butanamine Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Dr. Watson annoys me, so I haveWindows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ;Disable Dr. Watson Debugger[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AeDebug]Is that a bad idea?Also, I finally got the Visual Effects working after many hours of trying. I know a lot of other people were having problems with this too. I think its partly because the tweak in the master reg file is incomplete or at least not grouped properly.Would it be possible to update the master tweak file with better instructions? I have attached my reg file with instructions so it should make things a bit simpler and hopefully fail-safe. I think it will save some people a lot of time.Thess threads (smc1979's program to get VisualEffects tweaks to work) and (AriesSyntax's explanation of the different keys) were particularly useful.VisualFX.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxXPsoft Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]"Start_MinMFU"=dword:00000002[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartPage]"ProgramsCache"=hexThose are the 2 that effect it.NOTICE in "ProgramsCache"=hexI did not add a lenghty hex version. Set the way you like and export. kIn "Start_MinMFU" I set this to 2. Show me the 2 most recent. Check this yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcJ Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 I've deleted the {59031a47-3f72-44a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee} in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Explorer\My Computer\NameSpace\DelegateFolders but still can't physically delete the Shared Documents folder found in the All Users profile. It still complains that it's a Windows system folder and can't be deleted. Is this because it's got WFP enabled on the folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazkrlauwste Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 When are the registry tweaks gonna be updated again? It's been like forever!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted January 11, 2005 Author Share Posted January 11, 2005 I will update it when there is a good lot of things to add, which everyone could benefit from.Plus, there's the _small_ problem about the time it takes to go through all the pages and add the new tweaks and sort it and document it properly. The last time I did it took almost a whole day. If someone is willing to make an updated regtweaks file that contains all the tweaks found in this thread, I will gladly replace the file in the first post and give the credits to whoever has done it (though I will need to check the file thoroughly before putting it on first post).I'm actually thinking of starting a new thread with an updated set of tweaks. Maybe I'll put it up once the uA CD guide update (by Alanoll) is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this because it's got WFP enabled on the folder?You can try this:To unregister:start > run command > type - regsvr32 /u mydocs.dll Then go hereC:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documentsand hereC:\Documents and Settings\Username\My Documentsand delete the these folders.-----------------------------------------------------------------To register again:start > run > type - regsvr32 mydocs.dll Thats also how you can get rid of the other stupid folders like my pictures and my music, etc.cya, Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jogy Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 After having been to this forum for about 2 weeks now, I've come to learn that using the Hacked sfc_os.dll I'll be able to disable WFP. This can also be done using nLite. The same goes for uxtheme.dll.I'd like to know if there is some kind of standalone exe file that would allow me to switch the WFP on and off just like there are patch files at neowinthat allows me to switch on/ off the uxtheme.The idea behind this is that I'd like to switch off the the WFP, replace the notepad anc calc and the switch it back on so that folks at home do not mess around with sytem files.Thanks & Cheers!
