P67A-GD65 How to stop the motherboard from checking exteral drive when BIOS boot

I got four 2TB hard drives as external drives but every time when I restart my computer it takes so long to get pass the beeping phase. (At least 1 min)
I unplug all USB hard drives leaving only a USB mouse and keyboard and it boots in seconds.
So I was thinking there is a way to stop checking the hard drives in the BIOS.
Does anyone know?

Nope. It is part of the normal POST procedure. If the externals have a power switch, have them off at POST and turn them on once in the OS.

How to stop the volume from reverting to normal when plugging in headphones

Hello! I usually put my volume on the first bar, and when I plug in my headphones, it reverts to half of the bars being full- blasting my ears. I always forget it too. Soo
I was wondering if there was a way to stop the volume from changing when I plug in my headphones. Is it possible? It would be really really good

I experience the same problem when i plug in my speakers, I think if you change the itunes volume slider and or dont pause the song then you wont experience the problem

How to stop the Dialog from being dragged

I was hoping that someone could tell me when calling a Dialog from Jframe, a how to stop the Dialog from being dragged
while a dialog is showing.
When it is visible I can still click and drag the Dialog
I want to set it so you can not drag it until the dialog has be closed.

If you don't have access to the parent frame, a "hack" that usually works:
Frame frame = Frame.getFrames()[0];
if (null != frame && frame instanceof JFrame){
JFrame jf = (JFrame)frame;
JDialog jd = new JDialog(jf, "title");
... code here ...
As each JFrame (or Frame) is opened, its stored in the array of Frames that you can get. Same thing with Dialog.getDialogs(). Almost always, at least so far for me I've never had this problem, the [0] index is the main window opened, or the parent/top frame. I'd put the check in there to be safe and make sure its a JFrame and usually you'll only have the one JFrame.

How to stop the users from changing User Profile

Hai,
It is not possible to restrict SU3 to display, because it has only S_TCODE has the authorization object.
If you really want to restrict users from changing their profile you have to remove the SU3 access and give SU1 or SU2 which gives access only to Personnel details and Parameters.
Hope this helps.

How to stop the Calendar from editing your input?

How to stop the Calendar from editing your input?

I am constantly finding that Calendar Version 8.0 thinks it knows what I want to type but it incorrectly takes numbers and days and times out of my input and changes my appointments. I hate this new supposedly "smart" feature. Even when I edit my event correctly a second or third time it rewrites my input incorrectly again. I have to use my iPhone to override the annoying editing on my mac. I am ready to find a new calendar program unless Apple allows users to input what they want without their information being incorrectly edited.

How to stop the dock from showing all hidden images when hiding then showing applications

How to stop the dock from showing all hidden images when hiding then showing applications

It's not really something to snap a screen shot of. I believe it would need to be a video clip. For instance, when I am working on multiple images in Photoshop, I often need many images open at the same time, but I only have one image viewable and active. The hero image is active on screen while I hide the other images in the dock by hitting the yellow - button on the images. Then I "Hide" Photoshop to do something in the Finder. When I go back to Photoshop, every image that is hidden in the dock will pop open again in the active window, not just the image I was currently working on. I want these images to stay in the dock until I need them, no matter how many times I Hide the Show Photoshop.

Can't. This is done for the individual movie, not by iTunes.
Some have it, most don't.

Anyone know how to stop the slideshow from looping?

Does anyone know which file to edit in order to stop the slideshow from looping? Where the code would be or, what code to add.
I am not aware of a setting from within iweb itself.
I assumed it was the slideshow.js file but I didn't find anything in there.
Such as a loop "true"
HELP

That worked great.
I assume what we are doing is copying and editing the
.mac slideshow file,
and then pointing to it's location in the folder. How
Yes, that's exactly it.
did you know what the code would be? I guess you must
be very Java savy, because it definetly wasn't an
obvious one.
It took me two days to reverse engineered dot mac slideshow
Is there a way to get the slideshow window to close
after it's finished? What I get is a freeze frame on
the last photo of the show.
I know you gonna ask that yes, change the added line in slideshow.js to this:
if (count == ((imgs.length) - 1)) { this.pause(); setTimeout("window.close()", 5000); }; // close window after 5 sec, change 5000 to whatever you like.

How to stop the macbook from going to sleep

How do you stop my macbook from going to sleep when you close the screen? Like when you want to just move it around but do not want it to sign off or anything. Thanks guys

Well I just spent the past hour restoring my system after installing ismonia. I shut the lid and then reopened it. All was great, then the laptop wouldn't shut down. I tried to fix the disk with Disk Utility but it shut down on its own. It wouldn't startup.
If you try it make sure you have a recent backup.

How to stop the executable from starting when opened

Hi Guys,
I am building an exe with the application builder. I am not able to find a way to stop the exe from running when opened. I dont need the exe to run. I know I m missing a very basic step here but I m not able to do that.
Could anyone explain me how to do this.
Regards,
Nitin

Hello,
This is Dominic L. from Applications Engineering at National Instruments. This was reported to R&D (CAR#41DAPUQU) and was fixed in LabVIEW 8.2.1. Here is a link to the current evaluation software download for LabVIEW:
http://digital.ni.com/demo.nsf/websearch/14f9ce475127ade786256ac60070926c?opendocument
This particular bug actually renders all the build options for source file settings unusable. While the other options can be set manually in the source VI properties, the start-up VI will always run when an executable is opened.
Here are three different workarounds to this:
Option 1 - Upgrade to 8.2.1.
Option 2 - Check "Enable debugging" and "Wait for debugger on launch" in the Advanced page of the build specification. One side effect is this will include the block diagrams of the VIs and extra code for debug tool support. Note that if you don't protect the source code (block diagram), it kind of defeats the purpose of creating an executable.
Option 3 - Use a dummy startup VI to launch the desired startup VI.
For the third workaround, the attached "Dummy Startup VI.vi" uses VI server to open the desired startup VI's front panel and then closes. To use the Dummy Startup VI follow these steps:
Add the Dummy Startup VI to the project.
Open the Dummy Startup VI and change "Main VI.vi" to the VI you would like to open but not run in the project and save.
In the source files page of the build, select the Dummy Startup VI as a startup VI and the VI you would like to open but not run as a support VI.
Build and run.
I hope this helps.
Have a great evening!
Best Regards,
Dominic L.
