How to prevent Adobe from changing Update Settings?

Hello,
since many years, Adobe Installer annoys me with a popup telling me "IMPORTANT: Your update options have recently changed".
This leaves me three options and defaults to "Allow Adobe to install updates", which I do NOT want.
I keep setting this to "Notify me to install Updates" - but after each update, the window pops up again!
What can I do to prevent Adobe Installer from loosing its memory?
Many thanks and kind regards
E. Maier
P.S. Here is the window, found somewhere on the internet:

I caught wind of some sort of management platform they have for hosting your own internal Adobe distribution server or something. I imagine that's their answer to this issue. Otherwise we're all chasing after a pointless pursuit - Adobe &
Google have what I assume is a multi-million dollar agreement to which a vocal minority of IT admins aren't going to find a way to reverse so there's no point in bothering with this since the whole structure of the arrangement is obviously designed to maximize
Chrome penetration to the market. Tech support may or may not know of workarounds but since any widespread workaround would go counter to the profitability of the above assumed agreement, I am certain I will be wasting my time. It's clear to me
the intent here is to push Chrome to millions of users via the auto-update of Flash, and so it's probably covered by the EULA as well, some kind of provision stating that if you accept auto-updating you accept 3rd party installs too.

How 2 prevent time from changing on leopard and vista?

if i maintain successive boots into the same OS on my macbook, the time is shown correctly, whereas on booting into another OS changes the time. how to prevent this from happening?
Neerav

From what my brother says says about his set-up (he boots into 64 bit Vista periodically), apparently you can't. My understanding is that the two systems do a different version of time at boot, Vista uses a GMT setting in bios, and I think Mac use a local time in EFI. Anyway, the result is several hours difference between the two. I don't use Boot Camp, but I would think if you are on a network with Internet access, you should be able to have the clock reset automatically using System Prefs->Date and Time, and check the box at the top to automatically set the time from the Apple time server.

How to prevent iTunes from automatically updating iPod?

On the Mac, you can hold down Command+Option to prevent iTunes from automatically updating the iPod when it's plugged in.
Is there any similar keystroke for a PC? I don't want to have to login as a Guest user, as describe in this article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93779
Thanks in advance!

How to prevent user from changing a field on a Form.

I have a form and a report on the same page. The form is used to set criteria for the report. So after the criteria is entered on the form a button is clicked, which passes the criteria to the report. The form also displays some additional data based on the criteria, i.e. I do a query on the form.
The problem I'm having is preventing the user from changing the additional data which is displayed. I tried all the wizzard options; i.e. not updatable, not insertable etc. but the user can still change the data.
The only options seems to be writting some Java code for one of the triggers, but I haven't written any Java before.
So I was wondering if anyone has a non-Java solution for this problem or an example of a Java program I could use to solve the problem.
Thanks for any help
Larry

Hi,
Suppose you want Empno, Sal fields of Employee table as Query only and all other fields user updateable then
uncheck all the three check boxes
Mandatory , Updatable , Insertable under validation options for those fields.
When you run the form, these fields appear as text items in query mode and will appear labels once the querying done.
Hope it works

How to prevent Adobe from installing Google Chrome?

Hi all. It was either this Win 7 security forum of the 2008 R2 group policy forum so I figured more people run iinto this here than anybody. I'm a bit shocked to find I can't get an answer on this via Googling (then again, maybe Google disables
relevant search results, given the context of the situation)
As a standard build process for 2008 R2 domain-joined Win 7 computers, I manually install the latest Adobe Reader and Adobe Flash from www.adobe.com
Both products install with default settings to self-update in the future, which is done via a system service, which is what I want since I don't allow my users admin rights on their systems. And when I install these two items I always uncheck the optional
Google installs. However inevitably a month or two later I log onto a computer only to find Chrome installed.
Pardon the comment here TechNet moderators but needless to say, Google & Adobe [removed expletive]. If I uncheck the option to install Google Chrome and Toolbar when I first install the products, it means I don't want the damn things on there
later either. And neither does any other IT admin out there I am certain.
I looked in both Reader and Flash configuration menus and don't see a way to prevent this installation of optional items. The only option is basically to disable self-updating completely (in Flash's case at least - I can't even find the option
in Adobe Reader DC).
So with my rant and what not out of the way, is there a GPO method to prevent this, and yet still allow these products to self-update? Or any other solution to this problem at all? Thanks for your time. And if you are someone from Google
or Adobe responding, please understand I don't have a gripe against individuals, just the damned company that shoves unwanted junkware down our throats. FU larry and shantanu :)

Prevent user from changing calendar permission

Hi team,
How to prevent users from changing calendar permission in outlook. When user open calendar option in Outlook he should either he should able to view the calendar sharing tab or he should not able to make modification in calendar permission by assigning permission
to others.

Hi,
Agree with Andy. Exchange has no built-in feature to prevent mailbox owner to modify their calendar permissions. Since they are owners, they can set their calendar permissions.
Thanks for your understanding.
Best regards,

How do I prevent Adobe from taking my jpegs and making them pdf files? I have had to uninstall Adobe to access my photos as jpegs.

How do I prevent Adobe from taking my jpegs and making them pdf files? I have had to uninstall Adobe to access my photos as jpegs.

I would suggest you change your file associations so that jpgs open in a program other than Acrobat. Assuming you have a Windows machine, just go to the Start, and search for "file associations" ... it's part of the Control Panel.
Scroll down to the file type jpg, and set it to open with whatever graphic preview or editing program you have that you want to use as the default. From that point on, when you click on a jpg, it should not open Acrobat and instantly try to convert it to a pdf.

How to prevent Oracle from using an index when joining two tables ...

How to prevent Oracle from using an index when joining two tables to get an inline view which is used in an update statement?
O.K. I think I have to explain what I mean:
When joining two tables which have many entries sometimes it es better not to use an index on the column used as join criteria.
I have two tables: table A and table B.
Table A has 4.000.000 entries and table B has 700.000 entries.
I have a join of both tables with a numeric column as join criteria.
There is an index on this column in table A.
So I instead of
where (A.col = B.col)I want to use
where (A.col+0 = B.col)in order to prevent Oracle from using the index.
When I use the join in a select statement it works.
But when I use the join as inline view in an update statement I get the error ORA-01779.
When I remove the "+0" the update statement works. (The column col is unique in table B).
Any ideas why this happens?
Thank you very much in advance for any help.
Regards Hartmut

I think you should post an properly formatted explain plan output using DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY including the "Predicate Information" section below the plan to provide more details regarding your query resp. update statement. Please use the \[code\] and \[code\] tags to enhance readability of the output provided:
In SQL*Plus:
SET LINESIZE 130
EXPLAIN PLAN FOR <your statement>;
SELECT * FROM TABLE(DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY);Usually if you're using the CBO (cost based optimizer) and have reasonable statistics gathered on the database objects used the optimizer should be able to determine if it is better to use the existing index or not.
Things look different if you don't have statistics, you have outdated/wrong statistics or deliberately still use the RBO (rule based optimizer). In this case you would have to use other means to prevent the index usage, the most obvious would be the already mentioned NO_INDEX or FULL hint.
But I strongly recommend to check in first place why the optimizer apparently seems to choose an inappropriate index access path.

How to prevent users from creating new folders in share folder directory?

Hello guys
I'd like to know How to prevent users from creating new folders in share folder directory but still keep their power of creating new folders in their personal 'my folder'?
I tried changing the 'manage privilage ---- create folder' to deny certain user accounts, but by doing so, it also stops the user from creating new folders in their 'my folder', which is not good..
I also tried going into these share folders and tried different access types such as 'change/delete', 'read', 'traverse folder' etc, but none of it work ideally. The 'change/delete' access still allows them to create new folders, 'read' access prevents creating new folders but also take away their power of saving reports..
Any thoughts on how to take away their ability to ONLY create new folders in share folder areas without affecting their other privileges?
Please advise
Thank you

Easy, on the shared folders root folder only give them 'read' or 'traverse folder' but on the the folder inside the shared folders root folder give them 'change/delete'. That means they can change anything inside those folders but not create any folders at the shared folders root level.

I am the System Administrator of my computer. I have managed to limit most of what my nephew can do via general Windows functions. However, I need to prevent him from changing his Firefox Options (listed under the Tools menu). He has already changed items that leave my computer vulnerable and although I've explained to him that he should not change anything in the Options area, he continues to do it. If there is not a way for me to prevent him from changing anything in Options, then I have no alternative than to prevent him from using the computer at all. I hope it doesn't come to that.

Maybe taking away his privileges will could teach him a valuable lesson------respect other people's property!

How to prevent apps from syncing in the new version of itunes?

Hey there.
I brang my macbook to Applestore cause it had a problem and they downloaded the latest version of itunes. Everything's fine and my music, videos and apps are in the new itunes like before. But now, when I want to sync my iphone, a pop window asks me to give the password of the itunes account I used to download some of my apps or it will delete them and their data. The problem is that one of these accounts is an old friend's one and I actually lost all contact with him. So basically now I can't sync my iphone at all or it will delete all my apps.
Has anyone any idea how to sort that out? Or at least knows how to prevent apps from syncing in this new version of itunes?
Thanks for your help
