Hi All, Iam having a few issues trying to tweek my XP install. I am using Batch files to install my apps and call my tweek.reg file in commandline.txt. The file is as follows... Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Tour] "RunCount"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Tour] "RunCount"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server] "fAllowToGetHelp"=dword:00000000 "fDenyTSConnections"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SSDPSRV] "Start"=dword:00000004 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\upnphost] "Start"=dword:00000004 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] "NoInternetIcon"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] "NoInternetIcon"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\CleanupWiz] "NoRun"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] "SmoothScroll"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] "UserPreferencesMask"=hex:90,32,07,80 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] "FontSmoothingType"=dword:00000002 "FontSmoothing"="2" "FontSmoothingType"=dword:00000002 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DirectPlayNATHelp\DPNHUPnP] "UPnPMode"=dword:00000002 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main] "Start Page"="http://sadie/" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DriverSearching] "DontSearchWindowsUpdate"=dword:00000001 "DontPromptForWindowsUpdate"=dword:00000001 [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{540D8A8B-1C3F-4E32-8132-530F6A502090}] @="Language bar" "MenuTextPUI"="@%SystemRoot%\System32\msutb.dll,-325" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel] "{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000000 "{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000000 "{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"=dword:00000000 I am trying to disable the fade effect for the menus and tool tips and set the smooth edges for screen fonts to smooth. I believe from the above reg changes i am on the right lines but its not changing it. Also I have looked in a lot of places to try and find a way to disable Internet Gateway Device Discovery and Control Client. It is found in Add/remove programs---Windows componants---then Network compnoants. I ve tried once again in the above to change it through some settings i have found relating to gateways, but to no avail. If anyone can help with the above it would be much appreciated. Thanks for your time and support.
