Permissions to install flash player on Terminal Server

Here is how to fix this problem when using TS. I have tested it both on the 32-bit version of Windows Server 2003 and the x64 version. Works (for me):

1. Download the latest Flash uninstaller on this page: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=1 and place it somewhere on your hard disk (C:\Temp is a good place)
2. Open a command prompt, navigate to the folder where you placed the uninstaller and run it with the "/clean" option, like this: "uninstall_flash_player.exe /clean" (without quotes - thanks Adobe for so clearly documenting any command line options for this tool...NOT !)
3. Click the Details button. If it lists any files as "Delete on reboot", then reboot now. Otherwise, just carry on.
4. Download the EXE installation package from here:
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/ts/documents/tn_19166/Install_Flash_Player_9_ActiveX.zip
5. Use the Control Panel Add/Remove programs method to install it. This ensures that the Windows install notification API triggers correctly (as opposed to executing change user /install in a command prompt).
6. Use regedit and find the following key: HKCR\CLSID\{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000} (on 64-bit Windows this one is located under HKCR\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000})
7. Remove any permissions for the Everyone group. click Advanced and tick the box to propagate the permissions to all child objects.
8. Add the Everyone group and give it "Read" permissions on the key. Again, click the Advanced button and propagate the permissions to all child objects.
9. Repeat steps 6 to 8 on the subsequent key, called HKCR\CLSID\{D27CDB70-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000}

Log on as a norrmal user and test it.

Provided that the uninstaller did not report that it needed a reboot in step 3, all this can be done and will start working immediately, even with active users logged on and running several instances of IE on the Terminal Server.

Ubuntu Linux: Uninstall / Remove Any Installed Software

Uninstall / Delete / Remove Package

Just use the following syntax:

 sudo apt-get remove {package-name}

 For example remove package called mplayer, enter:
 $ sudo apt-get remove mplayer

Remove package called lighttpd along with all configuration files, enter:
 $ sudo apt-get --purge remove lighttpd


To list all installed package, enter:
dpkg --list
dpkg --list | less
dpkg --list | grep -i 'http'

I don't believe in that

Раскладка языка при входе в систему

Параметры реестра, отвечающие за раскладку клавиатуры при входе в систему находятся в разделе:

HKU\.DEFAULT\Keyboard Layout\Preload

Достаточно будет на первую позицию поместить желаемую раскладку - 00000409
(английская раскладка) или 00000419 (русская).

Вы можете внести в реестр необходимые параметры, выполнив следующие команды:

reg add "HKU\.DEFAULT\Keyboard Layout\Preload" /v 1 /t REG_SZ /d 00000409 /f
reg add "HKU\.DEFAULT\Keyboard Layout\Preload" /v 2 /t REG_SZ /d 00000419 /f

Чтобы сменить сочетание клавиш, переключающих раскладку, выполните команду:

reg add "HKU\.DEFAULT\Keyboard Layout\Toggle" /v Hotkey /t REG_SZ /d 1 /f

выделенный красным параметр можно менять (1 - ALT+SHIFT, 2 - CTRL+SHIFT). Чтобы переключение работало, необходимо наличие как минимум двух раскладок
