Running Shortcuts

What Windows 7 system program runs shortcut files (.lnk). Evidently a shortcut on desktop was right-clicked and "Open with Adobe Reader" was selected. Now all shortcuts on desktop and Start menu try to run in Adobe reader and gives an error asking
if you want to download the program. If you click yes it comes back to same error!

you could try to do a right click and select open with and associate the file with another program, otherwise you may have to go to control panel and "default programs" and set association look for .lnk and see if adobe is associated with
it and can be changed mine says "unknown application" if that doesn't;t work you may have to find some software that will set it back to default because it will be in the registry.

Script Error in running shortcut

I got an Internet Explorer Script Error message:
Object doesn't support this property or method
mk:@MSITStore:C:\Program%20Files\Company\Help\WorkStation.chm::/common_RoboDemo/RoboDemo_I ntroduction.htm
This only happens when I use:
- Windows 2000 SP4 + IE 5.5
It works fine if I use:
- Windows 2000 SP2 + IE 5.0
- Windows XP or above
That is when I run the executable file by using shortcut with
the code below.
Grateful if anyone can let me know what I have missed.
Thanks,

Do you have the .chm installed to the same drive on each? If
you had it on D: on one setup this would cause the problem as
well.

Reports 6i and Web Wizard

Hi All,
I am developing reports for web using Report 6i. When I use web wizard to create html output (option - Generate HTML stylesheet output now). Everything fine except there is gap (10-12 blank lines) between pages.
I need your help in getting rid of these lines. What I need is continuous report.
Any help appreciated,
TIA,
Jitendra.

Hi,
I've you found a nice way to do a continuous report? If so, it would be nice to post it here.
The way I've found is far from being nice, but, well, it works.
I have three report
- the master
- the head report
- the body report
1:
The master report is an empty report. The only thing it does is produce some HTML code for a frameset (declared in the 'Before Form Value' of the report property palette). This frameset is built from the two other reports, the first being the head report (its corresponding frame being not resizable, with no scroll bar) and the second being the body report. That way, I have HTML code looking like :
<html>
<frameset rows="1*,19*">
<FRAME name="A" frameborder=0 noresize scrolling=no SRC="url of the head report">
<FRAME name="B" frameborder=0 SRC="url of the body report">
</FRAMESET>
</HTML>
For the "sub-reports"' URL, I had trouble placing the desformat and destype parameter because Reports see &desformat as a lexical reference to the value of the desformat for the report being generated. So, bored, I finally used the 'run' shortcut of the cgicmd.dat file (search for that in the Reports manuals). I then ended up with URL like :
http://computer.server.com/dev60cgi/rwcgi60.exe?run+param+param+param+param
where params are the usual rwcgi60 parameters needed to produce a report.
2:
The head report contains only the headers for the columns. There's no repeating frame or whatever. The text boilerplate objects of the headers are on the top of the report, the rest being empty.
3:
The body report has been modified so the body section of the report (the rectangle with thick black borders) fills completely the height of the report. Inside it, I've created a repeating frame, its height being a divider of the height of the report. What I mean is : my report is 11" high, so I've created a repeating frame 0.5" high. That way, there would be no space between pages.
And that's about it.
Well, I'm not sure this is a very viable solution, and I admit I don't really like this kind of hacking in a professionnal reports structure. But if beauty is not your primary concern, maybe this thing should help.
... but I haven't found yet out how to place the report footer... ;-)
Anyway, I hope all this can inspire you a little bit,
Frederic :-)

Windows 7 Screenshots while in Bootcamp...

How can you take a screenshot of your desktop while booted in Windows 7? There's no print screen button in my Macbook Pro keyboard.

The PrtScn button for Mac Alu. Keybd. is F14 above Home button with coffee stain. This is Not your answer.
In Windows 7 from Start button->All Programs->Accessories->Ease of Access->On-Screen Keyboard has a big PrtScn button. Still not your answer but useful.
From Start->Help and Support; search argument "Clipboard" yields:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Take-a-screen-capture-print-your-scr een
Hints on reducing "Paint" size of jpg,png by pixel count. This is useful if screen setting is at full resolution; 1920x1080 setting will make a large picture, blah blah Etc.
When you do find the key, the following script will "paste" result of your pressing PrtScn to desktop like Mac 's Cmd-Shft-3. Though not as good as Mac method, I prefer this to Snipping when less interaction, need for speed: Live TV, Video etc.
You can copy text between the ++ lines into(paste) a (Desktop) RightClick New->TextDocument and rename it to PasteScn.vbs .....You can run this from your desktop or move it somewhere, create a shortcut to desktop.
In Windows 7, I have it in MyToolbar (create by right click Taskbar->Toolbars->New Toolbar) not to be confused with Taskbar where Pins are on left side of taskbar. If you pin it to the taskbar, OS adds a script icon within making it necessary to run shortcut by right click selection which is too slow.
Then whenever you've done PrtScn, you click on the PasteScn icon & Picture(n).jpg will be sent to Desktop.
Occasionally I've had the paste invoke do nothing, perhaps because of clipboard activity. Solution is to hit PrtScn again.
If anyone knows how to include script for the PrtScn key function, we would have as good as what we got in Mac.

Jstatd question

Hello there! I'm trying to get jstad running, but I'm running with some issues.
I'm using
jstatd -J-Djava.security.policy=jstatd.all.policy where this file has:
grant codebase "file:${java.home}/../lib/tools.jar" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
first I was getting this message:
Could not bind /JStatRemoteHost to RMI Registry
java.rmi.ConnectIOException: non-JRMP server at remote endpoint
at sun.rmi.transport.tcp.TCPChannel.createConnection(TCPChannel.java:217)
at sun.rmi.transport.tcp.TCPChannel.newConnection(TCPChannel.java:171)

at sun.tools.jstatd.Jstatd.bind(Jstatd.java:40)
at sun.tools.jstatd.Jstatd.main(Jstatd.java:126)
So I changed to port 1098 because I read somewhere here that JBoss binds the naming to 1099 but the socket to 1098 or something like that.
Tried jstatd -J-Djava.security.policy=jstatd.all.policy -p 1098
and now I get this message:
Could not bind //:1098/JStatRemoteHost to RMI Registry
java.rmi.NoSuchObjectException: no such object in table

at sun.tools.jstatd.Jstatd.main(Jstatd.java:126)
What's wrong in jstatd commands I'm using?
Best regards and happy holidays

Here's the easiest way to run jstatd as a windows service.
On server:
Verify that the following command works on your system:
D:\jdk1.5.0_12\bin\jstatd.exe -J-Djava.security.policy=D:\jdk1.5.0_12\policies\jstatd.all.policy
Verify srvany is on your system (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/137890)
Run the following command on your system to create a service using SRVANY:
INSTSRV Jstat_Deamon %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\SRVANY.EXE
a.     In the REGEDT32 window, browse the following path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\SERVICES\Jstat_Deamon
b.     Click once on Jstat_Deamon, and go to EDIT, add KEY, and put the word Parameters in the �name� field (Leave the �class� field empty)
c.     Click on the Parameters key that was just entered and go to EDIT, add VALUE, named Application (use the default Data Type of REG_SZ)
d.     When prompted enter D:\jdk1.5.0_12\bin\jstatd.exe -J-Djava.security.policy=D:\jdk1.5.0_12\policies\jstatd.all.policy
e.     Exit REGEDT32
Set service to manual
Start service
On the remote machine:
Verify jdk1.5 (or above) and jvmstat3 exist
Create a text file called console.bat as follows:
set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_02
SET JVMSTAT_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jvmstat3.0
set PATH=%JVMSTAT_HOME%\bat;%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%PATH%
SET JVMSTAT_JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_02
Create shortcut to bat file with following target:
%ComSpec% /K "C:\Program Files\Java\jvmstat3.0\bat\console.bat"
Run shortcut
Enter the following commands
jps hostname
visualgc pid@hostname

I downloaded 4.0 when prompted, but it did not open upon completion and now shortcut does not work and cannot find file to run 4.0 in the firefox folder. Tried restarts and reinstalling 3.6 which now also won't work for me. Ideas?

I downloaded 4.0 when prompted yesterday. Seemed to download normally but did not automatically start following download even though that option was checked. The shortcut now is broken and efforts to fix it fail because the file cannot be found. Checked the firefox folder and do not see a file to run firefox. Tried restarting twice with no luck. Then tried multiple times to reinstall 4.0 with no success. Then tried uninstalling and reinstalling 3.6 with same result.

OK. Got it figured out. Disabled my virus scanning software and the download worked perfectly. Should have thought of that before now.

Automatically run a keyboard shortcut after opening a document

I unknowingly posted this elsewhere, but was asked to post this here.
I have a curio document/template that I use often.
Curio has a mode called: full screen view, which only works by:
the keyboard shortcut: Cmd *
or by: click on Window and then clicking on Full Screen
I'm looking for a way to have all my documents open up full screen every time I open curio (or curio documents). Is there an apple script or automator action possible for this? Can you pls help? I'm new to this. Thanks.
I tried what was posted by arthur, but apart from the document opening up in curio, it does not go to full screen.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11128555#11128555
Maybe something's wrong with my workflow. I noticed that Curio is not coming to front. Is that it?
I then tried the link provided by baltwo, and installed automatedworflows.com demo 'type keystroke', but i only get the demo pop-up.
I appreciate any help. Thx.

then the workflow should be like this.
1. open "finder items".
2. run "apple script"
on run {input, parameters}
tell application "Curio" to activate
tell application "System events" to keystroke "8" using {command down, shift down}
end run
save it as an application and put it on the desktop and/or in the dock. also go to system preferences->universal access and check the box to enable access to assistive devices.
now when you drop a file onto your automator application it should open that file with Curio and then execute the shortcut commandshift8.

Is there a way to open a second firefox instance using a shortcut key (i.e. Ctrl + Alt + 9), while a first instance is already running?

This happens both in Windows XP and Windows 7. Firefox is the only application that does not allow this consistently (this works with MS-Word, Google Chrome, Notepad etc.).

Yes, but {Ctrl + N} is useful only when you are already in Firefox. I meant quickly launching Firefox while using another application via a user-assigned shortcut key. For example, I am writing a text in MS-Word and I want to run a quick Wikipedia search; now, if Firefox is already running in the background, my shortcut for Firefox (e.g Ctrl + Alt + 9) won't do anything - it will only launch Firefox, if it is the first Firefox window to be opened. Thanks anyway though!

Running a java class from a windows shortcut?

I am currently running a program I have written from a batch file for which I have created a shortcut. I have recently however modified my shortcut to include a variable that i pass to the main method in the program through the batch file - all this works fine.
It did however get me thinking - why can't I do away with the batch file??
Below is the batch file code that loads my software:
Echo Off
CLS
SET CLASSPATH=.;"C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_03\bin"
SET Path="C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_03\bin"
C:
CD\
CD "Program Files\My App"
start "My App" javaw My_App %1
And the two shortcut strings that call the batch file:
"C:\Program Files\My App\My_App.bat" var1
"C:\Program Files\My App\My_App.bat" var2
What I have been trying to do however, is do all of the above from the shortcut
I have added the following code to a shortcut:
Target:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c SET CLASSPATH=.;"C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_03\bin" && SET Path="C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_03\bin" && start javaw "My App" My_App
Start In:
"C:\Program Files\My App"
All of the relevant paths are set correctly, and it calls the main java class file from the directory from where it resides, but I get a popup error message stating:
Java Virtual Machine
Error: Could not fing Java 2 Runtime Environment.
Has anybody got any ideas on how to fix this please??

Either I'm misunderstanding, or ?
You don't need to set classpath if all you need for a classpath is the directory that contains the classfile - the Start in combined with -cp . // that's -cp followed by a periodsets the classpath to that value, and Windows will create a fully qualified path to javaw.
You entries in the shortcut shouldn't have to be any more than what I typed.

I have a new iMac running OS 10.9 when I use the Command S shortcut it no longer saves the active document it speaks it instead.

I have a new iMac running OS 10.9. When I use the Command S shortcut in any of my apps (numbers, text edit etc), it no longer saves the active document it speaks it instead. How can I revert to the save shortcut function?

have you looked in
system preference->Dictiation & speech if it's assigned there?
or system preference->accessibility if it's assigned there?

With FireFox as my default browser, I create a shortcut on the desktop as per instructions in 'help' but when I click on the shortcut it opens in a browser which is not even running.

With FireFox as my default browser, I create a shortcut on the desktop as per instructions in 'help' but when I click on the shortcut it opens in a browser which is not even running.

-
Make absolutely certain that FireFox is designated as your default browser.
Do this: Tools / Options / Advanced / Check Now / correct the setting
OR right click on any shortcut icon / Open With / Choose Default Program / select desired Browser / check Always... box / OK

I updated firefox to version 8. When I click on the shortcut to open the browser nothing happens. It doesn't open. I checked the process in my task manager and it says it is running. Any idea what's up?

Running Windows Vista 32 bit

I just clicked up there on "I have this problem too" and then began tinkering with Windows. What I've found out: if I go to firefox.exe properties and run as administrator, it works -- Firefox opens. The only hitch is that for every instance of FF I open, I get that annoying box asking me if I will allow FF to make changes to my computer, as if it were a new install. I also lose the capacity to open instances in tabs... This is not a workable solution to the problem, but perhaps it will provide someone with useful insight to help fix this issue.
BTW, I run Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bits.
After an hour or so of research, I've found a runaround for the UAC issue (basically changing permissions specifically for Firefox, without changing my global settings), and now I have a nice Firefox icon on my desktop, with no irritating boxes popping up every time I click on it. And Firefox works! Here's the runaround:

I am running my canon camera on the EOS utility program for mac, and i was wondering if there is a keyboard shortcut to start video recording, instead of using the mouse.

I am using EOS utility for MAC to run my canon camera at work. I have a foot switch connected to my macbook that allows me to take snapshots with my foot while i work ( i am a dentist and i have my camera hooked to a microscope). the way i did that is by programming a keyboard shortcut that snaps photos on EOS utility, to the foot switch software.
So my question is: On EOS there is a video recording function, so i was wondering if there is a keyboard shortcut or if i can create a keyboard shortcut for the start/stop record function for video recording..

Run java program in task bar and create a shortcut

Hi all,
Do you have any idea about how to run a Java task in taskbar on windows. I am writing a application in Java and it needs to monitor mouse movements. I need to collect the file paths it selects and then drag and drop on Shortcut Icon on Desktop which finally triggers the actual GUI application written in Java where again these files are fed as input. If you have any Idea or suggessions about how to do this.
Thanks,
Regards,
Ravikiran

Ok..
To create a shortcut on your desktop w2k/xp:
1. right click on desktop, select new: Shortcut
2. in "Type location of item" type:
   "javaw -classpath C:\ebjava\ DragTest"
   (Replace c:\ebjava\ with location of your Java app and DragTest with name of your app)
3. Click next, and enter a name for your shortcut and click finishFor your Java app.. do something like this.
import javax.swing.*;
public class DragTest extends JFrame {
   JTextArea area;
   public DragTest () {
      area = new JTextArea();
      getContentPane().add(area, "Center");
      setBounds(0, 0, 400, 400);
      setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
   public void append(String s) {
      area.append(s);
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      DragTest test = new DragTest();
      test.setVisible(true);
      if(args.length > 0) {
         for(int i = 0; i < args.length; i++) {
            test.append(args);
test.append("\n");
else {
test.append("No args were supplied");
When you drag files, or other shortcuts onto your shortcut the app will start and the full file name (including full path) will show up as a string argument. This is the best you're going to get.
Hope this helps.
