  • Lock and unlock the buttons in related specifications

    Hello

    By default for us when we add any requirement under the specification of the material, trade related specifications Spec tab by default is to show the lock button we want it to be unlock position and when I went through the config doc I saw mobile PHONES. GetCustomRevision.FormulationSpecAlternates.Default.Enabled set to true in the custom settings, and then on the release button will be there by default.

    Is - it can be done by setting up or do we need to make other changes in all other files.

    Please suggest.

    Thank you

    Rohini.


    You are right, if you set which the true will set the lock to be "unlocked".  The location you mentioned is for grid alternate specifications of formulation.

    The specification of trade has its own configs as well:

    "GSM. GetCustomRevision.TradeSpecMaterial.Default.Enabled"will control the grid of Spec material on a Spec of trade

    "GSM. GetCustomRevision.TradeSpecNextLowerLevel.Default.Enabled"will control the next lower spec trade level grid on trade specifications.

    A complete list of locations are in the Configuration page of the guide to-22.

  • How can I bitlock a device without going through the appropriate menus and related software to lock and unlock a device?

    Original title: ILO-locked usb device

    I have a 64 GB... new USB key... and put music on it. After a while, I decided to use it for another use, but could not remove the files because the device is write-protected. I never write protect anything.

    I had an individual look of microsoft cert to the USB and he said it was not locked.

    I did some research on bit locker and Win 7 Pro and discovered that I can't find the Group Policy Editor where all bit locker said tech data is located.

    So, how can I lock bit, a device without going through the appropriate menus and associated software application necessary to lock and unlock a device?

    Hello

    When you turn off BitLocker, you can either disable BitLocker temporarily or to decrypt the volume. Disable BitLocker allows TPM and other minor changes module changes the system. Decrypt the volume means that the volume will be entirely decrypted, and that all the keys are ignored. You must decrypt a computer before the operating system upgrade. Once a volume is decrypted, you must generate new keys through the encryption process again once, if you want to enable BitLocker.

    Before you start

    > You must be logged in as an administrator.

    > The volume must be encrypted.

    To turn off BitLocker Drive encryption

    (a) click Start, click Control Panel, click Security, and then click BitLocker Drive Encryption.

    (b) from the BitLocker Drive Encryption page, find the volume on which you want BitLocker Drive Encryption goes off, and click turn off BitLocker Drive Encryption.

    (c) what level of decryption do you want the dialog box, click disable BitLocker Drive Encryption or decrypt the volume as required.

    (d) by performing this procedure, you have disabled BitLocker or decrypted the operating system volume.

  • locking the computer: if not using computer for a while, it locks and requires the initial password to get in

    So do not use computer for a while, it locks and requires the initial password to get back in. When it becomes available, we've been thrown off internet, or another program we are.

    I don't know why Mr. Murphy suggested a system restore. Maybe he interpreted your post differently I did. You have your screen standby/power options defined on too short a time. You can also disable the requirement for a password during the recovery.

    Right-click on an empty area of the desktop and click on personalize. To customize the applet opens. Click the screen saver. Change the timeout to something reasonable like 10 or 20 minutes. You will see where you can clear the check box next to the "password required on curriculum vitae... ».

    Now do the same in the (Control Panel) Power Options applet. This link contains pictures showing you how to disable this option:

    I'm surprised that nobody knows how to set the Num Lock at startup before you connect.  Where is the help of HP?

  • "The drive where windows is installed is locked. Unlock the drive, and then try again. »

    Have a laptop Envy M6-K010DX. Due to a problem of the internet while improving to win 8 to 8.1, the PC does not start correctly, and Windows Explorer will not load. Has decided to "Refresh" of the operating system and is gone to F11 restore utilities. When I go to the utility of refreshment and follow the prompts that I reach a message that says, 'the drive where windows is installed is locked. Unlock the drive, and then try again. "I was looking for support for the unlocking instructions and apart from some commands bootrec (which did not work - probably because I don't have a Win 8 disc) not much is available.

    The only access I have for execution of orders made by the tasks Manager command-line and F11. What is this 'locked' drive, anyway? Someone at - it any information on that?

    Hello Lara.

    IF you have updated from 8 to 8.1 and the process was interrupted during installation, this may damage the disc and therefore locked error. "Refreshing" the system would not be the answer that you need to clean install Windows 8 again. 8.1 update can break the bond of the recovery partition, especially if it has become corrupted as indicated.

    You must clean up the installation with the recovery discs, you must have created before you updated to 8.1.

    In addition, if you do not have the recovery disks, you can buy a set of HP or install a regular copy of Windows 8 and then update the drivers manually. HP has the Windows key now integrated into the bios.

    This forum is used on a voluntary basis and is not maintained by the HP Support for substitution of contact.

    Your message looks like not it was even 24 hours old before you decided to delete it from the original computer?

    I'm sorry to hear you had to do this.

    If you need to HP support, you must contact them directly to your country or region.

    Contact HP-Assist phone USA | HP® official site

    Contact HP worldwide | HP® official site

    Good luck with the new computer.

    Any brand or model you purchased now, don't forget to create the recovery disks/drive.

  • How to disable the automatic locking of the screen of the computer with windows XP

    How to disable the automatic locking of the screen of the computer with windows XP? so many people responded on windows 7, but NOT a SINGLE spoke of XP.  I have this problem.  screen goes into sleep mode and I have to wake up even if NO PASSWORD is selected.  I changed the POWER SETTINGS. Nothing helps.  NEED HELP. Thank you

    Well since it is already assigned, and a mod has not moved this somehow already in the XP section:

    On your desktop, right-click right properties, under the screen saver are of course "on Resume, display logon screen" is NOT checked. You can also disable screen saver.

  • How and when the computer turns off automatically?

    Listen to internet radio, Sys Pref > saving energy on the default setting, wake up and radio program cut.

    This is great... .buth how and when the computer turns off?  When I reopen it wifi comes back, I'm correct when she stops she also turns off wifi?

    Hello allan299,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    According to your post, I see that you have any questions on how and when your computer shuts down, and how the WiFi on your Mac is affected. I know it's nice to be able to properly manage what happens when your computer stops and starts in mode 'sleep'. I'm happy to help you find the best resolution.

    You're right, when your computer stops completely it will turn the Wi - Fi. If you enable the wake for network access, Wi - Fi remains lit, and you can access shared resources on your computer, such as printers or iTunes shared playlists even when your computer is in "sleep". Definition of a calendar closing and start on your Mac can also be useful.

    Check out the following resources that will help the set options that control the energy use of your computer, sleep, and wake-up times for your Mac and the calendar from your Mac to turn on or turn off or go to sleep:

    OS X Yosemite: energy saver Preferences

    OS X Yosemite: set sleep and wake up on time for your Mac

    OS X Yosemite: A schedule for your Mac to turn on or turn off or go to sleep
