Strange folders appearing in "Save As" dialog box

Hello
*Description of Problem or Question:
If you open a Web Intelligence report that has been sent to you from your Inbox I have noticed there are "extra" folders I wouldn't expect to see. As an administrator and can see the following extra "strange" folders:
Categories
Inboxes
Internal Storage Folder
Personal Categories
Root Folder
Temporary Storage
User Folders
(Please see attached screenshot)
As a non-admin user I can only see the extra folder "Root Folder".
This does look odd for a non-admin user as they see the same folder structure twice. E.g:
Public Folders
>>Finance Reports
>>Operations Reports
>>Root Folder
>>>>>Finance Reports
>>>>>Operations Reports
Any ideas on how to hide these folders from the "save as" dialog box?
It does only seems to happen if a report is opened from a users Inbox.

Sorry I wasn't clear! When I try to save a 'PDF' file the "save as" dialog box opens. At the bottom the 'file name'is listed and below that it says, "save as type". You then pick what file type you want, like Adobe Reader for PDF. It used to say Adobe Reader as one of the choices but when I downloaded "Rocket PDF" it only says "Rocket PDF or "all files" as the only choices to save the document, no more Adobe Reader as a choice. I have deleted Rocket PDF and under 'default programs (Start button) I have set the "Pdf. files to open with Adobe Reader. Rocket PDF is still listed or' all files', nothing else! How can I get Adobe Reader as a choice back in the 'save as type' box?
Thanks for any help.

  • Save Open dialog box opening very slow

    I have windows 7 professional 64bit OS. whenever i try to open/save as dialog box it appears very slow, then it will say it is not responding then after 10-15sec it will come alive.
    Need help!!!!!!

    Blair,
    I followed your suggestions above....reset IE ...clean boot. Didn't solve the problem.  (had trouble making that MSCONFIG window bigger !? <wink>)
    Problem still exists.  And to be clear, here is the problem(s) ...I believe they are all interrelated.
    #1.  I end the explorer.exe process and restart it.  Run Explorer and start clicking folders in my FAVORITES.  System hangs for about 10 seconds before it catches up.
    Alternatly, after a explorer.exe restart, if I run explorer and start clicking down through folders from the C: drive, there is no hang.   SUSPECT - some sort of file for favorites needs to be rebuilt?!
    #2. Open MS Word.  Type a few letters.  Select File/Save.  Most icons under Favorites are white.  Trying clicking more than one, but system hangs for ten seconds until icons fill in.
    #3.  WINDOWS button, start typing in the search INTERNET....5-10 seconds before Internet Explorer (and other INT* things show up.!  Usually this is instantaneous.
    System Info:
    Great machine and fast for over a year, and now this started FYI.

    ACTIONS TAKEN:  (estimated 30 reboots today)
    - Ensure all folders are GENERAL under properties
    - Advanced Attributes - turned off "allow files on this drive to have contents indexed in addition to file properties"
    - Checked Indexed location is C: drive/ User/ just my data areas....reindexed
    - Tried reboot with Windows Search service disabled....no help.  Turned back on.
    - Tried MS Essentials off.  Tried Firewall off
    - Rebuilt ICONCACHE - was 8mb, now less 450kb
    - Archived OUTLOOK down to a reasonable size (and had to do the manual compress to reduce the file size after)
    - turned off some Windows visual effects.
    - Turned off Dropbox from autostarting....this was before I tried the Clean Boot
    - turned by ON (default)  in Startup - though it has Unknown MFG and no details  :~(   , i found that it likely is needed for my 64 bit machine.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • 'Save as Type' box in 'Save As' dialog box

    I recently downloaded 'Rocket PDF' and now if I try to save any PDF. document, the only choices in the 'save as type' box are 'Rocket PDF' or 'All files'.

Still, the only choices on the 'save as type ' are 'Rocket PDF' or 'All files'! How do I get Adobe Reader PDF' back as a choice in the 'save as type' box and delete 'Rocket PDF' as a choice?

  • How do you customise the finder "save as" dialog box?

    Hi
    I get a lot of email with attachments that I need to work on - word documents and powerpoint slides mainly.
    I am still running Snow Leopard and I think Finder is very frustrating. Has it been improved in this aspect in Mountain Lion?
    Firstly, if I look at the email and click the "save" box next to the attachment, it immediately puts the attachment in the download folder. I dont want that. I want to be given a dialog box giving me options where to save the file in my heirachy of folders that I have set up by client and project. Sending it to the download folder is a naff default, but I cannot find a way to change this default?
    Secondly, if i scroll down to the bottom of the email to see the attached file, and then right click to "save as", I get a dialog that is devoid of all the customisation options I have chosen for the standard finder view. For examply, I cannot get the "path" to be displayed as part of the "save as" dialog box.
    This is all pretty fundamental stuff, and Windows have been able to offer much better customisation and default setting in Windows Explorer for years. WHy is OSX so far behind in this aspect?
    Is Lion better?
    Do I have to fork out an additional $35 for each of my 3 macs to buy "Default Folder" just to get something that should be basic workflow management within the OSX  
    Am I missing something?

    Thanks Jeffry
    Yes I am using the expanded save dialog.
    Thanks for pointing out how to change the default save location away from the downloads folder.
    What I really want, though, is for when I press the "save" button next to an attachment in the email, then I want to be given the choice of where to save it, and easy ways of navigating to my recent folders, favourite folders etc. Each file I save will need to go to a folder dependent upon which client it is, so just saving then all by default into "Documents" for example, means that after saving them, I then need to go and move them to the correct location.
    How to I get to have a choice if where to save whenever I press the SAVE button

    Where did you get this command from? There's no such thing in Acrobat
    JavaScript as a Save object or an execevent method.
    Also, there's no need to save a file in a batch process. It happens
    automatically. If you really want to do it, use the saveAs method of the
    Document object. Have a look at the reference files to see how it's done.

  • Save As dialog box sort order

    I have a user with Adobe Acrobat 7 Standard installed on Windows XP SP3.  When they go to save a pdf document, the Save As dialog box is in list view and not sorted by folder/file name by default.  So, they have to change to Details view and then change the sort to be by name.  They have to do this every time they save a document.  Is there a way to change this?  They would like the sort order to be by name every time they open the Save As dialog box.

  • Save as dialog box expanded to full screen, edge arrows flicker and will not pull the edges in.

    This problem presented itself out of the blue. The Save As dialog box expanded to full screen, and although the arrows that appear when the mouse cursor is over the edge of a window are present, they flicker and do not grab the edge to pull it in. Every other window on the computer does not have an issue like this. Restarting Firefox or the computer does not eliminate the problem. I am hoping that there is a settings file somewhere that the numeric value for the dialog box size can be changed, since I do not want to completely reinstall the browser.
    As a side note, if the browser has been running many downloads for a while, it will usually start failing to display information, and eventually will get to a point where the Save As box flickers for an instant and disappears and the entire browser becomes unresponsive for an hour or more. Downloads continue (including the one that it froze up on, albeit as a randomly named file in User...Temp), but it is not possible to restart the browser until the downloads complete (which in some cases can be several hours). Usually I revert to using IE11 until I can restart Firefox.
    Perhaps one of my strongest dislikes of Firefox though is the issue with its resistance to copy and paste operations in the Save As dialog box. Most websites offer files with cryptic and even identical names for different files, so renaming files is a critical operation if one is to keep track of and later identify the files one has. A problem unique to Firefox, attempts to highlight and paste in a better file name usually are met with a refusal to paste, a stuck context menu that can take a minute of clicking to clear, repeated jumping to the end of the file name, and other similar issues. I have encountered this problem repeatedly on different computers and different operating systems, it is a problem I have only ever encountered in Firefox.

    cor-el,
    I kept forgetting and procrastinating about following your instructions, since I have internet access only for limited amounts of time and usually I am busy with important tasks when I am.
    Out of the blue, the problem corrected itself (the Save As box started to open full screen, then shrunk down to a normal size and the edges can now be dragged to a custom size).
    Even the copy and paste problem in the filenaming area seems to have been less troublesome lately even though there have been no updates to Firefox in a few weeks.
    Even though I marked the solution as not helpful, the problem has in fact been resolved. I will save the solution instructions in case the issue returns.

  • Blank page shown instead of Open/Save As dialog box-CSV file download in IE

    I am migrating an application hosted earlier on Oracle 9iAS (9.0.3.1 BP1) to OracleAS 10g (10.1.3) with Struts 1.2.9. While the below JSP code worked for the earlier s/w stack when accessed using IE 5.5 SP2 or above, a blank page is displayed with the new s/w stack. What I mean by "worked earlier" is this. A "Open/Save As" dialog box would appear. Trying to "Open" would open a new IE window launching MS Excel and displaying correct data. Trying to "Save As" would display correct filename and extension in the dialog box.
    <%@page autoFlush="false" contentType="application/x-filler"%>
    <%
    try
    String fileName = "ABC.CSV";
    String strData = "A,B,C";
    response.setContentLength(strData.length());
    response.setHeader("Content-Type","application/octet-stream");
    response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","inline;filename="+fileName);
    ServletOutputStream ouputStream = response.getOutputStream();
    ouputStream.write(strData.getBytes(), 0, strData.getBytes().length);
    ouputStream.flush();
    ouputStream.close();
    catch(Exception e)
    %>
    I tried some changes listed below:
    1. Deliberately introduced compilation errors in the JSP code.
    2. Changed contentType="application/x-filler" to various MIME types like application/x-download, application/vnd.ms-excel, removing it altogether.
    3. Commented out response.setHeader("Content-Type","application/octet-stream") and also tried other MIME types related to CSV/Excel.
    4. Changed Content-Disposition from inline to attachment.
    Each of the above resulted in an unacceptable behaviour compared with the earlier state:
    1. Blank page shown as if nothing was happening even in case of deliberate incorrect JSP syntax.
    2. Dialog box did show up with some combinations. But on trying to "Open" or "Save As", the dialog box shows up a second time. Then while trying to "Open", the contents get opened either inline or in MS Excel but with some additional garbage data like source file name.jsp etc. While trying to "Save As" the file name and extension take on the pattern <URL_Pattern>.htm where URL_Pattern would be "DOWNLOAD_ACTION.do".
    Some other information:
    1. This code works when accessed from desktop local container (Win 2000) but not when deployed on Unix env (HP-UX B.11.11.0109).
    2. Latest patchsets are installed for IE.
    3. The existing application is designed to work for ONLY IE 5.5 SP2 or above, so I haven't tried with other browsers. I have tried both IE 5.5 SP2 and 6.0 SP1.
    Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks a lot for your valuable time..

    I have made it to work with the below changes:
    1. Changed the URL pattern for <filter-mapping> for *.jsp to /*.jsp
    2. Added <dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher> and <dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
    3. Everything else (code-wise) is as before.
    Because of these changes, the filter, wherein some headers are being added to the response, is being invoked appropriately now.
    Thanks for you time and suggestion though...

  • Navigate in Word's "Save As" dialog box without mouse

    I want to create macros (using QuicKeys) that will Save As documents created in Word using keystrokes alone (no mouse action).  In OS 10.5x this could be done by going to the top level of folders that could be selected (this part still works in Snow Leopard); pressing the "tab" key three times (until the first item in the list of folders where I could save was selected); then typing the first letter or two of another folder in the list to select it.  In Snow Leopard there seems to be no way to do the second action (for which pressing "tab" three times formerly worked)—although pressing "tab" does navigate to several other places in Word's "Save As" dialog box.  Am I wrong?

    For the benefit of everyone who has been anxiously awaiting a solution to the problem I posed above on May 9 (both of you), I've found the following workarounds for most navigation needs in Word when doing an Open or Save As... command (these work at least in Mac OS 10.6.8):
    (1) To go UP the hierarchy of volumes and folders, press Command -Ÿ [up arrow key].
    (2) To go DOWN the hierarchy of volumes and folders (that is, to open a volume or folder that you have selected), press Shift - Return.
    Examples of how to use those moves:
    After you trigger Word's “Open” or “Save As...” command, press Command - [up arrow key]Ÿ a few times to get to the root level of the  network, drive, or whatever you are working in.  (How many times you need to press that combination will depend on how many levels it contains.  But if you are making a macro to do this, have it do that key pressing several times—because once you get to the root level of the network, drive, or whatever, pressing that combination more times does nothing.)
    Press Tab three times. This normally results in selecting some volume (or folder) at the root level.
    To select another volume (or folder) at the root level, type the first character(s) of its name, or press the [up arrow key]Ÿ or [down arrow key] as appropriate.
    To open a particular folder within that volume (or folder), type the first character(s) of its name to select it, and press Shift - Return; repeat as needed until you get where you wanted to go.
    If anyone else likes to use macros to reduce effort in this way, and discovers any better ways to do such things, please add to this thread. 

  • On a MBP with Mavericks how do I get the Save As dialog box to open at the same size and place at which it was last closed and used to happen before Mavericks?

    Before I upgraded my MBP to Mavericks, the Save As dialog box would reopen at the same size and position as it was when last closed.  Now with Mavericks it always opens in the same position at a very small size.  Is there a way to make it reopen at the last place and size at which it was closed?

    I have resolved the issues presented without having to find and uninstall the Macromedia Flash Player 8.0 in order to get "Adobe Flash Player 10" playback of .swf files on my computer. When I begin this task, I expected to download an "Adobe Flash Player 10" as a player program download instead of the Internet Explorer and Firefox plugin that it appears to be.
    This is what I did and what I believe I have:
    1. I setup Internet Explorer 6 as my default browser and then used the following site to download Adobe Flash Player 10
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/
    2. As I had done before (and also suggested in another thread here), I went to Tools/Manage Add Ons and found Shockwave Flash Object, highlighted it, and clicked on Update Active X. Next, what I did not do before, I restarted the computer immediately after that.
    3. Next, I set Mozilla Firefox as my default browser and then used the above site to download Adobe Flash Player 10 again.
    4. With Firefox, the critical step included Firefox Tools/Options/Content with File Types (Configure how Firefox handles certain types of files) and the Manage Tab there. SWF Shockware Flash Object/Change Action/and dotting "use this plugin" - Shockwave Flash, followed by a computer restart got the job done.
    Now, if I want playback of a .swf file, I can
    a. Open With Internet Explorer (assumed with the Adobe Flash 10 "plugin")
    b. Open With Mozilla Firefox (assumed with the Adobe Flash 10 "plugin")
    c. Open With Macromedia Flash Player 8.0
    I am satisfied with those results for my use. Any additional comments on the player vs plugin aspect of the matter would be interesting and helpful.

  • Can the save as dialog box be over-ridden?

    Is it possible to use the SDK to supress the Save As dialog box that appears when doing a digital signature?
    Over-riding the regular Save As menu via replacing the AVDocDoSaveAsSEL HFT doesn't seem to have that effect.

    Our company does online Document Management for accounting firms. One of the firms uses signatures to mark a return as finished / reviewed by a partner before going out to the IRS. They wanted to have an option to have the Save As skipped because they're going to upload the document afterwards anyway.

  • How can I add form field value to the file name in save as dialog box

    I do not want the form to be saved automatically, just want the form to auto populate the "file name" only.
    A little background on the forms I want to use:  My company has 70 retail outlets, I'll use one of our pdf forms called an "Incident Report" as an example.  I would like for a store manager to be able to complete the form, then email the form to the main office (I already have javascript to add field values and form name to the email subject line), once the main office receives it, I want for them to be able to file the pdf electronically on our server.  We have mutliple forms that we use so I do not want any of the forms to automatically save anywhere, (at this time anyway) I just want the office personnel to be able to click "save as" (or whatever they will need to click) and the form automatically add certain field values from the pdf they have received, of which will be different each time the form is sent to the office (Date, store #, employee name etc.) in addition to the name of the form in the "File name" of the "Save As" dialog box.  The main office employees will decide into which server file the pdf should be saved.
    I'm using Acrobat 8 professional, the stores and office personnel use Adobe reader.
    One little note:  We currently print and file a lot of paper on a daily bases, as soon as I can get this to work, we are going green.
    Me and a lot of trees in this will really apprecitate any help you can give with this!  :-)

    You might want to take a look at the document "Developing Acrobat Applications Using JavaScript" (js_developer_guide.pdf) which is part of the Adobe Acrobat SDK, which can be downloaded here. Read the "Privileged versus non-privileged context" (p. 45ff.). You will find an example for "Executing privileged methods in a non-privileged context". Should be almost exactly what you are looking for.
    Small Outline: For security reasons ("the user always has to know what's going on") you are not allowed to use the "Doc.saveAs"-method without the user permission (--> in a non-privileged context). In order to reach the goal of a privileged context you can use a trusted function. You do this by creating a JavaScript file (*.js) in either the Application-JavaScript-Folder (default location on Windows systems: "%ProgramFiles%\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Javascripts") or the User-JavaScript-Folder (default location on Windows systems: "%AppData%\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0\JavaScripts"). Add the following content to the new file:
    myTrustedBrowseForDoc = app.trustedFunction( function ( oArgs ) {
         app.beginPriv();
              var myTrustedRetn = app.browseForDoc( oArgs );
         app.endPriv();
         return myTrustedRetn;
    myTrustedSaveAs = app.trustedFunction( function ( doc, oArgs ) {
         app.beginPriv();
              var myTrustedRetn = doc.saveAs( oArgs );
         app.endPriv();
         return myTrustedRetn;
    The developer guide actually wants you to add this content to the existing "config.js" file. I recommend creating a new file, since its easier to deploy in a network. Either way, every client/user who needs to be able to save documents this way, needs this JavaScript Code in his Application/User-JavaScript-Folder.
    Within the Acrobat Document, which you want to obtain a certain file name, you can now use the trusted functions "myTrustedBrowseForDoc" and "myTrustedSaveAs" to store the file. To call the trusted functions and deliver the file name you can either you use a form field (button) or you add a new menu item. Add the following JavaScript Action to the button/menu item and change "Roller Coaster" to the name of the field which contains the value which you want to become the new file name:
    var fileName = this.getField("Roller Coaster").valueAsString;
    try {
         var oRetn = myTrustedBrowseForDoc({bSave: true, cFilenameInit: fileName + ".pdf"});
         try {
              myTrustedSaveAs(this, { cPath: oRetn.cPath, cFS:oRetn.cFS });
         catch(e) {
              console.println("Save not allowed, perhaps readonly.");
    catch(e) {
    console.println("User cancelled Save As dialog box");
    Good Luck!

  • How can I get the "Open" and "Save As" dialog boxes to open at larger than their default size?
