I'm currently trying to work on a method of downloading files from a website using PowerShell v2. So far I can navigate to the appropriate page and click the link to download, however, when I do this the download banner appears at the bottom of the page asking me whether I'd like to open or save the file.
Does anyone know how to reference this banner in PowerShell (or even if it's possible), or failing that perhaps a method of turning off the alerts and saving as default?
Here's an example of a download banner from IE11 that I mention above.
Thanks,

I need to upload a file to OneDrive, via the command line. This will be done through a batch file which is distributed to end users.
From searching on Stack Overflow, I find questions like this one which say that you need to register an app and create an app password, using Azure. I don't have the necessary permissions to do this in the organization where I work, nor can I do anything that requires an admin account. So I can't any install software - I have to use what comes with Windows 10. I can't use VBA either as that's blocked.
I've managed to download files from OneDrive without anything like that, using the process described here:
Open the URL in either of the browser.
Open Developer options using Ctrl+Shift+I.
Go to Network tab.
Now click on download. Saving file isn’t required. We only need the network activity while browser requests the file from the server.
A new entry will appear which would look like “download.aspx?…”.
Right click on that and Copy → Copy as cURL.
Paste the copied content directly in the terminal and append ‘--output file.extension’ to save the content in file.extension since
terminal isn’t capable of showing binary data.
Example:
curl https://xyz.sharepoint.com/personal/someting/_layouts/15/download.aspx?UniqueId=cefb6082%2D696e%2D4f23%2D8c7a%2
…. some long text ….

cucg=1’ --compressed --output file.extension
I tried to do something similar after clicking 'upload' on the browser, but didn't find anything useful when trying to filter the requests.
I found these two questions but there is no keyboard shortcut to upload, AFAICT. Also the end user will be uploading a file to a folder I've shared with them from my OneDrive. Opening Chrome or Edge as a minimised window is fine, but I can't just shove a window in their face which automatically clicks on things - they won't like that.
It's just occurred to me that I might be able to use an office application to Save As the file to the necessary onedrive folder, where the keyboard shortcuts are pretty stable, but have no idea how to achieve that via the command line.
The best and more secure way to accomplish this goal I think is going to be with the Rest API for OneDrive.

You still need a Azure AD App Registration (which your admin should be able to configure for you), to provide API access to services in Azure. Coding with the API is going to be far easier and less complicated, not to mention more versatile.
I am pretty new to IT Administration and I think I have a pretty complicated request but I want to know if it is even possible through Intune. I have an application that I want to deploy and I think I would either need to package the application as a Win32 app or via a Powershell Script. I basically would need to download the zip from this website, extract the contents, open the WCX, silently pass through the prompts, and pin the app to the taskbar. Again I am not sure if this is even possible but this would save me a lot of trouble if there was an easy way to do this. Here is the link.

To download a file, use Invoke-WebRequest with the -OutFile parameter.
To Install a .wcx you use rundll like this:
rundll32.exe 'tsworkspace,WorkspaceSilentSetup' C:\Path\To\The.wcx
(There's a whole wrapper script for that on the old technet script gallery)
It's impossible by design to pin things to users' task bar or start menu programmatically (well, you could script a bunch of hotkey presses and clicks, but don't).
I tried to build an app based on the Document based app template. I am trying to get it to open markdown files. I got it to create the files and show up in the share sheet when viewing the file in the Files app. However in the Document Browser in the app (UIDocumentBrowserViewController) it is greyed out and cannot be selected. I can't really find what this is due. How do I fix this?
I tried it a second time, still did not work. A few days later however, the second one started working, the first one is still broken.
I want to fully disable the preview of any kind of file for shared/published files in Alfresco.
Alfresco Community v4.2.0
(r56674-b4848) schema 6033
Spring Surf and Spring WebScripts - v1.2.0
(Release 1331)
In Alfresco, you are able to share/publish any kind of file. By sharing/publishing the file, you will get a link to access this shared file. Other users like clients/customers for example are able to view the shared/published file and can download it via a link like this:
https://alfresco.example.com/share/s/9QJiV6PNSAqAlxZDnFVQlQ
My problem is, that I hate this preview regarding some browser and preview display issues. Some kind of files like ZIP-files aren't able to be displayed in the preview and this causes an empty preview, which sometime causes an missing download button.
I also just don't want the preview. Well, how can I disable/deactivate the whole preview (only) for shared/published files, that the preview does not appear, if I visit the share-link?
Thanks in advance!
Override in web-extension alfresco/site-data/pages/quickshare.xml
And remove the sub-component with id web-preview
BTW: you know if you disable the preview users won't have any ability to download or view the file.
Not sure this is the right stackexchange site but seems to be the place with the most question about Alfresco I can find so here goes.
Have Alfresco Community Edition 4.2.d installed on a RHEL5 64bit box (mainly default install bar using MySQL as a database locally). Uploading PDFs to the documentLibrary is fine and thumbnail previews and flash previews are generating. If the PDF has been processed by ABBYY OCR (which we have running on a separate server and is used to OCR scanned PDFs) then the flash preview generates fine but the thumbnail is incredibly dark and looks as if it has been attacked by a can of spray paint.
I initially thought it could be a ghostscript issue but have updated that to 9.14 and still getting this issue. I have also tried playing around with ImageMagik but I can't get a nice clear thumbnail to generate. I am guessing it is a switch in the convert command that Alfresco is using but I am struggling to work out a combination of switches that will work and then where Alfresco would store these parameters. Or indeed what switches are currently being used.
I was wondering if anyone had seen this behaviour before with ImageMagik previews in Alfresco 4.2.d? It seems something unique to PDFs that have been through the OCR process so I am guessing I will need to create a separate transformation for them at a later stage.
EDIT: So it was suggested that a later version of ImageMagick and GS should resolve it. I have therefore installed GS 9.14 and IM 6.8.9-0 (both compiled form source). Running the following from a command line:
convert /root/test1.pdf[0] /root/test1.png
results in a crystal clear image thumbnail preview. Thinking I was on to a winner I have amended the following lines in alfresco-global.properties to point to the system location of GS and IM:
img.root=/usr
img.dyn=${img.root}/lib
img.exe=${img.root}/bin/convert
img.gslib = /usr/local/share/ghostscript/9.14/lib/
and alfresco loads. However the thumbnail preview generated by Alfresco using the new version of IM and GS does not result in nice clean previews.
I am guessing that Alfresco is passing some command line switch during the conversion that is undoing the good work of the later versions of these programs. Does anyone know where the switches for thumbnail creation might be stored in Alfresco?
I guess it's related to transparency and default background black. I didn't find an easy way to add the required parameters to the script except to register a new transformer supporting more parameters like:
-fill white -opaque none
