How to hide desktop in finder?

When I go to an app, I don't want to see the finder in the bg. is that possible?

Two reasons, I would still see the file folders and
hard drive.
I keep my hard drive in the dock. And I keep all my files and folders in appropriate places in my home directory, not on the desktop, so there are no icons on my desktop at all.
and I want a bg photo when I do go to the
finder.
I don't think there is any way to do what you want to do (show a background image only when the Finder is the active application)

  • How to hide devices on Find My phone with Family Sharing?

    So we have ios8 family sharing activated. My kids have their own Apple ID's so when they log in to icloud.com and go to Find My Iphone, all our devices show up there so any person in our family can see them and also Erase data from a device. I really did not want my kids to have the ability to log in and Erase/Wipe my device since they can see it. Is there some option so that parents of the Family Share can either hide devices from appearing on their kids Find My Iphone screen, OR turn off the ability for kids to Wipe device data from Find My Iphone?

    I could be mistaken, but even though it shows up for them, they would still need your AppleID and password to erase the phone.

  • How to hide one field in report [discoverer desktop ]

    i am using rownum column in cross tab(discoverer) report to avoiding group by data in the report.
    Now how to hide the ROWNUM Column in the report.
    plz reply me.

    Hi
    To add to what Rod and Russ have said, the white on white option actually has real uses and not just for suppressing a sorted item. It is a most useful technique that I use a lot to hide the intermediate row-level results of analytic functions, while just displaying a grand total. It looks cool too. If I find some time I'll make a posting on my blog although it probably won't be until next year - oh yeah that's only two weeks away isn't it?

    Hi everyone,
    I'd like to hide a network drive from my Finder sidebar.

  • How do i remove the finder window from my start up desktop window.

    How do i remove the finder window from my start up desktop.

    Are you saying that when you log in, there are finder windows open before you even do anything? If so, that's because last time you logged out you left them open. Next time close all your finder windows before you log out and you should be good.

  • How to hide dynamic parameters values in the URL with Reports 6i

    Hi,
    I want to know a way of hiding the parameters values when asking for a report through the web.
    Now I'm using the Reports 3.0.5.8 with a Cartridge defined in the Oracle Web Application Server 3.0.1.0.1. When you ask for a report with the parameters DESTYPE = cache and DESFORMAT = pdf, it is fully generated and in the Address or Location box of the browser, you can see http://webserver/cache/report.pdf (where cache is the virtual directory defined in the OWAS in which the .pdfs are cached). So, users cant see the Url used to generate the report.
    Im trying to upgrade this configuration to Reports 6i with Cgi in a web server. I generate reports with no problems. The problem I have is I cant find how to hide the parameters values as before. I mean, when I ask for a report, once its generated I can see http://webserver/cgi-bin/rwcgi60.exe?server=ServerName&report=report.rdf&userid=user/pass@connection&destype=cache&desformat=pdf&P1=value1&P2=value2 in the Location box. It allows user to ask for another report changing the values of the parameters. I use these parameters to execute some query written in the Data Model. For example, imagine that the P1 represents the company id, the user (that is supposed to see only data of its company) can change this id, ask for a new report and see data of another company.
    Ive already tried to use the key mapping option, but its not useful to me because the parameters values are dynamic and its impossible to define different entries in the cgicmd.dat for each possible value. The option of loading the parameter form before running a report is not useful to me either, because there exists specific screens for this purpose.
    Is there any solution?
    Thank you.

    Hi Rakesh,

    I just found that the option called "Show Toolbar When Running" is located under VI Properties > Windows Appearance > Customize. I disabled it and it worked. Thanks!
    So, the option I mentioned is still available, but only at a different place.
    I was shocked on seeing your earlier reply, "There is no such option in LabVIEW 9.0 or higher.".

    Hi,
    First you need to figure out where the button is being dynamically generated. Then you can use the enhancement framework to hide the button (Change the visibility of the button) once it is generated. The enhancement framework allows you to add code at certain positions within the application. You will have to find a point after the  button is generated.
    Hope this helps

  • How to hide or do not show the receipt's name after miss called?

    1. How to hide or do not show the receipt's name after miss called?
    2. I do not want to show my message statement in the screen.

    I have also registered to this forum to inform that the problem with showing the MAC-address in the sidebar of the finder is still not solved.
    The strange thing is that the Embedded Web Server says:
    "This specifies the Bonjour domain name assigned to the device, in the form <host name>.local. If a user-specified host name has not been assigned, the default host name HPxxxxxx is used, where xxxxxx are the last 6 digits of the LAN hardware (MAC) address. This option cannot be modified."
    But I did assign a user-specified host name and that name does show-up everywere (also within Bonjour), except in the sidebar of the finder (hp###xx##x####). Lots of people have the same issue, when searching on the interet, but not one has found the solution.
    Please help with solving this issues?

  • How to hide a hard drive

    Does anyone know if there's a way to not have a hard drive show up on the desktop? In my case, the Time Machine backup drive sits there. But I really don't need to access it. I'd like to simply hide from view.

    you can add a period to the front of the hard drive's name. this will hide it from Finder and hence from desktop. it will still be available from the sidebar. You can't do it directly from finder because it won't let you but you can do it using Apple script.
    paste the following into Script Editor
    <pre style="
    font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
    font-size: 10px;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 5px;
    border: 1px solid #000000;
    width: 720px;
    color: #000000;
    background-color: #ADD8E6;
    overflow: auto;"
    title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
    tell application "Finder"
    set name of disk "current drive name" to ".current drive name"
    quit
    delay 1
    launch
    end tell</pre>
    Put the name of the drive instead "current drive name" in the script. keep the quotes. press "run".

  • How to hide items on Windows 8 File Explorer Ribbon

    Scenario
    This article describes how to hide items on the file explorer ribbon in Windows 8 and Windows 8.1.
    Method
    We can implement it via customizing the permission of the related registry keys.
    Note: Before you make changes to a registry key or subkey, we recommend that you export, or make a backup copy, of the key or subkey.
    Before you make changes to a registry key or subkey, we recommend that you
    export, or make a backup copy, of the key or subkey.
    Step 1:
    Open
    Registry Editor and locate to following registry key under which you can find the corresponding keys of the items on the File Explorer Ribbon.
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CommandStore\shell\
    In the following figure, it shows the Add a network location item on the file explorer ribbon, and the corresponding
    registry key in Registry Editor.
    Step 2:
    Take ownership of the registry key
    Note: You can take ownership
    of a registry key if you are logged on as an administrator or if you have been specifically assigned the permission to take ownership of the registry key by the current owner.
    Right-click on the registry key which you want to take ownership of,
    and then select
    Permissions... option.
    Click on
    Advanced button to grant special permissions in the key.
    At the top to the right of the current
    Owner, click on the Change link.
    Enter
    Administrator in the Enter the object name to select
    box, and then click on Check Names.
    Click on
    OK twice to apply.
    Step 3:
    Change the permission of the registry key.
    On
    Permissions for the key name display dialog, click
    Administrators in the Group or user names window, and then select the
    Allow check box for
    Full Control
    option.
    Click
    Users in the Group or user names window, and then select the
    Deny
    check box for
    Full Control
    option.
    Step 4:
    Click on
    Apply and OK to save the changes and the following figure shows the modified permissions and owner.
    Step 5:
    When you open File Explorer, the item you would like to hide disappears. For your information, the following is an example:
    Item: Add a network location
    Corresponding Registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CommandStore\shell\Windows.AddNetworkLocation
    For advanced users
    You can also deploy script with Set-Acl which is a PowerShell command to take ownership and change permissions
    of the keys. For your information, please refer to the following articles to learn more about this command:
    Set-Aclhttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh849810.aspx

    The reason they gave was it is possible for the file to stay open when done with the file. (not properly closing) As the driver would be accessing the file to retrieve the thumbnail.
    The thing is a driver is nothing more than a program it self. Therefore it is capable of opening and closing a file and placing the thumbnail into the database for that folder. It then would be capable to verify if the thumbnail exists in that database. Since the driver only has to run when explorer is open in that folder's view, it really is not running that often.
    The catch I can see it when both Illustrator and explorer are running at the same time. Which one should close the file? The solution would be a small app that verifies that both programs are running and has control of clean up when both have closed. The driver and Illustrator could also in theory check and see if the other is running, if it is do nothing if not then close the file.
    So it really boils down to having the driver and Illustrator talking to each other.

  • How to hide the select-options fields on radiobutton select in webdynpro

    hi
    Could you please help how to hide the select-option fields in webdynpro
    there are four radio buttons
    for every radiobutton there is corresponding the select_option filed is associated to it
    user as only provision select  one radio button and reset of the select-option fileds should be hidden
    which ever the radio button is selected corresponding the select-options fileld should be displayed
    please find the attachement below

    Hi Nine,
    To hide select options you should use interface method REMOVE_SELECTION_SCREEN_ITEM of IF_WD_SELECT_OPTIONS.
    Sample code :
    Write the below code in the Event handler of Radio Button.
    DATA lv_r_helper_class TYPE REF TO if_wd_select_options.
    lv_r_helper_class = lo_interfacecontroller->init_selection_screen(
    lv_r_helper_Class->REMOVE_SELECTION_SCREEN_ITEM(exporting i_id = 'Select_option1_id1').
    This will hide first select option of your screen.Similarly pass select_option_id2 to hide it and so on.
