[Registry Tweaks, Part-1]

One question though handy buddy, the tweak that disables short name creations for NTFS (i think that's what it's called, can't remember now), doesn't it sometimes give u errors? like for example, one i was trying to install a program and it's installation files were in a really complex directory and it would always give me errors and when i disabled "the tweak" it worked...

Any thoughts??

[AutoIt]

have u got any experience with that tool aaron? is it good--??

[AutoIt]

I think so, i even automatically install Medal of Honor (game) using AutoIt. Had problems installing C&C Generals though...

[AutoIt]

For example, programs that u can't install with switches for whatever reasons, u can send key presses to the installation program just to press the "next" button or to fill in installation directories or serial nº's...

[AutoIt]

Just wanted to share a really cool prog i found to help in unattended installations (escpecially for installations that don't support it). What it does is write scripts that can simulate mouse-clicks or send Keyboard keys!

AutoIt download page and documentation...

Haven't really mastered it, but it's pretty simple to use.

[Change original files to xp cd]

Ahh cool, thx aaron.

[Registry Tweaks, Part-1]

What does regdone do??

[Registry Tweaks, Part-1]

great tweaks! thx Nephilim

[Change original files to xp cd]

HOW exactly? i just dwlded a WindowsBlinds theme, it's extension is .wba

[Driver refuse to install, pls help]

Make sure u have the right .inf file. Try adding ur hardware using that inf, if it doesn't work it's because u have the wrong one selected!

[Change original files to xp cd]

Ahh get it, thx dude. So i can now use WindowsBlind themes without actually installing it?

[Registry Tweaks, Part-1]

Also becareful cause if u set Print Spooler to "Manual" as i did, u have to start the service manually to install a printer or print!

[Registry Tweaks, Part-1]

YEAH of course! feel free to take whatever u want, just watch out for the services that I disable, might affect ppl w/ modems or other configurations!

[Change original files to xp cd]

Try disabling windows file protection:

Open up REGEDIT and search for "SFCDisable" and set it's value to dword:ffffff9d.

Don't think that this is ur problem but it's worth a try.

BTW, could someone fill me in on how exactly this hack uxthemes.dll works and what it's for. I know it's for using modified themes or something but could someone show me an example plz

[Removing Registry entries in Batch]

ahhh, thx a lot dude

[2 problems]

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"SFCDisable"=dword:ffffff9d

dword:0 = enabled

dword:1 = disable but will prompt at boot to re-enable

dword:4 = enabled but no pop-up warnings

dword:ffffff9d = completely disabled

BTW, you might not find the registry entry in the exact same place if ur using a different OS version. Search for the term "SFCDisable" just to be sure in regedit.

Hope this helps:

[Removing Registry entries in Batch]

Is is possible to remove registry entries, such as the ones in HKey Local Machine >...>Run to stop programs from starting up?

Or even better, to configure msconfig automatically??

thx for the help
