Restore all programs to their default values

All my programs are open with the default vlc player and I do not get a "choose default program option" when I right click on it.

I already uninstalled vlc player. Also, all the icons in my toolbar display the icon of the player vlc. It becomes really hard to navigate among these icons. What should I do to restore all programs to open with their default values? Help, please.

  • Is there an easy way to restore all panels to their original state?

    I have been using Adobe Classroom in a Book and have re-wired some panels the wrong way.  This means that they are not more like the book.  Is a shortcut or another method to restore the State of out-of-the-box?

    You can restore the preferences of Muse to its original state by disabling them. So get out of Muse and delete the folder AdobeMuse to the following location:

    Mac OS: ~/Library/Preferences

    Windows XP: %APPDATA%\protector.exe

    Windows 7: %APPDATA%\protector.exe

    Now when you restart the application, all preferences must be restored to its original state.

  • How to restore all the default permissions in windows 7 (64-bit)

    Hello

    Think I have corrupted some of my programs and rights of security/authorization file eg windows start menu, shortcuts, program (x 86) etc.

    Another example, I continue to set the permissions of windows install to allow the administrator and they often get removed after a reboot...

    Is there a way to reset all the settings of player, program and the application to their default values and keep it like that?

    Or is it I click with the right button on the C drive and select security, change permissions and check all the boxes?

    You realize even * as * an admininstrator - in Windows 7, you're not REALLY complete administrator without disabling UAC (which is not my market to follow recommended action for most people.)

    You say, 'another example' - but I'm not sure that you have provided one. Heh

  • How to stop to reset to the default values of the tools?

    All tools sometimes reset to their default settings of Photoshop, whenever I start. Sometimes only some of them went back to zero, so that others don't. Now that the tools are the settings I left with. For example, I write this, I started Photoshop, and while the lasso tool is still in the polygonal mode, that I let him, the Healing Brush tool has to get back to the task Checker tool.

    Although it is a PC machine I have, I get to a place that has Mac and Mac I work on here ALWAYS resets ALL tools to their default settings.

    WTF?

    We have discovered a bug with the splash screen which would make sure all the tools in the toolbar to restore the default position with the exception of the actively selected. So, in your example, I guess that the reason why the Lasso tool remained as the polygon option was because it was the active tool.

    The suggestion to disable the splash screen should have prevented these things from happening more.

    We have also published an update of Photoshop that has addressed this bug.

    However, if none of these solutions helped in your case, then we are dealing with something else here. The current state of your tools is the result of a combination of your app (Preferences) settings and your workspaces. It may be a good idea to completely erase both of these stars and recreate them as each may be contaminated by the wrong information which translates the behavior, you see. As a way to check whether or not this is the case, you can create a new user account on your computer, connect to it and test the behavior (of course, you want to make sure that Photoshop is perfectly up-to-date before).

  • The default values of punctuation Lexer and endjoins

    I use Oracle Text 11.2.0.2.0. I have a CTXCAT index with prefix.

    I am the lexer as creation
    ctx_ddl.create_preference ("MY_LEXER", "BASIC_LEXER");
    ctx_ddl.set_attribute ('MY_LEXER', ' PRINTJOINS', ' ',.-"() / ^ &" ');
    in my ctxcat index.

    However if the period is the end of a word I can't do to precede the search inside.
    Select * from mytab where catsearch
    (SRCH_NM, "b.b. *", ") > 0

    Is dot (.) punctuation or endjoins considered.

    How can I know what is is the default values used for punctuation signs, endjoins? and how can I can so that the punctuation is empty?

    Thank you.
    Have a good holiday.

    As you can imagine, the period is punctuation by default. You can view the attributes for the basic_lexer, followed by their default values here:

    http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E11882_01/text.112/e24436/cdatadic.htm#CIHHBAAD

    So, if you reset the attributes for punctuation for your lexer to just the question mark and exclamation point, then it works as you want, as shown below. You can see the tokens that are created as a result of indexing by selecting Dr.$ symbolic column of the Dr.$ your_index_name$ I index of area table. Keep in mind that, if you are looking for any word which is the last word in a sentence, followed by a period, you will now have to include this period, or a wildcard character in your search.

  • change the default values of a secondary vi

    I want to initialize multiple devices connected via gpib using several secondary school (one for each device). Each type of device (temperature monitor, meter) has its own sub - VI (or better a vi model) for the configuration. The Subvi takes an address gpib only as a parameter. The vi is loaded in the secondary, the user is able to change the configuration via the controls on the front panel. Then he pulls the "init" button and the vi is executed (which writes the data to the front of the device).

    Currently, these config vi charge their default values for the file vi itself (current brand of default values). Is it possible to change this default value before running the Subvi, without losing flexibility?


  • Updated lines and default values.

    This is my last thread for a while. My final problem with my apex application is related to the update of lines.

    I have a tabular presentation to display several rows for a table and want to add a hidden 'updated_by' and 'last_updated' column. I put their default values such as user name and sysdate that work well for new records, but how each line to add these to existing records?

    I use 4.02 on 11g.

    Hi Craig,.

    Have you considered using a trigger on the table instead of setting these values from the app? A few advantages are: less logical in the app, especially if these inserts/changes can come from several pages, and once the trigger is implemented it will define values independently from changes and insertions (your form, another form, a non-ApEx client app, etc.).

    CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER biu_mytable
       BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE
       ON mytable    REFERENCING NEW AS new OLD AS old
       FOR EACH ROW
    BEGIN
       :new.updated_by := NVL(v('APP_USER'), USER);
       :new.last_updated := SYSDATE;
    END biu_mytable;
    

    Any insert or update triggers the shutter, define two columns. The NVL call handles the case when a customer non-ApEx brings the insert or update. If APP_USER has a value (ApEx logged-in user), the trigger uses it; Otherwise, it uses the database user ID.

    Hope this helps,
    John

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
    Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
    older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
    get new manually if you wish.
