How to change a Microsoft login to a Windows login?

So, yesterday, I was turning on Skype on my laptop when it told me that I cannot use Skype anymore and I have to download some other version. I pressed OK and downloaded the desktop version of Skype. Then, it told me that the Microsoft Account has been selected as a user and administrator. I didn't understand it too much. Then, when I closed my laptop and today opened it, I found out that my user has been renamed to my Microsoft Account name and the password is the same as on my Microsoft account. I do not want that, because it is not comfortable for me, because I didn't have a password on my original user. I tried everything to turn it off, deleting Microsoft Account, disabling password through Run: netplwiz , but nothing. Please have an answer for me as soon as possible on how to remove the Microsoft Account login from my lock screen and put my original account login in there (that is not a Microsoft Account).Thank you,Thomas_Ber

How to change default texts in OSX dialogue windows?

I'd like to change some of the texts that appear in the OSX dialogue boxes.
One example: I have set my Mac up to ask for the password after N minutes of sleep. I would like to change the text in the box/window that appears when the Mac is woken up and where you are told to submit your ID and password (I'm sorry that I am not sure what exactly it says in English because I'm using another language).
The closest thing to what I need I have come across is this:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow LoginwindowText 'Hands off'
However, this applies only to the first login window you see after you have started the computer. I'd like to change other default texts as well.
The default texts in different languages must be stored somewhere. How do I find them and how do I chage them? Any advice would be appreciated.

It seems like the same problem as would be faced by someone localizing the OS, so perhaps there would be something useful here:

How to change the local decimal separator on windows xp OS ?

Hi all,
I would like to known how to change programmatically with LV8.5 the local decimal separator ? I want to force this parameter to the point separator, so to be sure that it's not the comma (if it's the comma when installing the executable, the ascii files are not read properly).
Thanks.
Wilfried.

Hi Wilfried,
you can use the format code "%.;" to get points as decimal separator in each string formatting function.
This is the important one. Put it at the beginning of every format specifier!
Some functions have a boolean control 'use local decimator' make sure this is 'F'

How to change the font in query builder window in Reports 6i?

Hi
I am facing the old problem again and again, which is I can not find any way to change the font in query builder window in Reports 6i. The current font is so bad for alignment and ordering each part of SELECT statement. Is there any way to change this to COURIER NEW for example?

No, but I suggest using a different editor which does allow a different text option and just pasting it in.

How to change the root domain name in window 2012 server

Got a window 2012 server build up. My root domain name looks something like corp.marketing Well I seems to have missed to add the last .com or .local. How do I add the .com to my existing root domain name please. The server is new, will
go online in few days time. Thanks for all the help.

I have a similar question and not sure if this is the right place. I had set a server with corp.brighterworld.com but the install wizard anywhere access had me believe that microsoft's strongly preferred domain name prefix was remote.brighterworld.com so
I contacted GoDaddy and had it reissued as remote. but when I went to reconfigure for the new name. I had already set the server for being a CA, and in that process it issued like 4 or 5 certificates. So I had tried to rebuild the machine from scratch, but
the it didn't wipe everything, but rather saved previous state which left the old certificate stuff to be dealt with. Any hints or help out here for us having to learn this stuff the hard way?
Thanks,

How to automatic start Microsoft VDI Clients on Windows Embedded Standard 7

Greetings,
I'm deploy Microsoft VDI for my customer, I use HP Thin Clients with Windows Embedded Standard 7.
when we start the thin clients, we first open the thin client desktop, then open the RDP connetions, and input the ip address to access the virtual desktop.
I think it's very complex for the end users.
I want when we start the thin clients, it automatic connect to the VDI server, we just need to input the username and password to access the users' virtual desktops.
does anybody know how to set it, or if there are some clients tools ?
Thanks.
Frank@Hiweb 冯立超@瀚博资讯

Hi,
If you work with mstsc.exe (Microsoft Remote Connection client for Windows), you can simply pre-configure a customized connection and save it as a .RDP file. Then, users can open the connection
via double clicking the .RDP file.
In addition, you can create a startup script to run the .RDP file.
Thanks.

How to change size for pop-up history window

Hello!
I work with PoSH and like use shortcut F7 for access to history powershell commands. But it is very small for my purposes.
Are there way to change size (increase) this window?
Truly, Valery Tyurin

Hi Varlery,
I also haven't found a good methad, the explaination below is for your reference:
The command-line buffer retains the last 50 commands by default. You can increase or decrease that setting by editing the properties of the console window itself. Click on the window’s control box and select Properties. Change the size of the “Command History
buffer size” on the Options tab.
This command history is actually separate from Windows PowerShell itself. It’s maintained by the console-hosting application. Windows PowerShell isn’t even aware this exists.
Refer to:
Windows PowerShell: Those Who Forget History
If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.
Best Regards,
Anna Wang

How to Change Finder Settings in All Windows?

Hi All,
Similar to the original post found here: Re: How to Change View Options for ALL Finder Windows?
I'm trying to change my finder settings across all finder windows... I tried the solution posted in the above thread but get this message in terminal. I'm not all that computer savvy when it comes to terminal so not sure what it means... Perhaps someone knows of a different and/or better solution?
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks and take care!
Dave

Yup got it back after waiting, followed the remaining directions, but didn't work for me... not sure why? Upon rebooting folders do not change after I readjust settings and click 'use as default'.... strange... I even tried that other line of code another person posted later on in the previous thread.

How to change the input language ?

Hello,
I am writing an Add-on that needs to change the input language when the user
clicks on the Item Code field ("5") in the "Item Master Data" form.
I can perform the change when I am out side of the SAP application (for example if I create a Windows Form), however I cannot control the input language of the SAP itself through code.
I even tried using Application.Sendkeys, however I was unable to send a combination of ALT+SHIFT, or at least it did not have any affect
Here is the code on how to change the input language on a Windows Form:
For Each Lng As system.Windows.Forms.InputLanguage In system.Windows.Forms.InputLanguage.InstalledInputLanguages
   sValue = Lng.Culture.DisplayName.ToUpper()
   If sValue.StartsWith("ENGLISH") Then
                    system.Windows.Forms.InputLanguage.CurrentInputLanguage = Lng
                    Exit For
    End If
Next
Any ideas ?

I am not sure I understand the problem. Anyway in B1 you change the language by
changing it from the Administration module. This raises a Application event that
is sent to all the add-ons. The event is aet_LanguageChanged and you should
then change the language handled by your add-on when you receive it.

How to change the web icon in the browser window

i have created my site and cant find how to change the icon in the browser window (like they have done at the top of this page with the Adobe icon before the Adobe Forums: text )would anyone be kind enough to give me some help??

Do you mean the favicon?
I only just recently learned about favicons myself - so if you google the word you'll get lots of resources for it. Bascially it's a little icon file that sits at the root directory of your site that the browsers find and display for you. As long as the file is there (*named favicon.ico*) it will show up automatically if I'm correct in what I've read.
Is this the thing you're looking for? (edit: it also shows up in your bookmarks list in firefox - if this is the one you want that's the favicon file)

Changing Fan Speed On iMac via Windows?

Well I've been browsing a lot about how to change fan speed on iMac from windows. I use windows primarily for development and sometimes my computer can get pretty hot and my room can get really hot because of it. So if anyone could tell me how to do it, it would be extremely helpful. It would even be ok if it was low level assembly code. I just want to change the fan speed on windows and I can't find a program to do it. Thanks in advance.
Matt

Oh it's fine! I kind of wasn't extremely helpful because I have seen a lot of previous posts with not much results (they were a few years old though). Yea the only reason I do use windows is because of .Net framework development :\. I would like to switch to all java but I like XNA and Visual Studio. Mono ***** so I'm just waiting for something good. Anyways thanks for the help. And if any low level mac programmer see's this, please tell me how you could go about this!
I'm sure if someone had disassembled OS X they could figure out how to do it. (Not promoting this because I'm pretty sure it's illegal).

How to change the OraSSO login link in webcache/load balance

Hi
we have 10gAsR1 installed as a Portal instance. We have 6-server
load balancer => webcache as loadbalancer (listening port 80)
Wb ch1 and wb ch2 => webcache (listening port 7777)
portal1 and portal2 => Portal listening 7778
infra =>Infrastruture with repository Portal/Oracle SSO (listening 7777)
This set up is working fine for our intranet setup, now we need to open this for couple of external clients. Well initially we need to open on the load balancer server on port 80 for external team to access, it works fine when we make it publc access.
Now when we need to make it SSO (siteminder) enables, when users click on login link it first goes oracle sso then it internally redirects the page to site minder sso.
Well, I have noted that the sso server details are mentioned in global setting sso/oid details. Since we need to open this for external client we have to add a DNS entry for this so that we can allow its access over firewall..
Now I have made DNS name change at my infrserver level, now I need to update the change at the load balancer server (where wheb chache is running).
Any one know how to chang the URL at load balancer.
I am struck at this point please suggest how should i proceed..
Thanks,
