Our application runs on oracle 10g. When we want to print a report after filling the oracle form fields we do the following process:
1. save the file (when it is saved it opens in a new tab)
2. hit control+p (print preview is shown)
3. hit enter (command goes to printer)
Now we want to directly send command to the printer so that the print preview is not shown at all.
You can accomplish this by using the ORARRP utility. Unfortunately, you must have access to Oracle Support to view this support document.
Note that the bottom of the support document specifies a change to orarrp.ini to prevent the print preview from showing.

I am using zenity to make encrypting files easy for someone who dislikes using the terminal. So far so good. When user right clicks on file and selects encrypt option zenity presents user with list of keys on their keyring available for encrypting file with (gpg -k). But if owner trust or validity has not been set by the user for a particular key that is selected, then the user is prompted with a terminal window to confirm proceeding to encrypt with the selected key, or not. Is there a way to pop a zenity dialogue to present the user with such a confirmation request instead?
I realize yes/no dialogue boxes are available in zenity, but from what I have found so far it seems more applicable for instances in which a script requires a user to select yes or no in order to proceed with a script. But in this case, gpg initiates the prompt and only does so for some but not all keys selected.
I am researching ways to auto login to a windows server, so applications can be restarted on reboot if the server crashes. Do windows services load before or after a user logs in? Can a windows service be used to login to an account?
If not, is there any way to use some sort of login script to facilitate automatically loggin in?
For auto login. Here is one of them:
To use Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe) to turn on automatic logon, follow these steps:
Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type Regedt32.exe, and then press ENTER.
Locate the following subkey in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Double-click the DefaultUserName entry, type your user name, and then click OK.
Double-click the DefaultPassword entry, type your password, and then click OK.NOTE: If the DefaultPassword value does not exist, it must be added. To add the value, follow these steps:
On the Edit menu, click New, and then point to String Value.
Type DefaultPassword, and then press ENTER.
Double-click DefaultPassword.
In the Edit String dialog, type your password and then click OK.
NOTE: If no DefaultPassword string is specified, Windows automatically changes the value of the AutoAdminLogon key from 1 (true) to 0 (false), disabling the AutoAdminLogon feature.
On the Edit menu, click New, and then point to String Value.
Type AutoAdminLogon, and then press ENTER.
Double-click AutoAdminLogon.
In the Edit String dialog box, type 1 and then click OK.
Quit Registry Editor.
Click Start, click Shutdown, and then type a reason in the Comment text box.
Click OK to turn off your computer.
Restart your computer. You can now log on automatically.

Services run regardless of whether a user logs on. If you need an application to run all the time, have you considered converting it to a service? Auto-logon is a security risk.
Windows Services do load before user logins. A Windows service cannot be used to login to an account, but you can specify the account to run the service under. You can setup automatic login in the registry under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon. AutoAdminLogon, DefaultUserName, DefaultPassword, DefaultDomainName, and ForceAutoLogon are the keys you will need to set. They are all strings.
P.S. This is more a Server Fault \ Super User question.
Services start before login.
And rather than using a service to log into an account, why not just set the account to auto log in?

*edit*Beaten to it*
I have tested it on:
WIN10 updated Jan-2016
WIN7 updated Jan-2016
And it works!
I use this .REG file:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"AutoAdminLogon"="1"
"DefaultDomainName"="DOMAINNAME"
"DefaultUserName"="USERNAME"
"DefaultPassword"="PASSWORD"

Maybe systinternals/autologon.exe should be mentioned here.
It has a very simple gui and can also be used by command line only.
I guess it does the registry entry in the background.
I am creating a login usercontrol. I have added the following buttons: Recover Password, Change Password & Edit Profile.
I am using DevExpress's ASPxPopupControl to host the functions associated with those three buttons.
There are two problems
When the popup is opened I need to be able to close/hide it using a command button
When a user starts using one of the login controls and chooses to close the dialog the next time the dialog is opened it does not start at the beginning.
(e.g. Start the change password dialog, enter some information, close the popup; the information you started with is not cleared)
Any ideas?
Here is a link to help you with closing the popup on a keypress. You can use the Escape key as in this example or code your own.

For resetting the values, it appears this is manual.

I am trying to silently apply very specific appearance settings for a single user with poor eyesight on an XP machine.
I can alter the settings by using the appearance tab of the display settings dialog and clicking apply/ok. Doing this works however the user cannot see well enough to change her settings back to how she likes them each time she logs on.
Just changing the registry keys does not make the desired changes until the user logs off and then on again. For reasons that would take too long to explain, I cannot simply get the user to log off and then on again. I need the settings to be applied immediately upon login.
So! I either need to force windows to apply the display settings, a process which seems to be associated with the 'Please Wait' dialog, screenshot included OR I need to programmatically change the appearance settings individually (which includes altering 'Advanced' font-size settings).
Many thanks.
Please Wait Example http://www.dur.ac.uk/alexander.holmes2/b/pleasewait.jpg
Does this user have his/her own windows User? (his/her own account on XP). It should keep settings for you if you have them as a separate user from whoever else likes the larger DPI. Just create a user.
