How to permanently deactivate re-opening of recent documents

How can I effectively avoid that re-started applications automatically re-open recent documents?
How can I effectively inhibit Safari on restart opening automatically a recently open company database access and popping a semi-transparent login panel above, but showing already the recent secret content?
This automatism is not only annoying but also raises privacy/security issues. So, how can I deactivate this at all.

This is not the Lions General System Preference panel, is it?
Mine is looking like this:
Inverted logic to yours. Restore... is unchecked. Nonetheless, re-opening is not effectively deactivated. For ecxample when I reboot the Mac with a lot of Applications + Documents open, and when I start the one or the other application then it comes up with the recently opened document. Even Terminal shows me the whole recent contents of a ssh session to a database server.
In the "Do you really want to Restart? Are yor 1000 % sure?" box, re-opening apps is deactivated.
On a travel, visiting customers, Keynote at customer B, automatically came up with a presentation for the customer A (competitor of B). This was very embarrassing and this is inacceptable.

    Hello.
    I have no idea and you should contact Microsoft for support. This is Firefox's support forum.
    Thank you for your understanding.

  • When I try to open a recent document I get the following message "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document."  I have downloaded version Pages version 5.2.2 and the app store confirms this, but my Pages About reports that I am using 4.3

    When I try to open a recent document I get the following message "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document."  I have downloaded version Pages version 5.2.2 and the app store confirms this (and won't let me download it again), but my Pages About reports that I am using 4.3

    Here is the solution that I received from the chat line.
    When you update applications like Pages it usually keeps both versions on the computer. So what most likely happened is it didn’t put the new version on your dock. So to fix this, open a finder window. And go into applications which should be listed on the left. Scroll down and you will see Pages listed in here. And the icon should look different. You can drag that icon down onto your dock.Open that and you then can access your documents

  • I just updated my MAC operating system and when I went to open a recent document in numbers, the document that opened had none of my data and was formatted differently.  Can I get my document with all my information back?

    I just updated my MAC operating system and when I went to open a recent document in numbers, the document that opened had none of my data and was formatted differently.  Can I get my document with all my information back?

    I suggest the easy stuff first:
    1) quite Numbers and restart Numbers
    2) reboot the computer
    After that try opening the same document in another user space

  • How to get Safari to open an HTML document created in AIR on iOS

    We have an iOS app that creates a 3-page HTML document on the user's device and then prints it. We were using Darkredz ANE to do this, but the ANE is broken in iOS 8 and the Darkredz website is abandoned.
    As a workaround, we want to use Safari to launch the HTML document, then print from Safari. But Safari won't open a local document that belongs to another app, probably because of the security sandbox. We don't have a network connection, so we can't save the file remotely. Is there a way to get Safari to open a local document?
    If not, does anyone know of a FileManager app that can open files that are located in the "documents" folder of other apps on the device? I've tried several of them, but so far, they only load files from iCloud, Box, etc.
    Thanks for any tips.

    Sorry I didnt think about it needing to print as 3 separate pages at specific points. If you can't get the HTML printing to work then you could keep could this thought in mind. If the height of the, I presume, HTMLLoader object is the right value, you can draw the white-space of the page into the BitmapData and then it might still print at the right location. If it doesn't work immediately and you felt like putting in a little more effort, you might be able to tweak the height of the HTMLLoader objects so that each one represents a single page. Granted this approach would likely only work for one paper size format, such as 8.5x11. Sorry I don't have any easier ideas that work with what you already have done so far

  • How do I disable an app's recent documents?

    When I secondary click an app in my Dock, it brings up a menu with a list of recently opened documents. How do I disable this so it doesn't display these?

    I don't even know what Versions is. I watched the Keynote when Lion came out, but I forgot. :/ I think it's like ⌘+Z, or undo. Is that correct?
    Anyway, I was working in Pages and some error about my volume not supporting Versions came up, and now the menu is empty.
    I guess it's fixed, but I'd like to know what happened and how to re-enable Versions but keep the icon menu turned off.

  • How to make navigation tools open with every document?

    Hi -
    I'm using Acrobat 8 Professional.
    Every time I open a document there are no tools at all showing.  The window shows the document and the title bar.  But I'd like to have more than that.
    I finally figured out using cmd-F to get some basic navigation tools (search, page number, I-beam, hand, etc).
    I would like this assortment of tools to open with every and any document I open.
    How do I accomplish this??
    TIA your input.
    JL

    With Voice Over, you highlight whatever you are trying to select and then double tap anywhere on the screen to select.
    So for your password of 1234 you have to
    "Highlight 1, then double tap the screen, Highlight 2, the double tap the screen,... etc."
    In order to remove you have 2 options:
    Option# 1 – Turn off Voice Over
    Go to setting by, highlight "SETTING
    Double tap screen to go into settings
    Use 3 fingers to (swipe) scroll of down and highlight "GENERAL"
    Double tap screen to go into general
    Use 3 fingers to (swipe) scroll of down and then highlight “ACCESSIBILITY”
    Double tap screen to go into accessibility
    Once you are in make sure that EVERYTHING in that section are shown as “OFF”
    Option #2 - Reset your Phone
    Go to setting by, highlight "SETTING
    Double tap screen to go into settings
    Use 3 fingers to (swipe) scroll of down and highlight "GENERAL"
    Double tap screen to go into general
    Use 3 fingers to (swipe) scroll of down and then highlight “RESET”
    Double tap screen to go into reset
    Select “Reset all setting” and continue to follow the instruction
    (When you reset, all of your data and music WILL NOT erase. So don’t worry about that)
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I make pages open a template on launch?

    I just switched from Office Mac to pages because I got a retina macbook, and Office looked all blurry.
    Anyway, I made a perfect template for myself and set it to the default, but still when I open pages, it opens the finder window that lets you choose a document. How to I make it open a new document using my template when I launch it?
    Thanks!

    Pages ’09 v4.3 on OS X 10.8.5.
    Pages > Preferences > General : Use template : Choose...
    Pick the Template you want, close Preferences. The next time you launch Pages, it will default to the specified Template.

  • How can I remove items from the open a recent file menue.

    How can I remove items from the "Open a Recent File" menue. Many other applications allow the clearing of that file . Is this possible in Adobe Reader 10.1.2 ? If so how?

    See this previous topic: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3759596
    It is for Acrobat, but the registry entries are similar for Reader.

  • How can I convert my Open Source document files into Word document files? I cannot download Pages since my Macbook Air does not have the most recent software.

    How can I convert my Open Source document files into Word document files? I cannot download Pages since my Macbook Air does not have the most recent software. I downloaded open office to my mac to try and save money. It worked well for a while. Now I get this pop-up message that asks me to "Reopen" and when I select the option, nothing happens. I cannot save my documents anymore and I cannot convert them to word. Help!

    Does OpenOffice output Word documents by default or do you have to select it manually?
    You have 17 options to save as in Open Office, one of which is .doc  files,  yes it needs to be saved manually.
    You may be able to default to DOC, but have not tried same.
    Since Open Office is 99% same as Word, I use it, or Word, either one.  Open Office is a bit less buggy than Word 11'

  • How do you permanently disable Tool Pane from showing up every time you open a pdf document in Adobe Reader DC 2015?

    Just like 9.9/10 people out here in the real world, I use Adobe Reader to read pdf files and never (ever) use the Tool Pane for anything.
    How do I permanently disable it from showing up, instead of having to close it *each & every time* I open a pdf document? The majority of people don't want thins thing covering up the page they are trying to read.

    Okay, seems I've stumbled upon an ugly workaround but it works for me. I'm using Windows 8.1. Go to the install directory, i.e." C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC\Reader\AcroApp\ENU". Create a new subfolder (I used "Disabled"). Move 3 files from the "ENU" folder into the new "Disabled" folder: AppCenter_R.aapp & Home.aapp & Viewer.aapp. Open a PDF and no more Tool Pane! I originally moved just the "Viewer" file but if you clicked on "Home" or "Tools" on the toolbar you couldn't go back to the "Document." Moving all 3 files takes care of that issue. Like a lot of people I don't and won't ever use any of the tools. I just want a reader. Let me know if this works for you.
