folder with either OS.
Believe me, my life would be far simpler and more enjoyable if every one of my acquaintances would just use a Mac.
Say, "Amen"!
I just spent one hour (!!!) on the phone with the guy I burned the CD for explaining how to move the Word and Excel file onto his desktop so he could update them.
Ick! These are the same people who when you say, "Click on the file...", they immediately ask, "With the left or right button?".

HT1660 how can I use one single library for all users on the same laptop?

how can I use one single library for all users on the same laptop?

You are most of the way there. Each user having access to hard drive is the key. If users are limited in file privileges this is harder.
Any files you add to your library and any files she adds to her library are available to the other. Just not automatically. Each user must add the files to their own library using the add file or add folder option from menu bar.
What I have done is set library location to a location outside of My Documents\My Music. On my network storage I have a folder names s:\itunes. Both accounts iTunes are set to use this location for the library.

How do I customize firefox for multiple users on the same device?

Sometimes my wife uses my computer to surf the web. I'd like to have it set up so she can have her bookmarks, etc. when she's using it and I can have mine when I'm using it. Is this possible? If so how do I do it?

hello arack, the easiest way would be to create different user accounts for you both on the mac on the level of the operating system: [[How do I share Firefox between people on a computer?]]
or you could use the firefox profile manager to create separate profiles: [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]]

You may have to log in as the Administrator user rather than
"run as adminstrator".
Beyond that, are there really enough users on a system that
they can't install the extension(s) they need themselves?

How to get Reports for specific User that how many password has been reset using FIM SSPR in FIM 2010 R2 SSPR

Hi,
How to get Reports for specific User that how many password has been reset using FIM SSPR in FIM 2010 R2 SSPR
Regards
Anil Kumar

Hello there Anil,
A simple way to quickly get a overview is to look at the request history within the portal environment (note that this will expire in a few day based on your environment, after that you would need to FIM Reporting Module - but you could increase this to
maybe 60 days to so, watch the DB size).
To do this you could create some custom search scopes of do some custom queries. The creator of the SSPR activities always has the same GUID so you can use that so search.
In your search scope you can use the following XPath to play with.
- All Password Reset Requests - /Request[Creator='b0b36673-d43b-4cfa-a7a2-aff14fd90522' and Operation='Put']
- All Completed Password Reset Requests - /Request[Creator='b0b36673-d43b-4cfa-a7a2-aff14fd90522' and RequestStatus=‘Completed']
You can play with the "RequestStatus".
Hope this helps.

Hi Arti,
In cProjects the authorizations can be managed either by authorization profile administration by system administrator for General authorizations or by Project specific authorizations for individual cProjects elements by Project owner.
Try the first one and I hope you will get the solution.

You do not have sufficient privileges to complete this installation for all users of the machine. Log on as administrator and then retry this installation

Hi all
Have seen a couple threads regarding this but unfortunately nothing that solves my problem thus far!
Right now, our developers are using the Domain Admin account to promote their website code using MSI files. I'd like to change this as I feel the Domain Admin account should be on lock down and only used when absolutely necessary, pretty common. The
same goes for my account too, I would like to absolve as much use of the Domain Admin as I can.
Problem is, when they run installers from their own accounts, they receive this error: You do not have sufficient privileges
to complete this installation for all users of the machine. Log on as administrator and then retry this installation
The accounts they are using are part of the Built In Administrators group and the Domain Admins group... I'm not sure what other permission you'd need in a domain? We've gone as far as explicitly giving them local admin access on this server and still
nothing changes.
Is there a Group Policy or something that I can change to provide install rights and possibly remove these accounts as Domain Admin and more along the line of Power User?
Thanks much for your help!
Ryan

Hi,
You could use Software Restriction Policies (SRP’s) or Applocker(supported on Windows server 2008 R2/Windows 7 only) to restrict the running
