Applying Detail View to Windows Explorer Points somewhere else in the reg. Says you have to delete 2 keys reboot, set pref's. Then might be able to export those to keep settings. peachy On an Unattended that may work. Found this also but I think it need's reboot. ;Large icons = 01 ;Small icons = 02 ;List = 03 ;Details = 04 ;Place the cursor to the left of the fifth position, hit delete and then enter the new value. One last thing, seem's getting this to stick to all folder's is a nightmare, maybe not worth the hassle. annoyances.org

mystek What you are saying is that it will magically appear in a reg setting and that ain't hapening man. Its a dll call and that's it. Or show me cause i thought I tried it all.

I was Beta testing the new Command Shell for MS and it somehow messed up my Dos here to open command prompt at current dir on files and folders. Strange that even CD D:\Backup wouldn't change to that dir Heres what i figured out Append directory and add this with no space at end of it. /k cd /d After running that just once CD started working again so it was the Beta doing it somehow. I just left this cause it work's fine. enuffsaid Perhaps you could use that somehow too get your command working..

Is that Create Playlist with Winamp? Haven't tried that myself yet but think I will mess with it. Anyone else come up with something post. I had a little difficulty with 1 thing and finally figured it out. I think it will do anything just getting it right. Like using the Append directory or File.

No reply to this. Several have asked for similar thing's. Thought there would be some interest. oh well

REGKEY to disable the WINXP FIREWALL MENU
maxXPsoft replied to Gadgetmind's topic in Windows Tips 'n' Tweaks
Ok bad news first, you aren't able to do that by reg except on same domain it was connected to. MS Quote These policy settings are location-aware. They apply only when a computer is connected to the same DNS domain network it was connected to when the policy setting was refreshed on that computer. If a computer is connected to a DNS domain network other than the one it was connected to when the policy setting was refreshed, the policy setting does not apply. Only other method is to use above to enable or disable then set rerstriction on reg key by subinacl.exe to ADMIN only, that way it cannot be changed. I do see that with SP2 there will more options like your looking for but thats untested as of yet. -

REGKEY to disable the WINXP FIREWALL MENU

REGEDIT4 ;Disables the are you sure [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\HomeNetworking\PersonalFirewall] "ShowDisableFirewallWarning"=dword:00000001 ;Turns off Internet Connection Firewall [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess] "Start"=dword:00000003 Thats a service and may need reboot to get effect. Or simply at a command prompt, NET STOP SharedAccess which returns this if off; The Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) / Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service is not started. I didn't PM ya cause I been gone offline a few days and seen this here first. NOTE: Its a little different with SP2, still experimenting on that myself. -

I have a reg Tweak will add what you want below the Run in new. Couldn't you just click the Customize and use the Add and add a shortcut to your vb script? Then check reg and see where its writing and maybe customize it further. Then problem being removing the Help and Support, I think theres a way but haven't messed with Old Start in a while. This is Reg key to kill it in New Start Menu [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] "Start_ShowHelp"=dword:00000000 I found out its a Restriction will remove it, I'm looking for it. I have it here.

Check this out As mentioned some of it is wrong but it give's some examples for all. Most the stuff I have learned is try a command and if its not right, GOOGLE Advanced Search to the rescue. I have that old MS_Dos 6.2 book still laying around and it was a little help back in 3.1 day's. They (MS) killed Dos nearly in ME and I was totally surprised when XP brought it back with a slew of new command's. Try NET at the prompt but be careful. I hear its going to be extended further in Longhorn or next major Window's. Wish I had time to get the hang of C++ myself or even that new .NET, I have the free ICsharp and been messing with it. Have Fun and if you have ? just ask them. The only stupid question is one not asked cause there is no answer. Some don't think that way but I do. By all mean's do try the Search on the forum's first though, even though for me it rarely return's anything except error's mostly. Don't know what's up with that.

How to convert Hex code in registry files?
maxXPsoft replied to Marztabator's topic in Customizing Windows
I just open the registry and look at the key myself. Copy and paste to my reg file with the ; -
MCT Look in http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=21742 I think if I read it right that thing will do it. You just might add the Append file option and add %1 at end of command line. I just got this thing a week ago and have been experimenting.

Right click your Start, choose properties, make sure its on Start Menu then click Customize. Choose Advanced up top in Tab's. Its in there or do you want the registry tweak? Might be listed in Windows Tips and Tweaks Forum. Think I seen it there.

CMenuExtender << Its FREE!!! CMenuExtender is a shell extension that lets the user add items to the Explorer right click contextmenu with Icons. Using any registry-editor or the supplied GUI, the user can add submenus and items such as shortcuts to programs, documents, folders, webpages and scripts. CMExt also has some predefined commands for copying, moving and retrieving information on files and directories. This thing even does the Copy To, Move To, Dos Prompt, URL, Open Doc's, Displays Path and allows Copy and quite a few other things. Works on nearly all files or Folders. HOSTS has no extension so that didn't work is all I found. You can customize it completely and add what you want. Pick an icon from any dll or exe. I've done deleted all mine from registry as this is much nicer. The icons aren't real nice but they ok. Most ico are 16 and this uses 13 so minor thing. BTW did i say source code included CPP or Pascal I've done added it to my Unattened CD so if you need help with that let me know. Its not a silent installer. Some Examples>>> Only 1 problem I have found with it is on uninstall even though it is in Add/Remove it don't delete the reg keys. So I whipped this up. In a cmd file <as you can see I'm using %SystemDrive%\cMenuExtender for folder start /wait %SystemDrive%\cMenuExtender\cmexted.exe -u regsvr32 /u %SystemDrive%\cMenuExtender\cmext.dll regedit /s %SystemDrive%\cMenuExtender\Uninstall.reg EXIT Uninstall.reg REGEDIT4 [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\CLSID\{ABC70703-32AF-11d4-90C4-D483A70F4825}] [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\CLSID\{ABC70703-32AF-11d4-90C4-D483A70F4825}] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Approved] "{ABC70703-32AF-11d4-90C4-D483A70F4825}"=- [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Revenger inc.] [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\CMenuExtender] [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\CMenuExtender] I did a search and didn't see this anywhere so sorry if someone done it.

Turn ANY change in xp into a registry key
maxXPsoft replied to db2k's topic in Windows Tips 'n' Tweaks
WwTIPPYwW Those are 2 completely different RegHive's. Pop open Regedit and look The HKEY_CURRENT_USER is you as you are logged on and the HKEY_USERS\YOUR PID is you also. Normally you don't need to save the HKEY_USERS entries. I have seen only a couple that apply to you and with a little pratice its easy to pick out. If it repeats whats in the HKCU then it is not needed to save. EDIT: BTW If it writes to HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT its applying to default User and you may need that. -
paste the vbs file and i'll look at it. lol i done all that above to my sys, but first restore point and exported the reg as second.

Its in Shell32.dll SEARCH_FILES_FOLDER = "For &Files or Folders..." SEARCH_FILES_FOLDER_HELP = "Search for files or folders" FIND_COMPUTER = "For &Computers" FIND_COMPUTER_HELP = "Search for computers on the network" also this reg key contains some of it HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FindExtensions I was able to get it to have only the For Files and Folders... by deleting several other key's under that, but it was still a sub menu. Haven't hacked shell32. I'd rather have the subs but in new Start myself

Registry file refuses to install...
maxXPsoft replied to edmoncu's topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root right click on it and you'll see Permissions... click it and you will see System has Full Everyone has Read Administrator's have Full after the subinacl thing. It won't really matter to change it back because your setting it for Admin's also to Full, it doesn't remove System and everything is fine. -

Registry file refuses to install...
maxXPsoft replied to edmoncu's topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
Found this When registry keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet \Enum\Root\ were created, permissions were set so that only System, an account used by the operating system, could delete or change them. So the solution may be to get and use the Subinacl.exe to change permissions on that key then add the reg. Add the subinacl.exe to $OEM$\$$\System32 folder so its copied to System32 during setup then it can be used at any time. Subinacl.msi - Extract and save the subinacl.exe file Call this .cmd file and it grants Administrators permissions to Root subin.cmd subinacl.exe /keyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root /grant=Administrators EXIT Thats 2 lines the cmd then the EXIT on a separate line Then call your reg file Works for me that way. -
