Can windows 7 'open with' right click open more than 1 picture at a time?

A few times I have been given a usb drive or SD card & asked to enhance a few pictures for someone. I usually just select one picture & then right click open wirh & select PSE. The problem with doing this is that I can only send one picture at a time to PSE. Is it possible to get the open with command to have more than 1 picture open? I'm using windows 7 pro.

Hi,
You could try using the "Send To" option but you first have to create a shortcut.
Use the windows explorer to navigate to
C:\Users\"Your User Name"\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo
In that folder create a new shortcut to the PSE editor.
Then you use it by selecting the images you want to process, right click and select Send To - the editor should appear in the list.
Hope that helps

New excel file cannot be opened with right click in any folder.

Usually I create a new file (.xlsx) by right click inside any folder of windows 7 . Recently I am observing that it is not being possible to create a new file (.xlsx) by right click when I am inside a folder. Whenever I right click in order to create a
new file no excel file icon or word file icon is found visible there though at that time other applications like access, power point and publisher file icons are visible. Only excel and word file icons are invisible. I don't know what the cause may be. I think
I have turned off some option by mistake. Is there any solution to this problem? How can I have the opportunity again?

Hi Nurulamin,
Thanks for your post, however, since this isnot an exchange issue, I recommend you post this in Windows Client Forum
also, as they should have more professional knowledge and you may get effective solution timely.
Thanks for your understanding!

In the 'Open with' Right click options - why do some apps show several times?

Notably, Evernote and Pixelmator (both downloaded from the Mac App Store)
It's hardly the biggest problem I know - but it does look rather messy.
Anoyone know a way to fix this?
Thanks in advance!

I felt a bit wary about downloading a third-party app to do this, so I didn't use that tool. However, you did help me by using the correct terminology which allowed me to find a solution which I could do myself.
I found the solution here, as provided by Macjack:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19418151#19418151
Basically, copy and paste the code into Terminal and hit enter.
Thanks anyway QuickTime Kirk! I've thanked.

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.

Disable (all) functions on the block diagram with right-click menu

Hello to everyone,
here is one more idea, which I'd like to propose.
As for me, it would be useful to have the following: when all components (functions, wires, subVIs, etc.) are selected on the block diagram (like, after ctrl+A), operator could do right-click, and in the menu would appear menu item "Disable everything". After it, all the code could be placed into Disable structure.
Of course, I can add Disable structure to block diagram manually, and cover whatever I want, but with right-click menu it would be much faster.
Also, it can be modified to disable only selected items - then each of them can be placed into separate Disable structure, and, for example, additionaly in the enabled case of Disable structure, corresponding wires will be connected. Sometimes it is needed for testing - just to disable couple functions, and test subVI. Or to disable subVI fully (it's faster, then disable place, where it is called. Especially, if subVI is used in many places).
It will not make debugging difficult, because anyway Disabled structures are used; such functionallity can just make life a little bit easier...

There is always the File->New... which opens up a new window. You can have your templates in that window by putting them somewhere (I don't remember where at the moment).
There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions

MY FIREFOX NEW TAB NOT WORKING NIETHER WITH + NOR WITH RIGHT CLICKING ON TAB OR DOUBLE CLICK ON TAB

MY FIREFOX NEW TAB NOT WORKING NIETHER WITH + NOR WITH RIGHT CLICKING ON TAB OR DOUBLE CLICKING ON TAB

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

Nothing will open with double click

Help! Our iMac seems to work OK, except that nothing will open with a double-click in Finder. It is not the mouse, which works fine. I rebuilt the directory with DiskWarrior, but that did not help. What is weird is that things do open with double-click soon after you reboot it. But after a day or so, it stops working. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Carlos

Hi Carlos!
It maybe your Mouse or your Mouse Preferences are getting lost somewhere. What type of Mouse do your have? When you lose the ability to double click, can you still right click and see the menu dialog? If so, try to open your file this way, if nothing happens when you right click try the next step below...
You should check: System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Mouse... from here make sure you right (secondary) button is activated and double click speed is not too fast or slow.
Let us know, good luck, Rick

Email Security Plug-in - Doesn't seem to work with right click or save and send

I've searched the knowledge base but have not located the answer yet.
We have the Encrypt Message plug-in installed to flag the email [SEND SECURE]. This works very well when in Outlook. It does not seem to work when right clicking a file to send outside of Outlook or performing Save and Send from within Microsoft Office. The add-in still shows and users are clicking it and the Send button but the emails are not going securely. We are on Microsoft2010 on mostly XP machines.
How can I get Encrypt Message to work in all instances?
Thank you.

Is there a way to disable files opening with one-click?

This is driving me crazy! I thought previously the problem was "magic mouse" but now that I've gone back to my old mouse, the problem persists. If I select a file in a finder window, it opens with one click. Also, if I try to edit a file name or even the question I've written above, I can't just insert the cursor and replace 1 letter. It picks the whole word, then the whole sentence. I never had this trouble before updating to the lastest and "greatest" snow leopard.

Are you using a wired mouse, if you are then go to sys prefs/mouse and change the double click speed.

Events will not open with double click/double click not working.

Have just upgraded to iPhoto'11 and finding it a pain to use after previous iPhoto. Events will not open with double click (even though highlighted in yellow) and photos will not open with double click or videos play. How can we fix this please?

That sounds very like an issue with your mouse/trackpad and not iPhoto. Go to your SystemPreferences and chck the speed you've set for double clicking

Files get open with single click sometimes

I recently started having this problem. When I browse through different image/video files, some of the files get open with one click only. This is really very annoying. I am event thinking to migrate back to Windows because of this problem.
How to reproduce the issue:
-> Open a folder that contains many images/video files
-> Click on anyone of them to select it
-> Now click outside the window. So, the finder goes out of the focus (but should stay visible)
-> Now, inside finder click any other image/video just once, it will open up automatically with just single click

If you have access to a mouse, try using it. If everything is okay using the mouse, then it is likely trackpad related. Other troubleshooting.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application unistaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

InDesign files won't open with double click

InDesign files won't open with double click on my MacPro with Snow Leopard although they do open from external hard drives when I double click.

Thank you very much,you were correct, it appears the mouse clicks were set too fast. Thank you very much indeed for taking the time to answer my question.

Flash files with right click imported in dreamweaver files

Flash files created with Captivate which contain rightclick
functionality are imported to html files created in Dreamweaver. In
other words, I don't use the html created by Captivate but another
html file to build up a whole course. But now a couple of those
flash files contain a right click and obviously I have to adjust
the dreamweaver file with some of the script that William Heinz has
created. I am not an HTML expert and I am not 100% confident that I
can do with just endless try&error. Could anyone give me some
hints?
I suppose I need to use the second bit of William's article
"the more complex requirement".
When I insert the flash file this is what I get: (This is
where I am suppose to make the changes????)
<script type="text/javascript">

</object></noscript>
I am not sure what to do with the "<Body
onload='javascript:init()..... "etc as suggested by William.
Thanks for any advice on this!!!

I hope there is one person out there who can help me with
this issue.
I have started from scratch and created a blank html with
dreamweaver and inserted the flash file (with right click
animation) created with Captivate.
Then I made the adjustments as per Heinz and also included a
ID=Captivate1 as the RightClick.js refers to that.
The main difference between this html file and the html file
created with Captivate, is that the Captivate one also has
writedocument bit.
Anyway, is there anybody in the world who can give me
atip/hint/suggestion?????
