    • Click Browse, find and then click the program you want to use, and then click Open.

  • Default file not found - necessary to recover from a corrupt registry XP

    I'm trying to follow the instructions to fix the "windows\system32\config\system missing or damaged file.  I copied the first 4 files without difficulty.  However, when I try to copy c:\windows\system32\config\default to create a tmp file, the system cannot find the specified file.  Can I continue with the rest of the instructions?  Or it will not work without the default file?

    1. At the Recovery Console prompt, type the following lines, pressing ENTER after you type each line:

      MD tmp

      copy c:\windows\system32\config\software c:\windows\tmp\software.bak

      copy c:\windows\system32\config\security c:\windows\tmp\security.bak

      delete c:\windows\system32\config\system

  • Default file name: Windows and scan Windows (Windows 7)

    How to change you the file name by default for a scan? I tried the method below:

    "To change the file name by default for a scanned document or photo, right click on the name of the file in the view of Scan and then click Rename."

    For me, this method only renames the current file and does not affect the value 'default'. Furthermore, is it possible to assign a unique number or the date (s) default file name? This is important when the follow-up documents.

    Thank you.

    That's what it's supposed to do, rename the current file.  There is no way to change the default name prior to his assignment to a digital file, however, I think that you can change the name before saving it.  No, there is no way to assign something unique default file name.

  • How can I change the default file locations in the dialog box "Save as" in Windows 7 x 64?

    I tried all the tips and tricks of WinXP, but they do not seem to work in Win7. Does anyone know how to change the location of the default files for the dialog box "Save as" in Win7?

    It seems, in Windows 7, that you cannot change locations by default save as file.

    In XP, we could modify the registry or use other methods to change the location of the files that appear on the left margin of the Save as dialog box. But some Morón in Redmond chose to end with good sense and called "libraries."

    I really wish Microsoft would stop doing what they think, it's the best for Grandma and little Suzy and give us what expect when we pay for these programs.

    Hello!

    in win 7, all of my shortcuts open as default file, ex: all my shortcuts of my programs in my office, open with internet explorer, what should I do?

    It seems as if .lnk (shortcuts) are wrongly associated with Internet Explorer. Executes him. Association of LNK REG difficulty from here should solve the problem:

  • How to set a default file for the recording of the work type

    Looking and looking, is there really no way to define the type of default file for the recording of the Photoshop work?

    Not save as.  After this adjustment, just use Ctrl s

    Try this:

    Make a new file

    Save as and Ctrl, click on the PNG format

    Be another file and use Ctrl s.  The Save dialog box opens and the format will always be PNG

    Use Save as, and Ctrl-click on PDF

    Make another new file and Ctrl s.  PDF will now be the format.

  • How can I change the default file save type

    I saw this issue everywhere in the web, but none of the answers I found to apply to my version of Photoshop (CS5).

    I want to change the file type by default when I save files.  I don't want to PSD or PDF, I want PNG.

    I want to hit CTRL + SHIFT + S as usual, but I don't want to select PNG in the drop down menu below, when I on behalf of my articles.

    I don't want to create an action for each file, that I work with - I want it to be a change of default setting on all of photoshop on each file.

    Any help?  Adobe has been zero support.

    I already tried the 'Actions' method - which is glitchy in and of itself!

    What I do is very simple - I'm doing slideshows.  I create a new file that is 1920 x 1280 (the size of my screen) and I have to open 100 + images.  I have copy and paste each image in the file 1920 x 1280, so that all images even show up on my screen when I run the slides.  I have re-size and adjust the position of each image, so it appears the way I want to.

    So I copy and paste my first image in the Web of 1920 x 1280 and then press F2 (the button I have applied to save it as a PNG action to).  It saves the file.  Then I copy and paste another picture in the file and press F2.  Rather than creating a new file (or a copy) Photoshop writes on the last file I made.  YAY!  More lost time!

    It blows my mind that a function as simple as 'Change default file Type' is missing in a too expensive, accredited program.  How their software engineers can ignore something that hundreds of other people (like me) have displayed a need for online?  Something so simple?  Andy why does my work now learn how to make scripts for Photoshop add a feature that should be standard?  Is - which is why I pay $50 a month for this software or why I bought CS5 outright for over $ 1000?

    That's what I'm trying to do--make a slideshow where each image is exactly the same size.  It seems that the only option given to me by adobe is "LOSS MORE OF YOUR TIME.

  • Message outlook to PDF conversion: change the name of the default file to the time instead of the subject?

    I have a large amout of email that I convert to PDF using a plug-in in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI through messages Outlook 2010.  I don't want a portfolio created, rather a single pdf file.  I've been open every message and conversion to pdf format, rename the file with date/time (subject line is the default file name), can I combine PDF mutiple files in a single document.  This process would go a lot faster if I could change the file name by default at the time, rather than rename them myself.  Does anyone have an idea on how to change this setting?  Or any other ideas to make this process easier?

    Hi melrogotzke,

    In Outlook 2010, when you click on the tab 'Adobe PDF' there is an option "change Conversion settings.

    In the present, uncheck the option "Output Adobe PDF portfolio when creating a new PDF file".

    You can now select the mails in outlook and convert to PDF and all selected emails would get combined into a single pdf file.

    The application data folder, windows xp, has a folder called q2tw177e.default, located in the profile folder. I know nothing with this label when searching google. Makes me suspicious of this folder. Nobody knows anything about. Thank you.

    There is nothing to fear from this folder.

    This is the real Firefox profile folder that stores your personal data.

    There are two of them:

    • C:\Documents and Settings\ < user > < profile > \Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\.
    • C:\Documents and Settings\ < user > Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ < profile > \Local Settings\Application.

    The latter is used for the cache of navigation and a few other files.

    See also the about: cache for the location of the cache page.

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
