Window Controls Missing?

Okay, back in my previous OSX, if I opened a folder I got a window with various control icons across the top.  Among them, on the far right, was an oblong button that toggled this control bar visible or invisible.  In Lion, this toggle button has disappeared. So, okay, I can't hide the search box or View options, that's cool....
EXCEPT that when I open certain folders, usually it seems, from my 3rd-Party Dragthing dock application, I get windows with this status / control area hidden!  I don't see any way to get the window to display these View controls and search box.  I think I get this problem in other situations too.
What am I missing here?  Why in the world allow these neutered windows that can do nothing but open and close?

Oh for crying out loud. 
Was the little button on the window so unspeakably *hideous* that they had to remove it and turn this basic feature in to a menu item?  Really?  Okay, so there's a triple-keystroke combination for it - that's great.
This is exactly the kind of gratuitous change that serves no use but to cause a lot of users a series of fairly low-level nuisances that make them resentful for having had to upgrade.  Classic Microsoft engineering.  Or eBay "problem solving" -- as in, this isn't a problem, but if we change it we can call it an upgrade.  Two versions later they'll reintroduce the toggle button and boast about the new "more intuitive" interface.
But thanks for the pointer.

  • Boot Camp Not Working From Windows Control Panel

    Hi,
    When I click on the 'Boot Camp' icon in the Windows Control Panel I get the usual warning from UAC. When I select 'Allow' I get an error message along the lines that "I don't have permission to access the startup disk" & the app will not run.
    I have tried running it as administrator but the result is the same.
    Does anyone know how to rectify this so that I can get this utility working correctly again?
    Thanks

    On the disk Management I tried to set the disk with the OSX partition as active and restarted, and ended up having Missing Operating System error.
    Fortunately I managed to solve that problem but still I am unable to switch back to Mac.

  • Activate window controls for 'BAL_CNTL_CREATE'

    I have coded a solution to do my own logging/display logs from a custom report within transaction MPD.
    the logging part works and my 'on button click' calls the logs and displays the messages using BAL_CNTL_CREATE.
    however the pop up window i get, i do not get the to use the "window" control to close the popup...
    i am sure i have missed off a parameter, but not having done this before, i am unsure which parameter controls the pop up window. 
    if i exit out of the transaction the window closes, however i want to be able to close the window and click another button to display my log....

    Why not just run the ThinkVantage System Update and let it install as usual. You can also "un-check" those drivers that you don't want to install.

  • How do i end a sub vi when the close window control is clicked?

    Hi,
    I have a sub vi that sits in a while loop until a 'Done' button is pressed but sometimes the user clicks on the close window control in the top left of the window (MacOS) instead.
    After this has happened I would like control to return to the calling vi but it's as though the sub vi is still waiting for someone to click on the done button and the any user actions in the calling vi are ignored.
    How do I wire the close window into my program so as clicking on either it or the Done button will end the sub vi and pass control back to the calling vi?
    Thanks,
    Dave.

    The "event structure" can capture events for "this VI" that include "panel close". If you are using an event structure to look for the push of the Done button, just add another event that will catch the panel close as well (you can even configure the stucture to not pass on the close event). If you are not using the event structure to watch for the done button, perhaps you should. If you cannot use it in the same loop, you can put it in a parallel loop and use any of several signaling mechanisms to communicate between the loops.

  • Acrobat XI full screen mode: how to hide the window control frame

    i mainly use Acrobat to prepare full screen presentations and training, and it is annoying not being able to hide the window control
    i previous versions the window control frame was always hidden / please bring this option back

    Thanks, but my ID CS6 is already set to open as a "normal window".  What I'm trying to resolve is the sizing and positioning of that "normal window".
    I found one older post (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4609791) from someone who has the same problem, and it looks as if their question was never resolved, either.  I haven't tried the script mentioned in the other message that has a link from that one.  Btw, I've never seen a Window > Application Frame option within InDesign CSx for Microsoft Windows.

  • Why do I have two versions of Firefox in my Windows Control Panel? (again)

    hello,
    Updating from Firefox 18.0.1 to 18.0.2 of Firefox has not removed the Mozilla Firefox 18.0.1 entry from the Windows Control Panel list of installed programs.
    How could I fix that?
    thanks.

    It is possible that you only see orphaned Firefox entries in add and remove programs.<br />
    This can happen if the Firefox updater didn't remove the entry of the previous version, but merely added an entry for the new version.<br />
    If you are comfortable with the registry editor then you can remove Firefox entries that no longer apply in this registry key.
    *HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Mozilla Firefox (????)
    If you have a 64 bit Windows version then inspect this key:
    *HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Mozilla Firefox

  • Windows control panel doesn't recognize Adobe CC Products.

    한글(Korean) :
    1년 조금 넘게 어도비 CC 정품을 이용해오고 있습니다.
    아시다시피 어도비 CC는 어도비 제품들을 원하는대로 다운로드할 수 있잖아요,
    저도 많은 제품들을 다운로드해서 쓰고 있었는데 안쓰는 제품들이 몇개 생겨서 제거하려고 합니다.
    그런데 제어판에서는 어도비 CC 제품들(포토샵, 애프터이펙트, 오디션 등등)이 뜨질 않네요.
    제어판에서 이 제품들을 인식을 못하는거 같은데, 어도비에 전화해보니 C드라이브 들어가서
    폴더를 지우라고 하는데, 그냥 제어판이 인식하게 할 수는 없을까요?
    English :
    I have used Adobe CC products for almost a year.
    As you know, I can download any adobe products what I want through it.
    I was using a lot of Adobe products, but now, there are some products
    that I won't use anymore. So I'm going to delete them.
    But windows' control panel doesn't recognize Adobe CC products(like Photoshop, After Effects, Etc..).
    So I called to Adobe Korea customer center. They told me that I can go into C drive and delete folders of Adobe products.
    This is not the answer what I exactly want. I want to make the control panel can recognize Adobe CC products.
    What should I do?

    Creative Cloud help says to uninstall CC apps on a Windows PC to do the following:
    Open the Window Control Panel > Programs and Features
    Choose an app and click Uninstall/Change
    Follow on-screen instructions
    This information is NOT correct.  Programs and Features does not contain all versions of Adobe software installed via Creative Cloud Desktop.  It only shows the most current installation.  Photoshop is a great example of why this is so.  I currently have five versions of Photoshop installed through my Creative Cloud subscription.  Windows has difficulty knowing which version to start, much less which to uninstall because the executable file for each version uses the same name--Photoshop.exe.  In terms of designating which file types should be opened by which programs, the problem is equally evident.  For example, setting current version Photoshop CC 2014 (version 15.1) as the program to open GIF files is not possible because Windows shows it's already done that with the designated program being Photoshop.exe.  Of course, all other versions of Photoshop executable files use the name Photoshop.exe.  So, it's not surprising that Windows is confused.  But that does not help the rest of us.
    The original questioner asked how they could get Windows Programs and Features to list CC applications.  I don't think that's possible given the way Adobe has configured and named the executable files that Windows relies on.  So, I'd add a question for Adobe:  How do I uninstall versions of Photoshop and other CC applications that I no longer use.  Programs and Features cannot help me--the programs simply are not listed.  So, how does Adobe envision users uninstalling CC apps that don't appear in Programs and Features?   

  • Can't log in using windows control panel

    Hello,
    I have a Mac with a virtual machine where I run Windows Vista. In Lion, iCloud is working fine but in Windows (where I use Outlook) the iCloud login screen is frozen (seems like trying to validate the username) without any progress.
    I know it's not an issue of wrong iCloud username because it works ok in my iPhone and in Lion.
    I have tried uninstalling an reinstalling the iCloud Windows control panel and iTunes and still doesn't work.
    Do you have any suggestions?
    Thank you.

    I found out the solution.
    I previously had uninstalled MobileMe Control panel, what solved it was installing again MobileMe Control panel, a new one available for download, which includes the funcionallity to migrate to iCloud.
    Once done that it works ok.

  • Allow network users to login at login window option missing

    I hope someone can shed some light on this.
    I have bound a 10.6.2 machine to a Windows 2003 domain successfully. However, the checkbox to "allow network users to login at login window" is missing completely. There's a blank space. I've looked at a few other machines that haven't been joined to the domain and the option is missing from there as well.
    Am I missing something simple? Did I miss something during the OS install? This is a fresh 10.6.2 install.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is keeping us from allowing domain users to log on. Thanks in advance.

    I installed ADmitMac and the option shows up. I removed it and the option goes away. There's obviously a flag being set somewhere. Any thoughts?
