Setting the default path in windows 7
I use VMware Player 3 in a box of Windows 7.
I need to set a default path for my virtual machines.
With Windows XP, I used to edit the %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\VMware\preferences.ini file and insert a line that looks like defaultVMPath = "C:\work\vm".
In Windows 7, I found a file whose name is C:\users\ < username > \AppData\Roaming\VMware\preferences.ini but I can't find the exact syntax for the string, I have to add.
Is this the right file to edit?
Can someone please provide ther good syntax of the string to add?
Can I change the registry instead?
Concerning
Marius
The line that I have in my file is...
prefvmx.defaultVMPath = "C:\VMs".

Setting the default size of the popup window
I need a way to set the default size of the popup window on a specific area or all areas (whichever is easier). There is a particular site that pulls up a PDF in a pop-up window, and always default to a small window, but I need full screen. Apart from the obvious 'simply click on the button full screen every time ", can someone offer me some suggestions? If it were me, I'd just hit the button fullscreen, but I'm trying to set it up for some end-users rather capricious. The device in question (if important) is a Tablet from Dell XPS 18, and the version of Firefox is 24.0, just installed about twenty minutes ago. Forums for research, the only thing I found remotely close to what I'm looking for is to force the popup to allow resizing; This isn't what I need; the pop-up window already allows resizing. I need a way to automatically open it full screen. Thanks in advance for your help.

Cannot set the default mail Client
All,
I have Office for Mac 2016 installed on my Mac Mini. When I go in the Mail from Mac client to set the default value for Outlook he selects fine, but then when I exit the application and go back inside, he returned back to Mac Mail?
Assistance to get this resolved would be greatly appreciated!
I'm under El Capitan 10.11.2 - the latest updates everything up ;-)
Although the problem is not the same, please follow the instructions in this article to support to reset the launch Services database. Instead of typing the shell command in the article, I suggest that you copy and paste the web page in the Terminal window. Make sure you only select the entire line. One way to do that is 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 can set up my laptop with an additional monitor as extended desktop. By going to the followed control panel display I can manually fix the default setting for the two monitors side by side, to have one on the other.
However, every morning when I do my laptop in to work and reconnect to the extra monitor I have to redo it. Is there a way to set the default display settings so that it affects automatically two monitors as one above the other?
Using Windows XP Pro. Help appreciated.
Hi Andrew_Wright,
Windows XP does not record the settings once you unplug the extra monitor.
You can use some third party such as the software provided with the video driver software.
Use your favorite search engine to find all these software for you help.
Important: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

Hi @darshan9 ,
I see that you have problems affecting the default printer for users and you cannot print over the network.
I'd love to help you.Do you mean the configuration of individual computers with the printer on the network users, or a computer with multiple users?
You have administrative rights on the computer to make changes?
What is the name and the product number of your printer? How can I find my model number or product number?
Download and run the Print and Scan doctor. It will diagnose the problem and could solve it automatically. http://www.hp.com/go/tools > using HP diagnostic tools for printers under Windows HP.
I suggest you to check if you have another account user or an administrative account.
I also suggest to create a new user account and check if you are able to set the default printer.
Create a user account. Create a user account.
If you're still having problems, run the Fixit tool. Diagnose and automatically fix problems printing and printer.
What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (she print or scan, error messages)
If there is anything else I can help you, let me know.

How can I change the locations of Windows Update to the default settings of Windows?
Windows backup does not complete successfully, and I get the message "the system cannot find the specified file (0 x 80070002). Windows error procedures have not found the answer. Solving the problems of files MS Fixit found that where Windows Update stores data has changed and that it should be repaired by changing places of WU to the default settings of Windows. Please can someone explain how to do this?
Hi Derek,.
Thanks to join Microsoft Community where you will find all necessary information about the Windows operating systems.
You cannot perform backup and get error the system cannot find the specified file (0 x 80070002).
The problem may occur if there is some disk errors hard or due to the interruption by third-party programs.
What fixit have you tried?
To check if the problem is due to hard drive errors or due to the interruption by third-party programs, I suggest you follow the steps:
After each step, if the problem persists, go to the other.
Method 1: Check the hard disk for errors
See the site:
Check your hard drive for errors
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows-Vista/check-your-hard-disk-for-errors
Note: When checking a disk for errors, if bad sectors si des secteurs defectueux sont are found then the system tries to repair sector. All data may be lost. So make a backup of the data.
Method 2: Clean boot
When the computer starts to boot, programs non-Microsoft will not be started and would avoid any interruption of their share.
See the mentioned site:
How to perform a clean boot for a problem in Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
Note: once you are done with the boot, follow step 3 of section to set your computer to normal startup.
Note: If in case, you are connected via a connection wireless, and then when you start the System Configuration utility to perform the clean boot, click Startup and Services tab one time and check wireless see corresponding section are checked (enabled).
I hope this helps. If the problem persists, or if you have problems of Windows in the future, let us know and we would be happy to help you.

Setting the default paragraph unique space and NO space between paragraphs
I tried to set the default value for MS Office 2007 VISTA to SPACE SIMPLE and checked the box where it says "don't add space between paragraphs of the same style".
