How to remove TBS WMP plug-in? - windows-vista

How to remove TBS WMP plug-in? It seems like a malware installed on my computer. Thanks a lot!

Have you checked if this plugin has a uninstaller?
In the WMP Options dialog (Menu>Tools>Options) there should be a Plug-ins tab where some of the plugins can be turned off. If it is not listed there you can remove it from the registry, plugins are listed in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Plugins
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\UIPlugins
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Plugins
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\UIPlugins

Updated IntelliJ to 2016.2.3 on OSX - keybinding issues # symbol alt+3 now just displays 3

Previously on programmers.stackexchange.com but apparently off-topic for that forum.
I have found people complaining about the issue here: https://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2016/08/intellij-idea-2016-2-3-update-is-out/
I cannot ctrl+c or alt+3 so keybindings are messed.
Any ideas / temp fixes / resolutions before Jetbrains do a patch?
Workaround from JetBrains:
Masatoshi Iwasaki Kieran Simpson Please, specify this jdk as a boot jdk https://bintray.com/jetbrains/intellij-jdk/download_file?file_path=jbsdk8u112b325_osx_x64.tar.gz
Download the archive
Unpack it
Run "Switch IDE boot JDK" action
Select "..." in the checkbox
Specify the unpacked directory in the file chooser
Reboot

You can try using the Standard JDK 1.8_102 I then had the terminal working again, but fonts were ugly.
It is a general issue, I change my update channel to "Early Access Program"
I update to IntelliJ 2016.2.4 (is the last RC) and them I change my channel again, be careful and don't update to IntelliJ 2016.3 except you really want to.
You can do that going to the menu option "check updates" and click in the link updates in the middle of the text.
The close the popup and go to check updates again.
Remember change back your update channel.

Safari for Windows - disable certain plug-ins

I just can't find a way of doing this - in Safari for Windows (5.1.7) I would like to disable certain plug-ins, but I can only see how to disable them all (from Preferences/Security-> Enable Plugins) - can I not switch them on and off individually?
I have read about physically deleting files from a Safari folder within Windows Explorer but I'm not convinced about this (and there are no files in there that match what I am trying to disable anyway).
Thanks in advance.
The only way to get rid of individual plugins in Safari is to physically delete (or move them to another folder) from the C:\Program Files (x86)\Safari\Plugins folder.
If you say you've already checked and what you're looking for is not in that folder, are you it's a plugin and not an extension? You should be able to manage extensions individually in the preferences option within Safari.
If your plug-in doesn't appear in the folder, it shouldn't load anyways. If you can't find it there and it does load, I think your best option would be to uninstall and re-install Safari.
Sorry if this doesn't help.

How do you install Firebug if your computer is isolated from the internet?

I have noticed that Firebug and some other addons I have browsed require that Firefox be installed and running for them to be installed.
That's a little inconvenient, given that my development machine is not connected to the internet. Is there a way to download and install the addins using a flash drive?
To manually install a Firefox extension into Firefox, download the add-on to your computer. If the download option isn't available, right click on the extension install link and select "Save Link As..". Be sure not to change the file extension. A Firefox extension will usually be a .XPI file.
Next, go to the Firefox drop down menus at the top of the browser. Select File > Open File then select the addon.xpi file and click on Open. The Software Installation window will appear, click install, restart Firefox.
open any indexes of version u want,http://getfirebug.com/releases/firebug/1.6/
right click on any of the link and choose "save as"
There will be one ".xpi" file which l b downloaded locally to ur computer.
Copy tat .xpi file and paste it in ur computer/server where there is no internet connection.
In that PC/sever,open firefox-->go to tools -->add ons
Drag tat copied .xpi file into add ons window and click on install
restart firefox
ur work is done :)
some different way to solve this by using portable version of firefox, you can pack them with all what you need and save it in your flash drive.

Much easier than download any extension for each instance and install them.
You could trick the program into thinking that you're connected to the Internet

Tortoise SVN Icon Overlays Displaying Everywhere...Why?

Update: So, this turns out to have nothing to do with Tortoise SVN. I use Mozy.com for off-site backups and their new version includes these icon overlays. They can be disabled via the config options...or see here http://forum.pcmech.com/showthread.php?p=1385433. Thanks #OS for the answer.
Been using Tortoise SVN for some time on my Vista box. Within the last few days (and after recently upgrading to 1.5.4) the icon overlays are displaying on all files.
My exclude path is:
*
My include paths are:
C:\Users\jw\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\SVNProjects*
C:\Users\jw\Documents\VB Projects\SVNProjects*
I haven't touched those settings in months. Any ideas? Help. Thanks.
Something like that happened to me a few days ago and it turns out it's not related to Tortoise... I'm using Mozy to backup files automatically and their latest update includes icons very similar to Tortoise to mark backed-up files.
Icons usually appear for folders for files in a folder that have a hidden .svn subfolder. It sounds like your icon cache is corrupt though. You might also want to check the Icon Overlays section in the Settings dialog. If it's using the default icon cache, try killing the TSVNCache.exe process. If it's using the chell cache, kill explore.exe, in a cmd window go to %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local, type "attrib –h IconCache.db" and then "del IconCache.db" and re-start explorer.exe.
The icons can disappear because there is a limit to the number of overlays Windows will support.
See http://tortoisesvn.net/faq.html#ovlnotshowing
agree with marxidad,
you can also try to rebuild the tortoisesvn icon cache using
TortoiseProc.exe
/command:rebuildiconcache
from the command line.

How to change Firefox icon?

Is there any way to change Firefox system icon (the one on the left top of the window)?
Precision : I want to change the icon of a bundled version of Firefox with apache/php and my application. So manual operation on each computer is not a solution.
I try Resource Hacker and it's the good solution. The add ons one is good too.
Resource hacker does the job of swapping application icons in Windows (up to XP, not tested with Vista yet).

#phloopy's good suggestion to use http://iconpacks.mozdev.org/ unfortunately doesn't work with newer versions of Firefox (I think to the omni.jar change). You can still use their ICO files (or your own), but you now need to do the following manual steps...
Unzip omni.ja in your Firefox application directory.
Delete omni.ja or rename it (e.g. omni.ja.off).
Create directories icons/default in the Firefox chrome application directory.
Copy the icon file you want to chrome/icons/default/main-window.ico
Start Firefox and enjoy your new icon
Notes:
There are other ICO file names you can use for other windows. The ones I have personally seen work are:
main-window.ico for browser windows and Scratchpad
downloadManager.ico for Downloads
If you know others please comment so I can add them. I personally would love one for Firebug and the Error Console. One for Library (Bookmarks) would be nice also (bookmark-window.ico does not work).
Your start time will be a little slower (due to the unzipping of omni.ja). In theory you can jar it up again, but I am not 100% sure that will work once they get the omni.ja optimization working again (it's "broken" in Firefox 10 so omni.ja is actually normal JAR/ZIP file).
If you let Firefox update you will need to do this again
Note many zip tools cannot read Firefox’s variation on the JAR format (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=605524).
More info is available at http://iconpacks.mozdev.org/docs/faq.html
There are icon packs available at http://iconpacks.mozdev.org/ that work by installing an extension. If you want to use your own icon, extensions are just zipped files so change the extension from xpi to zip and examine the source code and images it contains to customize it. If you do customize it, I suggest changing the GUID that so it doesn't auto-update and overwrite your customizations.
I think you mean the system icon, not the site icon as someone else thought. On a Mac, you can hold-Click -> Get Info on Firefox.app, then drag or paste an image on top of the icon.
I'm not sure about Windows, but I think you may need to compile from source to change it.
If you're talking about the application icon (which under Windows is typically located in the top-left corner of the application's window), then... no... and yes.
Like most windows apps, the icon you see there is probably a resource compiled into the application itself, so you can't change it.
There may be add-ins to Firefox that let you do this, but I doubt it - that icon is trademarked and "identifies" the Firefox "brand" (if you will). So it's unlikely that you could change it at run-time.
Firefox is open-source; you could always just download & compile your own version, replacing the icon resource with your own. A bit dramatic, but possible.
