Install files to desktop in MXI file

What is the proper syntax to place files on the desktop (PC/MAC) in an MXI file?
ex.
<files>
<file source="sourceFiles" destination="???????????"/>
</files>

Thanks Xiaoyi,
Here is the proper syntax to install, in this case an entire folder, to the desktop:
<files>
<file source="sourceFiles" destination="$userhomefolder/desktop"/>
</files>
Should work for Win 7 and Mac

Allowing Users to Create folders or files on desktop by .bat file

Dear Microsoft,
I had disabled the user to create file in desktop using a script which I had seen in the forum, script which I has used in Echo Y| cacls %userprofile%\desktop /P %username%:R and created a .bat file, it worked well and disabled user access to save
files in desktop. Now I need to enable the access. Please help me to make the changes in the script or to write a new script to enable the access
With Warm Regards,
Subin Thomas

Echo Y| cacls %userprofile%\desktop /P %username%:R save this in to .bat file and run as administrator..DONE
Since %UserProfile% and %UserName% can have embedded spaces, you should surround both with double quotes in order to make your script robust. Furthermore, by giving users read-only access to their own desktop, your popularity rating is likely to drop dramatically.
"Full access" might be more appropriate.
echo Y| cacls "%userprofile%\desktop" /G "%username%":F

Can't drag files from desktop to project files window

Im using the latest premiere pro version, 7.2, and while I can drag files from my desktop to the project window in premiere 6, for some reason its no longer possible in premiere 7.2
whenver I try to drag audio or video files from my desktop or any folder to the project files window at the bottom left I get a forbidden sign or circle with a diagonal so the only way to import files is through the import menu, which is less straightforward and slowlier
Ill be happy to provide more data if required
thanks
PS: obviously Ive already created a sequence so the problem is not that

The latest version is 7.2.2 (33)
Upgrade to that and see if it helps.

Creative Cloud Desktop deletes your files when you re-install - why?

Just re-installed Creative Cloud Desktop to try to fix a syncing issue and it deleted all my personal files stored in my local creative cloud folder. As many of these files had not synced, I have now lost them.
Adobe support not sympathetic.
This is so annoying. Uninstalling a piece of software should never delete user files.
Really hacked off.

ddinsdale2000,
I'm sorry to hear that your experience has not been good.
Could you confirm that your files are not present in either of these locations:
1. In your user's home directory (either /Users/<yourusername>/Creative Cloud Files/ on Mac, or C:\Users\<yourusername>\Creative Cloud Files\ on Windows)?
2. In your Trash or Recycle Bin?
The Creative Cloud desktop application should not delete any files on uninstalling/reinstalling. Also, Creative Cloud file sync does not outright delete files, they are just moved to the Trash/Recycle Bin.
We can look into what happened here if you send us your logs. Please zip up the entire contents of this folder, and email it to me at [email protected]:
Mac: /Users/<yourusername>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CoreSync
Windows: C:\Users\<yourusername>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CoreSync
Library (on Mac) and AppData (on Windows) are hidden folders. Please read these pages for help on showing these folders:

Win7 install of PS Element and Premiere to Desktop not Program Files

Using the installer in Windows 7 worked, but only if I allowed the programs to be installed on my Desktop, rather than the usual C:\Program Files. I really don't want programs sitting in my Desktop folder, but in the appropriate Adobe folder under Program Files. Given some of the forum comments questions about uninstalling PS programs, I am leery of doing so here. Advice please.
Jeanne

Can you send the exact message that you got restricting your install to the desktop?

I've downloaded the Toolkit for CreateJS to install in my shiny new copy of Flash CS6. The .zip contains an .mxi file. When I opened the Extension Manager, all it was looking for was .mxp files. Can anyone tell me how to get this Toolkit installed? Many thanks.

You nedd download the file Toolkit-for-CreateJS.zxp

Drag and drop file to desktop bug

I have a new fusion drive 27" iMac with Thunderbolt Cinema Display.
When I drag a file, like an attachment from mail, onto the desktop it does not drop the file where the cursor indicates it will.
The same thing when dragging from the download folder or a finder window.
The file is randomly paced on the main iMac desktop in no particluar order, and you can't precisely drop a file where you want.
File can be dropped behind open windows, making them hard to find.
If the Thunderbolt display is unplugged, the issue goes away and drag and drop is precise.
This used to happen on my old iMac aswell, but i put it down to a bug with my system, however, it also happened out-of-the-box on the new fusion iMac before I installed any software or files, as I was specifically testing this - it's very annoying and disruptive to workflow.
Something with OSX doesn't like the external monitor when it comes to drag and drop to desktop.

The card reader is apparently stuck in write-locked mode. I don't generally advise do-it-yourself hardware repair, but one ASC poster managed to fix this problem. I haven't tried the fix myself and I can't offer any guidance beyond what's in that discussion. If you cause damage, don't expect your warranty to cover it. I suggest you instead make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

Unable to restore System Recovery Files in desktop folder

I owned an HP Pavilion A6037C desktop computer (Running Vista). It began to give me serious issues in July so i used the HP System Backup and Restore program to create a backup of all my files. i saved these files on an external HD so i wouldn't lose my files if the computer crashed. This backup was created in a folder called MINWINPC. In that folder was this file name "Backup Files 2011-5-7 234595". in that folder was a file list
Backup.001.App
Backup.002.fbw
Backup.003.fbw
Backup.004.fbw
and so on ....
I have since removed the first computer (although i still have it in my posession), and have replaced it with an HP Pavilion P6245f desktop running Windows 7.
Now that i have a newer desktop in place i wanted to install some of my old files from my backup that is saved on my external hard drive. i've connected the external hard drive to the new computer and i've ran the Backup.001.App. It restored my old files to a folder on my desktop called "Shortcut to System Recovery Files". It's a rather large file (i believe 50 GB) that is stored in another folder titled "C". In this folder i can see the seperate file folders i'm assuming were from my original desktop. when i access my username and select for instance "My Pictures" folder, it shows a list of all my orginal files. When i double click a picture, it says :
"File not readable. You can not open this file. Please check the readability of this file."
when i try to open any other type of file (such as .pdf's or word documents, or spreadsheets), it basically says the same thing.
"Can not access the document C:\(filelocation). The document may already be open or a read only document. The name and path may be invalid. The document may no longer exist, or it may already be open".
PLEASE HELP   All i want to do is restore my pictures, documents, and emails .   HOW CAN I RESTORE THESE FILES TO MY NEW COMPUTER ????????

IE11 Shows :Program not responding, on Desktop, after IE File is closed out

Hi, I am looking for help with this odd problem and cannot find any other question like it.
My PC has Windows 7 64bit installed on HP pavilion g7 notebook. I use 32 bit browser I mostly go to in private as I have to erase all Temp internet files manually.(Different problem)
  I always open IE , not in private first, and again before I close out to insure some needed      files are in temp internet files. I have done this for 3 years as this PC has a quirk and am
telling this just so you have all information. Still EI will close out, as below, no matter what!
After IE 11 update KB2962872 IE works well but very often after closing out IE file a message appears on my Desktop saying that the program is not responding....looks for solution.....then says to close out IE. But I had already closed it out???? The
message takes 1 to 3 seconds to appear on my Desktop. Makes no sense and I have tried many things. Tried a compatibility       trouble-shooter and when I give the file for IE it said this program cannot be tested.
IE does not show up in Programs and Files , from my control panel?
Event viewer shows Error:
Faulty Application name: IEXPLORER.EXE, version:11.0.9600.17207,time stamp:0x53a20c50
Faulty module name:MSHTML.dll, version:11.0.9600.17207
Execution code: 0xc0000005
Faulty offset: 0x00482d4f
Faulty process id: 0x18eo
Faulty application start time: 0x01cf9df2ac176a84
Faulty application path: C\: Program Files (x86)\ Internet Explorer\ IEXPLORE.EXE                  Faulty module path: C:\Windows\system32\MSHTML.dll
Action center shows this problem and thus my performance is about 2 on 10.
Thank you very much for looking at my question.

Hello Picpansnap & Rob,
I encountered a similar problem, as Picpansnap did "After IE 11 update KB2962872 IE works well but very often after closing out IE file a message appears on my Desktop saying that the program is not responding....looks for solution.....then
says to close out IE." This happens now every time I open IE.
I agree Rob that this is likely a 3rd party add-on problem. In my case I tried the consumer solutions 1st. I myself did try all the recommended solutions and even ran the good old fixit tool. However I was not ever able to get to Tools>Internet
Options>Advanced as my browser would crash shortly after opening. This became very frustrating so being an IT professional myself, I of course came to technet to check the forums. KB2962872 is a recent update at the time of this writing and as such
the consumer site may not quite be aware of the need for an advanced solution as of yet. Picpansnap showed some advanced level understanding by sending an event viewer output, it was the similarities between his output and mine as well as your mention
of 3rd party add-on's that prompted me to remember another method to turn them off as I had tried Tools>Internet Options>Advanced unsuccessfully due to the quick crashing of newly opened IE page.
I remembered how to diagnose an individual IE add-on so I opened internet properties and from the program tab clicked the manage add-on button and proceeded to disable all IE add-on's and bring them up one by one to see which one was the culprit. In my case
it was the avast online security add-on that was the cause. With that add-on disabled Internet Explorer is now working fine. I have a subscription to avast internet security and am passing on this information to them as well as to http://answers.microsoft.com
I would like to wholeheartedly thank both of you for providing me with the clues to get my own IE working again. I had just performed a re-install of Windows 8 due to AMD's 14.4 driver hosing my USB, sound & DVD drive. I was able to get the sound &
DVD working again without the re-install but after spending hours in forums and trying solutions I was left with the re-install & update all the way back to Win 8.1 as my only option (recovery image was on external USB drive , of course). That was a battle
and I really do appreciate the posts here in technet where many problems with Microsoft programs are resolved 1st. I usually am a reader only & this will be my 1st post, I hope this can help others with similar issues.
Chuck ;)

ALL DOWNLOADS DISTORT ALL FILES AND DESKTOP

WINDOWS XP PRO 32. internet explorer 8. I HAVE INSTALLED AND UNINSTALLED READER AND FLASH PLAYER SEVERAL TIMES, WITH SAME RESULTS, WITH AND WITHOUT GOOGLE CHROME SELECTED.
ALL Files and desktop are so large they can not be navigated.

A screen shot might be better, but try this anyway.
If you haven't already rebooted, do so.
Right click an empty bit of the desktop.
Choose Properties
Click Appearance
Look under Font Size: make sure it is NORMAL.

Why does FF save files to desktop, when I have "downloads" checked in options? This is a new issue with the latest version 3.6.3 Windows XP Thanks.

Why does FF save files to desktop, when I have "downloads" checked in options? This is a new issue with the latest version 3.6.3 . Using Windows XP Driving me nuttier! Thanks.
(Is is that MicroNetFrame Asst thing?)
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== When I installed latest version

Thanks for your reply. I appreciate your help.
It was just a hunch that MircoNetFrame was causing the problem. I disabled it as you suggested, and I still have the problem.
I just changed under Tools>Options> General - had checked "ask me every time" under downloads, so instead of asking me, FF saved the download to I know not where. It no longer saves it to the desktop, leaving a duplicate in "my documents".
In windows, I have found unless one knows the entire name of the document, one can never find anything. It isn't listed under recent ''''''__. I can't recall the nomenclature, but the
capability is ridiculous. So, I don't know where that file I just downloaded is!
I downloaded a PDF file, but this happens with all DL's. It was so easy to have them all stacked in one place and I could recall
what I had and when I downloaded it easily.
Do you have any other suggestions other that going back to the old version of FF, which I would rather not do?
Thanks again for your time, it is very considerate to help a complete stranger, I must say. Sounds like something I might do! Cheers!

When I click on file on desktop it highlights another area on screen

Clicking on any file on desktop cause a blank area on screen to make "boxes"

Thank you both for your help. sorry for the delay but I have been away. No 1 reply sorted the problem, thank you. However I have now installed Team Viewer as a free download so my son can access my PC to correct my difficulties. I would recomend this facility to anyone like me who doesn't understand the first thing about computers.

DW - can't open files on desktop

Hi
When i try to open a file from desktop the desktop closes immediately and won't let me select a file. Same thing in happening in PS too.
I am having update problems with Adobe CC as well. It says i have updates but when i try to update a error message comes up.
I have OS10 10.9

Have you installed Java SE 6?

Mavericks has JSE 7 by default. If you haven't installed 6 with it, DW will have all kinds of problems.

Photoshop 13.0.1 breaks mxi files API

This worked in CS6 13.0.0, and is only showing up after updating to 13.0.1.
Our MXI file has the following files that are bundled with the plugin.
<files>
    <file destination="" file-type="CSXS" products="" source="Dashboard.zxp"/>
    <file destination="$presetsfolder/Actions/Kubota set-up Actions 2.atn" products="Photoshop,Photoshop32,Photoshop64" source="bundled/Presets/Actions/Kubota set-up Actions 2.atn"/>
    <file destination="$presetsfolder/Scripts/Activate Kubota Dashboard.jsx" products="Photoshop,Photoshop32,Photoshop64" source="bundled/Presets/Scripts/Activate Kubota Dashboard.jsx"/>
</files>
When installing our plugin after updating to 13.0.1 we get the following error.
Can't create folder 'Drive:Applications:Adobe Photoshop CS6:Presets:Actions:Kubota set-up Actions 2.atn'. After hitting OK the installation rollsback and prevents the installation from occuring.

It turns out this issue was specific to Apple OS X Mountain Lion.
However, we figured out how to work around this.
Instead of using $presetsfolder/Actions and $presetsfolder/Scripts, we use the $actions and $scripts tokens instead. Not sure why this would break with a dot update, but there it is.
