I’m far to lazy to type my user name in every time I start up, I tried and searched for a solution to no avail, I asked on the ubuntu forums and user KryTarik pointed me at the document I needed.
Solution
1. The settings are stored in /etc/gdm/custom.conf
2. We need to edit that file (Applications > Accessories > Terminal), and execute the following command.
3. I am going to add my domain user object, and hide the local user I created, by adding the following.
I work with text files a a lot, and while Notepad is great, sometimes I want to look at line numbers or do some spell checking, so I prefer EditPlus. The biggest problem with that is, by default word wrap is disabled. You can simply go to Document > Word-wrap, but it only affects the open document. I want word wrap enabled globally!
Solution
1. Whilst in EditPlus > Tools > Preference > File > Settings & syntax > Word Wrap > Tick “Enable word wrap” > OK > Apply > OK.

I use EditPlus 3 a lot for editing firewall configs, and just taking notes. But freshly installed it has the annoying habit of creating .bak (backup) files for every file you work on. I tend to keep the notes I’m working on on my desktop, so this can clutter it up with annoying icons.
Solution
1. Launch EditPlus > Tools > Preferences > Files.
2. Untick ‘Create backup file when saving’ > Apply > OK.

Windows did this with Windows 7 (and Vista). If you attempt to edit the hosts file you will see the following.
You don’t have permission to save in this location. Contact the administrator to obtain permission. Would you like to save in the My Documents folder instead?
Solution
1. You could run an admin command window, and use the EDIT command, but Notepad is easier. Open the Apps page (Windows Key+Q) > Locate Notepad and right click it > Run as Administrator.
Note: YES Even if you are logged in as an administrator.
2. Now you can open the hosts file (make sure you change the file type to all files or notepad wont see it!). And you can then edit the file and save the changes.

I’ve written in the past about bulk importing users with CSVDE, but what if you want to move/migrate your users to another domain? You first need to export all the users, then import them into the new domain.
Solution
Step 1 Export Domain Users to CSV File
1. Here all my users are in one OU, if that OU has ‘nested OU’s within it that’s OK.
3. The users will be exported. If it fails at this point it will give you a descriptive error, CSVDE has been around for a while, Google the error (most fixes are pretty simple).
4. Now open the CSV File with Excel, the second line will probably be the OU, you can leave this here if you want but if your target OU is different (or Like me you prefer to create it manually), then delete row 2 (Don’t delete Row 1!).
5. You do not need all the columns, delete all the columns EXCEPT,
DN
objectClass
ou
distinguishedName
name
cn
sn
givenName
displayName
sAMAccountName
userPrincipalName
So when complete it should look like the following;
6. Change any details in the LDAP path that are different for the new domain.
7. You may also need to change the domain name that’s listed on the userPrincipleName.
Step 2 Import Domain Users from CSV File
1. On the target domain, (if you are not importing the OU’s, then make sure they already exist). The syntax for the import is;
[box]
csvde -i -f c:\filename.csv
[/box]
9. Your users should be imported.
10. By default they will be disabled, but you can bulk enable them.
11. At this point all the users have no password, this can also be bulk set.
If you want to migrate your dictionary to a new machine, or you have mistakenly added a word to the dictionary and need to delete that word, then you need to locate and edit the private dictionary.
With older versions of Dreamweaver the private/personal dictionary was a file with a .tlx extension, and it was in a completely different location! I spent a LONG TIME searching the net for the correct location for CS6. In the end I had to add a nonsense word into the “Add to Personal” dictionary, then use Agent Ransack to search the entire drive for the file that contained that word!
Solution
1. First fire up Dreamweaver and see what language you have the dictionary set to (this will matter in a minute). Edit > Preferences > General > Spelling Dictionary > Take note of what it is set to.
2. Notice mine is set to UK (that’s en_GB, if you are American yours will be en_US etc.). To locate your personal dictionary navigate to;
