Scummy Amazon has made this Chime thing default to setting the option of "Start Amazon Chime when computer starts" always on. Every time I invoke this POS I have to shut that option off, otherwise the craprod bytes off some of my resources. Has anybody found a solution to this hassle?
On Mac, in System Preferences, search for "Open applications at login" and deselect from here.

I have a system that I want to lock down, only running certain programs.
All is working so far when I use "Run only specified Windows applications" (under Local Computer\User Configuration\Administrative Templates\System) except when I try to add an option to remove media.
I have the policy enabled with a list of all applications I want to be able to load. And this: "rundll32.exe shell32.dll, Control_RunDLL HotPlug.dll"
but when I run my shortcut for this I just get the error "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator"
I saw someone online with a similar problem with rundll32.exe but that was with a printer and they got it working by adding a printui.dll. Am I missing something or doing something wrong or is this not possible? I need this option because I have to disable right click in our locked down system.
Using Personal Edition v20.2 of MobaXterm at Windows 10...
No problem to remove a strange file like C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\MobaXterm\slash\bin\xwin_mobax.exe ?
PS: this page say that xwin_mobax.exe is a virus, and windows asking about pemission (I cancel).
The page link that you mentioned in your post describes about checking running processes associated with MobaXterm program and if you find those suspicious then it can be dangerous but they are not categorizing as threat since it is tool for SSH and as you know for that it reads keystrokes and mouse inputs.
So simple answer is NOT currently but if you monitor some unusual behavior by its process then it can be.
Did you check this?
1 Antivirus labeled it as Trojan.Heur
The most significant indicator is an Anti-VM trick
(You can also check here and here)
Conclusions:
You can continue using your "Personal Edition v20.2 of MobaXterm", but
You can to delete as precautionary, but it is only 2.5% (1 of 40 detector-engines) as metadefender report YnpJd01EUXdNWEo1YUhSSmFEQXRSRlVyMWlGMkNidzg. Seems that will not affect MobaXterm functions
We are currently evaluating install4j and things are going pretty well, however I have a question about auto-update.
Currently I see options and documentation around 3 options for auto-update and the third one (no version check) seems
to be the closest to what we need. However it sounds as though it still prompts the user to actually start the download/install. Is there
any way to get around this? We are targeting our software as a service on many windows boxes in a server room, so there isn't a user
to click continue for that last step. I believe we can roll our own service to monitor for upgrades that will do a command line
install with an answers file to prevent prompting, but I'd love to know if I missed something that would allow me to utilize
install4j's auto-update.
When you go to Installer->Screens & Actions, click on the "Add" button and choose "Add application", you can choose from a number of pre-defined templates. However, they are just templates and after adding them you can change them completely.
If the updater should be automatic but still show a progress dialog, you can just set the "Default execution mode" property of the updater application to "Unattended mode with progress dialog". In that case, no screens will be shown at all.
How to set a specific logon time for a specific user on Windows XP?
For example, the computer is an "always on machine" and most of the time no one is logged on. I want to set a time for my user to log on, without someone actually having to be in front of the machine. I've tried a workaround with the built-in auto logon function (control userpassword2), but I still need a secure system as I'm not the only user, and would still want a password even if I was the only user.
I have searched for third party software, but to no avail. I've a good knowledge of batch and Python scripting and a little of Java, so any pointers with any of those would help.
How can it be "secure" if it logs you on without you being there? Surely it would be better for it to wait for you to type in a password (i.e. the login prompt)?
If you want a fast "startup" time, then you can lock the workstation (ctrl+alt+del to open the Task Manager and then click 'Lock'. This shows a dialog just like the login prompt, but when you enter your password you instantly continue your existing session). Or if you want to be more eco friendly, put your PC into Sleep mode, which most PCs will return from (again with an optional password prompt) in less than 5 seconds.
One way I just thought of: Run a Vnc Server, and hack into an open source viewer program. Then you can rig it with some code to pass keyboard commands back into the computer, maybe implement some screen scraping to make sure it only does it when appropriate.
But seriously, there has to be a better way. Why are you trying to do this?
Some time ago, I came across an online article that described how to configure Windows XP to automatically accept the default option on a dialog box. As I (vaguely) recall, it was some sort of oddball registry configuration that did this, and it amazingly worked. Yeah - it's dangerous, but it would be very helpful right now with a problem where I'm trying to run Windows XP in an unattended situation. I'm trying to suppress any kind of interaction.
So if you can point me to the magic incantation to repeat this, I'd appreciate it. I'm sure I saved the link, only it's at least 2 hard disk crashes ago.
I found this again later. There's a registry entry called "EnableDefaultReply" that can be used to control this functionality. An MSDN article with extensive detail, cleverly called "Enabling Default Reply" can be found at that link.
Not sure if XP can do that, but give Buzof from Basta Computing a try. Works very well for what you have in mind.
Maybe you recall setting the option of the mouse pointer to the default button?
