Executable files are asking for association

When an executable file, or shortcut to it, is double clicked, instead of the file running, the user is invited to what program use to open the file.

Malicious software has been removed, and this does not happen with a new user profile.

Hello

  • Can Adobe Premiere and hearing of "Royalty Free" music files are used for projects 'commercial '?

    I apologize for not being able to find the answer on my own, but can anyone please answer this: can Adobe Premiere and hearing of "Royalty Free" music files are used for projects 'commercial '?

    Wikipedia:fee-free, or RF, means the right to use the material under copyright or intellectual property without having to pay royalties or license for each use or by the volume of sales, or some time to use or sell."

    You 'Royalty Free' rights free of charge can be granted or pay for it.  Music sites "Royalty Free" often have several awards.  Individual use will be much cheaper than the use in business.

    It is a premier forum, not a Premier Pro forum elements or hearing.  But, if Adobe labels tracks provided with these programs and call them 'Royalty Free' and does not list the restrictions, you can use it for what you want.

    Another approach is called "Creative Commons".  Basically, you can benefit from creative use of the work if you provide proper credit.  It helps to spread and the reputation of the artist.   Creative Commons "licenses" have several versions and can also be confusing.

  • Cannot start web server on the executable file

    Hello

    We have a problem with a Web server - we cannot get to initialize the help of nodes of property or the ini on a compiled executable file.

    As part of our application, we are starting the Web server to publish a status page to be read remotely. This works very well when we are running in the development environment and also when we run an executable a PC with installed development environment, however it will not boot on a PC with just the runtime installed.

    I have attached some of the code that functionally does exactly the same thing in our main application. I used this as my Tester code and built in an exe while trying a lot of different things to fix.

    When executing:

    • The code will sit in the while loop until I press stop.
    • Web server: Active Server = FALSE
    • Out error = ERROR No.

    In the full application the while loop waits a few seconds before throw an error if the server is not started. In this example, I can let the loop running for awhile without leave. Normally, the boot time is<50ms when="">

    It's the ini file to the executable file:

    [WebTest]
    server.app.propertiesEnabled = True
    Server.OLE.Enabled = True
    server.tcp.serviceName = "My Server computer/VI"
    server.vi.propertiesEnabled = True
    WebServer.Enabled = True
    WebServer.TcpAccess = "' + * '"
    WebServer.ViAccess = "' + * '"
    DebugServerEnabled = False
    DebugServerWaitOnLaunch = False

    And it is the Web server configuration file:

    ErrorLog "$LVSERVER_ROOT/logs/error.log".
    LogLevel 3
    The default server name
    DocumentRoot "$LVSERVER_ROOT /... /.. '. "/ www".
    Listen 8000
    ThreadLimit 10
    TypesConfig "$LVSERVER_ROOT/mime.types»
    DirectoryIndex index.html
    LoadModulePath "$LVSERVER_ROOT/modules '" $LVSERVER_ROOT/LVModules "" $LVSERVER_ROOT /... ".
    LoadModule LVAuth lvauthmodule
    LoadModule LVSnapshot lvsnapshotmodule
    LoadModule LVRFP lvrfpmodule
    LoadModule dir libdirModule
    LoadModule copy libcopyModule

    AddHandler LVAuthHandler
    AddHandler LVSnapshotHandler .snap
    AddHandler LVRFPHandler

    AddHandler dirHandler
    AddHandler copyHandler

    "CustomLog"$LVSERVER_ROOT/logs/access.log"'%%u %t \"%r\ hour' % > s %b.
    KeepAlive on
    KeepAliveTimeout 60
    Timeout 60

    As can side note, anyone tell me where the $LVSERVER_ROOT variable is configured?

    I tried the things:

    • Copy a new default configuration file before the entry into force
    • Writing a predefined file (encoded) before initializing config
    • Definition to root before initializing directory (it actually generates an error because the server is not active...)
    • Set WebServer.Active = TRUE several times inside the while loop
    • Toggle the web server in the ini file

    System:

    • LabVIEW 2010
    • PC with Windows 7 running

    Thanks for any help, because it makes me crazy slow!

    Ben

    Hi Marco, thanks for the reply.

    I have this guide was reviewed previously and had done all that he but a small section who gave me a hint of something to try and I have solved my problem, so thank you!

    If anyone is interested, here's the problem:

    The directive DocumentRoot folder in the config must exist or the Web server cannot be started. So basically, make sure that the file points to a folder that exists!

    This leaves two small annoying problems if - you can't see if the file exists (and then create it) before starting the Web server, because you can not query the path to the folder without the Web server running.

    AND

    You can't really define the configuration programmatically file as parameters from the file are responsible for execution, not on the start Web server.

    The result of this is that the config file and the folder root document should be created (and corresponding of course...) when the executable is built / installed on the system. Not a massive headache, but it means do not forget to put things in the build specification and do not rely on software to do the job at startup

  • Some of my library files are hidden in Windows 7

    Some of my library files are hidden for a reason, such as music, documents and pictures.  My download folder is not.  I know they are there; I went to Union - folder and search - options display the files and folders and they appear, but Misty as they are hidden.  So I checked the files they point, they were awarded 'hidden', so I not hid them, still foggy folders shortcuts and hidden.  I can't select an attribute for the shortcut when I right click on say that the images in the left pane.

    What's wrong?  Can anyone tell me please where to change it, so I can fix it.

    James

    Hello

    You did it changes on the computer before the problem started?

    By default, the folders in the library (images, music, documents and videos) are displayed and you cannot hide.

    Follow these steps and check if it solves the problem:

    Step 1: Resetting folder view settings.
    a. click on tools in the menu bar of Windows Explorer window and choose Folder Options.
    b. in the Folder Options window, select the view tab and click on the button Reset records.
    c. you will be asked to confirm if we reset all folders of this type to the default view configuration, click Yes.

    Step 2: download and run the tool fixit from the link below:

    Step 3: perform a system restore to restore the computer to an earlier point in time before the problem started.

  • inDesign (indd) files are set to open with Acrobat Pro XI and I can't change it

    Ive tried following various items of advice offered to people with a similar problem here and without success.

    I had a big catch - up in my Acrobat where someone is no longer deleted police default installation used in context menus. Therefore Acrobat was seriously messed up. Adobe technology patiently walked me through fixing the problem but... Since all the .indd files are configurΘ for dΘmarrer with acrobat and I can't put to open in inDesign. The registry key has a couple of these entries number of Monster under indd I can't identify or understand what they represent.

    This is starting to drive me crazy. Using 'open with' has no effect. Acrobat always try to open the file. The only way I can now open an indesign file must first open inDesign and search for a file. Fortunately there will open it this way. I have a house full of CC on this workstation and I am not thrilled to the likely hood of formatting of the disc and everything again. Surely someone else had had and solved this problem?

    Thank you

    Peter... I told you in my last post how long it took to repair... 90 seconds. Comrade in Germany who told me how to find the hive was on my Google chat online. It was as if he was beside me, tell me what to do. He also told me a few relatively simple facts on how to uninstall Windows works and why using it is a recipe for disaster if you plan to install a new version of the software that you remove. It was the beginning of the problem. Had, I used a specialized uninstaller following registry entries left by the Windows uninstaller, ($30 I might add) the problem would never have existed.

    Peter... I suggest that the only reason to delete and reinstall is your proven method to solve the problem because the simplest and fastest method (for someone who is familiar with windows) is to edit the registry as described to me by a MS Certified Engineer. Frans van der Geest is quite right in saying it's an OS problem and just like you, he gave no indication of how to solve this problem. The own Adobe installer is so inefficient to delete the software, when I removed the version 5.0 of ID by using the Adobe uninstaller program, he left traces of the program in the registry and temp folders hidden under the Group of files 'user '.

    Once I got the knowledge that I asked here but had to go to a technologically oriented windows forum to get the fix took less time than writing that took this answer. In addition... I now know how to avoid future events of this type and, if necessary, help others to avoid the tedious task of uninstalling software that traces of leaves scattered around the hard drive self while waiting to resume the problem (as it did for me) when a later version is installed.

    I suggest everyone who experiences this problem to get your hands on a well known and reliable uninstall application and use it to remove all traces of the rogue program before installing a later version of the. I'm undecided if keeping multiple versions of Adobe software on your system of insecurity when you buy a subscription of the CC is good or bad but you provided unregister the software bought, you can always reinstall if you refuse to CC... Reformatting the drive is probably the only way you'll never completely rid your PC of CC, but seeing that this is the way of the future, why bother removing it?

    You can install GarageBand 11 of these media, if you set the date system your mac to a date until the installer has been released. Then, the certificate will be valid.

    the appearance of the inheritance is only accessible to the general public on the MacBook Pro.

    But because of legacy patches are available on your MacBook pro, you can copy all the missing files from the library of the Instrument and loop library in your other Mac.

    Compare these files in the folder/library on your system drive on Mac of high level.

    The instrument library: Library/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument.

    and loop library: / Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple /.

    Copy all the files to the corresponding folders on your MacBook Pro that is not there.
