I use firefox for my web development and I bet most of you guys too. I've been doing a lot of form development recently and this annoying message
"To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier."
is just beginning to piss me off.. I mean, come on! I don't need protection on my localhost, thank you! So, my question is: are you aware of any config, hack, plugin to suppress it? If not, how do you live with it?
Apparently there is neither configuration option nor extension to turn off this annoying confirmation window.
However, the workaround I use is as follows.
Download and install application AutoHotkey from: http://www.autohotkey.com/
Create the following script:
^f5::
Send {f5}
sleep 100
Send {enter}
Save with .ahk extension.
Double click to run it (a new icon should show up in the system tray).
Now every time you press Ctrl+F5, the script presses F5 and then Enter. Voila, the confirmation window supressed.
Here's an equivalent of Patrick's answer for Linux users (Ubuntu in my case).
Install autokey (it's in the repos). Add this python script:
import time
keyboard.send_keys("<f5>")
time.sleep(0.5)
keyboard.send_keys("<enter>")
Hook this script to f5 and you will never see the confirm message again. Tested with latest firefox.

I would like to open 20 different Facebook Group Pages with Chrome (I Do Not EVER Use Safari) with a "batch" file. I know that's a 'Windows' term but that's all I know...
Here's What I Do Now:
Once the Chrome Browser is up, I can open them one at a time from 'Notes' with all the links in one file and then clicking on one link, then click back to notes and click on the next link...
I'd like to save a lot of Daily labor by creating a desktop file I can click on to open them all at once...
I have 41 different groups I use but on my system Chrome can open 20 at a time without a lot of 'WAIT' Time...
I'm REALLY IGNORANT! All the Experience I have is DOS 3.1, from the 1980s-90s I hope one of You WIZARDS can help me with this problem...
Note: I Tried to post what I know how to do but the system won't allow me to put it in since it's now BAD Code(Example I know...Start “facebook-1” www.facebook.com/The Holy Bible).
Thanx HEAPS!
Welcome to Stackoverflow!
I would say the most user-friendly way to achieve this is using Apples build in Automator App.
Here is what I did:
Create a new Automator Program.
I added a "Get Specified URLs" block. Here you can add all the websites you want to open up.
Then I added a "Run Shell Script" block that contains the code to open up Chrome for every url you entered above. Just make sure to pick "As Argument" in the top right of the block.
Once saved all your websites should open up at once.
My system language is set to german but you should be fine to follow along.
Well i have an adobe air which runs vlc-player at background as service. i check that in Windows Task Manager , the service runs when air application launches.
here is the code
processArgs.push("--extraintf");
processArgs.push("rc"); //Remote control
processArgs.push("--rc-fake-tty"); //Use terminal as output
processArgs.push("screen://");
processArgs.push(":screen-fps=15");
processArgs.push(":screen-caching=100");
processArgs.push(":sout=#transcode{venc=x264{bframes=0,nocabac,ref=1,nf,level=13,crf=24,partitions=none},vcodec=h264,fps=15,vb=3000,width=800,height=600,acodec=none}:duplicate{dst=std{mux=mp4,access=file,dst='"+targetFile.nativePath+"'}}");
startupInfo.arguments = processArgs;
p = new NativeProcess();
p.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.STANDARD_OUTPUT_DATA, onOutputData);
p.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.STANDARD_ERROR_DATA, onErrorData);
p.addEventListener(NativeProcessExitEvent.EXIT, onExit);
now i want to close vlc-player on the button click event and i have searched the vlc- documents and found quit command and its syntax, it does not work as i have tried that syntax from windows command prompt also..
Which are the vlc-player commands that can pause,stop and close vlc-player??
Any useful link will be much helpful to me..
I've had quite a look around and looks like this (--rc-fake-tty) can't be done from Windows command line. Which means your current approach is out.
I don't no anything about Adobe but I have done some searching around and this guy has something written in C using the libVLC. Not sure if that will help or point you in the right direction.
The other thing I found was this post Adobe Air and VLC player which mentions that you should be able to use javascript and ActiveX controls on Windows. A guy in this forum has a javascript script which uses an ActiveX control to start, stop, pause etc.
There is a VLC command that you can send to override or set certain hotkeys. Search for next, prev, stop, quit, vol-up, etc in this document.
That's the best of my Googling abilities, hope it helps.
I dont want to agree that your code runs well on windows, becasue --rc-fake-tty will not run on windows, to hide the entire vlc window (it will be listed among the processes in Windows Task Manager) use --rc-quiet but to see command window use --no-rc-quiet.
To stop and quit using p.standardInput.writeUTFBytes("stop" + "\n"); is not working for me as well.
How can I abort a Windows Installer using VB Script that when it choose a certain option, the installer will force end?
I am using Visual Studio 2010 Setup Project:
Here is the pseudocode for it:
MSGBOX "Do you want to continue installing?"
IF Press YES { Continue Installing }
If Press NO { Abort/Exit the installation process. }
End
I expect this final window to appear after I press NO:
It might help if you said something about what the incorrect option is. It might be something in a dialog (like TextBoxes) that you've added to the UI and you can't validate it because VS setups have no support for custom actions to run during the UI to validate entered data.
Either way, all custom actions in VS setups run after all the files are installed and the setup is virtually complete. In other words the only place to validate your data is after the install has finished when it's too late to stop the installation. All you can do is return an error from the VB Script and have the whole setup abort and roll back, and I don't think that's what you want.
If you really need this kind of functionality you need a tool that has support for it, somewhere in the dozens of tools that can create MSI files.
In a more functional tool I don't think you'd use a dialog choice like that. The dialog that offered the choice would have a custom action validate the data when the Next button is clicked. If the data is incorrect then the Next button stays disabled. If it is potentially incorrect a warning can appear on the dialog, but there is a Cancel-type button on every install dialog I've seen, so you don't need to abort anything - tell the user to cancel. But most dialogs have a back button to go back and change data too. In other words your UI flow isn't typical of most wizard-type flows in installs and therefore could be confusing.
For our intraNET we need to run application, when user clicks on link. Security is done another way (apache, firewall). This is only for users in our company. Operation system is WindowsXP+ (some Linux).
I tried link to script file (http://intranet.domain.com/run.bat):
Chrome
can't change mimetype
browser downloads it, and after doubleclick and warning it works with .bat
Opera
with mimetypes tunning, it works with .lnk file, immediatly after click
Firefox
with mimetypes tunning, it works with .lnk file, immediatly after click
Explorer
.bat file works after warning and click on 'Run'
Safari
.bat file works after warning and click on 'Run'
It works, but with warnings and clicking. Maybe there are some other solutions (i read here) using AIR2 plugin or NPAPI plugin, but i have no experiences.
I am looking for ready to use plugin written for this purpose (commercial too). Of course we can install any application/plugin on client computer. Plugin which i can render on webpage and configure to run some command with parameters on click event (command and parameters could change on every page load, can not be compiled in plugin).
I know, there are some questions on this topic, but.. i did not find good solution. Thank you for any help.
All those warnings are there for a reason! If you could run a batch file in this way without warning this would be a huge security risk.
The best way to get this to work would be to write a signed ActiveX control that users download to their PC, install (which would require that the user confirm that they wish to install the control) and then have the ActiveX control run the batch file. This would then allow the ActiveX control to run batch files without prompting the user, however is probably way more hassle than its worth for a one-off action.
I am currently working on a program to immediately clear the list of previously-run-commands which appears in the Windows Start -> Run dialog. The procedure for clearing this list by removing the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RunMRU key is well documented; however, before these changes take effect, it seems to be necessary to do one of the following:
Restart the computer
Select Start -> Shut down, and then select Cancel.
Neither of these is ideal for the task I am trying to accomplish: #1 is extremely disruptive to the user, and #2 appears to require additional user interaction.
Does anyone know how to immediately (and programmatically) force a reload of this information without requiring any user interaction, while also minimizing disruption of the user's other activities? I would like for the user's Run history to be cleared out immediately after executing my program, without requiring any further action on their part (such as using the "Shut Down" -> "Cancel" trick in #2 above) or forcing a reboot.
Or, to approach the problem from a different angle: When clicking Start -> Shut Down -> Cancel, Windows Explorer reloads the RunMUI key. Is there a way to force a similar reload without having the user select Shut Down and then Cancel?
Things I have already tried:
Monitoring the explorer.exe status using procmon while selecting Shutdown and then Cancel. I see Explorer writing to the RunMRU key, but have not been able to determine what triggers this.
Numerous Google searches along the lines of "reload runmru without reboot". Most results still recommend method #1 above, although a few suggest #2.
Limited MSDN API examination. The RegFlushKey call appears promising, but I haven't ever used it before, so I don't know if it will apply to registry information cached by different processes.
Any suggestions or other information would be greatly appreciated.
Have you tried ccleaner?

Not a full answer to your question, but I did find a third way to trigger the clearing of the run command from this article in PC Mag.
Killing explorer.exe and then restarting it will also clear the run list after the registry modification.
I have a nasty hack for you. Show the window programatically, hide it immediately (programatically) and click cancel on it (well, you guessed, programmatically).
You might try looking for the icon cache flush API, or other ones, I wouldn't be too suprised if they had side effects like the one you are looking for.
I've seen instances where it actually works, even the F5 key doesn't work? Try this, ctrl>alt>delete then go to task manager, processes tab...end explorer.exe. Then click on file new task and type explorer.exe, then check...does that work?
Windows XP
Right click on the taskbar
Properties menu option
Start Menu tab
Customize button
Programs pane
Clear List
Click on OK
This calls a Windows API function that refreshes the explorere.exe taskbar process and also clears the list (no need for registry edits).
As far as I know, it relies on the explorer.exe process that hosts the start menu/taskbar/desktop being closed and reopened. There is no "clean" way to do this that I am aware of.
If you really need to do this without user interaction, you need to close all explorer.exe processes and relaunch one.
Here's a rudimentary C# program to do that;
using System.Diagnostics;
Process[] procs = Process.GetProcessesByName("explorer");
foreach (Process proc in procs)
{
proc.Kill();
}
Process.Start("explorer.exe");
Note that this will close all "Windows Explorer" windows open, and may or may not open an additional "Windows Explorer" afterwards.
I just tested that on Windows XP 32bit, and it did indeed clear the Run command cache.
