Set program defaults

Win 7 professional, upgraded from CS3 to CS5.5...
I have a user that is trying to set Illustrator 5.1 as the default program for .dwg files. Currently it is set to use the CS3 version as default. I have tried using the Default Programs application in Control Panel and tried using the Opens With... context menu from a .dwg file with no success. I have looked through the Preferences menu in Illustrator 5.1 to see if there was a way to do it there, but no luck.
Any suggestions? Do I need to remove CS3 first?
Thanks for your help

That may be ok. There are many programs that can handle images.
If you look closely at my screen capture you will see several windows open.
My Start button showing the start of all Program you may notice several versions of Photoshop and bridge.
I also open windows default Program and its first two items "set your default programs" and "Associate a file type or protocol with a Program"
In window set default Program you may notice there is no version of Photoshop in it just like on your system.
In window Associate a file type or protocol with a Program that Photoshop CC is associated with jp2 jpg and others. I probably should also associate jpeg with Photoshop CC instead of FastPictureViewer.
Its a bit messy and applications keep trying to associate themselves with a file type. If you need to reinstall CS2 after a newer version of Photoshop associations get changed to CS2. You need to change associations back to CC or reinstall CC on top of itself.
In fact when I just changed Jpeg to CC. CC did not show in Open with till after I click on other programs or I browsed to the exe

Firefox does not appear in 'set program defaults panel in Win 7', running firefox 4.1

In Win 7 Pro (up to date) Associate protocol with a default program, Firefox is not an option, only IE.

Go to Tools -> Options -> Advanced Section: General Tab. On the bottom there is System Defaults. Click Check Now to see if Firefox is the default browser. Click Yes on the pop up window.
Firefox is now back in the list for default programs and it your default browser again.

After Upgrading Acrobat Reader XI to Acrobat XI Pro the previewer in Outlook and Windows Explorer doesn't work. I have to set the default program for .pdf's to Acrobat Reader inorder for the previewer to work.

After Upgrading Acrobat Reader XI to Acrobat XI Pro the previewer in Outlook and Windows Explorer doesn't work. I have to set the default program for .pdf's to Acrobat Reader in order for the previewer to work.
Can anyone recommend a solution?

If I set the default program for viewing PDF as Acrobat XI Pro the a PDF file will open with Acrobat XI Pro, but in Outlook I will get a white screen and the information bubble "This file cannot be previewed because there is no previewer installed for it" and in Windows Explorer I get a white screen in the preview pane.
My Acrobat version is 11.0.10
I am running Windows 7 Professional with Service Pack 1
My Internet Explorer is Version 11.0.9600.17691

In "Set your default programs" under Win7, file associations of Firefox are tampered!

In "Set your default programs" under the Control Panel of Windows 7, Firefox does appears in the "Programs" list on the left. But, its icon is that of Windows Media Player.
After I click on the program's name (Firefox) to display the details on the right, I notice the icon for Firefox becomes that of Windows Media Player, too. And, "Mozilla Corporation" becomes "Microsoft Corporation."
If I click on "Set this program as default", files of these types are opened by Windows Media Player, not by Firefox:
htm, html, shtml, xht, xhtml.
So, I have to manually associate those file types with Firefox from "Associate a file type or protocol with a specific program."
To solve this problem, what registry entries should I edit?

I don't know if the extensions I use for version 19.2 suit the latest version. So, I just re-installed 19.2, and all is well now. Thank you very much for your help.
After the re-installation, I noticed there is a string value '''Firefox''' under
''HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\RegisteredApplications''
This registry key contains all the program names listed in '''Set your default programs'''. So, I guess that if the string '''Firefox''' points to Windows Media Player, I get the trouble.

PSE 10 is not shown in windows 8 "set your default programs"

PSE 10 isn't shown as an option in windows 8 "set your default programs".
Selecting individual file types doesn't help me much when, apart from .jpgs
and .tiffs, I don't know all the file types PSE 10 can open and I want it to open
everything it can. I do not want Windows 8 opening my stuff. Any ideas?

I am needing to set the DEFAULT Print to be ACTUAL SIZE not FIT. I need this to be the DEFAULT SETTING for the program.

I have a couple users using Acrobat XI Pro and when they print a PDF it is shrunk to 96.08%. I need to find a way to set the DEFAULT Setting to be Actual Size. We are a Law Firm and the Document Numbering is being cut off from the docs due to the Shrinking.
Has anyone had any experience in changing the DEFAULT settings of the Print Window? Can you please pass along any knowledge on how to accomplish this? Thanks for your time and replies.

Acrobat and Reader's Fit and Scale functions are "sticky".
From the Print Dialog > Page Size & Handling
Any option you choose will remain active for all subsequent documents.
(Some features remain active until the program is quit/restarted)
Choose Actual Size
Do not change the selection, it will retain the setting.

How can I set the default home page for all new users in Firefox 4

I'm trying to deploy FF 4.0rc1 in a corporate environment but I can't find a way to set the default home page or any other settings for that matter.
Is there a way to set the default home page for all new users and lock it so that the users can't change home page?
Best regards
Jonas

In Firefox 4 the template folder for new profiles (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\profile\
) doesn't exist. You can create that \defaults\profile\ folder and place a file user.js in it with the prefs that you want to initialize.
See:
*http://www-archive.mozilla.org/catalog/end-user/customizing/briefprefs.html
You can also use a mozilla.cfg file to set the default value for prefs.<br />
See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

How do I set my default Shockwave Flash object viewer to Firefox 4 RC?

In the previous version of Firefox, I set it as my default Shockwave Flash viewer (these were offline objects) by selection the application in my program files.
When I upgraded to FF 4 RC, I was no longer able to view these files, nor was I able to find the application to default to (it was no longer in program files).
I tried setting the default viewer to the FF application located in Local Roaming but it won't appear in either the 'recommended' or 'other' when selected.
I can however still view these SWFs by clicking and dragging them onto the FF window. This isn't a major issue but I'd like to know if and how this can be fixed.
Thanks

# Open Windows Explorer.
# Right-click a Shockwave Flash file (.SWF) and select '''Open with''' then '''Choose default program...'''
# Click the '''Browse''' button in the lower right corner of the window and choose the Firefox executable. If you've installed Firefox in the default location, its path is ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe''

Outlook 2013 set as default mail client but still shows error box saying it isn't?

We have recently installed Office 2013 64-bit on 4 servers. We previously used Outlook 2007 64-bit.
We set Outlook 2013 as the default mail client and do not have another mail client installed on the servers. However when you first login you get an error message box that says you have no default mail client 'either there is no default mail client or the
current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request'.
I have checked all defaults to be for Outlook 2013.
How can I solve this issue? I am an administrator.

Try different Method to set Outlook 2013 as the default mail client to check the result. Thanks.
Method 1:Set as default within outlook.
-File > Options > General Tab > select the "Make Outlook the default program for E-mail, Contacts, and Calendar"
check box.
Method 2: Set as default from the internet explorer.
-Tool > Internet Options > Programs Tab > Set programs
Method 3: Set as default from control panel.
1.Navigate to Control Panel\Default Programs\Set Default Programs
2.Click on the outlook icon on the left hand side.
3.Set as default.
We may also try to create anther windows user profile in the same machine to check if the issue still persists. Thanks.

Adobe Reader will not set as default application for .pdf in windows 8.1 pro x64

When I install adobe reader the icon/app changes from windows reader to Pick an app, I choose change and select adobe reader, the icons on my desktop flicker but nothing actually changes.Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs\Set Default Programs\Set Program Associations, Select adobe reader, Choose defaults for this program, PDF is unticked so I tick it and choose save, go back in and it is unticked again??? Right click on a pdf file, choose open with, choose default program, use this app for all .pdf files is ticked, select adobe...Still nothing changes, stays on pick an app. I uninstall adobe reader then the pdf icon changes to and default opens with windows reader again. Reinstall adobe reader and back to the same thing. ???? I am a power user, build configure computers and subsequent software, started with DOS 6.0, learned unix/linux/networking concepts/networking security/server versions of windows/active directory. The only solution I could think of was to hack the registry which I looked for but could not find. I am running 8.1 pro x64, I just discovered that windows reader (which I cant uninstall) has the same problem when adobe reader is installed. Windows will not allow either one to be set as default while they co-exist.

After an extended session with chat only to be told that since Adobe Reader was free they could not help me :-(... I figured it out myself.
I opened a administrator: command prompt window and typed "regedit" Through extensive searching and stumbled on this key located at... HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2274202122-2588692262-2244265822-1001_Classes\.pdf\OpenWithProgids The S-1-5-21...1001... is my current logged on user, your value may differ slightly. Typically the builtin disabled administrator account is 1000 and when you install windows and create a user account "John Doe" it will have administrator priveleges and be auto numbered 1001, every user account created therafter will increase by 1 ie...1002, 1003, 1004 etc. even if you remove (delete) an account and re-create it you wont get the same number, the system will use the next number in sequence. The old one will have been trashed never to be used again. Again here is the key...
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2274202122-2588692262-2244265822-1001_Classes\.pdf\OpenWithProgids I deleted this key under (default) on the right side...
Name                                                                       Type                                           Data
(Default)                                                                   REG_SZ                                    (value not set)
AppX86746z2101ayy2ygv3g96e4eqdf8r99j            REG_NONE                              (zero-length binary value) ---- This is the key to delete!!!
Personally I selected computer on the left side and the went to file/export then chose a file name [01 29 2014 regbackup.reg] and location. Then I selected "OpenWithProgids" and did the same thing,[pdf.reg] this saves a backup of the entire regestry and the key you are about to delete as a safety net. When you are done all you have to do is go to a pdf file, right click and choose open with...Adobe Reader - the box always use this app should already be checked.
I did this and it works yet because improper regestry modification can crash your system I am compelled to warn... Use at your own risk. If you are uncomfortable modifying your registry I would suggest consulting with someone qualified and has resources to do offline registry modifications/restorations which makes it VERY important to do the computer export registry backup.

How do you set the default magnification for Acrobat. All documents that I open enlarge to 174% and are too big.

How do you set the default magnification for Acrobat. All documents that I open enlarge to 174% and are too big. I see how to change the size after the document is open by going to File/properties/initial view and saving this setting. I want all documents to open at 100% when they are first opened. Can I set this as a default view?

Hey Kris,
You might go to Edit> Preferences> Zoom
Do this without opening any particular PDF so that it applies to the program itself and not just one document.
Try this and then let me know.

Anubha

Set as default value the Item Category in the Maintenance Order

Hello everyone,
We are trying to find a user exit in order to set as default value the item category in the Maintenance Order once the Material has been introduced (Tag Components).
SAP Customizing let the user set the Item Category automatically per Material Type, but we need to set different Item Categories to materials belonging to the same material type.
We would really appreciate any help relating this issue.
Thank you very much,
Víctor Liedo

Dear Paul,
Thank you very much for your response.
I had already tried customizing mentioned by Pithan, but it did not work because we need to set different Item Categories for Materials with same Material Type.
We have been searching for exits which may let us set Item Category in the Maintenance Order, but it does not seem to be possible.
What you say about adding some custom validation through user exit, not to set item category as default value, but to check if the one entered is valid, sounds the best way of achieving our commitments.
I have tried to look for CNEX0037 & CNEX0038, by using transactions SE37 and SE38, search for programs and functions modules, but it did not work. Could you please tell us what kind of objects are?
Thank you very much in advance.

How to use FlashVars to set the default option on a combobox

We are using XCelcius to display data in an XML file that is populated by another program using the Web Services approach.
On our widget, there is a combobox that allows the user to select a specific range of data. In Xcelcius, the value of this combobox can be defaulted using the Behavior->Default Options->Combo.
This is good, but this also means hardcoding a particular value. What we'd like to do is set the Default Option on the combobox via a FlashVar.
Is this level of behavior exposed via the FlashVars so we can define the default option in our HTML file?
Thanks for reading.

unfortunately you cannot dynamically set the default option in 'Any' selector - so your Flash Vars approach will not work

Since updating to Version 5 EU1.1, Firefox does not open from Outlook email links despite having all program defaults - how can I fix this, please?

Clicking on a weblink in an Outlook email fails to open the website in Firefox even when the browser is already open. Firefox is set as default browser. There was no problem with this before the latest Firefox update a few days ago.
I have tried changing program defaults to Internet Explorer (email links worked) and then back again to Firefox, but email links still don't work.
