Make XFCE4 default for all users

I got Arch up and running with XFCE4. its great so far
I am using either xdm or wdm as my login manager (havent decided which i want yet)
I added a ".xinitrc" file to my home folder so that XFCE4 will start when I log in. is there a way to make XFCE4 the default wm for all new users without having to add a .xinitrc file to all of their home folders? I only plan on using XFCE4 so I dont need the login manager to load other wm's. but i would like to be able to add users and have their session automatically start as XCFE. all i have found by googling and on LQ.org is making a .xinitrc file, but these seem to lean toward a single user system. there has to be an easier way, ie with fedora when you make a new user, log out and log in as the new user and it will start the default wm, or you can choose whichever wm you want to use.
im using arch 0.7.2 'gimmick' and all packages have been updated

If you just edit the skeleton file for <code>.xinitrc</code>, then for each user that is created, it will automatically be set to run xfce. The location of the file is <code>/etc/skel/.xinitrc</code> if that answers your question.

How to make custom append search help tab default for all users?

I've implemented my own search help append and I need to make the F4 search help to display my tab as default for all users. I know that search help stores the last tab used by the user in memory and when user uses the search help next time the last used tab is displayed but I have to make the system display the tab od my search help append always as default tab. Any idea how to do it?

hi
Enhancement using Append structures
 Append structures allow you to attach fields to a table without actually having to modify the table itself. You can use the fields in append structures in ABAP programs just as you would any other field in the table.
Click on the append structure tab and opt to create new
structure.
Append structures allow you to enhance tables by adding fields to them that are not part of the standard. With append structures; customers can add their own fields to any table or structure they want.
Append structures are created for use with a specific table. However, a table can have multiple append structures assigned to it
 Customers can add their own fields to any table or structure they want.
The customer creates append structures in the customer namespace. The append structure is thus protected against overwriting during an upgrade. The fields in the append structure should also reside in the customer namespace, that is the field names should begin with ZZ or YY. This prevents name conflicts with fields inserted in the table by SAP

Enable save for all users in rich client document defaultly for all users

Hi,
Is there a option to enable save for all users in a rich client document defaultly for all users across the company. As the users who are creating reports are forgetting to check the box before sending the rich client document to others. Kindly let me know if you have any suggestions on this.
Thanks,
Karthik

I'd suggest that is is where your BO folder structure comes in. You can export from Rich Client to any folder that you have permissions to access - some sort of collaboration folder system would potentially be better and more secure than sending unsecured reports via email. If your IT security team found out that you were removing document security, I doubt they'd be impressed!
You can't do the default save for all users, simple as that (it's bad practice anyway, which is probably why you can't). While it's not the answer that you want to hear, it is the correct one.

How to make custom icc color profile work as default for all users?

Hi!
I've calibrated two monitors for the machine running Mavericks OS X. I've managed to move these custom icc color profiles to ColorSync folder in HDD Library, so that that they are available for all the users. However, I cannot figure out how to make these icc profiles work as default profiles for all users and not only the one I used to calibrate monitors.
Is there a specific place I have to put custom icc profile to make it system default?
Thank you!

If you put the profiles in the root /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/ folder, then each user needs to select them in their account. There isn't a way to apply them globally so each account automatically comes up that way.

Make application visible for all users

New user of Imac..... Different users set on my IMac. How to make new applications visible by all users ?
thanks

Any application installed on the computer by default is usable by all the users. If you have an app you want in each users Dock that isn't there by default here are instructions. Locate the app in the Applications folder and drag it to the Dock for each user.
As someone new to OS X, I'd recommend bookmarking and using:

Vim reasonable defaults for all users.

now the vim package keeps a less-than-minimal set of default settings. So keeping the old default as starting point I made what I think is a reasonable default:
" Use Vim settings, rather then Vi settings (much better!).
" This must be first, because it changes other options as a side effect.
set nocompatible
" allow backspacing over everything in insert mode
set backspace=indent,eol,start

set incsearch " do incremental searching
set listchars=tab:˛\ ,trail:┈ " show trail spaces and tabs

Hi, I think this is not a bad idea. I do like using listchars to show tabs and trailing spaces like that, but I think that using commoly used characters like _ is confusing. If you go into vim and use the :digraph command you can see lots of special characters which are useful IMO for listchars. I use set listchars=tab:→,trail:¸, but I don't know if they'd be best for everyone. But I think it is clearer than using normal keyboard characters.

Font Book. Can you make Font Collections for all users?

I set up a few font collections. Now when I login as another user, these font collections are not available. Each user seems to have to set up their own collections.
Is there any way to set up font collections that all users may be able to access?
This would be handy if all the users wanted the same collections. Is this possible?

If you just edit the skeleton file for <code>.xinitrc</code>, then for each user that is created, it will automatically be set to run xfce. The location of the file is <code>/etc/skel/.xinitrc</code> if that answers your question.

Comments on MacBook Pages– how can I make them visible for all users?

When I use Pages on my MacBook, the comments show up as black text in a yellow box on my computer, but when I export it as a .doc and email it to others, it shows up as white text on yellow for some PC users. This makes it hard for them to read my feedback. Why does it do this? How can I prevent it?

How to set default User preferences in Analyzer for all users

How to set default User preferences in Analyzer for all users Hi, I would like to set some settings in Analyzer as default for all users. For example: 1. Display | Char 2. right mouse click on char | Chart Properties 3. Axes tab 4. "Format: Currency" i would like to change to "Format: Number". How to set default values to all users? Is this possible? Thanks, Grofaty

I'm pretty sure higher access superceedes, so you could set up a group with no actual access, just to get the preferences working, then their individual security will dictate what they can do. I haven't tested this fully, but I beleive this is how it will work. As far as setting the preferences, go into the admin console and right click on the group, then select Preferences. To apply the group preferences to a user, add the user to the group, then right click on the user, select preferences and from the upper left corner, use the drop down to select the active preference, in this case, it will be the group you created and added them to.

Set a default layout for all users via DIAPI

Hello everyone,
I am attempting to set a default report for all users/business partners using the DI-API.
I can accomplish this in the B1 application via Tools> Layout Designer...>Set as Default
If there are entries in the RDFL table for this layout, I am prompted to delete these entries and set this layout as the default for all users/BP's
Based on the SDK Documentation, the following code should accomplish the same thing via the DI-API
(stripped down for clarity)
Dim oDefaultReportParams As DefaultReportParams
oDefaultReportParams = oLayoutService.GetDataInterface(ReportLayoutsServiceDataInterfaces.rlsdiDefaultReportParams)
oDefaultReportParams.LayoutCode = sMyLayoutCode
oDefaultReportParams.ReportCode = sMyReportCode
Me.oLayoutService.SetDefaultReport(oDefaultReportParams)
Code executes fine, but it doesn't have the expected impact on settings. The above code adds an entry to the RDFL table rather than changing the DfltReport field in the RTYP table like I expected, so instead of setting the default report globally for all bps/users, its adding an entry to the RDFL table to set the value for a specific user/bp
I experimented by including and setting the following properties to every combination I could think of with the same results
oDefaultReportParams.UserID = 'tried 1, 0, -1
oDefaultReportParams.CardCode = 'tried "", "0", "-1"
Am I misunderstanding the API, or using the wrong objects/calls...? If all else fails I could accomplish this via the UI-API instead, but the application was intended to be a stand alone app that didn't rely on SAP B1 application running, so any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Default Color, Size and Font for all user.

Hi
I have been looking around for the correct way to set some default styles for all Word users in a domain thrugh GPO. I just have some questions.
So far i can only get it working if it set a "Workgroup templates path" under "User Configuration/Administrative Templates/Microsoft Office 2013/Shared paths". Then the users are able to select it when they say "New" - "Shared"
and then the template
But i would like it to be default for all users, like in the Normal.dotm. But without making a script to replace the file for every users APPDATA.
Then i saw the "User Configuration/Administrative Templates/Microsoft Office 2013/Shared paths/Enterprise templates path", how and what does that do?

Hi,
As far as I know, if we want to distribute the Normal.dotm to users in a domain through GPO, we could
use GPP file extension to
distribute Normal.dotm to the path "C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates." for every user. For more detailed steps, please refer to the following link:

CP3525dn, networked -- default duplex for all users (embedded web server)

I want to set the default for all users on our networked CP3525dn to be duplex. I cannot find this option anywhere in the embedded web server. I have duplex turned on, of course, and users can set their own default to duplex, but I want it to be default for everyone--the default default, if you will.
Is this possible? I'm fairly certain it's possible if the printer is connected to a computer and shared on the network (but I don't remember the specifics) but I can't find out how to do it if it's on the network on its own.
Thanks!

I don't believe you can. It must be set for every user manually.

Setting default printing presets for all users, esp. guest user

i want to set black/white, two sided printing as the default for all users (9 macs, 30 users on each).
i set up and save this preset as admin, and copy the files
com.apple.print.custompresets.plist
com.apple.print.custompresets.forprinter.nameofprinter.plist
from admin home/library/preferences to the other users preferences-folders.
but logging on to any of the other users, i still dont even get the new preset listed.
i tried entering cups, but there, only the printer setup is editable.
especially i would like to set the custom preset as default for the guest account, without being wiped every log off.
is there any alternative way to do this? i dont want to manually log in to the 300 accounts to change this.

You can do that for new users via a file user.js in the default template folder for new profiles.

Adobe Reader 9.0 - Disable Forms Highlight color show border hover color for fields for all user a

Hello.
I am installing Adobe Reader 9.0 onto a new windows xp corporate build for my company. We would like to have the Forms Preference "Highlight Color" Show border Hover Color for Fields checkbox unchecked by default for any user that logs onto the workstation. (All new WinXP profiles, and if possible, any existing profiles) Is there a registry entry that can be changed to ensure that this option is unchecked by default on our WinXP build?
Thank you.

bumping thread...
I have downloaded the Adobe Reader 9.0 Custom Wizard install creator tool, but it still appears that I will need to know what registry key to change/import into the installer for this preference to be disabled by default for all users of the workstation that Adobe Reader 9.x is installed onto.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
