How to disable APP and change default program in registry

Dear all,
it is possible to disable all the app (that appears in the start screen) in Windows 8.1?
Our users are a little bit confused and we prefer to use the old program (example Windows Photo Viewer and not Photos APP).
Let me know if it is possible and how to do it.
If yes, where we can edit the registry key to make the default program Windows Photo Viewer? And other programs? We would like to set Windows Photo Viewer as default app on all our computer in domain. It is possibile to edit this setting in registry?
And not manual from GUI?
Our PC are in a domain.
Thank you,

Hi,
According to your description, you want to open the file without using metro app.
We don't need to disable all metro app.
You can use the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool to change the default programs associated with a file name extension.
1.Deploy your Windows image to a test computer.
2 Log into Windows and use Control Panel to configure your default application associations.
3.You can export the default application associations that you have configured to an XML file on a network share or USB drive. For example, at a command prompt type the following command:
Dism /Online /Export-DefaultAppAssociations:\\Server\Share\AppAssoc.xml
4.Use GP server to enable the following group policy to modify the default Associations on the client machine.
Computer Configuration>Administrative Templates>Windows Components>File explorer>Set a default associations configuration file.
Regarding how to export or Import Default Application Associations,please refer to the following article:

I brought iPad for my nephew logged in with my id and download iWork's which was free. Now as it was against my id I deleted the app and changed default I'd as his, now I try to install iWork's it is asking for payment though iWork's is free on this ipad.

That's because the free apps are already registered to your Apple ID. You can't use them with another Apple ID.

Script to override Group policy (Disable Addins and change default file type)

Hi there,
I am developing a solution for our customer that requires Office 2010 64-bit, which I have.
However my company's group policy, (I believe), keeps adding in a template manager for corporate documents, this template is 32-bit and is incompatible with my version of office. This means that everytime I open or close excel I get a warning of incompatibility.
This is irritating, as is the fact that the default new file type keeps switching back of xls, which causes me problems since my macro's need to create xlsx files, for the customer.
Now I believe that both of these are set by the group policy and while they a fine for most people, due to my unusual roll, it causes me irritations I would would rather avoid.
Since I know it will not be possible to change the group policy for the handful of people who are effected like this, I am looking for some help to, e.g. automatically run a script to adjust these settings on my local machine to make my life easier.
Thanks for your help,
Vincent.

Try using
Process Monitor for looking the key.
For example, you may set the required value through the group policy and see what windows registry keys are changed.

Hi Jim,

I bought Lr5 only because I got present - my new camera Cannon 70D and because my older Photoshop CS5.5 raw plugin does not recognize. cr2 files.
Many thanks for your help.

How can I check and change the size of photo or doc in iPhone or any other app

How can I check and change the size of photo or doc in iPhone or any other app

You would need software form a third party to have this option. The free software that comes with the 8600 doesn't have an option for that. Vuescan is the only software I could find that says it works with your pritner and has a descreen option. You have to purchase it, but it will give you more advanced options than the software that came with the printer.

How to disable App tabs (pined tabs) from being started automatically?

how to disable App tabs (pined tabs) from being started automatically?
because the option [Don't load tabs until selected] dose not work with it, and it keeps starting every time when I restart Firefox.
Please help me!

Don't bother, I reached to the solution by my self, you can do it as following:
Type "about:config" [ without quotation marks! ] in the Location Bar (address bar) and press Enter to display the list of preferences, as shown in the picture '''#1''' in Firefox 17 on Windows 7.
If you see a page with the warning message as shown in picture '''#2''', This might void your warranty!, click the button labeled "I'll be careful, I promise!", to continue (in fact, there is no warranty whatsoever, it's more a joke to ensure that users are aware of what they are about to do). uncheck the check-box there to avoid the warning in the future.
Now at the search bar in the picture '''#3''' type: ''tab'' and look for the
'''preference name:'''
browser.sessionstore.restore_pinned_tabs_on_demand
or you can '''copy''' it directly to the search bar,
'''Next,''' follow the instruction in picture '''#3''' .
Just in case if the pictures didn't appear, do ''these steps'':
'''First:''' Right click at the preference name that we searched for.
'''Next,''' click Toggle to change the value from false to true.
'''Or,''' double click on it and it will change.
'''Finally,''' restart Firefox and you will notice that they don't load automatically until you click on it.
That's it, Good luck to all. ''';-)'''
'''Note''': The bolded font preferences list is the user modified, and the un-bolded is the default setting.
'''Warning''': Modifying preferences can, in rare circumstances, break Firefox, Thunderbird or the Mozilla Suite, or can cause strange behavior. Only do so if you know what you are doing or are following trustworthy advice.
Additional INFO:
about:config is a feature of Mozilla applications which lists application settings (known as preferences) that are read from the profile files prefs.js and user.js, and from application defaults. Many of these preferences are not present in the Options or Preferences dialog. Using about:config is one of several methods of modifying preferences and adding other "hidden" ones.

Control-k key binding broken. How can I check and change my key bindings?

I use the Terminal app a lot. Unfortunately I am not able to use the control-k shortcut to cut lines in the terminal anymore. How can I check (and change) the Terminal key bindings?
Thank you!

Basing on your input, you should get the following values:
1) session keys
SK_ENC: 6DCE2A99BACB5207A7A96A92F114D66C
SK_MAC: 0D446132B168F75CD6F0A780693A4DD3
SK_DEK: 19F7B0F94837F32874B29B5EFB7809F6
2) host cryptogram
1B781553209748EA
3) Retail MAC
01761103B810F00E
Summing up, the External Authenticate command should have the following value: 84 82 01 00 10 1B781553209748EA 01761103B810F00E.
Try to compare it with your results.

How to disable App Caching in 10.9

Hi All,
As much as I think that the new memory management system in OS X 10.9 is a very nice idea, it really doesn't work for me because I have Virtual Machines stopping and starting and the despite the fact that they are only trying to pull 512MB each, the system just can't handle pushing that much to them.
Is there a way to disable this app/file caching and get back to something more to the style of the old memory management system - I really want to have FREE memory available for when I actually need it - I really don't care if free memory is wasted memory, free memory is what works for me
I have a Mid 2009 13" MBP with a 2.2Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 8GB of RAM
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I can't bear my system grinding to a halt with several servers running in the background - the sort of thing that it could handle just fine under 10.8 - also, downgrading is not an option for me!

Unfortunately, no - App Nap only applies to running applications, and saving processing power and thus energy, whereas the app preloading is all about being clever about which files are in use and keeping as many as possible crammed into the memory.
However, disabling app nap is a useful thing to know, thanks!

I'v just installed creative cloud 64 bit windows. How can I make bridge the default program to upload pictures rather than lightroom?

I've just installed creative cloud 64 bit windows. How can I make bridge the default program to upload pictures rather than lightroom?

Usually the default program associated with an image file extension is an image developing Program like Lightroom or an image editing program like Photoshop. If you want to change the default associated program to Adobe Bridge you would use Window's Controls Panel file association applet.

Right-click on that saved image's thumbnail in Windows to bring up a menu.
Select "Open with..." and from that "Choose default program"
A box will open up with a list of Programs to choose from. Photoshop CS6 64 bit should be in that list.
Make sure "Always use the selected program to open this type of file" is checked.
If you do not see it in the list, click the Browse button in this box and it will show folders in the Program Files directory. Double click "Adobe" then Photoshop CS6 (64-bit), then select Photoshop.exe and click "Open". It should add it to the list.
Click OK and when you double-click on your saved file, it should open in Photoshop.
Let me know if that worked for you or if you have other questions.
