Hey Adobe, could I know how to configure the printer setting in Photoshop CS6 on the Lable print.
Hello
Are you referring to the labels under brands of printing option when you open the print dialog window?
If you check this option button, the name of the file you are editing will be printed on the top of the page, as shown below. You can change this label by changing the name of your file (go in file > save the to do)
If you want to learn more about the print marks, take a look at this help document.
If you try to print actual labels, you will need to use a pre-made template or create your own. Here is a template you can download free Adobe!

Of product Microsoft Office updates, how to prevent them from being auto checked?
I have a dv7-3165dx, and it came loaded with a number of versions of Microsoft Office product trial pre-installed. As I do not use the product, I see no reason to get updates for them, however whenever I get a new Note Microsoft Update there are 22 updates for the office products pre-selected. Uninstall the trial Office software would prevent that? I can't find any setting prevent that from happening.
IF what I post solves your problem, please, click the button 'Problem solved' on my post.
Oh, and if I helped you, by clicking on the star of "Congratulations" on my post would not hurt my feelings ether.Hello:
It is possible that the uninstall of Office trial programs would prevent updates.
Can you go to Windows Update and for each update, you do not want, I think that you can choose to hide.

How to configure vswitch security policy using the API?
Hello world
Does anyone know how to set up a vswitch on ESXi Server security policy by using the management API (the idea is to do this in a script)?
I think specifically the macchange and forgedxmit parameters which are set to true by default, and I want to change false. Note that I also need a way to control the value from a script.
I used to do with vmware-vim-cmd hostsvc/net/vswitch_setpolicy-securepolicy-macchange = false vSwitchn and vmware-vim-cmd hostsvc/net/vswitch_setpolicy-securepolicy-forgedxmit = false vSwitchn in the ESX 3.x service console, but I'll try (unsuccessfully so far) to find an equivalent using RCLI or Powershell (I don't want to enable ssh on my ESXi and use vim - cmd as I want to be able to do remote securely.
Ideally, it would work while the host is in active locking mode (so I only need to authenticate on my server vCenter).
Advice would be appreciated.
See you soon,.

To update the security policy, you will need to watch the HostNetworkSecurityPolicy : http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk25pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.host.NetworkPolicy.SecurityPolicy.html#allowPromiscuous
You'll want to access the vSwitch you are interested using the following:
[hostSystem->-> networkSystem configManager - >-> vSwitch networkConfig]
Once the reference to the vSwitch, you'll want to create HostVirtualSwitchConfig spec: changes to http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk25pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.host.VirtualSwitch.Config.html or policies make-> security which will contain (allowPromiscuous, forgedTransmits, macChanges) for changes that are just Boolean parameters.

I live in an apartment bldg & want to know if my phone is secured with a wireless router & domestic implementation of a network. I have a laptop HP under Win 7 pro, a desktop computer using XP, & a wireless Canon printer? I use Microsoft Security Essentials for security. Can you tell me the right settings to ensure the safety of my business? And if I use the 'Public' library in documents others may see them outside my home network?
Hi Tere,
You can see this Microsoft article to strengthen the security of your computer and your network.
Make your network more secure
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/making-your-network-more-secure
Personal information and files on your wireless network can sometimes be seen by people to pick up the signal from your network. This can lead to identity theft and other acts of violence. A network security key or password can help protect your network against this type of unauthorized access wireless. Refer to this article for more information:
Set up a security key for a wireless network
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/set-up-a-security-key-for-a-wireless-network
Public folders are a convenient way to share files on your computer. You can share files in the public folders with other people using the same computer and with people using other computers on your network. Any file or folder you put in a folder Public is automatically shared with the people who have access to your public folders.

Original title: winhttp.dll does not work how can I down load it
I have win xp winhttp dll I can't use adobe or yahoo.
Once more, the response from the Support Engineer with a link to an article that does not help is marked as 'response' by a moderator of the Forum after 6 days of inactivity when it isn't the answer to everything.
It's a real shame the way things work around here. If I were Microsoft and "indulged" these technical support engineers who regularly publish responses that are unnecessary and they are marked as 'response', I think that I would call off the coast of the commitment. "
Usually, it's just not worth reading these Support Engineer 'Answers' as they are not even close. They are usually just wild goose hunting.
WinHTTP.dll if missing some things just will not start:
BITS service (Background Intelligent Transfer Service)
Automatic update serviceIn the Event Viewer system log, you will see tings like this:
Service

Error: 126: the specified module could not be found

The Background Intelligent Transfer Service is completed with the following error:

This application has failed to start because WINHTTP.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.Running sfc/scannow will not replace the winhttp.dll file missing. I know because I tried.
I downloaded a copy of XP Pro SP3 file you need on my SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).
You can download it and when you do, place a copy of the file in these two folders (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):
c:\Windows\System32
c:\Windows\System32\dllcache (this is where XP keeps backups of important files).Here is the link to my SkyDrive and you can get the file you need here:
http://CID-6a7e789cab1d6f39.SkyDrive.live.com/redir.aspx?RESID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311When you see the files available for download, you can not see the file extension (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc.), but when download you them they will have the right extension.
When you download the file (especially if you use Internet Explorer), when you get a chance to save the file, your browser is unable to save the file with an extension (by example, .exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc) then you will need to manually add the extension appropriate to the file when you download the file before you save it.
You can download the file without the extension, and then rename the file to add the appropriate extension. You do not want to use a file called winhttp when the name of the file should really be called winhttp.dll (if the downloaded file has no extension, you will need to change the name of the file to add the appropriate extension to make it work.
You then put the downloaded files in the correct folders on your system.

How can I remove users from being able to clear history?
I need to know how to lock preferences for the parameters of the story. I don't want users to be able to change the settings of the story and I already tried the local method - settings.js and mozill.cfg. But the settings don't not gray in the menu options once I put them and that's what I want. I know that my file is playing because I have other parameters that are shown in italics in the subject: config that I blocked. I'm using the wrong settings of the to do it eventually? Or is there another method that I need to use. I already followed all the 't' on this page: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
Here is my test mozilla.cfg file I created:
//
lockPref ("app.update.auto", false);
lockPref ("app.update.enabled", false);
lockPref ("app.update.service.enabled", false);
lockPref ("toolkit.telemetry.prompted", true);
lockPref ("browser.rights.override", true);
lockPref ("browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone", "ignore");
lockPref ("browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser", false);
lockPref ("privacy.item.downloads", false);
lockPref ("privacy.item.cache", false);
lockPref ("privacy.item.formdata", false);
lockPref ("privacy.item.history", false);
lockPref ("privacy.item.offlineApps", false);
lockPref ("privacy.item.passwords", false);
lockPref ("privacy.item.sessions", false);
lockPref ("privacy.item.siteprefs", false);
lockPref ("privacy.item.cookies", true);
lockPref ("browser.preferences.privacy.selectedTabIndex", 1);
lockPref ("browser.preferences.privacy.selectedTabIndex", 2);
lockPref ("browser.preferences.privacy.selectedTabIndex", 3);
lockPref ("browser.preferences.privacy.selectedTabIndex", 4);
lockPref ("browser.preferences.privacy.selectedTabIndex", 5);Who you trying to change in the settings Option > privacy and you want to prevent others to change?
You crashes only the settings in 'Clear history of Firefox closing' and not the main parameters.
You can take a look to the topic: config page to see if it has affected prefs by activating / disabling the checkboxes.I don't know which have effect. privacy.item * Pref.
The subject: config page shows only one for privacy.item.cookies and the source code makes clear to me also.I don't know why you want to include items such as sessions (active connections, basic authentication) used by FTP servers and disk cache and offline cache (offlineApps) application.
People should be able to delete data in the event of problems and clear the cache and cookies must be one of them (we recommend a lot of times to clear the cache and cookies).
Clears the form data and research should also be possible unless you disable save both passwords and form/search data.Note that only tools > Options > advanced tabs, then browser.preferences.privacy.selectedTabIndex will have no effect.
Browser.history_expire_days preferences and browser.history_expire_days_min are obsolete in the current Firefox and used only versions in versions of Firefox 3. -

How can I transfer my products of Adobe software from my old to my new computer?
I have Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Acrobat XI Std and Adobe Dreamweaver CS6 on my current computer. I want to transfer the software on my new computer. I have the codes and guidelines that were sent to me when I bought the original software. Can I just run through the process again once with my new computer that I have copies on both computers? Or I have to delete the current computer software to download to my new computer?
Your license allows you to have two machines with active facilities, so if you want both then just install it as you did initially. If you need to download all the files, you should be able to find them through the following page.
