  4. even more frustrating is that I happen to know that XBOX LIVE account cannot NOT BE FARM!

  5 because of this, my Hotmail account is bundle with her, I can not so close my Hotmail account...
  6.. .and all of this because of "Games for Windows" (which suppose to be for PC!) requires an XBOX LIVE account (that I don't even own a XBOX 360 console!)...

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
  3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
  4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
  5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

  You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

  Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

  -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
  -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
  -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
  -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
  -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
  -Click OK.
  -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
  -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

  If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to do a thorough check and removal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect the cause.

  No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy to detect malicious software is often accompanied by a much harder to detect and remove the payload. So its best to be now too thorough than paying the high price later. Check with them to an extreme exaggeration, and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

  How do I close the browser that started a Session of forms [865745.1 ID]
  ________________________________________
  Updated August 11, 2009 Type HOWTO PUBLISHED status
  In this Document
  Goal
  Solution
  Directions for use:
  Manual steps required for FireFox:
  References
  ________________________________________
  Applies to:
  Oracle Forms - Version: 10.1.2.2.0 to 11.1
  Information in this document applies to any platform.
  Goal
  This document will describe how to close the browser window (without confirmation of the user) who was responsible for starting a session of forms.
  IMPORTANT:
  The sample program in this article is provided for educational purposes only and is NOT supported by Oracle Support Services. It has been tested internally, however and works as described. We do not guarantee it will work for you, so be sure to test it in your environment before relying on it.
  The code in this document uses Java Scripting to achieve his goal. If the client computer does not have Java script active or is blocked, this code will not work correctly. In addition, although this document was written as it applies to Oracle Forms, the functionality of the browser and how Java Script responds that it contains, is not related to the product forms. If, for some reason this code does not work for you, the problem is probably the result of changes (for example, updates) made by the supplier of the browser, or a client configuration that prevents the correct execution of the Java Script code. These problems are not related to the Oracle product and you should refer to the manuals of browser or Java script repository to debug the problem.
  This code has been successfully tested with Oracle Forms 10.1.2.3 using Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 3.0. Be aware that FF3 is not currently certified for use with Forms 10.1.2.3 or more. Other versions may or may not work for the aforementioned reasons.
  Solution
  Directions for use:
  1. using an html editor or text, create a file html with the following code:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  Your browser or system settings prevented this window to close.

  
  

  To ensure the highest level of security,

  
  

  Please close/quit immediately this browser session.

  
  
  

  2. save the html with the following name: close.htm
  3 store this file on the middle tier in a directory that has an associated virtual path configured on the HTTP server. You can use an existing path or create a new. For example, in the version 10.1.2 you can copy the html file to this directory:
  ORACLE_HOME\tools\web\html
  Practically, the above corresponds to the following by default:
  genres/html /.
  For more information about creating a virtual path to the HTTP server, refer to the HTTP Server Administrator's Guide.
  4. in the Forms application, choose the desired relaxation, where you want to run the browser is closed. Don't forget that by executing this code, the application will be suddenly terminated, therefore, it is recommended that the following code only appear in the trigger of FORM post forms.
  Web.show_document ('/ forms/html/close.htm','_self');
  5. compile and run the form.
  Out of the form, the browser calls close.htm, resulting in the closing of the browser.
  This has been tested successfully using IE7 on XP - SP3. While this code works with other browsers, for example, FireFox 3, a change of configuration in FF are needed to make it work properly.
  Manual steps required for FireFox:
  1. open an instance of the FireFox browser.
  2. in the address bar, enter the following command and press enter on the keyboard:
  Subject: config
  3. in the list presented, locate the following setting:
  DOM.allow_scripts_to_close_windows
  4. double-click on this setting to set its value to TRUE
  5. exit the browser

  Hi osenochen, some additions to the first response:

  • You can display the classic menu temporarily bar by pressing Alt or F10 to access the file menu
  • There is also an icon of 'power' at the bottom of the graphic application menu (the one which is displayed by the button "3-bar" menu) If you prefer

• How can I open the downloads window only? Or how can I close my browser and open the winodw downloads without an active download?

  I have about a year of downloads to sift through and organize. It means I have many open files that I move the files to the appropriate locations. The last thing I need is to have unnecessarily the browser open between all this mess.

  So... can I close my window of Firefox browser without the automatic reclosing also downloads window? Or better yet, is it possible to just open the downloads window and not the browser window?

  Again, I want to ONLY THE DOWNLOADS WINDOW open, not the browser window. I see that others have asked similar questions, but no one has ever proposed a solution.

  Avoid using the file > exit or the red X button. On the contrary: press Ctrl + j to display the downloads window, and then use Ctrl + w to close the last remaining tabs. The downloads window should remain open. A little luck?
