If you run your system as a non-administrator, then the other user's folders are locked.
If you then use Fast Switching, those folders are merely a mouse click (and password) away.

I re-downloaded my Photoshop recently and Adobe Bridge no longer displays my Nikon NEF files and Camera Raw will not open them.

I re-downloaded my Photoshop recently and Adobe Bridge no longer displays my Nikon NEF files and Camera Raw will not open them. I get a message saying that Camera Raw does not support my camera type but it always has in the past. The bridge no longer shows the picture view of my NEF files. These are Nikon NEF files from the Nikon 5100 DSLR camera. How do I fix this?

When you re-installed Photoshop, you also re-installed the version of Camera Raw which shipped with Photoshop - in other words you reverted to an older version of Camera Raw which does not support the D5100.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
The D5100 was first supported in Camera Raw version 6.4.
In Photoshop, click Help > Updates to update Camera Raw.

Back up all data.
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Is it possible to have cs5 Bridge open cs4 ai files actually in cs4 rather than opening them in cs5

I recently upgraded from mac cs4 to cs5.5. Due to a bug? with cs5 ai illustrator 'Pixel Preview' won't show 1 bit tiff files as it did in cs4 (the workaround is time consuming/wasting). This is a problem for me as most of my files contain them, GGrrrr. Is it possible to have cs5 Bridge open cs4 ai files actually in cs4 rather than opening them in cs5?

Is it possible to have cs5 Bridge open cs4 ai files actually in cs4 rather than opening them in cs5?
Yes, either set the file type association in Bridge prefs for 'ai' at CS4. But it seems somewhat difficult when having newer versions, sometimes whatever pref settings in Bridge or Finder/get info/ open with/you try it keeps opening in the latest version.
In that case either drag and drop the files on the CS4 icon in the dock or with right click mouse menu choose open with and select illustrator CS4.
Although you can only have one version of Bridge open at the time you can have the other suite applications from different version open at the same time.

How can "multiple folders/files" be deleted in ONE PSEXEC COMMAND LINE

I can delete remote folders/files via bat command with psexec (below) but;
It takes a little time because of the 9 different folders. Maybe, looping of txt file can be used for different folders.
So how we can delete multiple folders in ONE PSEXEC COMMAND LINE?
Here my working code but it does its job in 9 steps :(
psexec \\%PC% cmd /c "for /d %%a in ("c:\Users\1*.*") do rd /s /q "%%a""
psexec \\%PC% cmd /c "for /d %%a in ("c:\Users\2*.*") do rd /s /q "%%a""
psexec \\%PC% cmd /c "for /d %%a in ("c:\Users\3*.*") do rd /s /q "%%a""
psexec \\%PC% cmd /c "for /d %%a in ("c:\Users\4*.*") do rd /s /q "%%a""
psexec \\%PC% cmd /c "for /d %%a in ("c:\Users\5*.*") do rd /s /q "%%a""
psexec \\%PC% cmd /c "for /d %%a in ("c:\Users\6*.*") do rd /s /q "%%a""
psexec \\%PC% cmd /c "for /d %%a in ("c:\Users\7*.*") do rd /s /q "%%a""
psexec \\%PC% cmd /c "for /d %%a in ("c:\Users\8*.*") do rd /s /q "%%a""
psexec \\%PC% cmd /c "for /d %%a in ("c:\Users\9*.*") do rd /s /q "%%a""

I think it is:psexec \\%PC% cmd /c "for /l %%n in (1;1;9) do for /d %%a in ("c:\Users\%%n*.*") do rd /s /q "%%a""

How to lock a file in solaris

Hi everyone,
Is there a way to lock a file in Solaris ?
Any input highly appreciated.
Tx
Kaushalya

Of course. There is even a class for it. However, be forewarned, locks only work when everything "plays nice". If one program locks it, and another program doesn't bother to attempt locking it before doing something with it, it will be able to "pull the carpet out from under" the locking process.
If you mean "lock" in the "Windoof" sense (in that absolutely nothing can do absolutely anything with a file when something else has it locked), no.

Is there a way to lock a file so that users can NOT open while Testing?

Hello World:
I'm sure there is a way but I can not think of a good solution right now.
I'm writing to a file.csv every 2 seconds for about 10 hours or more.
If a user opens the file to view, then my program in Labview will crash
because is being used.
How would you solve this problem?
thank you very much...for your help...

Look up the function to Get and Set File permissions. This will allow you to lock the file when you start and unlock it when your finished. =o)
Here's the sample from the help file:
The Set Permissions function includes a permissions input that allows you to control access to files and directories that you create. To define the permissions you want to set, you can wire the permissions output of the Get Permissions function to the permissions input of the Set Permissions function, or you can wire a constant or a control.
The 9 bits that the permissions parameter uses are divided into three sets: user, group, and others. Each set is divided into three permission categories: read, write, and execute. Read determines if members of a set can read a file or directory. Write determines if members of a set can write data to a file or directory. Execute determines if members of a set can execute the file. A 1 in the bit grants permission.
For example, the following illustration shows how to grant a user permission to read from, write to, and execute a file, and deny permission from the other two sets.
Octal format shortens each three-bit group within the parameter to a single octal value. (Windows) For example, to make a file read-only, enter the octal value 200, which corresponds to the binary representation 10000000. (Linux) To grant users read, write, and execute permissions, enter the octal value 700, which corresponds to the binary value 111000000.

How to view .shtml files locally? I have added "Open in Browser" but still not able to see the local .shtml file.

I have added Open in browser add ons in Firefox browser, but still not able to see the .shtml files on local machine.
Can any one please tell me how to view .shtml files in Firefox?

SHTML files are regular HTML files that make use of Server-Side Includes. In some server configurations, the special file extension is required to instruct the server to parse the file for SSI code.
If Firefox doesn't recognize the file type, it is likely the MIME type is incorrect.

I accidentally restored my iPhone 5 and lost all of my pictures and contacts. How can I get those back? My computer saved the .apalbum and .apmaster files, but I cannot seem to open them.

Hi!
I was trying to sync my music from my Macbook to my iPhone 5 and accidentally restored the phone to some previous version that I had. In the process, I managed to lose all of my pictures, contacts, text messages, etc. I need some of that back. My computer seems to have the .ap files, but I cannot open them. Is there any way to get my pictures back at the very least?
Thanks

The last backup I have is not recent enough to get my pictures back. Is there a way to get the pictures without using backup or iCloud?

How can I change data on my XLS files? I have tried to open them in Adobe reader but they can't be read!!!

Hi. I have problems changing the data on my XLS files.I tried Adobe reader but it can't open the files.What should I do??

XLS are Microsoft Excel spreadsheet files. You can use Microsoft Excel to open them... or any number of compatible applications (OpenOffice, Numbers, etc).

Corrupted .pst files due to mistakenly trying to open them with Adobe Reader

This is a second post re the same problem, as I previously got only one response (from B. Alheit), which asked me to identify my operating system. I am beyond desperate to get this problem fixed.
As described previously (S Giraffe - 11/14), I was about to apply an email recovery program to some .pst files when, somehow (late at night/tired), I inadvertently clicked "Open with Adobe Reader." Then the disaster! The Adobe Reader logo appeared on the .pst file's icon - and also on every other .pst file in my Documents folder. When I tried to open them I got the following error message:
"Adobe Reader could not open 'Outlook (_).pst' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged."
I went back to my exernal hard drive to again decompress the original backup files, but these, too, all had the Adobe Reader logo on their icons and brought the same error message. How could trying to open ONE .pst file with Adobe Reader have affected every other .pst file on my C drive and in my external hard drive???
I need to recover my emails and contacts! Can anyone tell me anything that would enable me to correct whatever Adobe Reader did to my .pst files and get them back to their former state. I would be immensely appreciative.

Adobe Reader didn't "do" anything to your PST file, but you probably changed the file association by leaving "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" checked.
What you need to do is to reset the file association from Adobe Reader, and change it e.g. to SCANPST.EXE
If you have a recent system restore point (before the file association changed), restore that save point. If not, you need to change it manually (either in the registry, or by opening the PST file with SCANPST.EXE, and again check "Always use the selected program...".

Why are my received file attachments (Office files such as .doc, .docx, .xlsx but also pdf files) corrupted - so that I cannot open them?

For the last month, 90% of the file attachments that I receive by email will not open on my MacBook Pro (2009, running Mac OS 10.7.5). I get assorted messages, but generally saying that the file is corrupt, or the filename contains unacceptable characters. The problem has been generally with Word files (.doc and .docx)], Excel files (.xls and .xlsx) and pdf files.
The bit that I don't understand is that I can open the same email attachments (without any problem) when downloaded on my iMac. And I have recently found that colleagues who received the same emails can open them, and can transfer the files to me (usually by USB stick) … and then I can open them. But I still cannot open the same files received as email attachments on my MacBook Pro.
Which makes me think that the files (email attachments) are somehow being corrupted as they are downloaded?
I installed the Mac OS X Update Combined 10.7.5 in July, so perhaps this was when the problem started? And, although it may be unrelated, around the same time as this problem started, I transferred some files from a colleague's computer on a USB stick and found that the USB stick had picked up a virus/malware, which meant that the stick was dead, and I had to reformat the stick. I scanned my computer (using ClamXav, with the latest updates) and quarantined a file found on the USB stick and on my computer.
Any thoughts on why this might happen, and what I can do to sort it out (as it is making work very difficult - I travel a lot, and rely on being able to open and read files sent from countries all over the world, often by people using old versions of Office software)? I have never had problems in the past, and can't understand why my other computer, and my colleagues, can all open these files, but my laptop will not! Many thanks for any help!

Why do eps files change in size when I open them in AI cc

I have a customer that often submits epss. When I open them in Illustrator CC it always opens them as 8.5 by 11 instead of 3.75 by 2.25 size they should be. If I use preview to open them they are the correct size. Does any one know why this might be?

See my other answer above.
No, Adobe has not updated EPS (or postscript anyway) since the last century.
A PDF includes allways trim, bleed, media and object boxes, EPS does not. If you get such information when you open an Illustrator EPS than it is because it contains an AI part in its file which is responsible for everything Illustrator or PDF like.
Here are some threads why to avoid PostScript:
Re: Print To PDF(What is said about PostScript is valid for EPS too.)
Re: Issues with trapping a postscript file out of Indesign
And many other.
Best is not to use PostScript anymore.

W7+NETWORK+SYNCHRONIZED FOLDER with PDF files in it. Impossible to open them with Adobe

When I try to open a PDF file in a synchronized folder of my PC (running Windows 7)
this error apperars " Can´t open file. File not found"
I´ve tried several Adobe reader versions with identical result.
If I try to open a PDF in any other network folder that is not synchronized, it works fine.
If I try with another PDF reader as sumatra or foxit it works.
This error happens wether I am connected to the network or not.
I need to open them with Adobe reader.

What are .mkv files?? What app to open them?

just found some and can't open them with anything...

These are a multimedia container file. The container can hold audio, video, fotos, etc. Probably the easiest thing is to download VLC to playback these files on your Mac.
