• How to open each file version of CS in its own version of the program when double-clicked?

  Hi all

  It is on the coexistence of Indesign CS4 and CS5.

  In my business: I work with Indesign CS4, but a colleague test CS5 in real works to day to day, and every day I met CS5 files I have to correct, so I also installed CS5. Now, when I start it in the morning, and no program InDesign is open again, whenever I double-click an Indesign file, the system will open with CS5, no matter whether the file is CS4 or CS5. I find it quite annoying, of course. I want that each version of file to open immediately in its own version of the program. I think that what is happening to a lot of people, but I find the question in the forums and haven't found anything.

  Of course I use roundabouts as have my colleague write '_CS5' at the end of each file, put CS4 in my startup items (so that once the program is open, the question works on the other hand, and any file Indesign just opens in CS4 when double-clicked...).

  In addition, all Indesign files appear on the desktop in the form of files CS5

  I'd appreciate a lot of ideas on the subject, thanks!

• QUESTION OF THE WEEK... Expertise 101__File Type problem! (Xp SP3) _ question: when double clicking on a folder in the search engine database appears and no files appear.

  -problem happens after messing around with 'file types' in 'options folders' BUT the records may not configured properly to correct the open method by setting the 'file type' back to 'open' in the file types.

  QUESTION OF THE WEEK... Expertise 101

  History...

  I saw a tutorial online on how to change the icons of any file (text, folder, programs)
  In addition to the normal way to do it:

  The normal route was right - click folder, text, program or folder etc-> choose Properties > then choose Change icon

  The new way that I learned how to do that was - go to folder options in the control panel > choose the 'file types' tab > find folder icon, click on it > choose Advanced Options > then choose Change icon.

  The reason for me wanting to do other then the normal way is because I would like to point out that all RECORDS USE DIFFERENT TYPE of ICON RATHER THEN DEFAULT UGLY OF THAT folder BROWN ICON that windows XP USES

  the problem starts here... to (go into folder options in Control Panel > choose the 'file types' tab > find folder icon, click on it > choose Advanced Options > then choose Change icon.)

  Note that these are two icon files: the 'Change icon' button is available and highlighted on a launched the Advanced button, but not on the other...

  After messing around with New both of these icons of specific folder "Advanced settings" after closing and the application of the setting.

  What is happening now, it is that each folder I usually double-click thanks to my system all what happens is that the search method appears average while displaying no other files in the folder it self.

  I'm expieranced and you wrote the parameters passed to each "type of file"setting"for this purpose he adjusting back to the past and yet nothing happens...

  THE QUESTION IS >
  How to fix something like that

  &

  How do you get each folder in your system to view another icon rather than UGLY, LOW DOWN DIRTY DUNG COLORFUL FOLDER ICON DEFAULT.

• When I click on 'File' and then 'new' it keeps open a new file as a layer and not a background. The RGB mode is selected.

  When I click on 'File' and then 'new' it keeps open a new file as a layer and not a background. The RGB mode is selected.

  With the new files to open as a layer and not a background, I'm not able to create multiple layers and it won't let me convert the background layer.

  How what happened. I've used PS yesterday and had no problem. Today, my computer did updates mandatory day and now this.

  Yes. You use the option of Pixel of the Ellipse tool. He's so setting pixels as it is supposed to do without creating a layer.

  Choose the option to the form:

  

  Also the menu layer > new layer creates layers and paper rolled up at the bottom of your layers palette also creates a new layer. I hope these work.

• I downloaded the Microsoft compatibility pack. He asks me to double click the File Format Converter.exe file on my hard disk to start the Setup program.

  Original title: could not open the file.

  I received by e-mail a file which I can not open... so I downloaded the Microsoft compatibility pack. He asks me to double click the File Format Converter.exe file on my hard disk to start the Setup program.  I'm not savvy and don't know where to find it!  Your help will be admired.  BF

  Hello, I downloaded myself today and when I read your question, I went looking for him.

  The only place where I found it was prefetch.

  However, I was able to view the file after downloading.

  When I download I always save it to the desktop, then the scanner and then double-click it to install. If you haven't noticed where it was installed, check your temp folder.

  Or download it again and save it to the desktop.

  I hope this helps.

• Double-click a file, go to a specific URL

  A file given (for example, an attachment or an element in a window of the Explorer) with a particular extension (which contains data in a format for my own application) I want to double click on it to open a specific URL (www.clevergrids.net23.net) and pass the file (or its content) at this URL, then different methods, it offers execution of the application (for example the launch JNLP, applet).

  I understand how to associate a browser with an extension, but do not want the browser itself to simply open the file; It would obviously not be my application. It is also unsatisfactory pass the file (path) more directly to the application via an execution of orders (.bat).

  You try to program (in a way) and which is beyond the scope of the above Windows forums.  We are not programmers (and if by chance it is actually a programmer or two here, this kind of questions is not addressed).  I don't know if this forum will help (but I think it's the right one), but I would at least begin by the scripts Forum:http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/ITCG/threads when experts in the scripts will be more that happy to help or, if what you want to do, it's not what they cover, I think they'll have a better idea of the correct forum where you can post.

  Good luck!

• Double click on file as parameter inpurt to vbscript

  I want to open MP3 files with mpg123.exe silently when a .mp3 file double click in Windows Explorer. To do this, I wrote a VBScript like below and changed the default program for reading of .mp3 files by assigning my vbscript via Open with-> choose default program.

• When I click on the + to open a new window I don't like the images that arise. I tried to change that in all: config; Browser.newtab.URL, but it will not

  When I click on the + to open a new window I don't like the images that arise. I tried several times to change that through words: config; Browser.newtab.URL. I put in the site I want and it won't change. I tried to put in: blank and it don't work. I'm obviously something wrong - can you help please?

  Thank you

  If Firefox is ignorant preference browser.newtab.url, the usual culprit is an extension.

  You can open the page in Firefox Add-ons using either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
  • in the Windows "Run" dialog box, type or paste
    firefox.exe "about:addons"

  In the left column, click Extensions. Then, in case of doubt, disable (or delete, if possible) not recognized and unwanted extensions. Do not forget that all extensions are optional, none come with Firefox, and you can learn more about them by checking their reviews on the site of the Add - ons.

  Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

  Any improvement?

• When you click on a tab open, how to do the update automatically in the body of the page?

  When you click on a tab open, how to do the update automatically in the body of the page?

  Right clicking on a tab open and using the arrow keys now now moves through open tabs. I liked the old versions where just after having clicked on a tab you can directly go to the page with the arrow keys to navigate.
  Y at - it something that I can change the subject: config to change this behavior?
  Thanks in advance.

  Firefox has yet to set the focus in the area of browser if you click on a tab.
  
  Only with very old browser versions you could set the focus to a tab by clicking a tab.

  This problem is probably caused by an extension.

  Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

  • Do NOT click on the reset button on the start safe mode window or make changes.
