Recent files and volatile user

Hello:
We use a volatile user with Zenworks 6.5 so the list of recent files gets wiped off once a user logs out. Is there anyway to change that? We would like to still use a volatile user accoutns, but we would also be able to keep the list of recently opened files so the user can use it after they log off. Thank You.

You can move the location of "recent" through the registry. Move it to the user's home directory.

How can I copy programs (iWorks) and files from Time Capsule to my HD manually? The problem is that the migration assistant does not recognize my backup file and the user on the TC. (If I open the TC on finder, it it there though)

Lost Recent Files and Browsers

I'm using Dreamweaver CS3 on my MacBook running OSX 10.5. In the last few days it no longer shows my recent files, and it no longer has my Browsers listed. It tells me "Unable to read Preview in Browser Preferences. Please remove all Browsers from the list and add them again." I do so (but nothing to remove) adding Firefox as my Primary Browser and Safari as my Secondary (the 2 Browsers I have on my computer.) But it doesn't add either of them. And I get the same message next time.
Also my Recent Files no longer show up. It just says "Recent Files" and is greyed out. I didn't make any changes to this, and don't see a place in the Preferences to set this.
Please let me know how to restore these 2 things. They both went missing at the same time, so I'm guessing they're related. I haven't noticed any other things amiss. Thanks for your help.

This could be a sign of a corrupted cache file or personal configuration folder.
First try deleting the file cache.

If that doesn't work, delete your DW Personal Configuration folder.

Select most recent file and display

I've been considerig this and I am closer to how I expect it to work
This is what I have so far but can't peice together just yet.
Get the current open folder window look for the last item if shot within the last 30 secs of the creation date, if shot within 30 secs then select/highlight the file and use system events to press keystroke y using cmd and option down.(to put it on the screen in full screen) Display for 15 secs, or if esc hit then wait for next file to arrive and so on.
If the window is closed of the current open folder then end applescript.
This is how far I have got but can't link the ideas together well.
set theWindow to name of front window of application "Finder"
set theWindow to name of front window of application "Finder"
set theFldr to path of theWindow
tell application "Finder"
          set theContents to sort items of theFldr by creation date
          set theLastimage to (contents of item 1 of theContents) as text
--is it within the last 30 seconds?
-- yes, then
          tell application "System Events"
keystroke "y" using {command down, option down}
                    delay 15
key code 53
--then wait for arrival of next image. and repeat.
--if theWindow is close end applescript.
          end tell
end tell

Hi,
If you don't want to use a folder action, try this :
try
      tell application "Finder" to set currFolder to name of front Finder window
on error
      return -- no Finder window
end try
set tDate to (current date) - 30
repeat
      set b to false
      tell application "Finder"
            set fWindows to Finder windows whose it's name is currFolder
            if (fWindows is not {}) then
                  set tWind to item 1 of fWindows
                  set nFiles to document files of tWind whose creation date > tDate -- get newer files
                  set tDate to (current date)
                  if nFiles is not {} then
                        reveal nFiles
                        my selectionfullScreen(currFolder, count nFiles)
                        set b to true
                  end if
            else
                  exit repeat -- quit the script, the current Folder is closed
            end if
      end tell
      if not b then delay 5 -- no recent files, wait 5 seconds
end repeat
on selectionfullScreen(tName, n)
      tell application "System Events"
            tell process "Finder"
                  set frontmost to true
                  keystroke "y" using {command down, option down}
                  repeat (15 * n) times
                        tell window 1 to if (exists) and (its title is tName) then return -- the user close QuickLook
                        delay 1
                  end repeat
                  tell window 1 to if (exists) and (its title is not tName) then key code 53 -- close QuickLook after (15 seconds X (number of images))

Word 2007 and volatile user

Guys,
I did not know where to ask. We use volatile user and I have a problem with word 2007. I can't get word to hold the settings, toolbars etc. I was able to change normal.dotx, and that's fine in regards to the page formating, but I can't make word 2007 to remember its layout. I even copied the profile to the default profile, which worked with word 2003. Please advise. Thank you.

How can I protect a PDF file to where when I am editing the file and another user opens the file, it is only a read-only file?

I work for an auditing firm and we have recently gone paperless with our audit documentation. We have our files saved on a server and multiple people can access the same file at one time. We noticed that Acrobat does not give an message notifying a user that someone else is in that file, nor does Acrobat make that PDF file a read only file when someone else is in it editing the document. Is there a way to notify someone that another user is in the same PDF file? Or is there a way to make a PDF read only when someone else is working with the document?

Hi ashleyr1936858
You can restrict editing of a pdf by setting the password, such that anyone who wants to edit the pdf would need to input that password. This would make the pdf a read-only file.
Here's a Link for more information : Acrobat Help | Securing PDFs with passwords

DOS command "sqlplus /nolog @file" and "sqlplus user / password @file

It's very strange what j've observed:
J've two files *.sql :
-- 1:
file_with_connect.sql which contains 3 lines :
connect <user>/<password>@tnsname
select count(*) from <table_name>;
exit
-- 2:
file_without_connect.sql which contains only:
select count(*) from <table_name>;
exit
table <table_name> isn't empty (it contains 1 row)
-- 1:
When J execute from DOS (on the client):
sqlplus /nolog @file_with_connect.sql le result is 0 rows in table <table_name>
-- 2:
When J execute from DOS :
sqlplus <user>/<password>@tnsname @file_without_connect.sql le result is: 1 row in table <table_name>
I use the same connection, tnsname, table.
Why the result isn't the same ?
There is no error in my alertXXXX.log

Hi Mustafa
The table <table_name> that j've used exists only in one database.
It's tnsname is ok on the server, on the client it was defined 2 times ! (but the same) in the file tnsname.ora. J've modify the client tnsname.ora.
But, j'm not sure it was the reason of our problem: the error isn't regular (sometimes) so j can't verify that it will never appear.
Any other idea?

Migrated files and New User Account

Hello,
New Mac user here. I successfully migrated all the content from my old PC onto my Mac Mini and it was put into a new user account. I'd like to transfer this content into the Admin account and delete the added user. What's the best way to go about doing this? Thanks so much!

Use Quicktime Player version 7 instead of Quicktime 10.
Mac OS X 10.6 includes QuickTime versions 10.0 and 7.6.3. The QuickTime 7 player will only be present if a QuickTime Pro key was present at the time of installation, or if specified as part of a custom install, or individually downloaded.
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl923
Snow Leopard update 10.6.4 included an update to 7.6.6 (if installed). You can install it from the above link even though it says for 10.6.3. It's the same version of QuickTime Player 7.6.6.
Only QuickTime Player 7.6.3 or 7.6.6 can be updated to "Pro".

Allow users to attach a file and remit via form

I am creating a fillable worksheet for users via Acrobat 9 Pro
I would like users to be able to fill out the form, click a submit button (which brings up their respective email client to remit data to form creator (me). BUT....
also somewhere on the form i would like to give them the opportunity to attach or append any other documents they might have locally.
for example, users are working in the PDF form, filling it out and loving it. Then they come to a question which is a form field but also says something to the nature, "if you have references of existing information please feel free to attach to this form" and be able to add or click a button to attach a local MS Word Doc, excel doc, ppt, visio, pdf, etc.
Thanks!

Sorry, I had to edit this.
First enable commenting rights for the file, and the users will be able to select "Tools > Comment & Markup > Attach a File as a Comment".

Mini Bridge: how to clear recent files/folders?

Hi all,
I am a new user of Photoshop CS5.1 Extended and have a question about Mini Bridge. My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, and I'm using the 64-bit version of Photoshop.
My question is: how do I clear the Recent Files and Recent Folders lists from the navigation pane of Mini Bridge?
In Bridge itself I have set the 'number of recent items' to zero. I can't see any equivalent setting in Mini Bridge.
The reason for asking is that prior to purchasing and installing the Production Premium Suite, I demoed the Web Premium Suite, including Fireworks. Even though Fireworks is now uninstalled and I can find no reference to it in the Windows Registry, Fireworks has its own submenu of recent files in Mini Bridge. I can't figure out where this information is stored.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Ok, I just figured this out.
In Bridge (not Mini Bridge), it's the Reveal Recent toolbar icon, then "Clear Recent Files" and/or "Clear Recent Folders".
This is a bit counter-intuitive, considering that "number of recent items to display" in Bridge was already set to zero, but hey ho.
Just thought I'd post this in case anyone else finds the thread and is curious.

Where's the file that stores the Recent Files list? (Mac OS)

I closed a document yesterday that I had finished after saving a PDF from a saved AI file. When I went to "Open Recent File" and selected either the AI or the PDF, it says the file cannot be found.
I would like to take a look at the path of where Illustrator thinks the file should be so I can narrow down why the file is missing.
I've looked in /Users/(me)/Library/Preferences and haven't found anything.
Thank you!

I doubt this *.plist file will be any use to you… Why don't you go outside the app and use spotlight…?
or just comm+f

Volatile User / Sids / Permissions

Zen 3.2 / XP workstation / Policy Package with DLU enabled, manage
existing, use edirectory credentials and volatile user, roaming profiles:
Problem:
When viewing security/permissions on any files or folders created by the
user or by an application being used by the user on the local drive, they
end up with an unknown account (S-1-5-21-4226715 etc)after subsequent
logins. I assume this is due to the volatile user setting because each
time the user logs in, workstation manager actually creates a new account
and therefore new sid. I could live with this, although it's unsightly and
sloppy. But the real problem is that the user loses rights to files upon
subsequent logins. We are using the default ntfs xp security group
permissions on the drives.
We have lots of older type apps that generate temp files, etc so losing
permissions is a problem. I don't want to just set everything to run as
unsecure user unless I absolutely have to.
Anybody else have this problem? I suppose I could just remove the volatile
user setting but then I fear I'll have another set of problems to deal
with because users will end up logging in locally and have none of their
zen stuff!

Tried uphclean ?, see TID 10096547
