Kiosk: how to prevent an application from being minimized?  (WinXP)

Hi,
I have a desktop application that runs full screen, using opengl, for a turnkey kiosk on Windows XP. I'm having this strange problem with the app minimizing itself as soon as it launches. Here's the scenario:
1. boot
2. auto login
3. app launches
4. app minimizes itself to the taskbar
5. developer gnashes teeth
When the app is re-maximized, it runs fine and doesn't do this again.
When it's launches normally (not from the startup folder) it behaves fine.
When you just log out and log in, it behaves fine - this is only exhibited on first boot.
This wouldn't be a big problem but the app is for a turnkey museum kiosk with no mouse or keyboard, so it needs to launch and run smoothly without any user interaction.
The issue's described well by another developer here:
http://processing.org/discourse/yabb_beta/YaBB.cgi?board=Integrate;action=display;num=1156614434
(I'm using Processing).
This behavior doesn't repeat with other applications, only with fullscreen, opengl java applications that I make in Processing.
I've tried the workaround in the above thread (running an external window control app as a subprocess in response to the focusLost() event, which works but not reliably for me.
Is this behavior something that has to do with Java? Has anyone else seen this before? How do you normally go about making kiosk-type applications in java?
thanks for any suggestions ...

Yes, I put a shortcut into the startup folder (Documents and Settings/default/Start Menu/Programs/Startup) or whatever it's called.
I tried Fullscreen and Normal, neither one made any difference. The app does run fullscreen, it just gets minimized shortly after launch. Sometimes it minimizes immediately, sometimes it waits a few seconds and then minimizes.

  • How to prevent ipad apps from being stored in the iCloud and how to bring them back to the iPad

    I have an iPad Mini Retina with 128GB of storage.  I purchased about a dozen apps and it gets stored in the iCloud and I don't know how to access them on the cloud storage.  Plus I have many apps from me itouch that I use and they are also stored on the iCloud. 
    How can I prevent further apps that I buy from gettting transfer to the iCloud?
    How can I download my existing apps that I purchase and that are from my itouch that are stored in the iCloud into my iPad?
    How do I access my iCloud storage from my iPad?
    Thanks.

    You make it sound like apps are disappearing from your iPad and uploading to iCloud. That's not how it works. Maybe somebody (or you) deleted the apps and you don't realize it.
    You cannot prevent apps from being stored in iCloud. That is one of the reasons for using iCloud. It will store all of your purchased apps and you will be able to download them if you delete them, or if you buy another device that you want to use the apps on.
    If you have apps that are in iCloud, just go to the Purchased Tab in the app store, tap on the Not on this iPad button at the top. Look for any of the apps that you want to download and then tap the cloud icon in order to download them to the iPad. You access your iCloud storage in the purchased tabs of the different stores or in the apps themselves. Any data that is being backed up in iCloud is on the device in the corresponding apps and you don't need to access that data in iCloud. It's at your fingertips already,
    Purchased apps do NOT count against your iCloud storage. If you have 60GB of apps, they do not take up the alloted 5GB of free storage that you get. The app data would count against the storage but not the apps themselves.

  • TS3276 On received mail, I delete sender's name, address, etc. then forward it.  The forwarded mail has a duplicate of the original mail, show original sender's name, etc.  How to prevent the duplicate from being sent?

    How to prevent duplicate of orginal mail (with original sender's name, address) being "attached" when forwarded?

    Maybe I am mis-understanding what you are seeing.
    When I forward a message, the receiver will see the original mail (unless I edit it, such as removing any previous sender's information) and the length will be the same as the message was before forwarding except for the added line "Begin forwarded message" (again, unless I edit bits out), and there will be no attached copy of the original message.
    So when you say in your reply above "The orginal email with the sender's name and address was also sent with my forwarded email." do you mean:
    a) that it is still visible at the head of the text of the message (which I was saying does not happen for me because "after hitting delete, the previous sender's information disappears." [and since] "it has disappeared, it cannot be in your forwarded mail." Disappeared means it is not there.
    b) another copy of the original message is attached to the forwarded email at the end, either as an included file or as repeated text.
    c) some other situation.
    Sorry about the previous mis-spellings! I hope that we can get to the bottom of this.

  • How to prevent one application from touching the in use Environment?

    Hi, all,
    I have an application opening an Environment and using it well. However, this application may have multiple instance in our system. Once another instance touches the environment it will destroy the former's environment.
    My question is how to detect one environment which located in a fixed directory is being in use? If we could detect this, we can prevent the latter instance from touching the environment then.
    Thanks in advance.

    There are DB_CREATE and DB_EXCL flags for DB_ENV->open function, if you specify the OR of them both, you will get what you want: only create the environment if it is not created.
    On the other hand, multiple applications can join the same db environment if their configuration to the environment is compatible; if you are sharing an environment handle, use DB_THREAD in DB_ENV->open, see this for using Berkeley DB in multi-threads: http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/ref/program/mt.html

  • 0FI_GL_4 - How to prevent open items from being archived (SARA)

    Hello,
    We would like to archive data from our 0FI_GL_4 InfoCube using the SARA transaction. We can only specify a date as the criteria for archiving (e.g. the posting date). However, we may still have open items (that are candidate for archiving based on the posting date) that shouldn't actually be archived because they may be cleared at a later date. I am surprised that SAP doesn't provide a standard mechanism to handle the open items in archiving. Has anybody faced this situation ? Any solution ?
    Many thanks.
    François.

    Hello Francios,
    In BW Archiving, there are no business complete rules, so GL items that are "open" in R3, would get archived in BW.  Another thing to consider in your BW archiving strategy is that when a fiscal year of data is archived, a write protection is placed for that time period.  So, if you need to load data into that object, the data that has been archived would need to be reloaded prior to being able to run the load job.  Then, the data would need to be re-archived.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to prevent email id from being used to send out bogus emails?

    My yahoo email id was "hijacked" last week and bogus emails were sent out under my id to my contact list. I have a macbook with snow leopard and norton antivirus. What can I do to prevent this from happening again.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    If you haven't already done so, change your Yahoo password to something extremely secure.
    Then go to Yahoo's recommendations for compromised accounts, found here:
    http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?page=content&y=PROD_MAIL_CLASSIC&locale=en_US&id= SLN3420&pir=.ERun_NibUlqprOy6AQ5KLRAOrUdr0acOZBh12BjZ6uUgTx7O5KFy_g3RVY.usintguY mSbHjESfUDXQC_FwPo2Cxt_KEGnx3QnKIu6C7_5._vmX207fxMRD53yXCsEdulnEIA1af.bHN_fWp2R_ tQ_5VnaDSXZv1mCvr1ctsfKaP._9hTnsSqrM4SMQ6b_tNq7QQHsysg1qM14mLsADfJLF2DZmVIYIPDpo hK15cCGe_JhidaJ1Vxt5O07TuhoshHRCrQ3eaa0gkp6dnbqceRgKRWuaLKDL7L6ovGban7n4UzFvdWWp x4TDgNxgLv3ehjmTj0.Hnh1lHKWL6cG6iJ0E1xjY_jfBAX3d2cwKpgTDV_AI8T25LElgA_upWicMBpj_ OjZ9sk9asfCbAOTXnQ--
    It's likely the hacker sent spam to your Yahoo-account email addresses, without accessing your Mac Address Book. (Most of the time it's hard to tell, because you probably have many of the same addresses in both lists.)
    Next, change your password on EVERY account.
    Make certain that every site you visit as a registered user has a unique account name and password.
    Yeah, that can be a lot to manage.
    Let your Mac 'Keychain' help manage all that information by remembering which user ID and which secure password goes where. There are password manager programs for sale such as 1Password. I don't currently use it, so I can't recommend it.
    In my experience, there is ongoing and widespread 'hacking' at Yahoo, Hotmail, and other popular free email accounts. Why? Because most free email accounts permit unlimited unsuccessful login attempts and never 'lock' accounts for suspicious activity the way banks and brokerage firms do.
    So far, the hackers are primarily using the accounts send out 'spam' to your trusted email list.
    Hacking most often occurs when someone discovers or guesses the password to the email account, and it's about 99% certain that it had nothing to do with your MacBook, or any malware or virus on your physical computer. No, it doesn't hurt to run a virus and/or malware scan, but it is 99% unlikely you'll find anything harmful to OS X. You may discover a few of your incoming email attachments DO contain Windows viruses and malware!
    Virtually everyone I correspond with via a free Yahoo account has been 'hacked' in the last six months. Three Yahoo friends sent me the same 'no subject' email with a surreptitious link to a FoxNews video about weight-loss in the same day!
    When thousands or millions of passwords and/or account names are revealed and posted online (as documented here:http://www.latimes.com/business/technology/la-fi-tn-eharmony-hacked-linkedin-201 20606,0,4578300.story ) enterprising hackers worldwide will begin systematically testing them everywhere.
    If your email address is widely-used and widely-published and your password is not very secure, every account you have is eventually vulnerable.
    DO USE a combination of upper and lower-case letters mixed with numbers and permitted punctuation that does not contain common sequences, names, or dictionary words.
    If you don't want to buy software, use the first letters and numbers of phrases that are easy for you to remember, but meaningful only to you. The longer the phrase, the better:
    MyLimeGreen72DodgeDartHadA340Six-PackEngineAndATorque-FliteTranny!
    MLG72DDha340S-PEaaT-FT!
    Of course I don't actually use that, but yeah, there are still a few of those cars around: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUk0jdmAKzM

  • ICloud Photo Library: How to prevent some photos from being uploaded/synced?

    When iCloud Photo Library is on, every photo will be auto-uploaded and synced to all linked devices/computers, is there any way to specify which ones not to be uploaded? I know I can 'hide' photos so they won't appear in 'All photos', but they are still accessable from Albums.

    No you can't be selective with what gets uploaded to the cloud. You might consider having a second library for photos you don't want in the cloud.

  • [Flex 4.5.1] How to prevent Radio Button from being selected when clicked on? No Changing Event?

    I have a very common use case where you have a few radio buttons and only one can be selected at a time. Some of them are basic and on click should be selected right away, but other are more complex and open a pop up which requires some additional user selections after which the user selected OK or CANCEL for example and only after that the selection of the radio button should be applied programatically.
    So to solve this issue I've come up with 2 workarounds:
    1) make the entire group, that holds the radio button, act as a button with buttonMode="true" mouseChildren="false" and programatically change the radio button within it.
    2) hold the current radio button selection in a variable and in the changeHandler of that radio button return the selection back to what was selected before. But this also causes a small flickering of the radio button which gets selected and deselected immediately after that.. not cool.
    So my question is... is there something I am missing that could do the job without these workarounds... like a Changing event which I use for the ButtonBar but I can't find on the RadioButton or RadioButtonGroup... thanks!

    Hi,thanks for the reply. Actually that was my third option, but not sure if it's very good also..
    Here is a simple scenario:
    User must select between 2 radio buttons:
    1) no volume -> sets variable volume=0 and selects the radio button (that is the normal use case)
    2) set volume -> opens up a pop up with a list that has a X button to close and 4 options: 25% volume, 50% volume, 75%, 100%
    At this point the set volume radio button should not be selected and the user has 2 choices:
    -> hit the X button to close - nothing changes and no volume radio button is still selected and volume is still = 0
    -> hit one of the volume % buttons -> the set volume radio button gets selected and the variable volume=25/50/75/100 depending on the button selected by the user.
    That's a pretty common scenario and it's bugging me that I can't easily alter the radio button selection logic since whenever I click it, it gets selected and I can't put a logic in between in a standard way. This should apply to any component with selection, just like ButtonBar has it with the Changing event.
    So is there any other more convenient way to accomplish this scenario that you could recommend?
    Thanks!

  • Re: How do I keep an application from being started morethan once?

    Here are some quick ideas. None of them should be too hard to implement,
    although each has some drawbacks.
    1. Have a login server track who is logged on, and if there is already a
    logon for a given user or a given machine, then deny the application
    startup. The nice thing about this is that a user will not be able to have
    multiple logins even by going to another machine. Then again, this may not
    be so nice, and you also get a possible single point of failure on the
    login server for which you will have to prepare.
    2. Drop to the operating system, and get a list of processes for the client
    machine. If the name of one of them matches the name of application that
    is being run, then deny startup. This avoids a network hit, but requires
    some OS specific code. Also, a clever user could change the name of an
    executable to get around this. Note that a user could have another login
    on another machine.
    3. Write to a file on the local machine. You can hide the file in some
    suitable place, and can also scramble some information so that a user
    cannot get around having this file present by reading from the file at
    startup and then writing to it. Based on the state of your application,
    the file will have some scrambled information indicating if an instance of
    an application can be started. If you retain the write lock (i.e. do not
    close) the file for the duration of the application, you increase your
    security at the risk of a confused user if the application gets terminated
    without releasing the lock. Depending on the OS where the client will run,
    this could be an issue. If you like this option, perform some experiments
    first on all configurations of an example client machine to determine the
    behavior. Again, this only works to prevent an extra login on a single
    machine, not system wide.
    If you are not concerned about your users hacking around too much and don't
    care about a login on another machine, I would opt for some version of
    number 3. Otherwise, I would venture number 1.

    Subject: Re: How do I keep an application from being started more than

    Martin,
    there are two ways to read your question
    (a) no more than one instance of an application per machine
    (b) no more than one instance of an application per "user"
    now if a user has only one machine, and your system has "userids" and you
    only want
    one active "session" per "user" then the distinction is irrelevant.
    However, many systems
    let people share logins, so a token based thing enforcing one login will be
    problematic.
    The downside of #1 approach suggested by Curtis happens when a machine gets
    hosed without "logging" the user off the security system, then they can't
    get in until their ticket expires or a sysadmin gets involved. Should be
    manageable, however. But this enforces one application
    instance per user, unless you check both for the presence of an active
    token for that user as well as the presence of a token tied to that
    particular node name. Otherwise there is nothing to prevent the same user
    from launching the app again and logging in as a different user. This is
    definitely the best approach of the bunch, and can be adapted for either
    (a) or (b).
    Suggestion # 2 won't work unless the application is built as a compiled
    client,
    since the process name will be 'ftexec' and not the "name" of the
    application. And it doesn't
    prevent a user from launching the app from a different machine (or people
    sharing logins). So again it depends on what you are trying to achieve.
    #3 also only prevents multiple instances per machine, not necessarily by
    user. Of course
    most people don't have multiple machines. The point is that you may be
    trying to
    prevent your users from sharing logins. In which case the file thing won't
    do it.
    Some other ideas:
    1. You could, however, enforce one application per machine using the
    installed partition agent's ExecutingPartition instrument name. As long as
    the user doesn't run the app in a different environment, you can have the
    app check at startup time if there is another
    ActivePartition running under the same InstalledPartition name.
    (ActivePartitions are child agents
    of InstalledPartitions).
    2. use the ObjectLocationManager and bind a simple object into the naming
    system using a naming scheme such as
    /MyApplication/MyNode or
    /MyApplication/MyUserId
    the presence of either one would indicate that another instance of that
    application is running on either that machine or that user. Of course
    these have to be cleaned out, and subject to similar downside as
    alternative #1. So you'd essentially be using the forte naming system as a
    distributed lock manager (ouch).
    3. Have the application remove the shortcut to launch it upon startup, and
    recreate it when it is finished, or move it to a hidden place. There it
    is - the worst idea I've ever come up with. Don't
    do this!

    Subject: Re: How do I keep an application from being started more than
    once?
    Here are some quick ideas. None of them should be too hard to implement,
    although each has some drawbacks.
    1. Have a login server track who is logged on, and if there is already a
    logon for a given user or a given machine, then deny the application
    startup. The nice thing about this is that a user will not be able to have
    multiple logins even by going to another machine. Then again, this may not
    be so nice, and you also get a possible single point of failure on the
    login server for which you will have to prepare.
    2. Drop to the operating system, and get a list of processes for the client
    machine. If the name of one of them matches the name of application that
    is being run, then deny startup. This avoids a network hit, but requires
    some OS specific code. Also, a clever user could change the name of an
    executable to get around this. Note that a user could have another login
    on another machine.
    3. Write to a file on the local machine. You can hide the file in some
    suitable place, and can also scramble some information so that a user
    cannot get around having this file present by reading from the file at
    startup and then writing to it. Based on the state of your application,
    the file will have some scrambled information indicating if an instance of
    an application can be started. If you retain the write lock (i.e. do not
    close) the file for the duration of the application, you increase your
    security at the risk of a confused user if the application gets terminated
    without releasing the lock. Depending on the OS where the client will run,
    this could be an issue. If you like this option, perform some experiments
    first on all configurations of an example client machine to determine the
    behavior. Again, this only works to prevent an extra login on a single
    machine, not system wide.
    If you are not concerned about your users hacking around too much and don't
    care about a login on another machine, I would opt for some version of
    number 3. Otherwise, I would venture number 1.

  • How to lockdown and prevent add-ons from being installed?

    Hi. I'd like to lockdown an installation of Firefox on a Win XP computer, to prevent add-ons from being installed by limited account users. How do I accomplish this please?

    Use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify default values.
    Place a file local-settings.js in the defaults\pref folder where you also find the file channel-prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg.
    pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
    pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
    You can use these functions in mozilla.cfg:
    defaultPref(); // set new default value
    pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
    lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes
    lockPref("xpinstall.enabled", false);

    How can I stop emails from being sent without my hitting the "send" key.

    Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
    If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.
