Windows Profile size and AIR?
Hello,
I have been trying to install TweetDeck and it uses Adobe AIR, when I do though my Windows Profile size becomes to big and I get an error. We currently limit our user profile sizes.
Is there a way I can change where files from AIR are stored so that they are not stored in the profile area, and just to the C:\ instead?
Using Windows XP.
thanks.
This sounds like an option that TweetDeck could implement on their side. I haven't tried this myself, but here's a Windows tweek for changing the location of appdata via the registry.
Change the default location of the "Application Data" folder
Hope this helps,
Chris

Cannot view quicktime window normal size and still see controls!
Help!
I cannot view quicktime window normal size and still see control butttons (pause, play etc.)
I search this forum and found another previous similar question, but the answer. (To use control+0, which would make it half-size.), is not what I need.
What I need is to have a nice fuller size view, (not the narrow little half-size), but any way i find of doing that hides the controls below the bottom of my screen!
I cannot resize it from any side, except the bottom r. corner, which is hidden with these desireable fuller options.Update: this was my mistake - I had neglected to configure all the view containers in the WebDynproCO window, which was generated by adding the GP interface to the component. All is well.

In order to have quicker "profile" backups... I have emails dating back to 1996, about 15GB, and do not want to delete any of the old email, and, at the same time do not need to look at most of the old email, although I may sometimes do a search for something; now, backing up the 15GB profile is time consuming and if I "archived" (saved the old stuff, possibly under a separate profile), then that profile might be 14GB, which, when backed up would not need to be re-backed up, and my daily use profile might be 1GB which would be much easier to back up on a regular basis. I managed to create another profile and I wonder if I can just copy those "folders" in my profile that I want to "archive" into the new profile? And, it is not clear to me how to have both profiles displayed in the same instance of Thunderbird, but, if that is not possible, I'm OK with starting TB and specifying which profile I want for the current session. Thanks.
What I would do is export all of the folders you want to archive to an external medium and then delete them from the profile. If you need to look at an old email later, the export can be in HTML format for easy viewing.
There is an add-on to TB which allows export (and import) of emails in various formats to a separate storage medium (external disk, thumb drive, etc.).
The instructions on how to download and install it can be found at http://barryduggan.info/exportMail.php -
Change itunes window content size and layout
If I use any app, I can resize the window, and resize the contents. And change between boxes and lists. By clicking on the "view" tab on the toolbar menu.
Where is the information on how to change the view of the itunes app window on computer? I don't want huge boxes taking up 3/4 of my screen, that I have to scroll to even see. I want lists, and a resizeable window LIKE ANY OTHER APP. Cannot find ability to change this ANYWHERE! Please! What clever person thought this up and does apple at least give users the ability to change it??? And put it in the "view" toolbar menu, like other apps do, so we can find it? Duh. This takes up nearly my whole screen:
Other apps resize-for example this takes a space the size of the picture below:
Any help or tips appreciated. :-)Hi,
Well i generate a report which has two three columns.....
1) Description
2) Column 1 for fiscal year 2009
3) Column 2 for fiscal year 2008 for comparison
Here after these columns we have unformated space as a column.
Now we tried to hide this column but the system is not allowing to hide this.
How can we remove this unformatted column/space from the print output.
Thanking you,

Adobe folders/files on users' windows profile
Since the upgrade to Adobe Reader 9, we've noticed that user's windows profile size have significantly increased. And we are consistently having to monitor our server (Windows 2003) for diskspace issues. Normally, user's profile size is about 8MB when running Adobe Reader 8.
Now, this folder C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe is using 217MB for each user.
Any ideas as to how/what/why this happen?
Please advise.Hi Maria,
Please seek help from Backup forum, where experts responds to your query soon.
or else wait until any of our moderator move this post to respective forum.
Thank you for understanding.

I can't find a menu to resize my minimized window as it is actually larger than the normal window. The frame of firefox goes right off the screen and will not give me a corner arrow to drag it down to size. Normal window view is just fine. How do I correct this?
It is possible that the screen is too wide or too high and that the scroll bars fall off.<br />
Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.<br />
If that works then close Firefox to save that setting.<br />

Looking for new laptop what are the differences between pro and air? Besides size. Does the air preform like the pro?
The NEW macbook Pro and Air are EXTREMELY close in form factor
The newest macbook Pro is essentially a larger macbook Air with Retina display and options for speed in increasing prices up to an independent graphics and quad core processor.
both Air and new Pro now have PCIe SSD and permanent RAM.
The Air is the lightweight portable form factor, fast to boot and shut down, but with longer battery life than any of the macbook pro in 13"
Now the new macbook Pro and macbook Air are extremely close in form factor and nature.
both have 802ac wifi
both have permanent RAM, no superdrive
both are slim profiles and SSD
The only real differences now are (in the most expensive Pros) faster processors and quadcore processors and top end model autonomous graphics.
....and of course the retina display
both are now "very good for travel"
Other than features the form factor of the Air and Pro are VERY close now,....so now its merely a matter of features and price more than anything.
You need an external HD regardless of what you get for backups etc. Drop into an Apple store and handle both and make your choice based on features, such as Retina or non-retina, .... both at a distance now look like the same computer.
The Pro weighs more, ....but nowhere near what it used to just a month ago on the older macbook Pros
The NEW macbook Pro is a different creature entirely than the older macbook Pro, .....the new Pro is thicker than the Air, but id frankly call the NEWEST Pro a "macbook Air with Retina display" , or
Maybe a “macbook Air PRO with Retina display”
Instead of Air VS Pro now,.....its really a smooth transition from Air to pro without comparing say, 2 different creatures, now its like contrasting a horse from a race horse.
Either one in 8gig of RAM (preferably)... the 4gig upgrade costs very little, the I7 you will notice only 15% faster on heavy applications over the I5, and NOTHING on most APPS.....I5 has longer battery life.
As you see below, the non-Retina 13" AIR is 82% of the Macbook with Retina display in resolution
there is no magical number of pixels per inch that automatically equates to Retina quality.
http://www.cultofmac.com/168509/why-you-might-be-disappointed-by-the-resolution- of-those-new-retina-display-macs-feature/
A huge internal SSD isnt a game changer for anything, you need an external HD anyway
what you WONT READ on Apple.com etc. is that the larger SSD are MUCH FASTER due to SSD density
"The 512GB Samsung SSD found in our 13-inch model offers roughly a 400MB/s increase in write speeds over the 128GB SanDisk/Marvell SSD"

I have added a large widescreen monitor and now have a two-screen set up. This taxed my old video card, so we replaced that, too. Then I updated Firefox. Now my window automatically maximizes. "Restore" is the same size as "Maximize", and I can resize it if I carefully drag and drop all four corners. But if I click on the top bar to relocate the resized window, it re-maximizes. I can't find any options or settings that allow me to fix the window size, lock a customized window size, etc. IE8 is not doing this, so I don't think it's the monitor or desktop settings.

Windows 8 Logon times default user profile size
With the addition of Chromebooks and other devices that boot in 3 seconds, we are re-evaluating our Windows 8 environment. Windows 8 does boot up much quicker, but our domain logon times are still 2+ minutes or more if there is no user profile.
So I took our policies down to the bare minimum to see what is really taking forever for computers to log on.
Using unattend.xml, we use the copyprofile flag to customize the default desktop experience for our users. The default profile then becomes 185MB and I'd like to try and reduce that to improve logon times when no profile exists. The
following folders are where the majority of space is being used and I want to know if I can delete them in the default user profile.
25MB c:\users\default\appdata\local\microsoft\windows\explorer - Icon and Tile Cache
40MB c:\users\default\appdata\local\microsoft\windows\WebCache - log files in machine language
7MB c:\users\default\appdata\local\microsoft\windows\notification
7MB c:\users\default\appdata\locallow\adobe\shockwave player 11\xtras\download\adobesystemsincorporated
3MB c:\users\deafult\appdata\roaming\microsoft\Bibliography
4MB c:\users\deafult\appdata\roaming\microsoft\Document Building Blocks\1033\15\Built-in Building Blocks.dotx
How fast can I make it? I used autologon registry keys to logon to a domain account (non-administrator). Timings are from totally off to viewing the Start Screen.
The BIOS on our HP 6306 takes about 12 seconds to even start booting Windows 8 and so the total boot time till the start menu shows is 25 seconds with Windows 8 taking 13 seconds to boot and logon. That is really, really nice.
So then I added 3 mapped drives (not redirection) and one printer to the group policy and that didn't add any time once the profile was created.
Creating a profile is what really slows down the logon process. Granted this is much after after the profile is done, but the vast manjory of our machines are public with random students/staff logging on to them.
More testing to come.Were you able to reduce the size of the default profile?

I Just purchased a 21.5 iMac and connected it to the Internet using a apple air port router. How do I connect my windows PC to my air port router so I can transfer files.
It makes life easier to install the airport utility for windows.. which has a couple of different apps in it.. if you airport is new type then the utility is too old.. but is still valuable for Bonjour which provides network information for shared devices in the apple world to windows.. and a disk access agent..
It will also help the Apple computer access shared directory in the windows computer.. nowadays this is pretty easy. -
Using windows 8.1 and photoshop cs4 the font size of the MENUS is so small as to be almost unreadable. how do i make the menu fonts larger. this is happening also with bridge
Thank you so much. You are absolutely right. I will have to reduce the screen density when I work with those programs.

Acrobat won't remember size and shape of window
I'm running Acrobat Standard 7.1.0 on Windows XP Professional SP3. Each time I open Acrobat, either directly or by clicking on a PDF email attachment, the application opens in a landscape shaped (horizontally oriented) rectangular window. I then resize and reshape the window in a portrait format for ease of use. Unlike every other Windows application, Acrobat simply will not remember the window size and shape that I prefer. Is this behavior unique, or have others experienced it as well? Is there anything I can do to correct the problem?
I know this is WAY after the fact and it's not likely to get a response but it's worth trying anyway:
I'm using Acrobat 9 Standard on XP Professional and I have the window resize problem. Every time I open Acrobat--directly or by opening a PDF file--the window is always on my left monitor and sized so large that it almost fills the screen. The document opens at 100% zoom by default and barely fills 2/3 of the program window as set in preferences as is "Restore las view settings when reopening documents".
Here's the rub: this problem only started after PDFlyer toolbar was installed.
Any ideas? -

Go step by step and test.
1. Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.
Plug it back to the wall. Power the router on. Wait until all the lights are lit properly. It will take a while.
Restart the computer.
