Recently, whenever I'm printing a file from IE, I'm getting a prompt to save or open the file before printing. I tried to disable this prompt under security tab-Custom level-Downloads in Internet option but I'm not able to find the option to disable the automatic prompt. This started happening from last week.
I'm using Internet Explorer 11.
Please let me know if anyone has any idea why the option is not visible or anyway to disable this prompt and directly send file to printer.
I am not sure Which kind of file you are trying to print. But it looks like that file format is not supported by the IE browser.
Generally, when you try to open the file that is not supported by the IE browser it will show you that prompt and give you the option to save or open that file.
If we talk about that prompt then at present there is no way to disable that prompt.
In the older versions of the IE browser has the option to disable this prompt. In those older versions, there was a way to disable this prompt using the registry key. For security purposes, these options were removed in the IE 10 and IE 11 version.
I suggest you use the dedicated application for that file type and try to print the file from that application.
For example, if you want to print the word document then try to use MS Word application to print it.

when i am trying to view files from my TFS document library it's download the file instead of opening it automatic with excel OR word that are already installed on my pc, does someone know how to fix it?
i am using office365 and TFS2015 as you can see at the screenshot that attached this is how it's look like in PC that working fine.
This kind of issue may related to your IE security setting, try to add the related sharepoint site in trust site and try again:
Close your browser (if you don't and you have your SharePoint site up you'll get a bunch of script errors because of the change to access
levels).
Go to your Control Panel
Open Internet Properties
Select the Security tab.
Select Trusted Sites
Click Sites, and add the URL for your SharePoint site.
More details please refer this similar issue: "Some files can harm your computer" dialog when I open a file from the document library
If the warning dialog is disappear, but when you open file still download. Then that behavior maybe defined by your browser. Try some other browser such as IE/Chrome/FireFox. Double check the integration/link of your browser and Word,Excel.
I have set up a webdav folder that I can access thorugh chrome and edit files and save them back to the server, for example, I can open a word doc, edit it and save it back.
When I come to open a pdf, it wont save back to the server and downloads a copy of the pdf instead of the original.
Is there a way of enabling this to edit a pdf?
My end goal is to be able to open a pdf, add comments/highlights and save it back to the server, through my browser.
Thank you
Edit:
I have set this up through Apache 2.4, no plug ins through chrome, I have mapped a network drive to the server folder where I can open and edit files. Except PDFs, I would like to add comments to a off but when I open one the option is greyed out and when I try and save it after opening it tries to save to my desktop.
I'm not sure i've got your use case right, but if i've understood you correctly you have a link in a web page to a PDF which you're viewing in chrome. You click on that link and the PDF downloads to a temp file from which it is opened. If you edit and save those changes are simply saved to the temp file on your local PC. Is that correct?
If so, then this is simply normal behaviour for links in web pages. There is absolutely nothing in the HTML standard which suggests links should be opened by an editor with knowledge of the source location.
What you really want is for the link to launch an editor program which retrieves the remote document in edit mode (probably locking the remote resource) and then have edits saved back to the server. For this to happen there generally needs to be some special interaction in the browser. In Internet Explorer this is provided by the sharepoint dll and special script code. I think there's a plugin for Chrome which does the same thing, although differently.
I havent used the Chrome plugin, but i think this might help - https://code.google.com/p/npapi-msdocs/
I have an Outlook macro that saves and prints hundreds of PDF files every day using IE8. We are upgrading to IE9, my testing thus far shows that the script will not function because IE9 does not allow disabling the file download prompt. I can't use sendkeys, the screen is locked on the workstations that run the script. The script must use IE to download because it accesses a CGI script at the remote end in order to validate and fetch the document. It's not a direct download. So I can't seem to escape the IE9 security.
Is there a way to get the document to open in IE, outside of Acrobat, and save the document that way? I would like a solution outside of AutoIT or any other 3rd party utility that I probably will not be able to purchase/install.
You say the script "must use IE because it accesses a CGI script at the remote end".
The first thing that springs to mind is that IE is probably the wrong tool here anyway.
What you're describing is an automated process (particularly the bit about the workstation being locked), so a program with a graphic user interface like a web browser is the wrong tool for the job.
What you really need for this is a command-line HTTP download tool that you can use to write a script.
Fortunately, such a tool exists: I suggest you download WGet.
You can then open a command prompt and simply write:
wget http://servername/filename.pdf
This will download the file exactly as if it were being downloaded by IE, and save it to the local disk ready for you to print it, or whatever else you need to do.
Combine wget with a few simple scripting tools, and you'll find that you can bypass IE entirely.
I'd suggest that this is a far better solution than trying to make IE act the way you're doing.
Hope that helps.
I'm testing an extension that was developed for a Safari browser. Reseting Safari data doesn't clear the data saved by the extension (like username and password), nor does uninstalling it.
So I'm looking for Safaris configuration options. Essentially what is Safari's equivalent to Firefox's "about:config"
Advanced options in safari:
http://itc.virginia.edu/network/proxy/safari.html
But maybe you could ask in superuser look at this question:
https://superuser.com/questions/236558/how-to-clear-all-html5-local-storage-from-safari
This should work it's very weird that those credentials don't get deleted:
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/apple/clear-all-browsing-history-in-safari/
http://www.techgainer.com/clear-remove-browser-data-history-passwords-firefox-ie-safari-chrome-opera/
The extension "likely" saves its data inside ~/Library/Safari/LocalStorage/ inside a file named: safari-extension_com.XXX.YYY , where XXX.YYY differs pending on the name of the extension. If you delete that file, it'll kill all of its settings, which should re-populate to the defaults when re-launched. Ensure you've quit Safari before deleting.
In an HTML file on My Computer, I'm trying to use the Scripting.FileSystemObject in a script. How can I disable the popup saying "Any ActiveX control on this page may be unsafe for scripting"?
The "Internet Options" Security pane allows one to set "Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe for scripting" to Enabled for various zones, but files on the local computer don't appear to be in any of the listed zones.
So I guess the alternate question is "How can I edit the security options for local files?"
System:
Windows XP SP3
Internet Explorer 7
By pure hackery, I discovered that setting the following registry value does it:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\0]
"1201"=dword:00000000
But I'm still wondering whether there's any supported way of doing this.
Tools |Internet Options | Advanced tab .. way down under Security .. "Allow active content to run in files on My Computer"
Start Menu, Run and type INETCPL.CPL
Click the Security tab
In the Internet Zone, click the Custom Level button
Set Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Allow
There's a registry way of getting "Local Computer" to appear as one of the security zones. But this article doesn't mention IE7, so IE7 might be different. XP also has new settings like "Allow active content to run in files on My Computer" under advanced options.
Alternatively, if you rename your local .html file to .hta (a HMTL application), that might be what you're looking for. Unless you need all the browser chrome.
as someone mentioned that this should be added to registry
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\0]
"1201"=dword:00000000
but i found that "Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe" must be enabled too for internet zone
Depends on the version. Here's for IE32 on x64 Windows:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID{0D43FE01-F093-11CF-8940-00A0C9054228}\Implemented Categories]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID{0D43FE01-F093-11CF-8940-00A0C9054228}\Implemented Categories{7DD95801-9882-11CF-9FA9-00AA006C42C4}]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID{0D43FE01-F093-11CF-8940-00A0C9054228}\Implemented Categories{7DD95802-9882-11CF-9FA9-00AA006C42C4}]
I also had ActiveX security warning ("an activex control on this page might be unsafe to interact with other parts of the page. Do you want to allow this interaction ?") on IE11 Win10 & with the below registry setting I could suppress that popup.
[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-18\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\Zones\0] "1201="dword:00000000".
[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-18 is for SYSTEM account & we can also set this for HKCU for current user account.
Activex Controls often prompt an error message while trying to launch course through the local files. (For IE7)
Please set the following settings under internet option\Security\Internet\custom level\
Run Activex controls and plug ins - Enable
Script Activex control marked safe for scripting - Enable
under Scripting - Active Scripting - Enable
Also please check the following check box undertools\Internet options\Advanced\security
1. Allow active content to run in my files on my computer.
