  • Help: How do reset you default values for the session and the time-out at the admin level

    Hello

    The DBA was trying to save the settings of time-out value by following the instructions and it kept him setting a default off 28800 timeout of Session Timeout and Idle of 3600.

    He saved the value 1, and now we cannot get to change.

    How do reset you the default preferences?

    Bill,

    Sorry, I missed your point. To undo this damage, try this:

    Connect as SYS

    ALTER session set current_schema = apex_030200
    /
    wwv_flow_platform.set_preference (p_preference_name-online 'MAX_SESSION_IDLE_SEC', p_preference_value-online 3600)
    /
    wwv_flow_platform.set_preference (p_preference_name-online 'MAX_SESSION_LENGTH_SEC', p_preference_value-online 28800)
    /
    Commit
    /

    Adjust 3600 and 28800 as you like.

  • How can I make my default program for the Adobe Downloads?

    How can I make my default program for the Adobe Downloads?

    Set up the default program depends on the type of file you download, Ex:-PDF file open in Adobe Reader or Acrobat.

    The downloaded file is opened in the default program set on your computer for this file type.

    The steps may vary for Windows and Mac.

    Windows

    Right click on any file with the file type that you want to change the default program Ex:-Pdf,.

    Select 'open with '.

    and from the list select your application that you want to set default Ex: Acrobat

    Check the option on the bottom, "always choose this application to open this file type.

    Mac

    CTRL + click on any file with the file type

    Go to 'Get Info '.

    Modify the Application in the 'open with '.

    Select 'change everything '.

    Close window 'Get info '.

  • In "set your default programs" under Win7, file associations of Firefox are altered.

    "Set your default programs" in the control panel of Windows 7, Firefox appears in the list of "Programs" on the left. But its icon is that of Windows Media Player.

    After I click on the name of the program (Firefox) to see the details on the right, I noticed that Firefox icon becomes that of Windows Media Player, also. And "Mozilla Corporation" becomes "Microsoft Corporation".

    If I click on "Set this program as default", files of these types are opened by Windows Media Player, no Firefox:
    htm, html, shtml, xht, xhtml.

    So I must manually associate these file types Firefox to "associate a type of file or Protocol with a specific program.

    To resolve this problem, should what registry entries I change?

    You can try to uninstall and reinstall Firefox, perhaps as an administrator.

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.

    Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.

    Uninstall your current version of Firefox, if possible, the settings in the software security and cleaning of the Windows registry.

    • Do NOT remove the data personal when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because all profile files will be deleted and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords from other versions of Firefox profiles.

    Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

    • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.

    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but make sure that 'delete personal data' is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

  • When I open "Set your default programs" in my list of programs by default, Internet Explorer is not listed. Nothing happens when I try to add using "Set Program Access and Computer Defaults"

    It started when the links in my Windows Mail messages stopped working. I received an "Application not found" error when I clicked on a link in an e-mail. I went online to find an answer and told everything to use the list of default programs. But IE is not on it and I cannot Explorer to display in the list, no matter what I do. It is, however, listed as my browser program by default when I go to IE tools > Internet Options > programs.

    At the same time links Windows Mail has stopped working, IE icon disappeared from my office. However, I was able to restore, and that seems to work very well, like the Explorer himself. I tried to reset the default settings of IE using tools > Internet OPtions (although that I changed the personal settings), but that does not make the difference.

    Also, it seems that the 2nd IE icon (which looks like a small page, rather than the usual 'e' with halo) on my bar launch and in my programs. When I click on that, I get a message saying "Windows searches for IExplore.exe. To locate the file yourself,... "And then it says the shortcut has been changed or moved. This would be part of the problem?

    Hello purgould,

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

    You have whatever it be listed in your programs by default, or is it completely empty?
    If there is nothing listed, you can view the link here which has a solution that helped some people.

    If you don't have some programs listed in default programs, then that would probably not help.
    Have you tried doing a SFC/scannow?

    Try the following steps:

    First of all, we run System File Checker to see if you have a corrupt file system.

    Click Start

    Click on all programs

    Click Accessories, and then right-click on the command prompt.

    Select the Security tab and choose "Run as Administrator"

    Click on command prompt

    Type SFC/scannow.

    It will scan and repair any damaged operating system files.

    If please reply back and let us know if this helped with your question.

    Sincerely,
