Question about two Windows installs using the same Apps

Hello all .
I know this is more of a general Windows question, but being I am going to be utilizing any solution found on a MBP, I thought I would post this here.
If the world was perfect, this is what I would like to do.
Make three partitions on my MBP, the OSX partition, a 20 gig windows partition (no os), Boot Camp on a smaller partition (like 4 gig or something), and then run parallels on a 4 gig virtual partition.
Then, install all my apps once on the 20 gig windows partition, and have both instances of windows share them. Does anyone know of a windows registry utility that would allow this to be possible?
Thanks in advance!
P.S. in case your wondering why I would separate the 20 gig partition form the OS, I think it would be easier to share the apps if both OS’s thought they were installed on the “E” drive (not have one think it’s on the C drive, and the other think it’s on E).

Hahaha, you may be right, but there has to be some option to have windows run natively, and in a VM, without having to install all my apps in two locations. That would just take up way to much hard drive space.

  • [solved] question about two soundcards which use the same module

    Hi
    I have two external soundcards, an Edirol UA-25 and a MAudio Transit. Both use the snd_usb_audio kernel driver. When I only had the MAudio, I configured it to be soundcard number 2 with the following in /etc/modprobe/modprobe.conf
    options snd-usb-audio index=2
    Now I'd like to have one be soundcard number 2 and the other one soundcard number 3. The internal soundcard is number 0, my tv card is number 1, I don't want to change that.
    How can I do this?

    Ok, works. For documention, here's what I did:
    If you have two (or more) soundcards, which use the same kernel module, this is what you need in your modprobe.conf (or call this file just like you want, it only has to be in /etc/modprobe.d and has to be called *.conf)
    options snd-usb-audio index=2,3 vid=0x0582,0x0763 pid=0x0074,0x2006
    This is what I have now. Index is the number of the card, e.g. you see those numbers in alsamixer when you press F6. The vids and pids you can get with
    lsusb -v|grep idVendor # this is for the idv
    lsusb -v|grep idProduct # this is for the idp
    Just pick the line which stands for the soundcard, put these ids into the *.conf file and you're done. Now it doesn't matter in which order you plugin the soundcards, they get the right index.
    Quite easy after all

  • Question about multiple resource objects using the same OID target account

    In Oracle Identity Manager 11g with OID connector as a target system.
    Is it possible to create multiple resources that use the same OID IT Resource. Each resource is responsible for provisioning certain OID attributes of the same OID account. For example 'OID User' would provision the basic account and a separate resource called 'Department1 User' would provision attributes not provisioned by OID User.

    Yes, definitely. Here is how it would work:
    - You would have to make sure that the resource OID User always gets provisioned first, so that the account exist when these additional attributes are being set for the user via the other resource Department1 User. You can do this with Resource Dependency in OIM.
    - Now for using the same IT Resource, just create the new form and in the IT Resource type form field, map the properties to the same IT Resource Definition, so when the Provisioning Process gets invoked it uses the same IT Resource instead.
    Thanks

  • HT201236 I want to do something so simple that there are no instructions. I just need to have two windows open at the same time so I can transfer files from one to the other by drag

    I want to transfer files from one device (or page ) to another by drag and drop , so i need two windows ope   at the same time,
    I know this can be done but I have forgotten how

    Don't use any full screen options for any app that has them
    Mount your device and double click on it to open it. Drag this window to the upper right of your Desktop and resize it to a bit less than half of your Desktop.
    Open the next folder and position it on the lower left side and resize it so you can still see the previous window.

  • Window.open() will open separated windows even using the same window name?

    Hi, I have below two test html pages as below(could not find a way to insert a attachment, so paste the content below). The reproduce step is as below: (My environment is Win8.1 with IE11)
    1. Open print_test.html page in IE, here we call page1.
    2. Click "File -> New Session" menu from IE menu bar, which will open another new IE window which display another " print_test.html" page, here we call page 2.
    3. Click "Print" hyper-link in page1, and a popup window which display "print_test_open.html" page, counting begins from 1, here we call it page 3.
    4. Click "Print" hyper-link in page2, and another popup window which display "print_test_open.html" page, counting begins from 1, here we call it page 4.
    However, the behavior above is totally different on my Win7 (64 bit) with IE 10, which is in step 4, when I click "Print" hyper-link in page2, instead of open a new popup window, the window for page 3 will be reused and counting will restart from
    1.
    I googled and know from MDN for window.open() and get below information to indicate that in my test pages, I use the same window name, so that the existed window with the same name will be reused is as expected, but however, why IE behave differently in
    Win8.1 with IE 11? Why the existed window could not be reused anymore?
    If a window with the name strWindowName already exists, then, instead of opening a new window, strUrl is loaded into the existing window. In this case the return value of the method is the existing window.
    The behavior in Win8.1 + IE 11 is similar with what Google Chrome does, and Chrome's explanation is that two separated window using separated processes which do no share information, so that even using the same window name. twp separated windows will
    popup.. So I am confused here, IE 10 and IE 11 are both using multi-process mechanism right? I saw from the Windows Task Manager, when using "File -> New Session" to open another print_test.html page in step 2. both IE 10 and IE 11 are opening
    4 iexplore.exe processes, two of them are 64 bit, and two of them are 32 bit. I can't see any configuration difference between these two envs, but why the behavior is so different? 
    Could anyone give some help and clarify here? Great thanks in advance.
    Oh, btw, another colleague can reproduce the issue (open separated windows even using the same window name) in his Win7 64 bit with IE 10 env, but could not reproduce in his Win 32 bit with IE 10 env... Hope this information could also do help.

    Hi,
    please try in noAddons mode and with the IE Popup blocker turned off. Also ensure you are using the default IE Security zone settings. Internet Options>Security tab, click "Reset all zones to default"
    To debug your scripts in IE11.
    Tools>Internet Options>Advanced tab, check "Always record developer console messages".
    start your test and display the developer tool console to display suppressed errors and warnings.
    (I don't see where myWindow is assigned).
    "If a window with the name strWindowName already exists, then, instead of opening a new window, strUrl is loaded into the existing window. In this case the return value of the method is the existing window."
    window.open has an optional 'replace' parameter...

    to reuses a tab or window
    window.open({url},[name],[placement],[replace])
    If possible can you please provide a publicly accessible link to your test pages as we need to inspect the response headers to monitor what is cached.
    or

  • How would I go about adding multiple rectangles using the same lines of code?

    How would I go about adding multiple rectangles using the same lines of code? I would prefer to just run through a set of code every time I need a polygon. If I just have to create multiple polygon adding statements that's fine but I'd prefer just 1.

    >>How would I go about adding multiple rectangles using the same lines of code?
    You could create a method that creates and returns x number of Rectangle elements:
    public IEnumerable<Rectangle> CreateRectangles(int numberOfRectsToCreate)
    for (int i = 0; i < numberOfRectsToCreate; ++i)
    Rectangle rect = new Rectangle();
    rect.Fill = Brushes.Blue;
    rect.Width = 100;
    rect.Height = 100;
    yield return rect;
    ..and then call this method from anywhere in your code:
    IEnumerable<Rectangle> rects = CreateRectangles(5);
    foreach (Rectangle rect in rects)
    //add to StackPanel or do whatever with the Rectangle elements:
    yourStackPanel.Children.Add(rect);
    >>If I just have to create multiple polygon adding statements that's fine but I'd prefer just 1.
    When adding Point objects to a Polygon you can only add one per call to the Add method but you could call the Add method inside a loop, e.g:
    for(int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
    //add to StackPanel or do whatever with the Rectangle elements:
    Polygon p = new Polygon();
    p.Points.Add(new Point());

  • Can I have a Face Time conversation between two Apple devices using the same Apple ID?

    Can I have a Face Time conversation between two Apple devices using the same Apple ID?

    Yes, you can, but the two devices can't have the same e mail address associated with both.  Each, device needs its own unique e mail ADR.  In your case, the iPod can call your iPhone if you use the phone number, but the iPhone can not call your iPod because it must use the e mail address, and if the email address is the same on both, the iPhone will think it's calling itself, so the call will not go through.

  • Connecting to two database instances using the same Toplink

    Hi,
    We are trying to create a process using BPEL where data from one database instance needs to be passed to the other. The process is compiling properly and we could deploy it in BPEL Process Manager. But when we try to run the process, the data is not getting inserted into the second instance. There is no error /exception being thrown at most of the time, but at times we are getting a 'Unique constraint error' eventhough there is no duplication of data.
    Can we connect to two different instances using the same toplink. How can we achieve this.
    Thanks in advance

  • HT202213 can two apple ids use the same itunes account?

    I'm pretty new to apple products and have an itunes question. My husband and I just bought iPhones and have separate apple id's. We will also using an iPod. Is it possible to use itunes with both id's? Is there any way to share the files between both of us?

    If you want to share a single AppleID with a single iTunes Library, then simply sync both devices to that iTunes library using the same user account.
    If you want to sync two AppleIDs to one iTunes library, in iTunes on the computer, login and authorize each AppleID, then sync the devices to that common iTunes library in the same user account.
    You do not do anything on the device being sync'd itself - it all has to do with how iTunes that you are syncing to is set up and what AppleIDs are authorized there.  You can sync multiple devices to iTunes, just be sure that each device gets a unique device name in the iTunes sidebar.
    To then use unique AppleIDs for iCloud and iMessage on a iOS device, first, make an iCloud account with the AppleID you want to use (go to http://www.iCloud.com), then set up that iCloud account on the device with that ID and password.  In iMessage, just log out with whatever AppleID you are using now, log in with the new AppleID and it will reauthorize, now linking that device with the new iMessage account just created with that AppleID (your iMessage primary account ID is always the AppleID used to initially create and verify the iMessage account).

  • Two user accounts using the same home folder

    This may sound like a silly or goofy question, but I was wondering if anyone knows how to use two different user accounts, but with each using the same home folder?
    I was wondering because there are many different settings I would like to use for different settings. Kind of like a "Spaces on Steroids." When I'm at school, I'd like to use one Network Settings, one desktop and icons, one Dock, etc. And when at home, a different set of each, but still using the same home folder.
    Any help or suggestions would be most appreciated.

    ZooCrewMan wrote:
    So, I figured the easiest was would be seperate user accounts, "Home" "School" "Work" etc., and all have different settings, but still point to the same Home Folder.
    The problem is, most of those settings are kept in the home folder.
    You could probably do what Softwater suggests, with an AppleScript, or perhaps an Automator workflow, but it's not without some serious downsides.  You'd need one for each setup.
    At least one complication would be, any change you wanted to make to each setup would have to be done to that script; you couldn't just drag something into (or out of) the Dock.
    Another theoretical possiblility would be to have separate user accounts, but use the special Shared user folder for your data.  You'd have to select it as a souce or destination for each app you use, but many will remember that from use to use. 
    The complication would be permissions.  When you save a document there, the user that saved it is the owner, with read & write rights.  All other users have read-only rights, so could view and open them, but not update them.  You'd probably want to create one or more sub-folders in the Shared account (for various types of files), and you could probably set a Folder Action on each to grant read & write permissions to anything created in them.
    Then you could set up the desired network location, Dock, and Desktop for each user account.

  • Can I use the same app store AppleID on two iMac computers one in Australia and one in Thailand, for purchasing upgrades

    I have two iMAC computers, one at home in Sydney Australia and one in Korat Thailand.
    I want to software updates through my Sydney AppleID.
    When an attempt was made to update OSX the server rejected the attempt in Thailand

    Sure - as long as you use the same apple ID on both devices you can download it to both devices. Why is is greyed out on her iPad is not clear to me - other than the app is actually on her iPad via Automatic Downloads and she doesn't realize that its on the device. Is that possible?
    Search for the app on her iPad- swipe to the right from the first home screen and type in the name of the App at the top in the search field. Does it show up?

    I have two i-pads with shared free apps, but when I purchased one from the i-tunes store recently it would not show up on both.  How do I share this language course with both i-pads?

    If you are using the same iTunes account on both iPads then you should be able to re-download the app on the second iPad via the Purchased tab in the App Store app. If you always want any new app purchases to download on both then you should be able to turn on automatic downloads via Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores if they are on iOS 6).
