Windows 7 shake-window feature in openbox?

Is there a way to implement the windows 7 shake-window (minimize all except shaken window) feature in openbox?

awayand wrote:minimize all except shaken window
seems pretty clear to me? At any rate, the things you can make Openbox do are all laid out in the big list of 'Actions' (http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Actions#ToggleShowDesktop) - ToggleShowDesktop coming closest to what you're describing (basically, it's minimize all and shift focus to desktop). No obvious way to make exceptions, though.
As for _how_ you do it, there's the Bindings list. I dont use much mouse in OB, so you'll have to find it yourself.

I have a Mac leopard. Did a recent recommended update. When it finished,I restarted then a window came up to enter Master Password. I don't know what it is and when I try to enter one, the window shakes so I am unable to use computer at all.

Please confirm exactly what Mac this is, and what 'recent update' you installed.

Windows 8 add features not found

To install Windows media center I need a product key and to add the feature. Finally I've got the key but the search for "add feature" only brings up "Turn windows features on or off". Is there another step that I'm missing?

I am too experiencing this issue. I have typed 'add features' in Settings but I don't see any option to add a feature.
However, I have definitely seen this option before because I remember being asked by some window to enter my Product key to add features.
EH.
P.S.: Regarding activation. If you are using Enterprise edition downloaded by your Software Assurance program, the ISO image you are downloading is pre-pidded and already has a MAK key embedded into ISO media. That is, once installed, Windows 8 Enterprise
Edition automatically starts seeking for available MAK activation server in your network area. However, this requires your IT specialists to roll out Windows 8/Windows Server 2012 MAK activation server because Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 are using new
activation that is not supported by MAK activation server software used to activate volume license kits in Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 R2. Because it's no surprise that your IT did not do that yet, Windows cannot find any activation server. That requires
you to enter key that you get from your MSDN subscriber page.
That's how I understand the issue with the need to use slmgr -ipk <key> and then run slmgr -ato or slui 3 to activate Windows using entered product key.
P.P.S.: As for adding features, that's the whole mystery. I've removed all installed KB patches that I've installed so far, but I can't get the add features option back... ;)
Yes, that's exactly where I've seen the feature before: "If it is activated already, you will get the link "View details in Windows Activation" . Select the same, you will get the button "Add features to your edition". Right! But now that this link
has disappeared!
Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

Microsoft opens up about more Windows 10 preview features in the works

Microsoft opens up about more Windows 10 preview features in the works
Carey Frisch

From that article:
Belfiore did officially acknowledge some of the coming Windows 10 under-the-cover features that were disclosed early in a Microsoft blog post which was later pulled —such as the fact
a Microsoft Account won't be required for login (users will be able to use Azure Active Directory for single sign-on instead).
Is there seriously any possibility that a true local account won't be possible?
That's "last straw" material. Microsoft needs to be careful.

Windows 7 backup features

Windows XP allowed multiple backups to be configured. For example, the user could setup a backup to run at T time to backup files changed that day in subdirectories X and Y, and another backup to run at T2 time to backup everything in subdirectories
X, Y and Z. Additionally, Windows XP allowed the user to specify the name of the backup file.
Has Windows 7 eliminated these features in the backup program ?

Have you checked the Help in Windows 7 Backup and Restore?
Have you tried searching the internet for Windows 7 Backup features?

Looking for "Window Manager\Window Manager Group" SID

Hi. I am trying to find the SID for "Windows Manager\Window Manager Group". If anyone has that, I'd appreciate it. I am trying to build my "base build" Security Template for Server 2012, and I need to assign the default User Rights to that group, as it is
out-of-the-box. Problem is that the GUI does not accept that group name as valid, but I can see that the group is assigned user rights in the Local Security Policy. I typically just use a file ACL to do this (add the ACE and then run
icacls to get the SID), but that group name is not valid within that tool either. My guess if that this new "Windows Manager\Window Manager Group" group is a well-known SID. Thanks.

Ironically the SID is not listed on Microsoft's web page for well know
SIDs. I also noticed that when I dump the local users using powershell, every group and user is listed that I would expect to see, but this one is not in that list. It seems like it should be pretty easy for Microsoft to say what this does and when it can
be safely removed...
I figure one of two possibilities. Either this only matters when a specific feature is installed / active, or it is some remnant from development for a feature or implementation that didn't make it into the release to manufacturing. What ever the case it
would be nice if we could get clarification.

Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop App Window Blank, Windows 8.1 (Resolved)

Platform: PC
OS: Windows 8 (8.1)
I needed to download Flash, so I searched for my Desktop Application Manager. Opened the Creative Cloud App, and saw this:
I waited for it to "load" but nothing ever loaded. I clicked the gear to see if I could log out and log back in, but just saw three practically useless options:
[Help, Pin to Notification Area..., Quit]
I waited 2 hours for customer service, and finally got this answer:
Launch the run window. (press: window button, type: "run" OR window button + X, select "Run")
Type %appdata%
You'll see AppData > Roaming, click AppData in the address bar.
Open Local > Adobe > OOBE
Cut opm.db and paste it to the desktop.
>>If you receive an error, open the task manager and close ALL Adobe processes, then retry.
Open Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop Application
Log in. (ta-da!)
Delete the file that you cut and pasted to the desktop.
I hope this helps someone avoid the long wait time for customer service to fix this error that seems to have sprouted after some update corrupted the opm.db file.

1. quit the app (from the task bar) and relaunch. if that fails:
2. Remove the OPM.db file and relogin into the Creative Cloud desktop application using the Adobe ID tied to your subscription.
Mac OS: You can locate the OPM.db file in the \User\<user name>\Library\Application Support\Adobe\OOBE folder. To access the hidden user Library folder, see Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion.
Windows: You can locate the OPM.db file in the \Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE folder. To view the hidden AppData folder, see Show hidden files, folders, filename extensions | Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7.

SCCM App-V 5 packages to terminal server/Windows 7/Windows 10 design

Hi,
I would appreciate your input on a design question on App-V 5 on SCCM 2012 R2.
Where we are:
We have Terminal Servers running with App-V 4.6 Clients for some years. The users on these Terminal Servers could only receive the App-v 4.6 packages (since the terminal server only had the App-V client)
Some time ago we started the rollout of App-V 5.0 packages to Terminal servers via SCCM 2012 R2.
In parallel we rolled out some App-V 5.0 clients to Windows 7 machines.
What’s happening:
Users get App-V package meant for TS (licensed applications which should not end on clients) and they should not
What we want:
deploy App-V packages (via SCCM) to W7 computers only, later we will deploy to users but for now our administration system doesn’t cover that
select which App-V packages to deploy to Windows 10 (when it’s there)
select which App-V packages to deploy to terminal servers (WKX)
uninstall of users/computers not in collections anymore
ð
TTo achieve this we would create different deployment types of an App-v package with each a prereq “W7, Windows 10, Windows terminal services”. Then also we would create an uninstall mechanism (like this http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrdogs/archive/2014/11/03/managing-app-v-deployments-in-configmgr-2012.aspx)
Guess that would work, but wonder if you would see any flaws/issues
in/with this setup?
Thanks for your input.
J.
Jan Hoedt
Update: then also I wonder the supersedence within the application (with different deployment types), f.e. 7-Zip on terminal servers should be replaced but not for Windows 7. Would that work?

Uninstall is a bit of a concern too indeed.
What I would do is
f.e. 7-Zip Application-INSTALL, Deployment Types:
*W7-Install prereq W7
*WKX-Install prereq WK8R2, WK12R2
=> Deploy to Group "App-V-7-Zip", which has computers as well as user groups
7-Zip Application-UNINSTALL, Deployment Types:
*W7-Uninstall prereq W7
*WKX-Uninstall prereq WK8R2, WK12R2
=> Deploy to Group "App-V-UNINSTALL" which has all App-V groups (such as "App-V-7-Zip")
That's making sence, doesn't it?
Note: "It's probably a smart idea to not trigger an uninstall on a terminal server in every occasion." Why is that? Applications should be removed when f.e. groups are not part of the App-V-7-Zip.

IOS 6.1.3 / Windows 7 - 64 bit. I am connecting my IPhone 4 to my Windows desktop, in ITunes I click on IPhone and then the "Check for Update" tab. It takes me to a Windows explorer window. How do I get it to find updates?

Hello ibebry
Try using the Software Update on your iPhone by going to Settings > General > Software Update. One thing to keep in mind if you are trying it on the computer is to make sure that you are not pressing any keys down when checking for updates as that may bring up a pop up window to find the update file.

Disabling SMB2 and SMB3 Client from Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8.

There are many programs that are using a shared file on the server from clients from XP to Windows 10. From time to time it seems like there is a network outage and the handle to the file is broken and the file
cannot be read or updated. It seems more prevalent on a Windows 2012 server but may have happened from time to time on 2008 & 2008 R2. However there are not any network problems so it just leaves the server & Client
I have searched for possible resolutions including:-
Turning off the Cache for the share
Disabling the network adapter power setting to allow windows to put the device to sleep.
Disabling Antivirus/configuring it to ignore folders for on access scanning
Disabling SMB Signing
Configuring the clients DWORD registry value SilentForcedAutoReconnect=1 in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\CurrentVersion\NetCache
Setting the "NET CONFIG SERVER /AUTODISCONNECT:-1" to not drop client
connections
The last bit of trouble shooting that I can think of is to disable SMB2 and SMB3 as that does a lot of caching and batching of packets which could also be the cause of the problem.
I have looked at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2696547/en-us
I have disabled SMB2&3 on the server as that is very straight forward.
When I get to the section about disabling SMB2 on the client the command fails.
sc config
lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/nsi
  After running the above command, it returns an error:
      [SC] ChangeServiceConfig FAILED 1059:
      Circular Service Dependency was specified.
So it's not worth running the following command:
sc config mrxsmb20 start= disabled
I have tried the command on Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 10 just to confirm that it's nothing to do with any particular PC, machines in Domains and Non-Domain machines.
So, my questions are:-
1, is
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2696547/en-us actually correct and up to date and for the OSes (Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 2012 server and Windows 10) with latest updates & service packs?
2, How do I disable SMB2 and SMB3 on clients for troubleshooting purposes the server to resolve problems with shared files (multi user access)
3, If I just disable SMB2 & 3 from the server would that force the clients not to use SMB2 when communicating with the server and therefore not caching the directory structure and file not found etc? I have seen posts that suggest this is not the case.
4. Does sc.exe have a bug in it?
Thanks in advance
Rob

Hi,
I made a test in our testing enviroment, everything works fine to disable SMB2 and 3. For your problem, in my opinion, as I didn't find any specific report about this error, it would be better to use Process Monitor to capture the trace when running the
command.
Start Process Monitor, then set the filter as cmd.exe, after that, open CMD and execute the command.

In addition, I found another thread that had similar error with yours, you can take its solution as reference.

Roger,
Many thanks for the time taken to look into this.
I've downloaded process monitor and loaded it. I filtered for cmd.exe started capture and saved a 1mb file.
However I don't think this is going to help unless you can point me in the direction of what you're expecting to see in the capture file? If you want me to send you it I can but it does contain personal information which I'd rather not place online.
You can recreate the problem yourself by doing the following:
Go to modern.ie
Download any windows 7 virtual machine for your preferred of virtualisation platform
log in, start cmd as administrator and run the command
sc.exe config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/nsi
You will also receive the same error.
[SC] ChangeServiceConfig FAILED 1059:
Circular Service Dependency was specified.
You can also try it on the Windows 8 and 8.1 machine if you have time.
I checked the link to the similar error and that just looks at the file not found problem which is the smb2 cache. They still didn't resolve the slow access to the share which is seen on a machine that has anti-virus on it when you go to right click
on the folder or a file in the folder. It's about a 20 second (spinning circle) pause every time. The problem is bigger than that. If you have shared files on the network share that are used by multiple people at the same time, say a spreadsheet or database
file windows is loosing the connection to that file so the user cannot write to it even if they have the file open. The smb2 caching shouldn't cause that problem.
It appears that I have to disable from SMB2 and SMB3 and ensure that the clients only use SMB1.
If SMB2 & SMB3 are disabled from the lanmanworkstation service the clients will not do any caching even if the server has disabled the share cache (offline files for that share).
The problem with the "Circular reference" error message is standard across all versions of windows that have "smb2" or "smb2 and smb3". Can you recreate that problem? Or is it working on your windows computer and on the machines
downloaded from modern.ie ?
My testing has shown that the command "sc.exe config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/nsi" does not work. Therefore that's the one I want to resolve first. By resolving that I may be able to get the clients accessing the share to behave
themselves and use the shared files correctly as they always did from Windows 95/NT4 through to Windows XP and 2003/2008 server.
I'm unable to recreate the problem with multiple users having access to shared database files on windows 2012 server from Windows 7 clients were the access to the files drops once a day or once every couple of days.
Kindest Regards
Robert

Frequent Fails when installing Adobe Flash Player (Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8.0, and Windows 8.1)

Constantly see the following error message from Adobe Flash Player Installer:
Error has been encountered. Close this window and try downloading again.
What in heck does that error message mean?
This message occurs most of the time when I try to update to the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.
It would be one thing if it was only occurring on Windows XP, but it shows up on Windows 7, Windows 8.0, and Windows 8.1 frequently.
Just for curiousity looked at the Windows 8.1 Event Viewer and NO error message shows up there.
Would be nice to:
(1) know what the error really is so that it can be reported to you to get it fixed once and for all.
(2) have Adobe Flash Installer NOT to delete itself every time that the installer is run.
(3) have an OFFLINE download installer to download and install Adobe Flash Player without the MacAfee installer.
(4) have Adobe UNCHECK that the Install MacAfee installer that you have to opt out of each time you do an Adobe Flash Player download. You should make it to OPT IN not OPT OUT! Don't need another program installed without my permission. This causes issues when I have to uninstall MacAfee on computers that others in my family use.
It seems to takes up to 20 times to download the Adobe installer over a period of many days or weeks to get it to install properly.
I have written software for over 36 years as a computer programmer and now Senior Software Developer. I have do installers on my own and have to figure out how to solve my own issues on the installers to get them fixed.
This issue doesn't seem to be tied to any particular version of Windows... Same issue occurs on Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8.0, and Windows 8.1! The ONLY commonality seems to be Adobe Flash Player.
Certainly Adobe should be smart enough to fix this issue once and for all.
If the issue is that there is a network congestion error that it cannot download the installer, please say so and please please please DO NOT delete the downloaded installer every time that it is run on a PC.
I'd like to fix the security issues with the Adobe Flash Player AS SOON as there is a patch for it. I don't like having security issues over a long period of time.
Please address this issue so that I can put this to bed and not have to keep sending you messages that once again the Adobe Flash Player Installer is yet again broken!
Certainly you have a staff at Adobe that CAN fix this problem quickly!

more information about errors can be found in the FlashInstall.log file in C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash (and the SysWOW64 equivalent on 64-bit systems)
the offline installers (below) do not delete themselves
you can find the offline installers
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
the offline installers are not bundled with any 3rd-party crapware

HP Pavilion 15-n268sa will not boot after windows update (windows 8.1)

After a series of windows update (windows 8.1) my HP Pavilion 15-n268sa will not boot up, no fan noises, no lights no nothing.
I have tried a "hard reset" a number of times with no success.
When the battery is present the white LED flashes 3 times when the power button is pressed.
Please please help.

Hello Cuffy,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you notebook will not boot after a series of Windows updates.
Can you tell me if you are able to access the HP Recovery Manager by repeatedly tapping the F11 key while the notebook turns on? If you can access this, try doing a system restore to before you installed the updates. If not I would suggest you go through this document: Computer Does Not Start and the LEDs Blink or the Computer Beeps.
If it's the Caps Lock light that is blinking this document will tell you exactly what the error is (spoiler: 3 beeps is a memory failure). This could also explain the failed updates. The updates are stored in the RAM before being applied to the operating system.
You can try reseating the RAM, or using only 1 of the RAM cards, as you have 2x4GB cards. If it still doesn't work with 1 card, try the other card to confirm it has failed.
You can replace defective cards via HP Phone Support if covered under warranty or at the HP Part Store if not covered. You can contact HP Technical Support at 1-800-474-6836 in North America. For all other regions click here.
Hopefully this information helps!
Please click the "Kudos, Thumbs Up" at the bottom of this post if you want to say "Thanks" for helping!
