Suppress the Default File Types dialogue, Office 2013 C2R

Hi.
We are doing a rather large Office 365 Proplus deployment using click-to-run via SCCM. We have the relevant group policys configured for the most part but we can't figure out how to get rid of the Default File Types dialogue box that pops up during the first
run of any of the Office applications. It asks the user if he/she wants to use Office XML or OpenOffice document formats.
When using the MSI-version and a custom install the administrator can answer this before creating the deployment package, but this is obviously not possible using C2R.
We have tried to set HKEY_USERS\<user_SID>\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\General
/v ShownFileFmtPrompt to 1, but it doesn't work. We have also set the default file type for each application but on first run, the dialogue box still shows.
How can we achieve a simple deployment from a user perspective? The picture below is the setting we want to configure.
Best regards
Joakim

Dito. This should have been solved when Office 2013 launched and there's still no official solution?

Can I change the default snooze interval in Office 2013?

Currently, the default for the snooze setting is set at 5 minutes. Can I change the default snooze interval in Office 2013?

I'm sorry to tell that we can't change the default snooze time in Outlook. We can just type a different time in it or select from the drop down.
For more information about the default snooze time behavior, you can refer:

How can I change the default "file type" in the open file dialog when using Firefox on certain web pages?

I work for a bankruptcy attorney. We use the Court's file upload to file our documents. When I am on the Court's site and I have to pick a file to upload, the "open file" dialog box pops up. In Firefox, the default "file type" is always "image" files. I need it to be "all files". How can I change this setting?

Two observations.
First — "Tools-> ...." is specific to Acrobat X and XI. It did not exist prior to Acrobat X.
Second — Acrobat 9 Pro / Standard (nor earlier release) does not support viewing a PDF page containing a scanned image and performing a right-click ... Save Image As.
The context menu provided by Acrobat 9 Pro with a right-click on a scanned image is:
The context menu,from a right-click with the TouchUp Object tool selected, for Acrobat 9 Pro is:

Can I change the default 'File Type' for PL/SQL Source File to '*.prc' ?

Want to change the 'default' extension for PL/SQL source to '*.prc'
When navigating 'File' / 'Save As', and selecting the 'File Type' list box,
The default 'File Type' for PL/SQL Source File is '*.pls'.
Can I change the default 'File Type' for PL/SQL Source File to '*.prc' ?
I have followed , 'Tools', 'Preferences' , 'File Types' and added '.prc' as 'Sql Script' file type, because (PL/SQL Source) is not present in the list.

You can certainly overwrite the 'Save As' extension as you are saving the file. I have added an ER for more control over this functionality.

Screen shots - how do I change the default file type

Screen shots using command, shift, 4: I used to get pdf files from the screen shot command, now I get PNG files. How do I change the default file type from PNG to PDF? PNGs are a pain.

Also, there are utilities like OnyX that will change the screenshot settings.
But this AppleScript is my favorite.

This application is a GUI method for changing the screenshot (screen capture) settings in Mac OS X v10.4 (Tiger).
Note that you can also drag-n-drop a folder onto this application to change the default location.

Making php the default file type

I've got a client set up to use Contribute to edit a PHP
site. When he creates a new page, the default file extension is
.htm and it needs to be .php. I looked for some way to change the
default file type in the Preferences but I can't find it. Is there
a way to do this?

Try going into Administer Website settings and select New
Pages> then select default file extension and add .php.

I want to change the default file type in the Open File dialog - e.g. from Word to All Files

I want to change the default file type in the Open File dialog - most recently specifically in Adobe Acrobat, from Adobe Files to All Files, so I don't have to do it again and again manually. Is this possible? Is it an OS setting or an app-specific setting?

The Apps set the default to the file type it can open, sort of. However, there normally isn't a type specified. All document types that the app can handle will be offered.
Adobe, and Microsoft, tend to roll their own dialogs, so they may not be standard. I don't have Acrobat, so I can't verify that. If Adobe is puting a file type selector in their open file dialogs, it would be up to them to store the preferences.
EDIT: I checked Reader, and i see what you mean. Not terribly useful.

Office 2013 Suppress Default File Type Popup

Hello,
during evaluation for Office 2013 we get this popup at the first start. We have configured the default file types for word, excel and powerpoint to .doc-File Format via GPO. Can we disable this Popup via GPO or the OCT-Wizard?
I have found some Posts to disable the Popup via registry, but we wouldn´t like to set entrys for this popup in the registry, if its possiable to disable the popup via GPO or OCT.

Looks like this is a known issue that we have no way to suppress this dialog, even forced the default file type for Office applications, the box still appears.
Please check these two thread:

How do I change the default file saving type

I have seen this question all over the web, but none of the answers I have found apply to my version of Photoshop (CS5).
I want to change the default file type when I save files. I don't want PSD or PDF, I want PNG.
I want to hit CTRL + SHIFT + S like normal, but I don't want to select PNG from the drop-down menu when I go to name my items.
I don't want to create an action for each file I work with - I want this to be a default setting change across all of photoshop on every file.
Any help? Adobe has been of zero assistance.

I have already tried the "Actions" method - which is glitchy in and of itself!
What I am doing is very simple - I am making photo slide shows. I create a new file that is 1920 x 1280 (the size of my display) and then I open 100+ images. I copy and paste each image into the 1920x1280 file so that all images display the same on my screen when I run the slides. I re-size and adjust the position of each image so it appears how I want.
So I copy and paste my first image into the 1920x1280 canvas and then hit F2 (the button I applied the save as PNG action to). It saves the file. Then I copy and paste another image into the file and hit F2. Rather than creating a new file (or even a copy) Photoshop writes over the last file I made. YAY! More wasted time!
It blows my mind that a function as simple as "Change default file type" is missing from such an expensive, accredited program. How can their software engineers overlook something that hundreds of other people (like me) have posted a need for online? Something so simple? Andy why is it my job now to learn how to do scripting for Photoshop to add in a feature that should be standard? Is that why I pay $50 a month for this software or why I bought CS5 outright for more than $1000?
So that's what I am trying to do - make a slide show where each image is exactly the same size. It seems the only option Adobe gives me is "WASTE MORE OF YOUR TIME"

Will EC support setting default file type and Open With from file menu?

The default file types I can live without, but at least allow for Open With on right click from Windows Explorer.
I currently have EC set in the Open With programs list, but EC does not comply for any files I opt to open it with (.css, .php, .html etc).
EC open but not the file I choose.
Also, even though the above use case is not ideal when if I do attempt an Open With when EC is already open, a new application session starts instead of attempting to open in the currently active app frame. It would be ideal to allow for single app frame, multiple files when Open With is employed.
Darrell

Hey Darrell,
Thanks for the feedback. How Edge Code treats files is definitely something we know isn't ideal and it's something we're looking at fixing soon. There's currently a story on the Brackets backlog that adresses the Open With issue - https://trello.com/c/GhF1Bgf9
And it based on howit ranks in that priority it looks like we could potentially take that into Edge Code over the next couple of months.
This is definitely a feature that we think is important before we consider ourselves 1.0 so it's high priority.

Default file type for photosmart 7525

I am trying to find the default file type that is saved to a USB drive when scanning on the HP Photosmart 7525. This is not my printer, I am just trying to help my sister who lives in another city and is not computer literate. She scanned some pictures (or so she said, after I sent her the instructions from the manual after I downloaded it) to a memory card. She is not sure what she is looking at from what she is telling me, it appears as the pictures were all saved to one PDF document. Does any one know if PDF is the default file type that scans are saved to on a memory card? I cannot find the default file type mentioned in the manual.
Thanks
David

Hi,
You can check from its software on your computer. For documents it's pdf and for photos it's jpg. But you have to select first.

Change Cloaking Default File Types

Hello,
I've looked everywhere, and I can't figure this one out. I
want to change the default file types for cloaking. Even better
would be to be able to add default directory names (It's
Dreamweaver--so I can dream, can't I?). Is there a way to edit the
list of default file types for cloaking? I can't figure out how to
do it.
Thanks!
srmn8tr

Unless there's been a change in Lion, use the 'get info' selection by right-clicking on the file, and choose the alternative application from there.
Below the drop-down for the app selection, there's a button to change all files of that type to open with the chosen app.

What is the default file format for saving in MS Office 2013? Is it still the transitional OOXML or the ISO/IEC 29500 strict format?

As I have read, MS Office 2013 is able to read and write the ISO/IEC 29500 strict (standardized Office Open XML) file format. MS Office 2010 was only able to read the strict format and MS Office 2007 could neither read nor write the strict format. The
.docx, .xlsx and .pptx saved by Office 2007 and 2010 were only complying to the OOXML transitional, as far as I understood.
My main question is what the default file format for saving in MS Office 2013 actually is? Is it still the transitional OOXML or the ISO/IEC 29500 strict format?
In case, MS Office still saves in the transitional standard by default, is it possible to set the strict standard in the settings? Is this recommended (I assume that OOXML strict is the future) to do this?
Thanks.

Yes, the Transitional is still the default file format for saving in Office 2013, and we can modify this setting in Word Options, Save:
As Alex Brown covers in his
blog post, "Transitional is intended to preserve the fidelity of existing binary documents being migrated to ISO/IEC 29500, and includes many legacy features for compatibility with existing documents. Strict is a subset of Transitional that does not
include legacy features – this makes it theoretically easier for a new implementer to support (since it has a smaller technical footprint, so to speak), but also makes it less able to preserve the fidelity of existing documents."

Firefox opens multiple tabs while clicking on "Manage account" under File- Account in Office 2013 opens the right Tab and another random URL-Tab

I have office 365 installed. When I click on Manage Account under File->Accounts in office 2013, it opens 2 Tabs in Firefox.
Tab1: https://office.microsoft.com/MyAccount.aspx?ver=15&app=winword.exe&MachineKey=02011-005-827906&fromAR=1
Tab2: http://www.4a1.com/ ( which is random)
The version of firefox is 24 and set as the default browser.
Operating System: Windows 7SP1
Already contacted Internet Service provider-Optimum, also the antivirus for security concerns but could not find anything from their end respectively.
The issue occurs on Windows 8 laptop also.

Thank you for your reply.
(FYI: The above question was posted by a ''Microsoft Research Engineer'' and me since neither of us can figure out why this is happening. So the brain-bank on this is pretty big!)
I scanned with all of the above scanners. (Thank you for the links!)
I also scanned my system with Adaware, Super Antispyware, Norton Internet Security 2013, and Norton Power Eraser . . . and Kapersky v14 on the Windows 8 system)
NONE of the scanners reported anything other than the usual trackers.
Firefox was un-installed, re-installed, reverted back 4 versions ''and'' v3. Chrome shows the same result.
The Windows 8 system was wiped and restored. Office 365 was immediately re-installed and showed the SAME behavior except that the "random" 3-character URL was different . . .
. . . This extra Tab ''only'' shows up when I open any Office 2013 product to a New document or worksheet go to File>Account>Manage Account.

How do I reset the default file association for .bat files on Windows 8.1?

Windows 8.1 allows the user to change the file association for .bat files. I made the mistake of using this facility to change the default file association for .bat files to Notepad++. Now when I attempt to run a .bat file, the script for the .bat
comes up in Notepad++, instead of its being run as an executable file! All my .bat files are now useless. I tried finding a way to change this back to the original executable setting, including deleting Notepad++ from my system, but nothing
has worked.
There are discussions that I found on the Internet about this problem, and the solutions to which I was led have not worked either. Most of the solutions apply to Windows 7 or Vista, but not to Windows 8. There are a few solutions that purport to apply to Windows
8 and 8.1, but they do not work for me.
(Disconcertingly, some of the solutions presented for the problem that apply to Vista or Windows 7 and are dated as early as 2009, so this problem has apparently been around for some time, but Microsoft still keeps .bat files on the Control Panel facility that
enables the change to be made. I cannot see why, but there it remains.)
Can someone please help me change this file association back to the original setting for Windows 8.1? Remember, most if now all the links that address this issue are focused on Windows 7. I need an answer that has been tried and proven to apply to Windows 8.1.
Nothing I have tried works.

Hi,
For the issue, we can restore Default File Extension Type Associations through adding the registry entries.
1. Download the .reg file from the following link.
http://www.eightforums.com/attachments/tutorials/8025d1345781188-default-file-associations-restore-windows-8-bat.reg
Note: Microsoft provides third-party contact information to help you find technical support. This contact information may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this third-party contact information.
2. Save the .reg file to your desktop.
3. Double click on the downloaded .reg file to Merge it.
4. If prompted, click on Run, Yes (UAC), Yes, and OK to approve the merge.
5. Sign out and in, or restart the computer to apply.
6. If you are logged in as a standard user and this still does not help, then have the administrator also merge the needed .reg file for the listed file extension or protocol below while logged into their administrator account.
Hope this helps.
