ms wordpad recent files modification Hi, does anyone know how to change the, by default 4, recently viewed file number in wordpad to eg 10...? I know where in the registry windows keeps track of the last 4 files but didn't manage to actually increase to the desired number. I'm using windows 2000, sp3. Thanks

Pitty this can't be done as easily as stopping/restarting windows processes.

Actually, these registry entries do appear to have taken effect even though I didn't reboot my system! I removed the recent docs, recent docs history, help function, ... from the start menu and I noticed a few minutes ago that these are now gone. Weird, guess I'm running a windows system(?) I'm on windows 2000 professional 5.00.2195 service pack 3. Or maybe these do after all not require a reboot to activate but somehow windows was dead slow??? May sound weird but sometimes it seems like you have to "shake" windows into action. I've removed some other outdated system info like the shell, new files... and the incorrect software installation list. Huh, long live windows, where's my Longhorn!!!??? Or should that be some penguin?

.. modifications. Hi, does anyone know how to "reboot", activate registry modifications that normally require a cold reboot, without actually performing a cold reboot? Some registry modifications are activated immediately but some require a reboot. Thanks

Hi, doees anyone know of a way to release a system, windows 2000 or windows xp, that has been locked with the dword values called: "RestrictRun" and "DisallowRun", with both set on value 1 or activated. Once the system is rebooted they lock out every application inlcuding the registry itself!!! Is there a way or a tool that allows you to reset these 2 values to 0 or disabled or allows you to simply remove them and reboot? Many thanks

Thx, it works. Bookmarked in regedit!

Does anyone remember how to remove incorrect items from the installed sw list? Knew it but forgot, cannot find back either. Thx
