Want to disable/"grey out" dial-up connection "settings" button in the "connections" tab of Internet Options

Hi, I'm looking to "grey out" a dial-up connection for some users in workplace, so that they are forced to use our VPN client in order to access the web. Does anyone know if this is possible?
I know you can disable all settings on that tab using local group policy, (e.g. Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer) but I only want to disable a specific dial-up connection (for usb 3G modems).
I've read of various IE settings being locked down in the registry here, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions, but havent seen the settings I want.
The actual connection is visible here, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Connections, I just cant figure out how to grey it out. Any ideas? Thanks!

How to disable (grey-out) the ticks of a JSlider?

Hi everyone,
In my GUI, I have a JSlider that I want to be disabled (greyed out)
because it should be only actived on my application next version.
(It is important though to have it to preserve GUI appearence).
Problem is that I was unable to greyout the ticks even though
already managed to grey out the slider and the number labels.
Right now, it is pretty uggly to have a partial disabled slider,
because due to ticks not being disabled.
Questions:
1) Does anyone have an idea of how to do it?
A small part of my code is shown below:
JSlider dynSl = new JSlider();
dynSl.setMajorTickSpacing(1);
dynSl.setValue(0); //Default
dynSl.setMaximum(7);
dynSl.setMinimum(0);
dynSl.setPaintLabels(true);
dynSl.setPaintTicks(true);
dynSl.setFont(new java.awt.Font("Dialog", 0, 9));
dynSl.setSnapToTicks(true);
dynSl.setEnabled(false);
// small code just to put the numbers of the slider smaller
Enumeration enum = dynSl.getLabelTable().elements();
while (enum.hasMoreElements()) {
JLabel elem = (JLabel)enum.nextElement();
elem.setFont(new Font("Dialog",0,8));
elem.setEnabled(false);
2) If not possible, how do I change the colour of a JSlider (including
the Ticks)?
My idea is to change Slider's colour to the same grey colour one used
to disable it, making at the end the slider look as if it was disabled.
Thanks in advance,
Jorge

Hi again,
Thanks for the help.
I was trying to avoid not having the ticks at all but it seems to be
the best choise because I could not solve the problem of greying out
them.
I did some more troubleshooting though and for my surprise, if I use
the same code alone, i.e, a simple frame with just the slider it works
fine. I even thought that it was related with having Windows LnF as
opposed to Metal (Java) LnF, but that was not the problem.
The only thing it comes to mind, is that there may be some problem by including the slider on a GridBagLayout !?!?!?
Anyway,
What has no simple solution, solved is! :-)

BADI/user exit for me22n - disable/grey out field quantity (MEPO1211-MENGE)

Dear all SAP gurus,
When changing PO (ME22N), I need to disable (grey out) the quantity field on item (MEPO1211-MENGE), when all scheduled quantity is already received (EKET-MENGE = EKET-WEMNG).
Have tried using LMEIGICJI and Handle_event method in CL_SCREEN_VIEW_MM. But still doesn't go to the screen that wants to be disabled.
Tried using BADI ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST, but couldn't find how to disable the quantity field.
(IF_EX_ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST~FIELDSELECTION_ITEM only works for custom field).
Please kindly advise
thanks in advance

Hi Ahmad,
No need of ABAP, follow this IMG Path.
Material Management -> Purchasing - Purchase Order -> Define Screen Layout at Document Level
After Executing it . Choose ME22 from list and then choose display icon.
than double click Quantity and Price here uncheck opt. Entry and check display.
save your work.
Hope this works.

Dear apple, I am really dissapointed with you. Around January 2013, my iPhone 4s 16GB White has hardware issues, which was the Wi-Fi grey out. The wifi grey out means that I can't access the wifi on/off button, and also it has no connection. I have put up

Dear apple, I am really dissapointed with you. Around January 2013, my iPhone 4s 16GB White has hardware issues, which was the Wi-Fi grey out. The wifi grey out means that I can't access the wifi on/off button, and also it has no connection. I have put up with it for months, until june 7 when I decided it has been long enough, and I got a replacement. I told the genius bar what happened, and I already did the so called "steps" that apple reccommended on the site, which was reset network settings, restore iPhone. The genius bar gave me a replacement phone, so I was expecting that the problem would be over, but it isn't. It seems that it's iOS 6.1.3 which is the case of most public complaints on apple iPhone products. Not even 3 weeks after I got the phone replaced, it is doing it again, so I suspect I'm just going to get a replacement again? Unfortunately I only have until 5th of july 2013 until my 1 year warranty is up. After that, any issue I have, I have to purchase apple care. People are expecting this problem to be fixed but I don't see it being solved any time soon. This is horrible and really low, because I have been a good customer, when I talk to the people at the genius bar, I show the utmost respect I can to them for the work they put into their job, but somewhere there is a problem where something has gone wrong. Because of that, people that only have a one year warranty (which i received because I purchased my apple iPhone at an Optus outlet, once that one year warranty is up, I have to pay for a problem that isn't even my fault? That isn't how it should work, you should be fixing this problem so people can be happy customers and leave happy. Obviously you don't all know how to do your jobs, because if you did, we wouldn't have this problem. I would like a replacement phone, ONCE AGAIN. If this problem occurs again, I will simply stop buying your products, and lose faith in your company, your's sincerely, Jack Maher.

This is a user to user help forum only. You are not addressing Apple here.
My iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and iPad 2 are running 6.1.3 with no such problem and the same with the overwhelming majority of iOS devices running 6.1.3.

Sometimes, when I click on a link, I see in the address bar the words: "Search bookmarks and history" (greyed out) just before I am taken to the link. Should I be worried? Is someone searching my personal data? Is this just a FireFox error msg?

Sometimes, when I click a link on a web page, I see in the address bar the words: "Search bookmarks and history" (greyed out) just before I am taken to the link I clicked. A moment later, when I'm at the link, its address appears in the address bar, and all is normal. It seems that this happens only from some particular sites. Is FireFox reporting that my bookmarks and history are being searched?
Should I be worried? Is someone searching my personal data? Is this just a FireFox error msg when it has trouble finding the website I requested?

That is OK. Firefox will only display the link in the location bar after the DNS look up has succeeded and a connection to the server has been established. Until that has been done you see the default setting for the location bar: Tools > Options > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest

Try to "Force Quit" Safari - either under the Apple menu or by holding down option-Command-esc.

I want to disable "restore previous session" and enable "History record" at the same time.

I want to disable "restore previous session" and enable "History record" at the same time.
Because I don't want others to access my account such as "Gmail", "Facebook". But I want firefox to record my browsing history.
What should I do?

I managed to remove the "Restore Previous Session" button from the home page by changing my default home page with this : www.google.com/firefox/ (the default home page from the previous versions of Firefox). It worked for me, I hope it works for you too.

First need would be a high speed Internet connection, such as Cable, DSL or Fibre service. Dial-up has nowhere near the capacity to provide Netflix service.

My ibook G4 display greys out after a few seconds, clicking on the screen returns it to normal.

My ibook G4 display greys out after a few seconds, clicking on the screen returns it to normal functioning. I have adjusted the delay times before the computer goes to sleep to no avail, so I'm thinking this issue stems from something else.

Have you tried resetting the PMU? The PMU (Power Management Unit) has control over the sleep function, so resetting it may help if the iBook is sleeping unexpectedly.

Using Yosemite My incoming mail server changes by itself and means I can't access my email. When I go to preferences the new incoming mail server is greyed out. I then have to remove the accounts and get new ones.

Using Mail with Yosemite 10.10.2.The incoming mail server keeps changing by itself and means I can't access my mail. I go to preferences and find that the new incoming server is greyed out . I then have to remove the accounts and then add them again with the correct server. The incoming server which is greyed out is imap.gmail.com

Just an update it is a hardware issue and very common for iPhone 4s. I have to get my phone rewired which basically means new wireless chip. The amount of money I spent on buying an iPhone I should not expect to have anyway hardware problems happening. Make sure you have a warranty as luckily I've saved myself from spending more money to get this problem fixed.

HELP - Guest Log In on File Sharing Suddenly Disabled (Grey Out)?

Hello all.
This is my office MacPro, we have a pool of Macs running graphics and also Avid software. We file share with local network through Apple File Sharing.
By default we would be able to turn on our own Mac's file sharing, and other user would log in to our Public folder > Drop Box ... etc
In Leopard, we are able to designate other folder for file share, which I have done. I disabled my default Public folder for file sharing. And created a folder outside my User folder for file sharing, so that others log into my mac as guest user can access it too.
Actually everything is just fine, other mac users just need to log in as Guest to access my share folder.
But this morning, all of a sudden, without any tweaks or anything, other mac users cannot log in as Guest, the Guest option is grey out.
I have tried disabling file share, enable, re-create a new folder to share or re-enable the default Public folder to share, but the Guest option is still grey out.
What could have happen?
Need to solve this as soon as I can, thanks and cheers

Thanks - the weekend was very pleasant indeed!
I agree that something seems to awry in the Leopard MBP. The question is "what". The symptoms now are:
1) iTunes music sharing from MBP is broken
2) Connecting to Panther Mac via AFP is broken (although one Mac can be connected via IP address)
3) Machine works well on a Windows network
Based on all of this, I would guess that there is a problem in the "Bonjour" networking of the MBP. You could try:
1. Using a different account to see if it is local to your user id.
2. Failing that, removing your com.apple.AppleFileServer.plist and com.apple.AppleShareClient.plist files from /Library/Preferences
Outside of that, I would have to do some more digging.
