Changing the default action when you click on an icon.
When double clicking on a folder icon that opens a search window. If you right click it, it opens a menu as only normal 'search' at the top, is "BOLD". How can I change the default action to 'open '?
Finally got an answer to this one. A friend, I called did. In windows Explorer, click Tools, and then select the folder options.
Under the tab "File Types", select "File Folder", then click "Advanced".
This will allow you to change the settings of the menu file type.

How can I change the default actions of what made the PC when I connect a camera, USB key, etc.. My Samsung intensity II is what I need it for; I want to shoot to the top of this window asking me what to do when I plug in, but one day, I was not thought and press on 'No Action' with the "always perform this action for this device" (or said something like that) checkbox checked.

Welcome to the Microsoft Community Forums.
I see you've found an error "file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action" when you click office and recent places.

Step 1:
Start the computer in safe mode and check the number.
Some options, including the mode safe mode, start Windows in a limited State, where only the essential is started. If a problem doesn't reappear when you start in safe mode, you can eliminate the default settings and basic device drivers and services as a possible cause.
Follow this link provided below to start your computer in safe mode.

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 3 of the KB article provided above.
Method 2: I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.
The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

Change the highlight color when you select files or folders
Hello
Need assistance to change the highlight color when you select files or folders in Windows Explorer / my document.
I use Windows Vista with SP2. I tried to go to control-online personalization panel => color & appearance of the window and changing the settings. However, I can't change the intensity of the highlights that I see it clearly. A little blind colours, I would like to change the color to make it darker so that I could clearly see when an item is selected.
I tried open classic appearance for color options properties more-online advance but did not find an appropriate under "Item" option that I could change. I tried the step "Selected items" under ' point:' but that only applies when I double click on a file or folder.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
TheSalvation of
Sorry to hear that the option is good enough for you. I've done some research more and that you still do not see a way to change what you're asking. As I said before, others have mentioned this issue as well. If I come across a way to do it, I'll post it here.
In the meantime, I'm going to Mark this post as answer whose answer is:
Currently, there is no way to make this change in Windows Vista.
Thanks for posting on Microsoft Answers.

Why the data disappears when you click on a text box on a page of a completed form on?
Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro on Windows 7.
Installation: I created a doc of bid that allows the end user to complete the first page (request for quote) and auto information fills in the next 3 pages, carrying contractors names and info to separate bid documents.
Each of the contractor bid documents must out individually, so I check out them for distribution.
The problem is that the details of the offer requires sometimes scroll down in the text box, which has been activated and works well on the original document, the information disappears when you click the check box in the checked out document.
The original Document ('Scope') field properties:
Original Document - scrollbar behavior works to read all content info:
Extract Document - before clicking the "range".
Extract Document - after clicking on the "range".
Extract Document - properties of the field.
What is blow the information contained in the extracted document when you click on the text box? This does not happen in any other areas of text without scrolling.
Help!
I have never heard forward and cannot reproduce them. What the police that you use for the multiline field? It would be interesting to see a sample file if you can put a somewhere.
Something that might work is first export data from form (in FDF/XFDF), then extract the pages, reset and re-import the data in the page.

Default zoom when you click on the image
Hello.
I just started using LR5 on a Macbook. Before that, I used an Imac and various, computer desktops and laptops.
I was never interested to the configuration of the zoom levels because I never needed too. Good post, and when the image has been enabled, it zoomed.
On my Macbook, the zoom level is medium-low when I click. I don't know if it's just a feeling because of the smaller screen, but I feel like it's zoomed in much less that I'm used to. I searched a lot on the internet everything I do and responses (through the browser or the view menu) it never registers the parameter. It seems that what I want is an image made according to standart and a 2:1 zoom when I click on the image.
How can I make LR keep this configuration? It is very annoying to have to change that, whenever I start LR5.
Thank you.
I re-read your original post. You want that stick through a fence of Lightroom and reopen? Lol there is not a way to do it. The zoom settings are dependent on session. You can bop around LR everything that you want, and they will stick through the session but when you exit the program adjustment and 1:1 are restored.

Change the color of the text to the previous button when you click on a button
Hi all
If I said 7 buttons, each with text that changes color on turnover by using 'Up' 'Over' and 'Down' of the keyframes in the timeline buttons. Is there a simple way to get the text of the button changes color when you click on it, stay that way, and then back to the original color once one of the other 6 buttons are engaged?
The only thing I can get to prepare code pages for each button that changes the color of every other button regardless of whether it was active.
See the code example would help a lot!
Thank you!
use:
var previouslyClickedBtn:MovieClip
var buttonA:Array = [content_mc.work_btn, next button and the rest of your buttons];
var targetA:Array = [work_mc, etc.];for (var i: uint = 0; i<>
.Ivar Button [i] = i;
buttonA [i] .addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, clickF);
buttonA [i] .addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, overF);
buttonA [i] .addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, overF);
}function workOver(e:MouseEvent):void {}
e.currentTarget.gotoAndStop ("over");
}function workClick(e:MouseEvent):void {}
{if(previouslyClickedBtn!=null)}
previouslyClickedBtn.gotoAndStop ("up");
}
e.currentTarget.gotoAndStop ("down");
previouslyClickedBtn = e.currentTarget;
targetA [e.currentTarget.ivar] .gotoAndPlay ("enter");
}function workOut(e:MouseEvent):void {}
content_mc.work_btn.gotoAndStop ("up");

Text for the username variable input area moves to the next screen when you click
I assigned a username variable to a text entry area. If I mouse click inside the text box to enter a name, I am taken to the next screen. In other words, the entry text box seems to act like a button. Is there something I need to change in the Properties window to prevent this?
Hi Eddie,.
You have 2 possible actions: a by clicking on the button (success), a when you click outside the button (the rest of the slide) which is a failure. And you can attach an action at a time. The default action for both is 'Continue', which means that the head of reading which has been suspended by the button, will continue. You don't want that to happen if the user clicks on the button, but outside the key (like by clicking in the field ETB). This is the reason why recommended Manish allows you to change the action for failure to 'No action', which means that nothing will happen if the user clicks outside the button. He can then click in the text field and type its entry.

in a text in 'pages' document - copy - paste an image in a body of text automatically seems to do with 'image remains on the page' and 'automatic', which makes the image stays in place when later editing / adding text... so the picture does not end with the original text that belongs to it.
Can we do the setting "Fix '-' with text Move' -' Inline with the text" setting by default, then it will automatically stick a new image without having to go through a few clicks every time?
Thanks muchly, everyone who might have an idea
Peter
You can insert and to scale an image of your choice, set its object Placement and dressing of your choice and then do a placeholder image. You save then this as a model. When you create a new document based on this template, any image that you copy/paste or drag/drop on this placeholder image will now have your preferences of positioning of the object and the skin. Other that that, you cannot change the default settings of v5.6.1 Pages.
