Why write-protected directories for own scripts?

PS CS5 (Trial), Win7/64, logged in without administrator rights, UAC activated
Hello,
I want to use "ScriptListener.8li". Therefore I have to copy it into the write-protected directory: "i:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\Plug-ins\Automate"
The same for own scripts. But copying my scripts into "i:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\Presets\Scripts" is only possible with administrator rights.
Question 1: Am I right?
But I don't want to use such write-protected directories. Instead e.g. "i:\Users\sgroteloh\AppData\Roaming"
Question 2: Is this possible? And if not, why?
Thanks, Carlos -- hmm, very cumbersome without adminstrator rights

Another option is (free) Script Bay. It can run scripts which reside anywhere on your computer:

How do I "un-write protect" USB flash drives?

I recently purchased a new computer that has Windows 8. One of my many flash/thumb drives is now suddenly marked "write-protected" when I did nothing to make it so. I found a solution listed for Windows 7. I applied it to my
own computer, however it did not change the said drive from write-protected to un-write protected. I simply want to move files to another storage device and re-format the write-protected drive for new files. How do I un-write-protect my flash/thumb
drive in the Windows 8 operating system?

I ran in to the same problem but none of the instructions here helped. doing some more searching i found a different article that supplied the answer for my issue. wanted to share in case other were still having issues.
If the problem is persistent with the drive and you still can't copy files to it or format it after:-
1- You tried removing read-only permission from the drive properties
2- You tried formatting from Windows
3- You tried formatting from CMD using DISKPART
4- You tried editing the Registry solution (for WriteProtect word)
5- You tried the different free online tools like
HDD LL Format tool and HP Format Tool
Then your drive is corrupt and needs the internal chipset S/W to be flashed, i.e. repairing the USB software The
steps below will lead you to get a small program to run on your USB memory-stick which is specific to your MANUFACTURER (make) and PRODUCT (model). If you don't want to go through the headache of the manufacturer's technical support then
do it yourself as follows (which I source from here):-
1- Get Chip
Genius portable application from here which
you will use to find the VID and PID of the USB stick chip.
2- Search for the tool to repair your USB stick S/W from FlashBoot
website . Search using your VID and PID from the previous step.
3- Search on Google for the name of the application you find in the "UTILS" column in the page from step 2 and the first link on Google Results
(usually) will take you back to the FlashBoot website to download the utility to get your USB drive repaired.
It worked for me for my Kingston Data Traveler flash drive. It didn't work with all the common options for fixing the USB drive having "write protected",
but the above solution I found after hours and hours of searching online and asking my computer-geeks colleagues.
Hope this helps!

Adobe PDF (Print) presets: "Cannot create the file. The folder may be write protected."

In Windows 8, this feature of InDesign CS6 only works for the local Administrator account:
File -> Export -> Save as type: Adobe PDF (Print) -> Save -> Save Preset... -> OK
If you try it with any other account this error message is given: "Cannot create the file. The folder may be write protected."
For anyone else encountering this problem, a workaround is to run as administrator.

Which permissions exactly did you set, how did you set them and what did you set them to?
The path to the Drop Box would be /Users/someuser/Public/Drop Box but you obviously wouldn't want the ownership and permissions to be the same on all four directories.
Have you tried using Disk Utility (/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility) to repair permissions? That would probably be the best way to ensure they're correct.

KMC didn´t work with pcd write-protect mode

Hello,
I have activated the write-protect mode for the PCD in our Portal. Everything is working fine.
After restarting the portal-server, the kmc-component didn´t work anymore. After disabling the write-protect mode and restarting the server, kmc works again.
I read a sap-note (1148777), that this problem was fixed with SPS 15 KMC-Patch 1. Our portal is on SPS 15 with latest patch-releases.
Any idea ?
Thx for your reply!
Oliver

The concurrent mark sweep collector you get with -Xincgc isn't a compacting collector. It doesn't move objects. So while it can grow the heap if needed, it can't give those pages back to the operating system, as you want by turning -XX:MaxHeapFreeRatio= down that far.

DIAdem 9.1; Windows2000; right problem; "Configuration-Drive Write Protected" for USER

i run into problems working with DIAdem 9.1 on Windows 2000 SP4!
The Diadem installation went quite well.
My problem:
only "Administrator" and "Power User" have the privilige to "WRITE" to the DIAdem install directory.
Trying to start Diadem as non priviliged USER I get something like:
DIAdem Configuration-Drive "C:\PROGRAM FILES\ NATIONAL INSTRUMENT\DIADEM 9.10" WRITE PROTECTED!
I installed & started DIAdem for one
time with Administrator rights. I activated the Product and exported
the KEY to a License Server. Everything works fine for Power Users an
Administrators. Only "simple" USERs are not able to start Diadem due to
missing WRITE permissions. i can't grand this permissions to
normal USERs :-(
Playing around in Registry -> "RegWriteAccessAllow" ("0","1") (DWORD) (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/National Instruments/Diadem/9.10),
didn't solved the problem.
I switched back to "local License" Managment (local Key files) but the Probelm persists.
thanks in advance
P.S.

Hi DirkT,
Running DIAdem with User rights has different aspects we need to look at.
1) Registry Write Access
Launching DIAdem the first time with administrative rights registers some OLE components in the registry. After this step no more Admin rights are necessary for the registry. However running DIAdem as user might result in error messages as DIAdem tries to re-register the components again. You can avoid this by setting the RegWriteAccessAllow Key to 0 (see online help under "Administrator Notes")
2) File / Folder Write Access to the DIAdem Installation Folder
DIAdem needs write access to certain files e.g. the error logfile DEM_ERRS.001 or DESKTOP.DDD when saving configurations. You may change the folder where these file are being stored and searched for to a writeable folder by launching DIAdem with the "/d<NewFolder\MyDesktop.ddd>" start parameter or by setting the environment variable "DemDDD" to that folder. Then move the following files from the DIAdem installation folder to your new writeable folder:
*.ddd
userpar.par
dem_errs.*
3) File / Folder Write Access to other Folders
There are a number of other folders that DIAdem 9.x needs write access to and which cannot be changed. All of these folders are located by default under "%ProgramFiles%\National Instruments\Shared". Currently you need your Admin to give you write access to that folder and below
For future versions of DIAdem the team is working to make running under user rights easier.
Hope that helps,
Marcus

Why do i get the message about scratch discs are write protected

I recently bought Premiere Elements 13. It worked fine until yesterday. I suddenly began getting the message about "scratch discs are write protected..." and I have not been successful in learning how to correct this. I have checked online only to have so many varying "solutions" that it is confusion. I tried a couple with no luck. As it stands, I can't be sure where to find the files since they aren't going where I had them. It is very frustrating! This appears to be a common problem but what is the method to eliminate it? Thanks.

ccchaney
On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running? Have you updated 13 to 13.1 yet from an opened project's Help Menu/Updates?
How do you have the project's Scratch Disks set up currently - for each, location and amount of free hard drive space at the location?
Please see Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disks. https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-elements/using/scratch-disks.html
Please explain/clarify what you mean by
As it stands, I can't be sure where to find the files since they aren't going where I had them.
What files? And, where are you putting them?
What are you doing in the project when you get the message about the Scratch Disks?

Interactive Scripting Editor (ISE) how to write a class for an action?

Hi - I need to write a class for an action in the interactive scripting editor. The class will create a new case (case management) and return the number. I have created a class with a method that does this and has been fully tested but we cannot get it to work as part of an action within the ISE. Are there any guidelines for writing classes for the ISE. Or has anyone done this? Do I need a super class? I have searched every where but can find nothing on this. Many thanks.

Hi Nigel,
I am also looking for the answer to this. Please let me know when you find a solution.

Why no Apple Protection Plan for iPhone outside the US??

The Apple Care Protection Plan for iPhone has been available for a while in the U.S, but it's still unavailable in other countries where the iPhone is sold.
Even if in countries where the iPhone V1 has been available since November 2007, like UK, France, Germany.
Will the APP for iPhone be available outside of the U.S anytime soon???

Since AppleCare is an extended warranty, Apple needs to write it in such a way that foreign governments will accept it. Even here in the US, it was not valid in Florida until fairly recently.

Ave been using an ipad for si have been uongs, and app purchases, using my wifes apple id. now i have a new apple lap top, i am wondering why would i get my own id as opposed to keeping "ours"

i have been using an ipad for songs, apps, etc, i now am migrating to a mac book, my question is, i have been using my wifes apple id for all of our purchases, sharing, etc. now that i have a laptop, i am wondering, why should i get my own user id or why would i not just continue on using our common id?
she worries about us taking up too much space in the cloud, which i am not using yet but will learn

i dont know why you would make a separate account either if you have been getting on fine before, unless you need to talk to your wife with iMessage or something
if you do run out of cloud storage it's probably cheaper to just upgrade it than make your own apple id and have to buy everything again

I blog on TypePad using Word 2007 and documents freeze when I'm looking at them in Windows explorer; why do I get the error message that Mozilla is looking for a script?

I have now had two error messages - the first one looked for this script: Script: resource://gre/modules/XPCOMUtils.jsm:258. The second one (today) looked for Script: resource://gre/components/nsPrompter.js:68.
I have reset my word template, also reset word registry for data and options (as per Microsoft's help pages) for both those 'fixes' there was an initial improvement, but the problem happened again after I reposted on my blog today and then went to Windows explorer to view my files. It seems to 'seize' as I select a file, so that the preview does not appear (for up to 15-20mins).
I see on the internet using the second script as a search just now that one other has had a similar problem and one also since Mozilla 4 upgrade. My problems have also been pretty much since I upgraded.
It happens (apart from my fixes) every time I go to look at a word document via Windows explorer. Excel files are less affected.
One web suggestion is to clear the cache, but I am hesitant to lose all my passwords unless I have to.

I still have the problem although I uninstalled Mozilla (clearing the cache didn't work and neither did Word diagnostics), so have ended up thinking it could be Norton (the manual update worked x1) or Windows. Today I found an answer: disable the preview pane in Windows Explorer - there's a history of problems with this view.

What error are you getting when you try ? If you are getting a network timeout then try temporarily turning off your firewall and antivirus software until the download has completed. Or you could downloading the update via a browser : https://discussions.apple.com/message/16436025#16436025

I just wrote a review to see what happens. The name under your review will be the same name as it appears in this forum. Only way to change that is to create a new forum account with the name you would like to appear in the reviews.

You may need to have 7-Zip installed to extract the .rar file. It is a free download. http://www.7-zip.org/download.html
Extract "RecoverTool_V2.00.42_M1223 8CE.exe" from the downloaded file and run it.
This should fix the problem.
