How to Hide main user's files in useraccount's finder navigation?

Ok So you're the main user of the computer.
YOu make an account for someone to use.
I made it simple finder.
with access to Safari and Text edit.
In my account i have files and folders all around the computer in the MAC HD folder and stuff, in the DOcuments folder etc.
I know i can make a Locked folder and put all those folders and files and that will hide them.
However i dont want to do that. I want to leave my files and folders where they are.
So the solution would be that Whenever the user does an OPEN or SAVE file using Text Edit or Safari, that he only gets access to the SHARED folder.
How do i do this?
How do i make it so that the user can't navigate and search around through all the finder folders when using the OPEN or SAVE features of TextEdit or Safari?

Your account has a home folder with a desktop, Documents, Library, etc. Other users cannot access those folders. This is true whether accessed through the Finder, TextEdit, Safari, whatever and also true for simple or full Finder. Anything you want to keep private should be kept within your home tree. When you create a new account, it creates a unique, separate set of folders for that user.

How can my main user access files of sharing only user?

I use network MFD to scan files into shared folders through Samba. Works perfectly fine on Windows: scanner uses its own limited account to access shared folder and store files, but Windows admin user is the owner of this folder and of all of the PDFs in it.
I wanted to setup same system under Mac OS X 10.9.4. I created sharing only user "scanner" for my network MFD to access shared "Scan" folder on my MacBook Air through Samba. I shared this "Scan" folder for both my main MacBook user and "scanner" user with read/write permissions. Now if my network scanner logs on to the shared folder with username/password of my main user (and I consider this insecure and wrong) - everything works fine. But if network scanner uses its special "scanner" account, it creates file which I can't open later with my main MacBook user ("scanner" is the owner of this file, and "main" doesn't have permission even to read the file).
Looks like newly created files in shared folder don't inherit permissions of the folder.
Is there a way to force my main MacBook account to be owner of all files created by "scanner" account (at least in one folder used for scan results)?

Create a “scannergroup” group in Users & Groups. It’s the same process as for a user, but change the type to Group. Add all of your real users and your scanner user to the group.
Open Terminal and copy/paste this command into the terminal window. If you want to use different names for the Group or the folder, edit the line in a text editor, then copy/paste it into Terminal.
sudo chmod -R +a "scannergroup allow delete,chown,list,search,add_file,add_subdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directory_inherit" /Users/Shared/Scan
To change the group name in the command, change scannergroup to whatever you create in Users & Groups.
To change the folder, change the full path as shown by /Users/Shared/Scan
That command creates an Access Control List entry that allows each member of the scannergroup to read/write/delete/ items created by others in the group.

Question on how to Hide the User Name, Password, and Domain fields in the MDT Wizard

MDT 2012 U1
Deploying Windows 7 via Offline Media (ISO) to MS Virtual PC's
I am looking on how to Hide the User Name, Password, and Domain fields which are prepopulated in the MDT wizard via the CS.ini (Not so concerned about the Domain field as I am User Name and Password)
We do need the Computer Name and OU fields to be seen, so skipping the wizard is not a option
The client just does not want these fields to be seen by the end users, they dont want them to even know the account name used for adding the machine to the domain, of course the password is not displayed but it must not be displayed either.
But since we use the fields they must still be fuctional just not seen.
Thanks.....
If this post is helpful please click "Mark for answer", thanks! Kind regards

You shouldn't have to edit DeployWiz_Definition_ENU.xml. You should only need to add "SkipAdminPassword=YES" to the CS.ini file and your authentication information.
Example:
[Settings]
Priority=Default
Properties=MyCustomProperty
[Default]
OSInstall=Y
SkipCapture=NO
SkipAdminPassword=YES
UserID=<MyUserID>
UserPassword=<MyPassword>
UserDomain=<MyDomain.com>
SkipProductKey=NO
SkipComputerBackup=YES
SkipBitLocker=NO
-Nick O.
Nick,
SkipAdminPassword=YES is for:
You can skip the Administrator Password wizard page by using this property in the
customsettings.ini.
I am hidding the Username/Password/and domain field in the computer name Wizard pane which is read from the cs.iniDomainAdmin=xxxxx
DomainAdminPassword=xxxxx
DomainAdminDomain=xxxxxx
JoinDomain=xxxxxx

How to hide main window in JavaFX 2.0

I want to hide application window in JavaFX 2.0, calling hide() on Stage object terminate application. How to hide main window and left application running?
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.scene.Group;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.layout.BorderPane;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class SysTray extends Application {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          Application.launch(SysTray.class, args);
     @Override
     public void start(final Stage s) throws Exception {
          Group rootGroup=new Group();
          Scene scene=new Scene(rootGroup, 800, 600);
          s.setScene(scene);
          Button hide=new Button("hide");
          hide.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
               @Override
               public void handle(ActionEvent paramT) {
                    s.hide();
          BorderPane mainPane=new BorderPane();
          mainPane.setCenter(hide);
          scene.setRoot(mainPane);
          s.setVisible(true);
}

That's interesting. I just checked and it looks like http://download.oracle.com/javafx/2.0/api/javafx/stage/Stage.html#close%28%29 is also an alias for setVisible(false);
A little weird that they would have two aliases for such a thing. I'm guessing that setVisible isn't supposed to end the application, but what with JavaFX still being in Beta, the given functionality is acting as a placeholder. Maybe you should check [url http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/]Jira to see if this is already an issue. If not, you should probably file it to make sure.

How to backup only users' relevant files from File History on Windows 8.1?

Hi,
I would like to find out how to backup certain user's files from File History on Windows 8.1?
I'm planning to store the backup files on our server, over a shared network, so that client can retrieve them whenever they need.
I manage to do one by excluding all the folders from c:\, but it occurs quite silly to me to go select one by one files to exclude them.
Please advise if there is a better way?

How to Hide a User?

I'm trying to create an admin user without having the account showing on the login screen.
I came across this article:
How to hide a user account in OS X - Apple Support
Which says to enter the following into the Terminal (when using Yosemite):
sudo dscl . create /Users/hiddenuser IsHidden 1
The problem is after doing this and rebooting the user account is still visible.
I'm using OS X v10.10.2, and yes I did replace the hiddenuser reference with the user's home directory name I'm trying to hide (the command completed with no errors shown)...
Anybody know how to do this, and why the article shown doesn't appear to work???

Reading from a file. How to ask the user for file name at run time????

I have the code to read from a file but my problem is how to prompt the user for the file name at run time.
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.util.InputMismatchException;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class FileRead {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        Scanner scan = null;
        File file = new File("Results.txt");
        String number;
        try {
            scan = new Scanner(file);
            while (scan.hasNext()){
            number = scan.next();
            System.out.println(number);}
        catch (FileNotFoundException ex1){
            System.out.println("No such file");
        catch (IllegalStateException ex2){
            System.out.println("Did you close the read by mistake");
        catch (InputMismatchException ex){
            System.out.println("File structure incorrect");
        finally{
            scan.close();}
}Any hints would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance

I have read through some of the tutorials that you have directed me too and they are very useful, thank you. however there are still a few things that i am not clear about. I am using net beans 5.0 I have placed a text file named Results.txt into the project at the root so the program can view it.
When I use the code that you provided me with, does it matter where the file is, or will it look through everywhere on the hard drive to find a match?
This code compiles but at run time it comes up with this error
run-single:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: NamedFile
Exception in thread "main"
Java Result: 1
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 3 seconds)
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.io.*;
class NamedFileInput
public static void main (String[] args) throws IOException
    int num, square;
    // this Scanner is used to read what the user enters
    Scanner user = new Scanner( System.in );
    String fileName;
    System.out.print("File Name: ");
    fileName = user.nextLine().trim();
    File file = new File( fileName );     // create a File object
    // this Scanner is used to read from the file
    Scanner scan = new Scanner( file );
    while( scan.hasNextInt() )   // is there more data to process?
      num = scan.nextInt();
      square = num * num ;
      System.out.println("The square of " + num + " is " + square);
}his is the code that i used. It is the same as the code you posted for me (on chapter 23 I/O using Scanner and PrintStream) Sorry im just really stuck on this!!

How to hide the jar/jad files

Hi,
When we give the url to jar/jad files to download basically we are giving away our code. Anybody can point their browser to the given url and download the jar file to their desktop, decompile the code and voila they have everything that we worked on for months.
Which is the best obfuscator available on the market to hide the code ? And also how can we restrict them to download via phone only and not be able to access jar file via the browser i.e even if I know the url I should not get the download window to get the jar file on my desktop ?
Thanks.

Which is the best obfuscator available on the market
to hide the code ? You migth want to try progaurd: http://proguard.sourceforge.net/ Works very well.
And also how can we restrict them
to download via phone only and not be able to access
jar file via the browser i.e even if I know the url
I should not get the download window to get the jar
file on my desktop ?That is almost impossible, since you can never know if a phone or something else is talking to your webserver. Phones signatures can easyly be faked.
