Every few hours of inactivity, the checkbox ( http://www.mvps.org/marksxp/images/desktop/perfop.JPG ) next to smooth-scroll listboxes resets itself. I want it off, and it resets to on. HKCU \Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Explorer\VisualEffects\ListBoxSmoothScrolling\DefaultApplied is "dword:00000001" HKCU\Control Panel\ Desktop\UserPreferencesMask is b0 02 01 80. Changing the third bit to a 1 doesn't have any effect. Can anyone help permanently turn off smooth scrolling of list boxes?

OK, it was the IPSec driver, which the TCPIP driver depends on. Both IPSec and TCPIP are not listed in services.msc. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\IPSec] "Start"=dword:00000003 Thanks everyone.

Hmm... it might be: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\IPSec] "Start"=dword:00000003 This sets the IPSec driver to manual, when I meant to disable the PolicyAgent. Let's test in VM ...

OK, it's definitely one of the services tweaks. Thanks for leading me in that direction, MHz. Any ideas? I've disabled DNS and DHCP on Windows 2000 machines with no problems, so I doubt it's those.

One of these unattended regtweaks causes the tcpip driver to fail with the following error upon reboot: Event ID: 7000 Description: The TCP/IP Protocol Driver service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified. Can anyone figure out which tweak is killing it? (please see attached - you may want to run in a VM and make a restore point before running it) services.reg

It's still not as fast as version 4. I've never encountered a PDF than version 4 can't read. You can download it at http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=acrobat REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Acrobat Reader 4" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\apps\acrobat\setup.exe /s /f1"%systemdrive%\apps\acrobat\setup.iss"" /f Here is the Adobe recommended way of disabling plug-ins. You can put it in cleanup.cmd: move "%programfiles%\Adobe\Acrobat\Reader\plug_ins\*.*" "%programfiles%\Adobe\Acrobat\Reader\Optional"

My Recent Documents renamed results:

How to rename My Recent Documents: 1. reshack explorer.exe (see attached) 2. use replacer 3. reboot

How do you: - Classic Start Menu: Remove Printers and Faxes from Settings? - Classic Start Menu: Remove the word "Programs" (you can remove "All Programs" from New Start Menu, why not on Classic?) - Classic Start Menu: Rename Search to Find and make it a one-click operation (without using a VBS script) - Classic Start Menu: Rename Settings to Control Panel and make it a one-click operation - New Start Menu: Rename My Recent Documents? Even reshacking shell32.dll didn't work. Also, can these be done automatically? - Outlook Express: Import registry settings to new machine when you don't know what the new Identity key will be - Services.msc: Remove Extended tab leaving only the Standard View (manually: mmc.exe > open services > click Customize View > Uncheck Taskpad Navigation Tabs > Save) - Or can you safely copy a saved services.msc from one XP system to another? - Cole2k advanced codec pack: Install everything but Divx Pro?

Thanks Crahak! Now, any idea about the TEMP variables? I'd like to set them before RunOnceEx ...

How do you enable the No Sounds scheme? How do you disable the pc speaker/beep device? What's the best way of setting TEMP/TMP variables? When exporting [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment], I get back hex values. Would like something a little cleaner.
