Is there a way to open a chat window with lookout?

I know there is a windows-chat embeded in Windows but our IT department has it blocked in all the machines. So I created, using a run object, a wordpad window to chat remotelly with the operator of the system using VNC4.0. Problem is that as soon as a new lookout screen is open, wordpad goes behind lookout. This VNC does not have chat windows.
I have secured lookout with passwords, the operator can not get inside the computer when lookout is open. No menu bar, no task bar. Lookout shutdwon the computer by a button on screen connected to a run object. When computer boots up, lookout opens automatically becasue its icon is in the start up file. This way of blocking the access to inside the PC works great but once wordpad windows goes back, I don't see a way to make it visible again without breaking the security of Lookout.
It will be really handy to have sort of chat window that lookout can open and close by itself, without asking for the blessing of the IT department.
Any ideas?
Note: I tried also the web  server ponting to a wordpad file previously saved in some place. The inconcvenience of this is that the Web object cannot be moved around to uncover buttons of lookout screens. It doen't work 100% fine either as a chat windows.
Again: Any ideas?

Create Comments:
Create an Access database.  Table: Notepad Fields: Username (Text), ComputerName(Text),TimeStamp(DateTime),Comment(Memo)
Create TextObject called ChatComment. 
Create PushButton called MakeComment.
Create and SQLExec object. Connect to the database.
SQL Query  "INSERT INTO Notepad (Username,ComputerName,TimeStamp,ChatComment) VALUE "'" & $system.Username & "', '" & $system.Computername & "'," & now() & ", '" & ChatComment & "')"
(This SQL query is just PSEUDO CODE, it is not complete!)
Connect SQLExec.Execute=MakeComment (pushbutton).
 Read Comments (Most Recent 15):
Create DataTable object, set as ODBC and connect to database.
SQL Query: "SELECT TOP 15 * FROM Notepad ORDER BY DateTime ASC"
Set a timer object or pushbutton to DataTable.ExecuteSQL
The datatable should have fields like A (Username), B (Computername), C(TimeStamp), D (ChatComment)
Make your displays.
This is all pseudo-code type. But that will get you close to what you want.

  • Is there a way to open a new window with one site when the home setting on Firefox has multiple websites?

    While working in Firefox is there a way to open a new window with one site when the home setting on Firefox has multiple websites?

    I guess I'm not explaining myself fully. I have a home page designation in firefox preferences that starts firefox up with 5 sites. that pretty fills up my screen with tabs.
    At some point I want to initiate another WINDOW in firefox (NOT a tab). I would like to be able to open up a window that ONLY has ONE tab, or as if there were only one site designated as the home page. This gives me a workspace that has my most useful sites available in tabs in one window, and also another WINDOW that I can move around in and even create more tabs without messing up my primary set of TABS (in my primary window). I see how this might not be doable without doing what I do now, which is open up a new window, and then close tabs until the new window just has one tab for me to work from.

  • Is there a way to open a new window from the "Go" menu in Mavericks?

    Before Mavericks, I was able to go from the Finder to the top menu "Go" -> "Utilities", or Applications or Home… and a new window would open.
    Now I have to manually open a new window to avoid loosing my existing window.

    First, as others have already stated.....make sure the checkbox is deselected for "open folders in tabs instead of windows" in Finder Preferences.
    If you're like me and don't like tabs very much, there is a way to make folders always open in windows with a simple click (I'm using Mavericks 10.9.5).  Go to a root folder (for example, the Documents Folder), open it, and select View > Hide Toolbar, then all folders within that root folder will open in a new window.
    As an alternative method, any folder can be opened in a new window by holding down either Command Key while clicking the folder. But sooner or later you will forget to hold down that key, and then clicking on a folder will open in a tab (which will automatically resize the window and cause much aggravation).
    The Hide Toolbar trick will also work with any folder present on the Desktop. It will make all folders inside that folder open in new windows.
    To make the Applications Folder open in a new window when opening it from the menu bar at the top of the screen, you will have to open the main hard drive folder and use the Hide Toolbar trick. This will cause all folders inside it to open in new windows.
    Hope this helps.

  • Is there a way to open an iphoto 9 with a iphoto library that was saved in iphoto 11?

    I recently reformatted my hard drive which had iPhoto 11 on it.  I backed up the iphoto library by copying it to an external hard drive.
    I re installed Snow Leopard on my Macbook and do not want to re install iPhoto 11 or Mountain Lion as my Macbook struggles with lack of RAM.
    I copied the iPhoto library to my Pictures folder but cannot open my library since it was upgraded in iPhoto 11.
    Is there a way to roll the library back to allow it to open in iPhoto 9?
    Thanks

    Have a look at the paid version of
      iPhoto Library Manager
    It promises to be able to downgrade your library - I have not tried it yet, so test with a trial library:

  • I've been wondering about a feature that I ran into with a previous version of Firefox. Is there any way to open two separate windows in Firefox 4?

    I ran into this when working in gaiaonline.com on Firefox 3.6, ''I believe it was .6. It could have been a later version. But it was 3 for sure''. I was signed into one profile on one window, and my sister was signed in to hers on a different window of Firefox at the same time. I was wondering if there was a way to achieve this on Firefox 4.

    You can look this extension if you want to sign on with different identities at the same time:

  • Is there a way to open/edit files made with Microsoft Publisher on my new Mac?

    I recently upgraded to a Mac from a Dell and I have documents that I made with Microsoft Word and Publisher that I still need to be able to use with my Mac but I can't figure out how to open them with it. Is there a program that I need to download?

    Word documents from your PC will open directly in Word for the Mac. If you have the ability to save your Publisher documents from the PC in PDF format, they can be converted from PDF to Word format and emailed back to you by this web site, free of charge:
    http://www.pdftoword.com/
    Note that not all features of the resulting Word files will be as completely editable as they were in Publisher, but they should look pretty much the same and open easily on the Mac.

  • Is there a way to open two color windows? I want to use both HSB and RGB sliders and have them side by side. If there isn't a way, how would I go about creating my own script for it?

    Here's an example of what I mean:
    http://i.imgur.com/Q5aiHvE.png
    I would have access to both RGB and HSB at the same time instead of constantly switching back and forth. Any input on this matter would greatly help thank you!

    Photoshop only has one Color Palette.  If you could script something  like a Color Palette with  two sets of active sliders the script would be in control till you dismissed its sliders dialog.  You would not be able to do anything but adjust the script's sliders in Photoshop while the script dialog window is being displayed.  Photoshop Scripting does not have real palette dialog type support.
    I do not know what is possible with Photoshop extensions using HTML 5 Panels.....

  • Any way to open new browser window without using image maps?

    Is there any way to open new browser window without using image maps? My code works fine in Firefox, but not in IE. There are 2 problems in IE: 1st is that the thumbnail images move up within their own borders & 2nd that when you click on an image it does open up a new browser window, but also redirects to the index page (in this case it's just a placeholder index page - the new one I've called index_new.html for the time being).
    Here is the link:
    http://www.susieharperdesigns.com/gallery_beads.html
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Your missing a value on the HREF.  In your code you have this:
    <area shape="rect" coords="-24,-9,106,144" href=" " onclick="MM_openBrWindow('gallery_bead1.html','','width=255,height=360')" />
    </map></div>
    and it should be this:
    <area shape="rect" coords="-24,-9,106,144" href="javascript:void()" onclick="MM_openBrWindow('gallery_bead1.html','','width=255,height=360')" />
    </map></div>
    If you fix the code on all your beads, it should work.

  • Opening a Finder window with all of the folders collapsed.

    Is there a way to open a Finder window full of folders with all of the folders collapsed? OSX will remember the fact that you expanded a folder and if you open up a Finder window afterwards it will open with the same folder expanded meaning that you have to collapse it or navigate it.

    With Finder on the Menu bar select File > New Finder Window, use the ⌘ N keys or right click Finder on the Dock and open a New Finder Window.

  • Is there a way to open the right click menu on the left side of your pointer?

    Whenever I try to right-click an object that's located on the right side of the screen, the pointer always automatically click whatever entry in the right-click menu which just happens to be under the pointer the moment the menu is opened. I noticed that the reason this happens is because the right click menu always forces itself to open on the right side of the pointer, and when there isn't enough space, the right-click menu will open underneath the pointer. Since this is horribly inconvenient, is there a way to open the right-click menu on the left side of your pointer?

    Are you saying you have an icon on the far right side and when you rt click on it, your pointer ends up opening wherever it lands? That is a two step process, or normally should be at least a two step process. Do you have a Mouse in your Control Panel? You should check, because there may be some properties with which you can play. For instance, I can switch primary and secondary functions on my mouse buttons by checking a box.
    When I rt click on right side, the menu opens on the left.
    When I rt click on left side, the menu opens on the right.
    In order for me to take an action, I then have to move to an area in that menu and click.
    I hope I understood your question correctly.

  • Is there a way to open the mic using apple remote desktop

    Is there a way to open the mircophone channel using Apple Remote Desktop so I can listen on anything thats happening at my computer at home? If not is there another software that would work?

    Is there a way to open the mircophone channel using Apple Remote Desktop so I can listen on anything thats happening at my computer at home? If not is there another software that would work?
    You would have to launch software that would accept audio from the microphone and transmit it to you in some fashion. ARD does not transmit audio itself. Another remote control solution such as Timbuktu might transmit audio, so you could look into that, perhaps.
    Also is there a way to use apple's software to control and watch a PC?
    You can install a VNC server on the PC and ARD can then take control of the system. It can be tricky to find a VNC system that will work with ARD, though, so search this forum for "VNC" for possible options. One of the applications that support Microsoft's remote desktop architecture such as their own Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac or iTap Mobile RDP will probably work better, though.
