How to prevent creation of My * folders on Home drive

First a little background. Our enterprise (some 11,000+ computers) utilize Active Directory to manage user logons and credentials. Every user has a home drive mapped to one of our many servers as part of their Active Directory profile. As a matter
of policy, users are prohibited from storing images, videos and audio on any of the servers. These files instead may be located on the users workstation.
More to the point now.
All of the home drives are proliferated with numerous My Music, My Pictures and My Video folders, all of which are empty and unused. If it were not for the fact that these folders turn up not only in the root of the home folder, but also in the My Documents
folder and even in sub folders deep within the file structure, we would not be concerned. Deleting these empty folders does no good as they are immediately recreated when the user logs in again.
Is there a way to prevent the creation of these folders in the home drive?

Hi,
We could not delete My Music, My Pictures and My Video folders, but we could redirect these folders to another drive or a network share.

Dear Simsasha,
Could you please breif whether:
1. Its Order-related-Billing, OR
2. Delivery-Related Billing
If, Its Order-related-Billing, You need to work-around Copy-Control Setting in VTFA; and if,
Its Delivery Related-Billing, You need to work-around Copy Control settings in VTFL.
You need to write Code to check Quantity = 0, and attach the same within Field: Data VBRK/VBRP; to check and avoid Invoice creation, if Invoice-item has billed quantity as 0.
You may work with Program RV60AFZC USEREXIT_FILL_VBRK_VBRP
Best Regards,

Note: You may take help from the discussion from following thread:
[Billing with Zero Quantity, not allowed|Re: Billing for zero quantity is being allowed]
I hope, this would definitely help you, some extent.

How can I open files in folders on iCloud Drive on my iOS8 device?

Have created folders and moved parts of my documents and pdf files to iCloud Drive on my MAC (Yosemite).
I can see the folders on my iOS device in Manage my iCloud, I can delete the folders and documents but HOW can I open the documents?
On Apples homepage I can see a simliar layout as when I log in to iCloud.com with my folders etc. plus the Apple Pages folders.
But where on my iPad / iPhone do I navigate to find the same?
Tried to login to iCloud.com on Safari on my iPad but it did not show my folders/files on iCloud Drive.

So what is the point of upgrading to iCloud Drive when there is no "Drive" on your iOs 8 device? I also added a new folder through Safari on desktop- as instructed by Apple- and I have no way of accessing it on the iPhone! This seems pretty bogus and a huge waste of time!
And... If Apple was developing an app for the "Drive" why have us upgrade to something you have no way of using?
And... I did try opening files through apps that allow it but I do not see anything.
And... Pages docs do NOT show in the "Drive" on Safari.
WHY?

How to prevent user from saving file on local drives

Hi,
We have a file server set up on a Windows 2003 Server. Is there any way to restrict users so that they can only open and view the file but they can't save it on their local drives? If not, can this be done with Windows 2008 or 2012 or any Linux
server or any document management software?
Thanks,
Jerry

If you can open the file from a client then generally there is not much you can do to prevent them saving it locally. Unless you restrict the clients access to save anything at all on their local hard drive which depending of the security requirements of
the data you are accessing could be a valid option.
Depending how critical / sensitive that information you could look at alternate method of accessing that file. In my experience securing important / secret data comes down to access procedures just as much if not more than technical solutions.
Maybe restrict access to that file to a handful of trusted users who can then inform the "untrusted" users of any information they need.
Like I say this is a procedural issue as much as anything else.

Solved: how to delete those pesky "require" folders in Home folder

I was bummed that OS X now tries to "require" you to have folders like Sites, Downloads and so on in the home folder. Force Delete 1.2 will make short work of these, in case anyone else is stumped about how to delete the folders.

How to prevent OSX from appending numbers to portable drive

Hi All,
I have a very annoying problem regarding portable usb drives, OSX and drive labels.
Sometimes when I disconnect my portable usb drive and reconnect it, OSX adds a number (or increments the old one) to the end of the portable usb drive label.
Is there anyway to prevent/disable this?
Mira

When that happens to me, I do a system shutdown, or restart, instead of a Force Eject.
Reason being -- there is something not right, possibly some file still open.

How to prevent .DS_Store files in specificied folders

Hello. I want to stop creation of .DS_Store files in Desktop and Picture/hoge folders only. Also I would like to keep its settings of .DS_Store files in other folders. When I googled the web I found so many pages explaining how to prevent .DS_Store in network folders, how to stop creation of .DS_Store files in all of the OSX system and usage of TotalFinder. Those are not what I am finding for. I want to stop creation of .DS_Store files in only particular folders. I can use AppleScript or Terminal commands. Thank you very much.

would creating an empty one, then locking it achieve what you need ?
+ locking existing ones as needed.
briefly checking here causes no obvious problems, Finder still alows changes, but reverted after relaunch.

I want to configure JaxB to use only one Interface and only one implementation Class.
Thank's,

I am sorry I can not answer your question, I have got the same problem. Could you please email me to
[email protected] when you know the answer, please.
I have a question for you. When and complex type is validated, I get the object which contains the error. ( or objects ).
However. How do know the position in the actual parent object. basically. Is there a way to know exactly the position of that attribute in that object. I need to store errors strings.
The first problem derives from this one:
It is not possible to execute validate function for a primitive attribute inside an structure.
I would appreciate your help.
Thanks.

How do we Prevent Creation of Production Orders for Phantom materials.

Dear Experts;
We have some materials which are Phantoms.
We have set "special procurement type" as 50 in MRP2 and "Strategy Group" as 59 in MRP3
These are non stchable items, but have BOMS.
We dont create orders for them, however at the mement the system allows order creation. How do we prevent creation of production orders for these items in the system.
Thanks in Advance
Richard.

Dear Richard,
Check using this BADI - WORKORDER_UPDATE using method IN_UPDATE or Release by including a check if MATNR and for
WERKS combination if SOBSL = 50 from table MARC,then do not allow to save.
Check whether this works or else you have to set a plant specific status using OMS4 for not allowing production order
creation and assign this value in the material master of the phantom assemblies.
Check and revert

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.

How to prevent JFileChooser automatically changing to parent directory?

When you show only directories, and click on the dir icons to navigate, and then dont select anything and click OK, it automatically 'cd's to the parent folder.
My application is using the JFileChooser to let the user navigate through folders and certain details of 'foo' files in that folder are displayed in another panel.
So we dont want the chooser automatically changing dir to parent when OK is clicked. How to prevent this behavior?
I considered extending the chooser and looked at the Swing source code but it is hard to tell where the change dir is happening.
thanks,
Anil
To demonstrate this, I took the standard JFileChooserDemo from the Sun tutorial and modified it adding these lines
          // NEW line 45 in constructor
          fc.addPropertyChangeListener((PropertyChangeListener) this);
          fc.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.DIRECTORIES_ONLY);
      * NEW -
      * @see java.awt.event.ActionListener#actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent)
     public void propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent e) {
          String prop = e.getPropertyName();
          if (JFileChooser.DIRECTORY_CHANGED_PROPERTY.equals(prop)) {
               System.out.println("DIRECTORY_CHANGED_PROPERTY");
               File file = (File) e.getNewValue();
               System.out.println("DIRECTORY:" + file.getPath());

Disable creation of Maploader folders

Hi,
Recently, very sadly, my 5410i died. So I got a new phone. This one has a USB port, so I decided to check out the OVI software. It's pretty useful for backing up my contacts (about 200).
However, since installing the software I noticed I have folders Maploader on each harddrive (and I have quite a few). I don't like those folders everywhere. With a little Googling I found out OVI is most likely doing this and considering my history of installing software, it makes a lot of sense to me.
So: how do I disable the creation of these folders? I already removed OVI from the list of programs to start up with Windows, but isn't there an option in OVI to disable this annoying habit?
Thanks a lot!
J

the new version was released a few days ago, so i guess you might have an older version.
even on my external hard drives those folders don't exist.
the new version looks like the image.

Finder "All Images", "All Pictures" available to all users! How to prevent?

Whatever the User (even Users non Administrator and with Parental Control) can see ALL pictures in Computer by accessing the "All Images" icon in Finder. How to prevent this? What have I done wrong as I believe in the past this did not happen?

Did you alter the permissions on your home folder?
Where are the pictures located? Your home folder is visible to all users because they need to see into your Public folder. The other folders inside your home folder are protected (Documents, Pictures, etc.)
However, if you make a folder directly inside the home folder, it is visible to everyone since it has same permissions as the home folder itself.
