Local Settings

Hi,
How to access a users local settings folder in a domain computer.
"c:\users\username\Local Settings"
When ever I try to access this folder is shows a message "Access Denied".
Is there any way to access this folder.
Even I'm having administrator rights I'm unable to access.
I had created administrator access on PC also but still I'm facing the same.
It's would be helpful if any suggestion received.

Hi,
What's your domain user permission? You need add domain user access to local user's profile as below steps:
1. Logon to the computer using the domain account.
2. Logout from the domain account.
3. Logon using a different domain account with administrative rights on the computer.
4. Browse to the local user's profile at c:\users\<LocalUserName>.
5. Right-click the profile folder, select Properties and then the Security tab.
6. Click the Edit->Add button and add the domain user with Full Control permissions. (If this fails with an Access Denied message, then first take ownership of the folder, also using the Security tab but within the Advanced button, and then re-attempt
the step.)
7. Click the Advanced button and select the option to replace permissions on all child objects.
8. Click OK until all permissions have been applied and you are out of the Properties dialog.

Is there a way from where I can restore my profile from a back-up that I took from a folder (e.g \Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\)

Before re-installing Firefox 19, I mistakenly took backup of my profile from a folder - C:\Documents and Settings\garan14\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles and not from C:\Documents and Settings\garan14\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles.
While installing, I selected "Delete the old profiles" option and I don't see any old profile folder under C:\Documents and Settings\garan14\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles.
However, I have a lot of important data saved under that profile which now has got deleted.
Is there any way I can still restore the data from old profile? (P.S.: As mentioned above, I have a back-up of profile folder which resides under Local Settings folder)
I am in a desperate need for the help. Pls reply as soon as possible.

i have some problem. i delete firefox profile and i cannot use mozilla right now. can you help me ? thank you

Locale Settings lost on mobile client 7.8.2.14 after creation of BIP report

Hi All,
we went live with BI Publisher reports (Siebel 7.8.2.14) at the beginning of June.
Now some of our users are having trouble with their mobile web client.
For example our colleagues in Poland have their Windows XP regional settings set to "Polish". It will make Siebel use date format for all date fields (e.g. activity start date) display as YYYY-MM-DD - this works just fine until user is creating a BIP report. After successfull report creation, all locale settings in the mobile client are lost. Instead of YYYY-MM-DD, the dates are displayed in DD.MM.YYYY and creation of new records produces and error. Also, currency and number formats are mixed up.
I assume it's a bug - anyone hit this before?
Edited by: Penky on Jun 17, 2011 11:38 AM

Yes, we finally decided to do so!
The main reason was that we had a lot of new report change requests and did not want to do the work twice (now in Actuate and then again in BIP). Also we plan our 8.x upgrade for second half of 2011 so this was already some kind of preparation, so we can completely focus on the upgrade afterwards and don't need to hassle around with the reports as well.
issues we're still facing include "user's are not able to run reports after they change their position" or "List reports can only be run for few records, otherwise the search spec hit's an IO field's length limitation" or "report popup can not be suppressed although there's no useful information in it" (not to forget the one described in this thread) and some others.
Well ... after 1 1/2 years since I downloaded the first integration QF the BIP journey still does not end - it's like it just started :)

JVM bug with Turkish locale settings (windows)

Hello,
There is a serious bug in all versions of java virtual machine. When you set your locale settings to Turkish language, you can not install & use database driven java applications (that needs to create a database). For example; you can't install oracle 9i or 10g, ORA-12560 arises in database creation phase; and you can't install Readerware (a book cataloger), it locks-up in database creation phase, too. Ofcourse when you change your language to English or another language the problem goes away.
I found that the source of the problem is JVM's wrong character mapping. It fails to convert Turkish and English "i" and "I" characters correctly (they're different in Turkish).
Is there anybody to fix this issue in the next release ?
Thanks,...

I logged a bug about Java's Turkish Collator implementation: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4688797.
I'm not sure if your issue would fall into the same category. It looks like a separate bug to me, although closely related.
Try logging that bug, or adding this to the bug above.

When I download a jpg picture to Photoshop Elements Editor the file is stored in Documents & Settings/My Name/Local Settings/Temp but I cannot find this location on my computer.

The pictures are attached to e-mail messages. I can get as far as Documents and Settings and my name but there is no Local Settings folder shown. Using MS search with the name of the file gives nothing. I use Windows XP and Mozilla Firefox. The file appears in Photoshop Elements and I can save it as a psd file but I cannot find either the jpg or the psd files to move them into My Pictures.

The Local Settings folder is a hidden folder.
(1) If the file appears in the Downloads manager (Tools menu or Ctrl+j), you can right-click it and use Open Containing Folder to get directly to it.
(2) To be able to see hidden folders on Windows XP in general, try this:
Open My Computer or Windows Explorer
Tools > Folder Options > View tab
Scroll down and look for the checkbox regarding hidden files and folders and unhide them.
Hopefully this will resolve the issue. Any luck?
(3) By the way, you may be able to save the images from the email message to a more convenient location by right-clicking the links and using Save Link As. (Before you open them for editing.)

How to save status bar background color in local settings(Windows Phone 8.1)

I have given the user the freedom to change background colour and save it in local settings. But I am confused on how to save the status bar colour settings because I want to give the user the freedom to choose from 4-5 colours where background of status bar
can be changed.
public static void SaveStatusBarColor()
// get status bar color
var statusBar = StatusBar.GetForCurrentView();
var color = statusBar.BackgroundColor;
// convert color to hex string
var hexCode = color.HasValue ? color.Value.ToString() : "";
// store color in local settings
ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings.Values["StatusBarColor"] = hexCode;
public static void LoadStatusBarColor()
// get color hex string from local settings
var hexCode = ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings.Values["StatusBarColor"] as string;
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(hexCode))
return;
// convert hexcode to color
var color = new Color();
color.A = byte.Parse(hexCode.Substring(1, 2), NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier);
color.R = byte.Parse(hexCode.Substring(3, 2), NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier);
color.G = byte.Parse(hexCode.Substring(5, 2), NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier);
color.B = byte.Parse(hexCode.Substring(7, 2), NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier);
// set the status bar color
var statusBar = StatusBar.GetForCurrentView(); // Exception Line
statusBar.BackgroundColor = color;
}This is what was suggested to me. Initially the app runs and saves the settings.But when the app is closed and restarted again it crashes.

Hi shriyansh,
Where did you call the method SaveStatusBarColor() and LoadStatusBarColor()?
I have called your SaveStatusBarColor() in the OnNavigatedFrom method and called the LoadStatusBarColor() in the OnNavigatedTo method, it worked very well in my side.
So I can not reproduce your issue.
Here are my code and result, please try to check it:
public class test
public Color colors { get; set; }
public sealed partial class MainPage : Page
List<test> testdemo = new List<test>();
public MainPage()
this.InitializeComponent();
testdemo.Add(new test() { colors = Colors.Red });
testdemo.Add(new test() { colors = Colors.Green});
testdemo.Add(new test() { colors = Colors.Gray});
testdemo.Add(new test() { colors = Colors.Blue });
this.NavigationCacheMode = NavigationCacheMode.Required;
public static void SaveStatusBarColor()
// get status bar color
var statusBar = StatusBar.GetForCurrentView();
var color = statusBar.BackgroundColor;
// convert color to hex string
var hexCode = color.HasValue ? color.Value.ToString() : "";
// store color in local settings
ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings.Values["StatusBarColor"] = hexCode;
public static void LoadStatusBarColor()
//get color hex string from local settings
var hexCode = ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings.Values["StatusBarColor"] as string;
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(hexCode))
return;
// convert hexcode to color
var color = new Color();
color.A = byte.Parse(hexCode.Substring(1, 2), NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier);
color.R = byte.Parse(hexCode.Substring(3, 2), NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier);
color.G = byte.Parse(hexCode.Substring(5, 2), NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier);
color.B = byte.Parse(hexCode.Substring(7, 2), NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier);
var statusBar = StatusBar.GetForCurrentView();
statusBar.BackgroundColor = color;
statusBar.BackgroundOpacity = 1;
protected override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)
LoadStatusBarColor();
protected override void OnNavigatedFrom(NavigationEventArgs e)
SaveStatusBarColor();
private void ChangeColorButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
var statusBar = StatusBar.GetForCurrentView();
statusBar.BackgroundColor = testdemo[Convert.ToInt32(Mytextbox.Text)].colors;
statusBar.BackgroundOpacity = 1;
The result:

Firefox is creating endless copies of C:\Documents and Settings\Catain Kirk\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\afbrfhnj.default\Cache ... how do I stop it

I just installed 9.0.1 and it continually creates copies of C:\Documents and Settings\Catain Kirk\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\afbrfhnj.default\Cache ... how do I stop it !!!
I'm running Windows XP Version 5.1 SP3.

Hi,
That is the disk cache of Firefox, where contents of loaded pages are kept for faster retrieval and it also helps to conserve bandwidth. To disable this: '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > '''Advanced''' > '''Network''', check (tick) '''Override automatic cache management ''' and put the value at zero.

Can external users change their language, time zone, and locale settings?

Hi,
We’re migrating our hosts from WebEx cloud to our on-prem solution right now (CWMS 1.5.1.323.A).
We’ve learned that CWMS 1.5 does not provide an online address book where hosts could customize language, time zone, and locale settings for their external attendees.
Do external users have any chance at all to change their language, time zone and locale settings individually?
Thank you,
Helge

Hi Dejan,
"external users" are those participants, who do not have an LDAP account in our deployment, since they are not intendet to act as hosts: our stakeholders, partners, customers, clients.
It looks, as if these people would stick to the systems' default language / time zone / locale.
We are wondering if there might be a CWMS-component like this:
https://artcom.webex.com/cmp0307l/webcomponents/widget/preference.do?serviceType=MC&siteurl=artcom&target=Page&backUrl=%2Fmw0307l%2Fmywebex%2Fdefault.do%3Fsiteurl%3Dartcom%26service%3D1
to allow those "extenal" participants to make their adjustments.
Thank you,
Helge

Someone please post their HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppModel\Repository from their registry.

The title says it all somehow my HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppModel\Repository got deleted so i need someone to send me theirs (windows 8 only please!) This has
caused all apps to be disabled so please HELP. Thanks in advance!

I fixed it myself.
You have to create a new user account. Now you might say that this is impossible due to the fact that the "PC Settings" app is disabled, but you can use the command prompt an a workaround.
1st step: right-click the bottom left of your screen and select "Command Prompt (Admin)"
2nd step: type "net user /add NEWUSERNAME NEWPASSWORD" without the quotes and hit enter
3rd step: if you get the success message type "net user NEWUSERNAME /active on
Now Logoff and go to your new account and apps should work!
You might to remove your old account from control panel and user accounts. There is an option to save the files from your old account to the desktop of your new account. Hope this helps you.

Error Saving Localized Settings mean?

In the last month or so, I have received the following message when trying to open videos on the web and even my local weather forecast:
"Error Saving Localized Settings
Application is unable to access your file system "
I get it in Safari (6.0.5) as well as Firefox.
What does it mean?

Good morning:
This is not a new problem as evidenced by some web blogs going back three years.
It started when I disabled Java Script......the victim of a lot of cautionary items on its security issues.
Then odd things wouldn't play such as the hour-by-hour temperature display on a local TV station's site.
And occasional video links off reputable news sites. But not Youtube. Safari and Firefox are both afflicted.
I enabled Java, repaired disk permissions (which I do on a regural basis) plus a few other tricks I know.
Upgrades, etc., all up to date.
No luck.
I have had three I-Macs over 13 years and Apple Care for 12 of those years. Gawd how I miss 'em!
I'll try your suggestions.
Thank you!

Local settings for clients with print drivers installed on server?

Greetings,
We have a Windows Server 2012 R2 that has a print driver installed and shared (Xerox 560 ~ Fiery driver).
Clients map to this driver. I.E. they add printer from network and select it from the list.
However, because its mapped, they can't edit the driver or save their settings locally (for example: the accounting code is set in the properties of the driver and not in the preferences).
If they do, as admin, then those changes percolate back up to the sever driver and then to all clients.
My question is how do I get the clients to manage their own local settings, these settings being found in the properties of the print driver and not in the preferences?
I need to be able to set things that are set on the properties (and not preferences) of the driver locally on their computer, but I don't want to have to install the driver manually on every client.
Is their a way to have a local version of the properties page?
Is this possible?
Thank you for letting me know.
Antoine

may need to set the server as print server...

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

MSI files in Local Settings directory after JDK install

The JDK and JRE installers are leaving these giant .msi files (40+ MB for JDKs, 8-9MB for JREs) in c:\Documents and Settings\shankar\Local Settings\Application Data\{Long-Hex-Number-version}\
But they don't get removed when the JDK and JRE are removed. What's with them? Are they safe to delete? (The old ones - corresponding to JDKs I've removed (via Add/Remove Programs!) - should certainly be safe to delete - how about the ones for the currently installed JDK and JRE(s)?)

To answer myself in part, I just saw this bug: http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4760174.html. So clearly the old files can be deleted.
The question now is - how about the files corresponding to the versions currently installed - are they needed?

Change the Locale settings when scheduling the report with an Excel format?

Hi,
My reports have been scheduled with Excel format, however, when the report is viewed in Excel, the date fields are in the format "mm/dd/yyyy" i.e. English(United States) and they need to be in the format "dd/mm/yyyy" i.e. English (Ireland).
I am wondering if there is any way to change the Locale settings within Business Objects?
For the time being users have been advised to manually change the format within excel, however, this is not the preferred option.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
The cell format is set as "Date dd/mm/yyyy" but it still runs as an Excel doc with the format mm/dd/yyyy.
When I schedule the report to run as a Web Intelligence document and then manually export it to Excel, the Date format is correct i.e. dd/mm/yyyy.
Any more ideas?
Regards.

[SOLVED]Firefox 21 swedish locale settings not working.

Firefox does not recognize my swedish locale settings after updating today. Is it just me or is it a bug? I have "firefox-i18n-sv-se" installed.

It seems to be a bug because the German translation isn't working either.
Installing the xpi file (/usr/lib/firefox/extensions/) manually by dragging it into the addons manager works though.
