Is it possible to lock icons to specific desktops?

I am organizing my iMac with different desktops for different functions.  I would like to lock appropriate icons (for programs and documents) to the appropriate desktop.  Is this possible with Lion, or even with an add-on product (and if so, what is the product?)
Thanks!

GREAT question! I understand how to customize diffrent apps to appear in the various desktop docks. But I would like different icons and folders to appear on my various desktops.

  • Is it possible to lock out a specific cookie in Safari

    Is it possible to permanantly "lock out" a specific cookie in Safari? I understand using preferences to provide details and to remove specific cookies but I would like to prevent some cookies from ever being allowed. Is there an advanced blocking method I haven't found yet?

    No, you are not the only one having issue with management of cookies in Safari.
    Many have expressed a wish for blacklisting cookies.
    Safari > Preferences > Privacy  > Block cookies > Always
    Click the question mark at the bottom. This is the explanation  I got.
    "Select to always block cookies. This may prevent you from using some websites."
    I am not aware any command using terminal to accomplish the objective.
    Best.

  • How to lock icon position on desktop

    I would like to arrange the icons on my desktop in a particular way and always lock them into that position. Is there a way to do that in the OS, or is there a third party plug in that could do that? Thanks.

    I agree that the icon arrangement ought to persist through a reboot; AFAIK the Finder is supposed to save that information before shutting down.
    Just a shot in the dark: is there a .DS_Store file on the Desktop? (It would be invisible, so you’d need to use Terminal or a third-party utility to look for it.) If you find one, delete it. Another possibility is a damaged preference file. Have you verified the disk & its access permissions with Disk Utility?

  • Lock icon placement on desktop

    is there a way, or some piece of software that will allow me to lock items, folders and hard drives on the desktop in a certain place? basically I have about 8 external harddrives that I plug into my mac pro and every time i boot up they all appear in a cluttered unorganized fashion along the right of the monitor, i would prefer them to be on the left, and in a specific order. it is very frustrating to have to place them how i like it every time, is there anyway to do this automatically? or even with automator?

    What are your Finder view options?
    At the Finder menu bar, go to View and select Show View Options.
    Do you have "Keep arranged by" selected?
    I have By Name selected which keeps everything arranged on the right but I don't have 8 external drives connected.

  • 8350i missing keyboard lock icon

    I updated my software to the recommended urgrade and now don't have a keyboard lock icon on the desktop menu. Is this correctable?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Which OS did you update to? On the newer OS's the keyboard lock icon will not display until you have a security password on the device.

  • Is it possible to lock a layer within a document and password protect that specific layer?

    Is it possible to lock a layer within a document and password protect that specific layer?

    As stated, no way to do exactly what you want, but an option might be to turn OFF Visibility for that Layer, if you do not want it seen, and then Flatten, and do a Save_As.
    If you do want that Layer seen, but not able to be edited, then Flatten, with Visibility ON, and Save_As.
    The question is, do you want the recipient to see that Layer, or not?
    Next, Do they need to be able to edit all other Layers, but just not that one?
    Last, what type of Layer is it?
    Good luck,

  • The old status bar showed a lock icon when on a secure site - where is that lock icon in vers 4?

    The status bar was along the bottom of the window. At the right end of that bar, a lock icon would appear when you are on a secure site, like banking or bill pay. With the status bar now gone, where do I see that lock icon?

    The padlock is no longer a part of Firefox; it can give users a false sense that a site is secure by not supplying all of the information about a site. Familiarize yourself with the '''''Site Identity Button''''' in Firefox:

    You can install an add-on to show a padlock in the URL/Location/Address bar:

  • Is it possible to lock a folder with a passcode?

    Hi,
    This is more of a request then needing help on it, but is it possible to lock folders with a passcode? this would be very useful for me because I am very irresponsible and can't stop myself from playing games, and adding a passcode would make me think twice about it.

    Only if the the specific app support that feature. Few do.

  • Airport network connected on full bars but "no internet connection" and missing lock icon!

    this is really frustrating!
    I'm using wireless in my house. when i click on my network it connects and it shows perfect connection which is full bars.
    on Network Preferences it says that i'm connected to the Airport but when i go to Safari it shows "You are not connected to the Internet" so i click on Network Diagnostic where the 3 network status on top has the green indicator but the ISP, Internet and Server show red and failed.
    I don't think there's anything wrong with my internet connection since I'm able to go online using my sister's computer and also on my iPhone.
    There's also usually a Lock icon/symbol next to my network's name but when i'm connected to my network the Lock icon seems to be missing but it still shows full bars connection. I really don't get how it's possible to be connected to a network, but no internet connection, while i can access the internet on other devices.
    Please help me out here. I've tried ways like going to library>preferences then put the system configuration into Trash, and going to Network Preferences and removing the Airport service and creating a new one.
    and one more thing. all mentioned above are when i clicked on Advanced on network preferences then i clicked on TCP/IP and changed the Configure IPv4 from Using DHCP to Manually. When i'm back to using DHCP there's an exclamation point over the airport icon on the top bar and it says no internet connection.

    Got my own question answered by a colleague.
    He had me create another "Location" in the network pane of System Preferences, then choose it and click Apply. I created a new location which I called 'Airport', chose it and clicked Apply and sure enough, an IP address showed up and all is well.
    Justin said it's a network bug in Leopard.

  • Hide settings icon for specific users

    Hi
    In share point 2013 we have settings icon at top right corner.
    Is there any way, I can hide this icon for specific users.
    Please help in this regard.
    Thanks,
    Anil

    Hi Kumar,
    Its possible.
    1.Open the .master page in some textpad/SP Designer.
    2.Look for below tag. This is the holder for SITE ACTIONS
    <SharePoint:SiteActions
    3.Look for the Menu item templates. These will clearly give you an idea on wht they will hold.
    <SharePoint:MenuItemTemplate
    4.There will be 2 attributes for each menu item called
    PermissionsString & PermissionMode.
    In the permission string give the required permission to the user to be shown or hide.

  • Can Firefox be locked on a specific website?

    Is it possible to "lock" Firefox when a specific website is open? We are showing a Black History Month website on a computer kiosk at our museum and would like to prevent anyone from using the computer to surf the web.

    No, sorry. Firefox is available only for Nokia Maemo phones (now) and Google Android phones (soon).

  • Possible to lock phone volume/ringtone?

    Hello, is it possible to lock the ringtone and volume settings on a specific line on the 79XX series phones? As an example, I would like to add a line used for emergencies only to specific phones but lock the ringtone and volume on it so individual user's local phone settings would not override it.
    Thanks,
    -J

    Hi Jeremiah,
    I'll just add this tech note to the tips from my friend Manish (+5)
    Q.    How do I prevent the user from changing the ring volume and network   configuration on IP phones?
    A. Users are unable to change the ring volume if you disable the Settings       Access parameter on the Phone configuration page. Complete these steps:
    From the Cisco CallManager Administration page, choose             Device > Phone, and click the phone for which you want to             prevent a ring volume change.
    Choose Disabled for the Settings Access parameter             under the Product Specific Configuration section.
    When Settings Access is enabled, you can change the phone network       configuration, ring type, and volume on the phone. When you disable Settings       Access, the Settings button is completely disabled and no options appear when       you press the button. Also, you cannot adjust the ringer volume or save any       volume settings. The option Restricted is available in Cisco CallManager       version 4.1(3) and later. When you change Settings Access to Restricted, you       can only access User Preferences and volume settings. By default, Settings       Access is enabled.
    From;

  • Encrypted video chat only generates 'lock' icon on the originating side?

    So, I just tried this out with 3 seperate systems, different .mac accounts and can't quite explain what's happening:
    All systems have iChat encryption enabled. If I originate a call to someone else, the call gets established - but while during the establishing phase the lock icon is in both windows, once the chat is active, the lock is ONLY ever on the originating side.
    However, all sides are capable of 'lock' - they just have to be the ones starting the chat.
    Is this a common bug or does anyone have any suggestions? I disabled and re-enabled encryption, but to no avail.
    I didn't even thing it was possible for ONE side only to be encrypted - that wouldn't make sense, would it?
    Thanks,
    Dan

    Hi,
    Anyone got an answer for this question yet?? I'm running 10.5.2 on both machines, both using different full .mac accounts and I'm having exactly the same problem, encryption works both ways with text chat and only one way with video chat!
    Cheers!
    James.

  • Lock icons appear twice in notification area of task bar

    I just got my touchsmart IQ546t. I've noticed sometimes the caps, num, and scroll lock icons in the notificaiton area of the taskbar appear twice. Not sure if it is something to do with the wireless keyboard or not. For now I hid them, but I would like to fix it.

    Hi
    Which tasks are not present in the taskbar area?
    As far as I know if the application was started as a background process it doesnt occur in the task bar.
    Furthermore possibly during the installation some programs ask you if you want create the icon in the task bar.
    Additional I have found a very useful article about the Missing System Tray Icons at Windows XP start-up.

  • After OS 10.4.6 update, mounting my other Mac - drives have lock icon. Why?

    I have a Powerbook and a desktop G5. I share files between them and mount drives (my home directory) on both desktops to easily move files back and forth. Recently after I updated to 10.4.6, when I mount my home directory on either machine (from the other machine), the drive (folder) has a lock icon next to it making it READ only.
    What can I do to remove that lock so I can WRITE to my home directory on each Mac? Thanks!
    Robert

    When I do Command-I, I see that I have read/write access for the local drive - depending on the machine I am sitting at - and the other networkeded drives allow read only.
    I guess the question is - how does the system know a user with the same username and password are actually the same person?
