Launch a specific file on startup

Hello everyone,
Is there a way to automatically launch a specific file on startup?
I would like to have an image pop up on my wife's computer when she logs in in the morning. Is this possible? Is there an app to automate this sort of thing? I've looked into the Login Items, but as far as I know it only allows one to launch apps, not specific files.
Thank you so much for your help
Best,
Rui

Hi there,
Thank you for your help. I just found the answer in another post, and you can actually fo it from the Login Items section. Simply click the + sign, select the file to open and voilá
Cheers!

  • Launch Error - This file cannot be launched

    Hi all,
    I renamed a class file in a flash build and now every time I try to debug my project (cmd+F11) I get an error window saying Launch Error - This file cannot be launched.
    I have tried wiping the project and moving the files in to a new one and also restarting FB4 but with no luck. I have also tried setting up a brand new blank project and this will not launch either.
    The problem seems to only be with Flash projects as a new Flex project runs ok.
    I am running Flash Builder 4 , Flash CS5 on a Mac 10.6.4 and debugging in Google Chrome 7.0.517.41
    Any suggestions?
    Cheers

    There is no adl listed in my list of active processes in Activity Monitor. I have tried rebooting my machine, restarting all my software and projects and cleaning my projects. No luck yet.
    If I just switch to flash and run the fla directly it works fine so it must be Flex specific.
    Cheers for the suggestionsso far . Keep em coming if you have them

  • How do i disable automatic launch of open programs on startup

    how do i disable automatic launch of open programs on startup

    It's the Resume feature.
    When choosing Restart, Sleep or Shutdown there is a checkbox you can uncheck to prevent the apps from launching.
    Also in System Preferences > General there is a hard-to-find checkbox under "Number of recent items" you can turn off.
    Also, you can hold the shift key to disable resume on a one time basis.
    You can turn off Resume globally by going to ~/Library/Saved Application State and deleting that folder.
    (note that the User Library is hidden - one way to get there is to go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library")
    To turn off autosave and versions globally
    If you're experiencing slow opening apps or windows since upgrading to ML... as I have... and you don't want your OS to automatically save your TextEdit files, etc. then simply disable Autosave and Versions via Terminal.
    If you don't want autosave or resume you can copy & paste this command into Terminal at the prompt...
    defaults write -g ApplePersistence -bool no
    Press return
    Now reboot.
    The reverse would be "yes".

  • SUP720 load specific config to startup during rommon

    Hello Freinds,
    Wendering if there is any tips to load specific file configuration(from disk0) to startup during rommon load, we need this to avoid "double" reload
    when replacing new RMA SUP720, this will help to load correct config prior IOS loading without need to copy from file to startup config or
    erease startup and copy the correct config while IOS already loaded thus, second reload is required.
    any tips will be appreicated.

    Hello Reza,
    Thanks alot for your support, thus twice reload is required :-(

  • Weird open command stuck under menu bar for just one specific file

    I'm having a weird problem where a little arrow in a small grey box sits under the menu bar, no matter which program is active. If I roll over it, an icon for a quicktime file shows. Clicking it open a specific file. It's one I had dragged to the desktop from the trash. If I click the icon, it opens the file from the trash. If I delete the trash, the little grey box and arrow stays there, pointing to the file in the trash even though it doesn't exist anymore. I cannot get rid of it!
    Here are some screenshots since this is hard to explain.

  • The latest issue of Pages for iPad: 1. Very slow. 2. Late in reacting to typing. 3. When I go to a specific file, informs me that some images were deleted and therefore file has been changed. Then when OPEN option used, opens file slowly. Please, help!

    What I have to do to correct the following problems with Pages app. For iPad:
    Hesitates to display results of typing, some times for 5-6 characters;
    Very slow in opening files;
    Before opening of a specific file displays message: DOCUMENT DETAILS. SOME CHANGES WERE MADE TO YOUR DOCUMENT. SOME IMAGES ARE MISSING BECAUSE THEY WERE DELETED FROM YOUR DOCUMENT. We'll, nothing is missing. But it takes forever to open this file. The previous issue of Pages worked very good. But they would not let me to go back to it. Please, help!

    Tmobile did the exact same thing to me. So that is customer service at work in general. Nice try though lol.
    To the OP
    I see you said You paid for shipping, did you Insure it? Claim insurance on it. If you did not, It may not be Verizon or your fault in the sense of the phone not making it to the warehouse. There are people out in the postal world that will steal phones that are not insured. It could have been a Verizon employee, i suppose.
    But, if this was to be a bought in court, if you shipped it with out insurance, sadly your at fault.
    Do you still have the Serial number of your old phone? If so, you should be able to track where your phone is (if it is reported as a defect/damaged) If so, you may be able to use that as proof. If it does not show up as a defect or what ever they determine use as a loss, then you know it did not make it to the warehouse to be checked in. I would suspect Apple or Verizon could tell you what the Serial number came up as.

  • How to delete a specific file type from a folder

    Hi,
    I have folders with lots of zip or rar files, once I decompress those I want to delete the compressed files specifically. Is there any way I could manage that through Automator?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks Niel for the script, unfortunately I am too ignorant about running these on my own, I did save it in my user script library, but I would need instructions to run it. I would be really grateful.
    I did try making up my own workflow using the given actions in Automator, the first action was to 'find specific files in finder' ending with .zip and .rar and then choosing another action which 'moves selected files to trash'. Unfortunately it ended up running only if I specify the path to the specific .zip file, which defeats the purpose. Any suggestions on the proposed workflow? Thanks in advance.

  • Can I remove a SPECIFIC file from the "Recents" list?

         As far as I can see, Adobe Reader for Android has only the option of clearing ALL the files in the "Recents" list. It doesn't have the option of removing a specific file from the "Recents" list.
         Maybe I'm just missing the option I'm talking about or Adobe Reader doesn't really have that feature.
         Sensible answers to my question will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi iSTULIN
    I assume you can delete the complete list, not the single file ...

  • Cannot delete specific files.

    I am unable to delete certain files, but I can delete others. Finder says "The operation cannot be completed because the item...is in use." I have tried:
    *Alt+Empty Trash
    *Secure delete
    *Empty trash from the Terminal
    *Repair permissions
    *Verify disk
    *Various utilities (Trash it!, OnyX, etc.)
    *Restart
    *Closed all applications
    I have noticed that if I try to delete from the Terminal it says "rm: /Users/mymacrules/.Trash/Cannot Delete/nl.lproj: Directory not empty". I also tried to move one file that would not delete from the trash, this file disappears when I click on it, but is there after restart. As long as that specific file is on the desktop it also makes another folder disappear. Even though I can't see it in Finder I can see it with the "ls" command. Any ideas?

    Right. The rm command by default will not delete nonempty directories. To force it to, use the recursive flag:
    rm -r /Users/mymacrules/.Trash/Cannot Delete/nl.lproj
    But keep in mind that I'm just a Unix person...people like Joshz who know MacOS better than me may know good reasons to not use the Terminal to try to empty the trash.

  • Is it possible to pickup a specific file from a folder?

    Hi
    I am wondering whether it is possible to pick a specific file from a folder. I have a shape where I have got a filename and I need to look for it in a folder.
    Is that possible?
    And how can I achieve this? The next step is to pick the file up and transfer it to another location. So basically in pseudo code I need to ask my defined folder with a filename as parameter. Get the file and move it to another folder.
    Suggestions are most appreciated. Thanks

    Assuming you are using orchestration, you could
    create an assembly, install it in the GAC, add a reference to it in your BTS
    project, and call it from an Expression shape to resolve the receive
    location. You would only really need one static method in a class. Be sure
    to add a reference to Microsoft.BizTalk.ExplorerOM.dll.
    Example:
    using Microsoft.BizTalk.ExplorerOM;
    namespace Phil
    public class OrchestrationHelpers
    public static string ResolveReceiveLocationName(string
    inboundTransportLocation, string receivePortName)
    BtsCatalogExplorer bts = new BtsCatalogExplorer();
    bts.ConnectionString =
    "SERVER=localhost;DATABASE=BizTalkMgmtDb;Trusted_Connection=True;Network
    Library=DBMSSOCN;"
    foreach (ReceiveLocation location in
    bts.ReceivePorts[receivePortName].ReceiveLocations)
    if (location.Address == inboundTransportLocation) return location.Name;
    return null;
    In your Expression shape within your orchestration, assuming a message
    called "MyMessage" and a string variable "receiveLocationName":
    receiveLocationName =
    Phil.OrchestrationHelpers.ResolveReceiveLocationName(MyMessage(BTS.InboundTransportLocation),
    MyMessage(BTS.ReceivePortName));

    Hi,
    Try these 3 solutions
    1. Did you start vncserver services as:
    service vncserver start
    2.Check that port 5901 has not been blocked by a firewall:
    # nc -vz localhost 5901
    You should get a connection and a termination. If you get an error, fix the firewall.
    3. service iptables stop
    Hope This Helps

  • Can we give UNIQUE ACCESS FOR THE SPECIFIC FILE IN THE LIBRARY in SP2013? How can we remove users from SHARED WITH link where files are shared with users?

    Hi,
    Any help on this?
    Thanks
    srabon

    Hi srabon,
    For giving unique access for a specific file in a library, you can go to the library, and select the file , and click FILES->Shared With->ADVANCED, under PERMISSION ribbon, click ‘Stop Inheriting Permissions’, then the file will have unique permissions.
    For removing the shared users for a file, firstly, like the above steps, select the file , and click FILES->Shared With->ADVANCED , make sure the file has unique access, then select the users that you want to remove, and click Remove User Persmissions
    under PERMISSIONS ribbon.
    I hope this helps.
