I did some research, but he has only led hacks registry, I tried but not lucky? Does anyone know of a way?

Here is a free software that will do it without risky registry changes.  Of course I would recommend when even take a few seconds to create a system restore point before using it, just to be sure.

  • How can I change the default setting for the objects in question slide?

    When I insert a question slide objects are displayed for the "rest of project".  Where would I go to change the objects of the main question to display for the 'rest of slide"slide instead of the"rest of project "?

    A model is something totally different, as I explained in this article. Save over and over time (with different names) could more easily corrupt your workflow with the 'model' is even quite dangerous Maybe it's what happened.  A model is a file of cptl where you want more than a simple design, have blades with placeholders, shares advanced, variable etc.. It can be used only with file, new project model and which means its resolution are solved.

  • How can I change the default destination for 'add to library' (command-o)?

    'Add to library' always by default is the my documents folder, when virtually everything I want to add to iTunes is in my music folder. Y at - it a terminal command that I can use to always direct command-o in my music folder instead? Thank you.

    In an ideal world what you add to iTunes would be stored in the iTunes Media folder, and nothing in the iTunes Media folder would be connected to the library. Maybe it would be easier to drag and drop the content that you want to add to the library to add it automatically in the folder iTunes, or place it in the media folder and drag it to the interface of iTunes.

  • How can I change the default topics listed in Windows Explorer?

    When I look at the files in Windows Explorer there are positions that I find little use for me. I would like to change the default headings listed to display only those that I use most often as update, size, Type and Date of creation. How can I change the default settings for securities so that these topics, such as tags and side are not displayed?

    To change the headers, right-click on the header bar, and click more.  You will see a list of options to be included in the header, and you can place about to adapt to your desires.  But they will not stick unless you modify the template for this type of file.  Procedures for this follow-up.

    Here's how to change the default template for a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/70819-windows-explorer-folder-view-settings.html.  Default behavior is to select the model based on the first type of file placed in the folder (you must choose something).  Vista sets the folder type template according to what are the types of files in the window and the settings display window Explorer. This will show you how reset the display settings of Windows Explorer folder (which is what I think you want), disable Automatic folder Type discoveryand increase the view of the folder cache to have Vista don't forget not the display, model of file type settings, the size or the position of a window for when it was still closed to the location of specific path.

    It does not work with the Sub record under, Open with, open in a new tab (Internet Explorer), etc... dialog windows of type through the good File menu bar item. These don't seem to be able to have their size or their position to recall. For the latter, you can use the free program http://autosizer.en.softonic.com/ to resize them.

    Here is another article on how to modify the columns in Windows Explorer and sort in Vista: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/108665-column-customize.html.  This will show you how Add, Remove, move, change the widthand change the sort order of the columns in Windows Explorer in the way that you want.

    Here is another article on how to change the display of the default folders in Vista (but she argues, it is not a perfect solution and can revert to the previous behavior is not as good as the two prior links provided: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13880_3-10019957-68.html.)

    I hope this helps in your situation.

    Good luck!
