I can't change the default browser on iMac.

I am running Yosemite on my iMac.  I want to change it the default browser to Chrome, Safari, but in preferences, no navigation software is displayed.

I don't know how Chrome has set as the default, but it's a pain to wait for it to load when I click on a url (by mail, for example).

Although the problem is not the same, please follow the instructions in this article to support to reset the launch Services database.

Instead type the command as shown in the article, I suggest that you copy and paste the web page in the Terminal window. Make sure you only select the whole line before copying. One way to do that is to triple - click anywhere in the line.

If you do not already have a current backup, back up all data before proceeding. You should perhaps log out or restart to see a change.

    I posted a style rule to shrink the tiles, which allows several of them on the page, but naturally reduces their legibility. You can experiment with the dimensions to find a look that works for you.

    I use the Stylish extension to experiment because of its preview function that allows me to see the effect quickly. You can install it from the site of modules, then after restart of Firefox while searching for his "S" icon in the toolbar to manage Styles so you can edit and experiment.

  • How can I change the default actions of what made the PC when I connect a camera, USB key, etc.?

    How can I change the default actions of what made the PC when I connect a camera, USB key, etc.. My Samsung intensity II is what I need it for; I want to shoot to the top of this window asking me what to do when I plug in, but one day, I was not thought and press on 'No Action' with the "always perform this action for this device" (or said something like that) checkbox checked.

    Once it is connected, go to my computer, and your camera photo or anything else that should be there.  If is isn't, it is a completely different issue.  It's done, right-click on it and select Properties.  Click the AutoPlay tab.  There is a version of dialogue enough of this "window asking me what to do."  You can figure out what to do from there.

  • How can I change the default topics listed in Windows Explorer?

    When I look at the files in Windows Explorer there are positions that I find little use for me. I would like to change the default headings listed to display only those that I use most often as update, size, Type and Date of creation. How can I change the default settings for securities so that these topics, such as tags and side are not displayed?

    To change the headers, right-click on the header bar, and click more.  You will see a list of options to be included in the header, and you can place about to adapt to your desires.  But they will not stick unless you modify the template for this type of file.  Procedures for this follow-up.

    Here's how to change the default template for a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/70819-windows-explorer-folder-view-settings.html.  Default behavior is to select the model based on the first type of file placed in the folder (you must choose something).  Vista sets the folder type template according to what are the types of files in the window and the settings display window Explorer. This will show you how reset the display settings of Windows Explorer folder (which is what I think you want), disable Automatic folder Type discoveryand increase the view of the folder cache to have Vista don't forget not the display, model of file type settings, the size or the position of a window for when it was still closed to the location of specific path.

    It does not work with the Sub record under, Open with, open in a new tab (Internet Explorer), etc... dialog windows of type through the good File menu bar item. These don't seem to be able to have their size or their position to recall. For the latter, you can use the free program http://autosizer.en.softonic.com/ to resize them.

    Here is another article on how to modify the columns in Windows Explorer and sort in Vista: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/108665-column-customize.html.  This will show you how Add, Remove, move, change the widthand change the sort order of the columns in Windows Explorer in the way that you want.

    Here is another article on how to change the display of the default folders in Vista (but she argues, it is not a perfect solution and can revert to the previous behavior is not as good as the two prior links provided: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13880_3-10019957-68.html.)

    I hope this helps in your situation.

  • Can I change the default windows folder explore in the registry? No shortcuts fixed please.

    How can I change the default folder, windows Explorer opens in just to run and type "explorer". I know that I could type in extra stuff, for example "explorer.exe C:\somedir\stuff\" but I prefer to be able to put it permanently in the registry so that when I type explorer.exe (no extra stuff) it should open where I want. Is this possible? What registry entry be? I do not use desktop shortcuts or shortcuts, start changing them, that's not what I'm looking for.

    If it was going to be everywhere, so it would probably be somewhere in this multi key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer branches, but that the use of parameters on the end of the "shortcut" probably is used to send instructions from command line directly on the .exe, it is more likely it is that stored anything in the registry?

    Many setup programs accept command line parameters yet Windows will have no knowledge of these programs, so that they are installed it is why I think that it would be futile in the search for a registry location?  I could be completely wrong of course and bow to the superior knowledge.

    You could use an article like this one to make some changes and use the following (RegShot) program to see what has changed in the registry, if anything.

    If you want to really dive in and get dirty, you could take a snapshot of your registry before you make the change and the other afterwards and see if you can pick up any changes.  This little freeware program can help you achieve this goal.
