Web Dev Panel Randomly Pops Up; Cannot Disable in Options

Default setting is disabled (unchecked) on Tools/Web Developer/Toggle Tools. Tools randomly pop-up. Cannot correlate to any user activity. Has popped up several times during this post.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Research panel randomly pops up - how to DISABLE this unwanted feature ?

EXCEL does this randomly - slows the computer to a crawl - I have to close EXCEL and restart computer to get 10 minutes of work done in EXCEL... HOW DOES ONE DISABLE forever, in all applications, ESPECIALLY EXCEL, this unwanted "RESEARCH"
feature ???
This is so annoying and I have found dozens of folks who have posted the same problem, but cure/fix has surfaced from MICROSOFT...
Microsoft, are you listening ? How do I stop RANDOM pop-ups in EXCEL ??

Hi
I'm sorry to hear that the "research" feature annoyed you so much. Let me help you with the issue.
Go to File>Option>Trust Center>Trust Center Settings>Privacy Options>Cancel the selection "Allow the research pane to check for and install new service".
I have tried it in my computer, it worked well.
Some of our customers solve the problem by more methods below, we can also refer to it:
1.Add/Remove Programs ---> Microsoft Office ---> Add or Remove Features ---> expand Office Tools ---> disable Research Explorer Bar
2.Press Alt-F11 to open the VB Editor. Press Ctrl-G to open the Immediate Window.Type this line and press Enter:
Application.CommandBars("Research").Enabled = False

Using web examples I modified all.js, firefox.js and firefox.cfg but still cannot disable default browser check popup in Firefox 3.511.

Working with Firefox v3.511. This version is required by business requirements. I researched how to disable the default browser as part of the install on the web but I cannot disable the default browser check pop-up.

It is best not to modify files in the Firefox program folder.
You can lock the pref browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser to false or create a file user.js in the default template folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\profile) to set the pref to false.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences<br />
pref("browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser", false);
In user.js you need to use <br />
user_pref("browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser", false);

I use tabbed browsing. Firefox randomly opens new windows with advertising. Pop-ups are disabled. How to fix?

I use Firefox with Windows 7. I use tabbed browsing, and the tabs show at the top of the page. At the bottom of the page, where the Firefox logo is displayed, Firefox will randomly open a second window with advertising. This is a Firefox issue because it says Firefox at the top of the new page. Pop-ups are disabled via Tools>Options>Content. Pop-ups also are disabled on the Verizon Security Suite.

Yoga 13 - On-screen Keyboard Randomly Popping Up When Using Physical Keyboard?

While in laptop mode, and typing on the built-in physical keyboard or a keyboard attached via USB, the on-screen keyboard will randomly pop up, taking away focus (particularly noticeable when using extended desktop on an external display) and eating up half of the screen real estate. As soon as I press the next key on the physical board, the on-screen keyboard minimizes itself. Sometimes it will pop up when I'm not even touching the laptop!
Anyone else experience this and/or know how to stop it? It's the only thing about this machine that drives me absolutely nuts. It seems to be random. I can't pin it down and haven't found any similar reports via Google search.
Thanks in advance.

Disabling "OnScreen Keyboard (Lenovo Transition)" stopped it. The solution is good enough for me, as I don't need the keyboard to pop up on its own anyway. It'll pop up when I tap in a text-entry box, and that's all that matters.
Attempts to calibrate the screen were unsucecssful. I can't say whether or not a screen calibration will stop the random pop-up issue because every time I calibrated the screen, it broke the right-side screen swipe that reveals the Charms Menu. Resetting the screen calibration was the only way I could find to restore the right-side swipe function. This is quite unfortunate because, regardless of the fact that it broke my Charms swipe, my touchpoints were FAR more accurate after the calibration than before.
So now I have another problem. I can't calibrate my screen for optimum accuracy without losing the convenience of the right-side swipe.
Any ideas?

The NLS operation failed because the registry key Control Panel\International\User Profile cannot be opened. Error code is 2. Error message: The system cannot find the file specified.

H,
Since upgrading Windows server 2008 R2 to Server 2012 Standard edition, we get this repetitious critical error in the event log:
Event 1001
Op Code NLS initialization
The NLS operation failed because the registry key Control Panel\International\User Profile cannot be opened. Error code is 2. Error message: The system cannot find the file specified.
We originally found that the regional date settings after changing them in regional settings (DD/MM/YYYY) and they did not inherit properly from the upgrade but they are ok now.
I've looked at HKCU\.Default\Control Panel\International and nothing looks obviously wrong. Country codes, time & date formats are correct.
How do we ascertain the cause of this error and the specific registry key that might be problematic?

Hi,
This could be caused by firewall rules or security softwares.

And in addition, the fix is worth a try.
Nothing happens when you double-click "Region" in Control Panel

Cannot disable Homes: Enable Virtual Share Points

Hello,
We just installed 10.5 server this morning, and many things seem to be a big improvement-- e.g., the new version of Samba (3.0.25) now allows AD transitive trust users to connect, whereas 10.4's Samba (3.0.10) did not. But the problem now is: we cannot disable the virtual share points for homedirs on Samba. In Server Admin, if you uncheck the checkbox and hit "Apply", the GUI rechecks it.
10.4 Server has this same configuration option, and it works as expected. I did a little investigation with the serveradmin command-line tool on our Leopard machine, and this tool exhibits the same problem. For example:
floydpepper:/ admin$ sudo serveradmin settings smb:adminCommands:homes = no
Password:
smb:adminCommands:homes = yes
For reference, we are set up as a Domain Member for Active Directory. We do not have any schema additions (for Mac stuff, anyway).
I suspect that maybe there's some configuration option further up that supercedes this, and that's why Server Admin rechecks the checkbox. My guess was that maybe Directory Services was overlaying an attribute on top of AD information. And I see that if I use dscl and look at the attributes for my user in AD, there is indeed an attribute for home folders that clearly does not exist in the AD itself: "NFSHomeDirectory" which is set to /Users/[myusername]
When I go back and us dscl to lookup the same thing in Tiger Server, Directory Services also appends the NFSHomeDirectory attribute, but without the same side-effect. So I'm probably mistaken that that is the cause.
Anyone have any pointers? This looks an awful lot like a bug to me.
Thanks,
-b
P.S. I also did have a look at where in smb.conf this is being set-- it is being put in an include'd smb.conf that is stored in /var/run. If I comment out the \[homes\] section, and restart Samba, that /var/run/smb.conf is overwritten with a new autogenerated version. I would just wipe that section out, lock the file, and restart Samba, but I really do want our administrators to be able to use the GUI tools. Otherwise, I would just be using Samba on Linux.

I was able to "fix" the issue with an ugly workaround by modifying /etc/smb.conf and adding certain values to the [[homes]] share that render it ineffective. I added the following to /etc/smb.conf:
; Site-specific parameters can be added below this comment.
; END required configuration.
; Hack to disable virtual homes
[[homes]]
path = /dev/null
valid users = root
; END hack
With these values added to [[homes]], it is only available to the root user, and even then it would go nowhere. I debugged the issue to the point where it appears that the synchronize-preferences tool (/usr/libexec/samba/synchronize-preferences) ignores user settings for disabling virtual homes. I sent so far as to modify the system default in /System/Library/CoreServices/SmbFileServer.bundle/Resources/ServerDefaults.plis t to see if it was a simple case of default settings overriding user settings, but that also had no effect on the configuration that synchronize-preferences created in /var/db/smb.conf
I hope this helps you all out.

FieldPoint WEB Remote Panel Tab Control

Using a TAB control on Fieldpoint (FP 2000) and Labview 7.1
I wanted to implement a password feature mainly for the Web browser
remote panel feature for my Filedpoint application, as suggested in "Developing Remote Front Panel LabVIEW Applications"
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/2d17d611efb58b22862567a9006ffe76/e789515b9976253786256b1f007e039b?OpenDocument#5
(see bottom of the page)
"Alternatively, you can program security into the VI itself. For
example, you can require a user to log in when the VI first runs, and
disable all other aspects of the VI until you verify the login. To do
so, place a login field on one page of a tab control, the other
controls on subsequent pages, and enable the other pages after the user
successfully logs in.
I find that I can "Hide tabs" using the "Page Selector Visible" feature
if the Remote panel is hosted by Labview in Development Mode but this
feature does function with the Web remote panel mode. In fact you can
use the Tab Control normally from the Web remote panel.
I find that I can disable a specific tab if the Remote panel is hosted by Labview in Development Mode but this feature is ignored by the Web remote panel mode.
Thus: -
Do you know of any limitations (a list would be usefull, if there are specific limitations)?
If its a limitation, is it of FieldPoint or the Web remote panel or the Runtime Engine installed in the Browser or ...?
Do you know of a better way of getting a password feature.
( I am aware of IP security available - the IP
addresses are DHCP supplied - " 'Doh' says Homer Simpson", the P.C's
will change as well)
I lookforward to any insights..., wisdom or experiences you may have had

Cannot disable "display in browser with acrobat" Mac Os X Lion

Hi I'm having trouble reading PDFs on safari(5.1.1): displayed message : "Missing Plug-In". I did a little bit of web browsing to find a solution and apparently you recommend to disable "Display PDF in browser using adobe". in the preference of acrobat.
Here comes my problem, I cannot disable this function. The button is greyed out is abled.
http://cl.ly/060r0e1W3H1N0A3N3X3D
any idea how to disable the
plug in in safari ?
Cheers

It appears that the full-screen display will only work on the display that has the menu bar.
You can switch the menu bar to your external display by going to Solid Apple -> System Preferences -> Displays, then Arrangement.
Grab the menu bar and drop it on the icon representing your external display.
When you full screen an app it should then full screen on the Cinema display.
I wish it would just full screen on the display the window is on, but that is evidently not the way it was designed to work.

Unwanted Internet Explorer (11) Addons - Cannot disable or remove

Hi folks - I have two IE add-ons that were installed without my knowledge (Apps-Hat and HDTotal1 - in case it matters) and I cannot disable or remove them (the options to do these are greyed out). Additionally, the folder and the dll files supposedly
associated with these addons no longer exist - I assume this happened when I uninstalled the software or did a system restore to get rid of it.
I don't know if they are doing anything malicious - Malware-bytes and Avira scans do not identify any issues - but I want to disable and remove them.
Is there any way to do this?
Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

Hi,
These two add-ons might got installed when you install free applications from the internet, such as free softwares,
videos or something else, so be careful when you download these free application.
Run this tool, check if it cna make any differnece
Malicious Software Removal Tool
http://www.microsoft.com/security/pc-security/malware-removal.aspx
And make sure no Apps-Hat or HDTotal1 related 3 rd party program is installed in your system, check in Control Panel\Programs and Features
Another chance to disable the add-on is via registry,
locate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Settings, find the class ID of that add-on (right click the add-on, then "More information", find the class ID), then set “Flags”=dword:00000001 to disable it.

You have lost me as firefox user. I do not want private browsing and cannot disable it so I am out of here and back to IE!

I am opposed to having private browsing as a feature that I cannot disable. In IE I can and have disabled that feature so it is not an option, but with both FireFox and Chrome I am not able to disable. So you have lost me as a client and anyone I talk with will receive my views on this.

Random pop-ups

Ever since the latest updates I get these random pop-ups. For a while it was Candy Crush app now is looks like Words With Friends. It's a solicitation to download the app. I cannot figure how to turn it off. HELP ME because it's annoying as HELL!!!

Make sure you don't have DT Ignite installed, it is a backdoor provided by Verizon on select devices to allow them to install games and apps directly to your device without approval required.

Audigy 2 Value randomly pops/clicks when the computer is just idling.

EAudigy 2 Value randomly pops/clicks when the computer is just idling.; I can't figure out why the I hear random popping and clicking when I'm doing absolutely nothing to the computer. Typing this right now doesn't seem to cause any popping. It usually happens when I'm not really doing anything to my computer. This was happening with Creative's drivers and software so I switched to kX drivers, but that didn't help. When I first got my computer (Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe) and got the Audigy 2, I had no problem with Creative's software/drivers at the time, no popping had occur until I installed an SATA HD. PCI latency tool helped at the time. Then I had to go through a reformat and after the reinstallation of Windows XP, the popping started occuring randomly. After my motherboard supposely didn't want to POST anymore, I bought another one which was the Epox. And same problem occured even though I reformat and reinstalled windows.
Right now, the only thing I could think of that the SATA HD and Sound Blaster cards don't mix well together. But none of these are sharing resources. I did not want to try decrease any hardware acceleration at the moment, will there be any difference in sound or performance if I lower the acceleration?
Here are my current specs,
Windows XP Pro SP3
Amd AthlonXP 2600+ @ 2.2ghz
GB DDR Ram
ATI x800 xt AIW
Epox 8RDA3+ Pro
Running Sata HD and IDE, SATA is the master dri've.
Some other info,
The sound card is not shared by any IRQ
PCI Latency Tool didn't help when I tried to set the latency from 32 to 64
Bios is updated
Nforce2 drivers are updated
Klite codec pack 4.5.3 installed
kX drivers used instead of Creatives?
Onboard sound is disabled
Dxdiag did not find any problems
Keyboard is connected to PS/2 to USB adapter
Mouse is connected to USB
