How can I prevent files are deleted from others?
I have a Mac computer that is used in public, but I'm trying to secure a file to prevent others to remove it. And, if possible, I don't want anyone to open the files. I looked online for solutions; I looked on that you are supposed to put a password on it with a .dmg file using disk utility. I don't want to create a .dmg file, I want the folder itself must be blocked because it is used by other applications. How can I do?
Hi, a useful recommendation is to make all of these invisible files, for that you will need to use the Terminal.
Here are the instructions:
Launch Terminal from/applications/utilities/and use the following command syntax:
chflags nohidden /path/to/hide/file.txt
If you know the path to the file just type yourself. If you do not, follow it drag & drop methodto automatically enter the full path in the Terminal, just be sure to file in after the original order and then press the return key:
chflags hidden [DRAG FILE HERE]
This will hide your folders or files.
To view these files do:
At any time you can view the file with the following chflags command:
chflags nohidden /path/to/hide/file.txt
This means that after the stop at using the computer enter these commands on the terminal and hide them. The user after that you won't be able to see them (unless he knows how to view the files, but in this case, it must be specifically looking for your files). And when you return simply enter the command to the unhide them.
If there is a lot of files trying to group them all on a folder, and this folder hiding, which will automatically hide all content

"Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or a required codec may not be installed on your computer. »

How can I prevent my addon buttons from being hidden by the drop down "more tools" menu?
I have several addon buttons on my toolbar to the right of the obtained. Firefox hides in a menu button drop down titled "more tools... ». I don't want to do that, but I can't figure out how to change this behavior. When I enter the Customization screen, the button disappears, and neither she nor any of the buttons it hides appear on a toolbar or in the component "other tools and features.
Sometimes when I first open Firefox, my addons will show the way I want to do, but then some time in the Firefox session randomly will collapse them in the new drop-down list. How can I stop the Firefox hide something in this drop-down list?
I'm talking about here is a screenshot of the drop-down list: https://i.imgur.com/DVpxxe4.png
Normally, when you adjust the width of the window of the browser, the search box and got will be 'flex' becoming more or less long to accommodate the change. However, they have a minimum width, and if the window becomes narrower than, the "overflow" menu/button will appear.
The problem may occur with a wider window on the sites with certificates EVSSL, like this one, where the owner of the site name appears next to the Green padlock. That takes a lot of space...
You can probably can change the behavior of Firefox with a custom style rule, but 'something' must be sacrificed to make room...

How can I retrieve e-mails deleted from the Inbox today instead of deleted folder
I want to retrieve emails that were in my Inbox. I deleted them by mistake instead of my deleted folder. Is this possible? I have emails before June 20 that I still have. It is each after that I am concerned
- You didn't say what email program you use. Wouldn't be Outlook Express?
- Unless you did a shift/delete, messages must be deleted.
- You have an Inbox.bak file in the Recycle Bin of Windows created no later than June 20?
If you use OE and messages are not in the deleted items and you do not have a BAK file created within the specific time period and you have not compacted your folders since the deletion, and you do not have a backup of your posts, then one of these tools can retrieve messages.
Macallan Outlook Express Extraction:
http://www.insideoe.com/resources/tools.htm#MacallanDBXtract:
http://www.oehelp.com/dbxtract/default.aspxIf you have compacted because the messages have been removed, then this is the only tool that has a chance to recover the messages.
DBXpress
http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/default.aspxYou may need to run in the extract from disk Mode if its normal recovery mode fails to find lost messages.

I lost some of the folders in the library. They exist in the Explorer solutions, but somehow got removed from the library. I can bring them back in but I'm afraid it will happen again in LR. Please help me understand what happened and how can I prevent the recurrence. I use Win7.
A few possibilities:
1 > you click with the right button on the files and chose to remove them from Lightroom.
2 > you have created a new catalog, and records that are not part of another catalog.
Each of these scenarios seem like they could be a possibility?
