Registering Plugins/Extensions for All Users on Windows 7

I am deploying firefox in a shared desktop environment and they all require the same firefox extensions.
I have downloaded the .xpi files and when I install them it only appears for me and not for the other users on the PC.
I need to be able to install these extensions once and have them available to all users on that PC.
I tried the -install-global-extensions command, but looks like that was removed from Firefox 10. Does anyone have any suggestions to my problem?
thanks!

You may have to log in as the Administrator user rather than
"run as adminstrator".
Beyond that, are there really enough users on a system that
they can't install the extension(s) they need themselves?

How to set mozilla firefox homepage for all users in windows 7?

I want to set same homepage for all users in windows 7.

You can use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify new (default) values.
Place a local-settings.js file in the defaults\pref folder where also the channel-prefs.js file is located to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

Hi Experts
We recently started using office 2007 with BEx 7.
However, many users still has Office 2003 installed.
I am looking to set the default file extension for all users to be .XLS.
I know that this option is available in Client level (Global Settings - Use XLS file format ) but I require that the checkbox will be automatically checked.
Is there a way to do it?
Thanks,

How to install an extension for "all users"

I want to install a quantity of extensions for ALL users of FF on a PC running XP. There used to be a way of doing this but I have forgotten the method.
I know to save the .xpi file for each extension, and that there is some folder in a common area where these files are placed so that each User gets them installed the next time they run FF

Pin shortcuts to Taskbar and Start Menu for all users in Windows 7

How can i Pin shortcuts to Taskbar and Start Menu for All Users in Windows 7? Office 2007 Word, Excel and Outlook.

There are a few ways...
You can configure a default profile which will give you the ability to setup the Start Menu as you want it with the items pinned how you like. However, in my experience customizations done to the Taskbar are not maintained in a default profile.
So, one way to get around that would be to create a script and use the "Active Setup" hooks that are built into Windows 7 to achieve the desired results.
If you combine this script...

With Active Setup...

You can get the results you want to get...
Pinned items on the Taskbar have two components, one is in the file system and the other is in the registry. You could also use GPO Preferences to add both components to a new profile and therby get similar results. I played around with this method a little and did get it to work also.

Hi John,
I appreciate your prompt response.
We have an Australian client here in the Philippines and would want to purchase an adobe software under Creative Cloud Licensing.
Since this type of licensing is not yet available here in the Philippines, they are suggesting that they can purchase it in their country.
My main concern is, will there be any conflict upon installing/activating an adobe software under Creative Cloud which will be purchased from their country?
And what are the steps for installing and activating a software under this type of license.

Setting Finder Sidebar Folders for all users on Windows Network.

Morning All,
Have 15 iMacs and have joined them to Active Directory using Centrify.
Looking to customize the Finder Sidebar for all users that log on. We don't want to do this manually for all users. Specifically want to make sure the Home Folder is mapped and documents folder and all the other ones are not showing.
Is this possible to do at all? We have Centrify Group Policies we can apply on our Windows Network and a Mac Server we can use with Profile Manager if necessary as well.
Hope you can help,

Hi Mike,
Thanks for reply.
But I need to configure everything using powershell script. Is it possible to use powershell script to setting group policy/ adding logon script ?
These are pretty basic administration tasks and almost always quicker to accomplish with the GUI. Why do you want to use a PowerShell script?

Firefox won't install for all users in Windows 8.1; only installs for administrator

Since moving to Windows 8.1, I have been unable to install Firefox for multiple users on this laptop. Firefox installs only for the Administrator (me), and does not appear on any other user account. When I try installing from one of the other user accounts (after entering my administrator password), it simply won't install.

Check that Firefox isn't set to run as Administrator.
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.
* Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
* "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" should not be selected
Also check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).

Default Duplex for ALL Users on Windows 7

So, here is my issue... I work for Computer Services at an institution and we upgraded one of our computer labs over summer recess to new Z200 model workstations running Windows 7, 64 bit. Each of our students, faculty, and staff have their own network account, and the computers are frozen (mainly to keep them clean) so every restart any individual settings changed after the computer was frozen are deleted. What we need to do is find a way to force default duplexing on each computer for every account logged in. We have tried a few things which worked on the administrator account marginally well, but we can not replicate that to all users. We have also tried the 'public profile' to no avail. Help?

Hi，
You can deploy the printer via GPP, make some configuratiosn for the printers, set this printer as default printer, then link the GPO to related OU or group which contains the user accounts that you want this printer available. after that, run
gpupdate /force to update the policy, you will see printer listed on your client.

The default user account picture is stored here.
C:\programdata\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\user.bmp
It should just be a matter have copying the picture you want to that location and over writing what is there.
or....
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Control Panel\User Accounts\Apply the default user logon picture to all users
You can also configure this by a registry setting;
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
UseDefaultTile = 1
The picture that you configure, will not be loaded until the user account will actually be created on the pc. Meaning the first time a >new< user will log on to a pc, they will have no picture shown at all using their login screen (this is default
behavior). Same will occur if you enable the policy don't display last user name. However, once they log in the picture will be shown in the start menu, and if they lock their pc the image will also be shown

How to disable the annoying security warning for all users in Windows Server 2008 R2

Hi,
The employees from the administration complain all the time about the different types of security warning that they get when trying to run some applications which are used frequently.
Since the number of the users is too big it is unfeasible to go through all the users and disable the User Access Control at their account settings.
Is it possible to achieve this through given account policy settings. I want to perform the changes on the server so it applies to *all* (or maybe those of Administration department) users.
One useful information here can be the following: we use 2 different severs, the application which cause the errors are in the terminal server, and the users are in the main server. Where should I perform the changes?
Best,
D

Hiya,
It could sound like that one indeed. There are a few options to go for, however it should be fairly easy to find out :)
Create a test GPO and apply to a limited amount of users. GPUpdate and verify that the GPO has been applied using rsop.msc
Then open the application to test and see if it has the desired effect. You might need to change more than one setting, depending on the application and desired behavior.

Installing Default Printer For All Users on Windows 7 Client PCs.

The printers are shared on a Windows Server 2012 and I need a way to install them on Windows 7 clients PCs. I have tried using :
RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL, PrintUIEntry but the results were unreliable.
1. Is there a way to install a network printer shared on a Windows Server 2012 while logged on to the local Windows 7 PC domain as administrator?
2. What other methods would you recommend?
Thanks in advance for any replies.
