I would like to change the default location TextEdit file opens at.

I would like a TextEdit file to open on the right hand side of my desktop while keeping my dock on the left side. It always opens next to the dock.
Is there a terminal command or any other way to change the default spot TextEdit opens?
Thanks,
David

Thomas,
Thanks for the reply.
I had read somewhere that TextEdit opened next to the dock, but I just tried moving the dock and TextEdit still opened on the left.
If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate hearing them. I have to move this file every time I open it.
Thanks,
David

Can I change the default location for File, Open?

When I click on File, Open in CS2 (it came with the computer) Pictures is always the Library that opens. Can this be changed? I have created a Library called Photography. That is where I download and store my photographs and where I work on them.

As an alternative to futzing with Photoshop's File - Open dialog, you could try to change your workflow a bit and browse to your photo folders with Bridge or Explorer, then dragging photos to a Photoshop shortcut (icon on desktop). You can, of course, set up Windows Explorer shortcuts to open to anywhere you want.
Going one further, I suggest against using the Windows "Libraries" feature entirely - it's just an abstraction, and it's always been a bit buggy. Just create folders on your hard drive to work from instead. Everything works better done that way.

Is there anyway of creatiing a different name for this Folder rather than 2013?
If you are using one of Lightroom's "date-based" folder templates, then the folders are created in accordance with the image capture date, not the date that you happen to import it. If you specifically want to use the import date for your folder names then you probably don't want to use the Lightroom date template, and instead you'll need to setup your folder names manually.
The vast majority of users that use date-based folder naming schemes will use a standard Lightroom template, i.e. based on the much more meaningful image capture date.

How can I change the default location of files?

I have just changed the location of "My documents" in Windows to point to a separate drive (in fact "e:\mydocs"). Now Flex Builder 3 can't see my projects. If I import them it wants to copy them back to "c:\documents and settings\administrator\Flex Builder 3". So I have 2 questions - firstly is it possible to alter something so that it sees my projects in the right place automatically. Secondly how can I change the default location?
Thanks

sorry folks, just found the answer - File-Switch Workspace

How to Change the Projector's Default Background. I would like to change the default backgound from the Apple Starfield to plain black

I want to be able to change my projectors default background while using my mac book pro. Currently it is showing Apple's signature background. I would like to change it to a plain black background so that when I disengage mirroring the screen the audience sees will go black; thus allowing me to make any necessary changes/switch programs and then engage mirroring. Any suggestions besides using a video switcher?

It is Not an Apple projector; the image is being pushed from my mac book pro.

I would like to change the destination location for the urlcassifier3.sqlite file, so it saves to the computer instead of the user profile. How?

urlclassifier3.sqlite is huge and eats up my profile space on my user account. Is there anyway to change the location this file saves to?

Unless you are using a non-default Profile location, that file isn't even in your actual Profile folder. It is in a secondary "profile" folder under Local Settings\App Data, instead App Data\Roaming. ''Or something like that, I use WinXP on my Windows partition.'' If you have relocated your Profile folder, all the files from "Local Settings" will end up in the relocated Profile folder.
As far as moving it - sorry, the developers didn't provide a preference that can be modified to be able to move that specific file; there isn't a pref to move anything but the Cache in any version above Firefox 2.0.0.x.
The way I see it you have two options: <br />
# Turn off the '''''Block reported'' attack sites''' and '''web forgeries''' preferences in the Security tab in options, that service is disabled altogether, and delete that file.
# Or delete that file periodically so that is doesn't get too large, like when it reaches like maybe 35 to 40,000Kb , and let Firefox rebuild that file.
Depending on the security suite or A-V application you are using, you may have a second anti-phishing / web forgery application installed, and don't really need the default service that comes with Firefox.
''I hate that damn file - I have over 40 Profiles which I use to test different add-on configurations and because I have 12 different versions of Firefox installed. I routinely turn those prefs off and delete that file in the Profiles that I rarely use for "surfing".'' I do have those prefs enabled on the 8 Profiles that I use on a semi-regular basis, though. My A-V program is a free version without the bells & whistles that come with the "paid" versions.

Would like to change the "Retrieve duplicate rows" Query Prop to unchecked

Currently the Query Property "Retrieve duplicate rows" is checked (selected) by default.
For our users, the typical case would be to NOT retrieve duplicate rows.
Thus, we would like to change the default setting for the "Retrieve duplicate rows" query property to
unchecked (not selected).
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance.

Is there a way to do this?
No. Not easily/out of the box.
The only way I can think off to do this would be to use the Enterprise and Webi SDKs.

I would like to change the colour of bars in a chart without losing the underlying default texture associated with my chosen theme. None of the 3D textured fills offered in "Chart Colors" match the textured fill of the theme. Any suggestions?

I would like to change the colour of bars in a chart without losing the underlying default texture associated with my chosen theme. None of the 3D textured fills offered in "Chart Colors" match the textured fill of the theme. Any suggestions?

Thanks Gary, but no, that does not work. First of all, I can't select each bar individually. When I click on one bar, all three bars are selected.
When I use "inspector > graphic" I have 5 fill options: none, color, gradient, image, tinted image. The default selection for the theme I'm using is image. What I would like to use for my charts is the same image that this theme uses for table headers. It has the same texture as the chart, but a different colour. Using anything but image or tinted image removes the texture from the fill.
I have found I can do one of two things. I can select tinted image from the fill selections in "inspector > graphic" or I can select 2D Image Fills from "inspector > chart > chart colors". The first choice does not allow me to match the table header colour because it only allows me to apply a tint to the existing colour and adjust its opacity. The existing colour has too much influence on the fill, so I can't find an RGB adjustment that will match the table header colour. The image selections from "inspector > chart > chart colors" do not quite match the colour or the texture. Again, I can try to tint the image, but I still can't get it to match and the texture is not the same anyway.
The image I want to use obviously exists in the software as it is an attribute of the theme, but for some reason is inaccessible. The other angle I have tried is to edit the theme, but I can't figure out how to do that either.

TS1314 How do you change the default location address (in My Pictures) of the IPOD Photo Cache ?

How do you change the default location address (in my pictures) of the IPOD Photo Cache ?

You do no specifically. It sounds like you are syncing a folder to the iPod. In that case:
From a Folder on Mac OS X, Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7
The iPod Photo Cache will be located in the folder you selected to sync with.
Thus, you have to change the location of the folder you sync with.

How do I change the default location for iPhoto media?

On my MacBook Pro, I have a 250 GB solid state drive. More than 140 GB of that space is taken up by images and video in my iPhoto folder. I want to purchase an external hard drive to store my iPhoto media so I can free up space on my Mac's hard drive. I can drag and copy the images/video to the new external hard drive, but in the future how can I change the default location to the new external device? I looked at iPhoto preferences, but see no setting that would re-direct media from my camera. Please help.

Copy the library to the external hard drive. Then launch iPhoto with the option key held down and choose the library on the external hard drive.
Run the external library to make sure it has all of your photos and works as expected. It will not be your default library.
Once you're sure the external library is good you can delete the library on the SSD.

Hi Apple Team, I would like to change the iCloud account on my iPhone, however it says I must 'delete the account' before doing so? Does this mean that I delete the entire existing account, or just delete it from my phone specifically?

Changing the Default Location for Backups

I've just downloaded PC Suite 6.81.13.0. How do I change the default location where backups are stored on my laptop? The default location stores the data in an location that is not compatible with my company network profile. I want to store the data in a different location, but I can't see any option to allow me specificy the location.

You have to re-index your Library by dragging/dropping the main Library folder into the Loop browser.

You cannot.

HT1918 I moved to another country and would like to change the billing country for the credit card. It doesn't allow me to switch the country only street etc.. Do I have to create a new account separately for a new country?

Nope. You can only have one credit card attached to an account at a time. Its not that big of a deal to use two accounts, users do this all the time. Create the second account(UK Account) in iTunes on your computer...sign out of your Italian account first. Then authorize your computer for this new account: Store>Authorize this computer. Then sync your phone. Now, to switch accounts on your phone: Settings>Store...tap the ID shown...sign out...then sign back in with the ID you want to use.
