These are the things I think make's Windows Explorer run a lot quicker when opening a folder with a lot of files.... These and unregistering the XP built in .zip and .cab dlls Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ; NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation = saves 8x3 info for 16 bit applications.

My Webpage Go to my webpage, scroll down to How Do I see the Security Tab in XP Home? This I originally found on Doug Knox Page but the link he gives don't allow download. I found alternate download link scesp4i.exe that works and its on my page. If that link disappears I can post this thing on my page. This enables the Security Option when you right click on anything and choose properties. Read what he says because setting permissions wrong can lock you out.!!!! EDIT: I forgot to add I been running this for about 2 weeks and its way cool if you want or need this. It should have been there in the first place, Do ya hear me MS

After installiing Java I found this running under Task Manager : jusched.exe I thought what is this. Went looking and found it was the SunJavaUpdateSched Seems its loooking for updates, I mean hello I can do that myself, I mean how often do they update?. So to disable I found it under the HKLM Run key as such; [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] "SunJavaUpdateSched"="C:\\Program Files\\Java\\j2re1.4.2_01\\bin\\jusched.exe" To disable another useless task running in the background use this; Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] "SunJavaUpdateSched"=- Yes thats a minus sign after the = That will remove from your registry and it won't start after next login or boot.

This is a simpler reg method for adding an Icon and I think it came from either Billsway or Kelly's Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions\{8b2d996f-b7d1-4961-a929-414d9cf5ba7b}] "CLSID"="{1FBA04EE-3024-11d2-8F1F-0000F87ABD16}" "ButtonText"="MS-KB" "Icon"="%SystemRoot%\\System32\\shell32.dll,281" "HotIcon"="%SystemRoot%\\System32\\shell32.dll,281" "Default Visible"="Yes" "Exec"="http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=FH;EN-US;KBHOWTO" "MenuText"="MS-KB" That will add MS Knowledge base up there and its easy to change to what you want.

Being that ElbyVCDShell.dll is all it adds is the Close Tray should be simple to whip up a small dll to make this work. 76.0 KB is what that is. Theres not much code to it at all. I may try making it soon.

Or if you're looking for the very latest FREE C sharp http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/Default.aspxSharpDevelop Free C++, .NET Compiler In order to be able to either compile (source code) or run (executable) SharpDevelop, you must have the Microsoft .NET SDK 1.1 installed on that machine http://www.dotnetgerman.com/links/dl_dotnetsdk.asp

Actually I think it depends on the key, for instance for Services HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\upnphost", "Start", 4, REG_DWORD where; 1 Boot 2 Automatic 3 Manual 4 Disabled Then 'Enable cmd prompt quick edit Reg_Write HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Console", "QuickEdit", 1, REG_DWORD Else Reg_Write HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Console", "QuickEdit", 0, REG_DWORD basically 1 says Enable and 0 is not Also Reg_Write HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon", "AllowMultipleTSSessions", 1, REG_DWORD But its right back where it was, Depends on key because a 1 can be Disable whereas 0 is allow or even no key means allow.

Just curious if this is where it writes the information? Or if you're into reg editing this will add Trillian or whatever up there, SO modify to what you want. Installit = path to the Trillian EXE file: with a backslash \ and whatever follows I believe this comes from Kellys site HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions\{2ef50289-0ea7-482e-a30b-4947a81e44cf}", "ButtonText", "Trillian", REG_SZ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions\{2ef50289-0ea7-482e-a30b-4947a81e44cf}", "clsid", "{1FBA04EE-3024-11d2-8F1F-0000F87ABD16}", REG_SZ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions\{2ef50289-0ea7-482e-a30b-4947a81e44cf}", "Default Visible", "YES", REG_SZ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions\{2ef50289-0ea7-482e-a30b-4947a81e44cf}", "Exec", Installit & "Trillian", REG_SZ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions\{2ef50289-0ea7-482e-a30b-4947a81e44cf}", "HotIcon", Installit & "Trillian.exe,117", REG_SZ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions\{2ef50289-0ea7-482e-a30b-4947a81e44cf}", "Icon", Installit & "Trillian.exe,191", REG_SZ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions\{2ef50289-0ea7-482e-a30b-4947a81e44cf}", "MenuText", "Trillian", REG_SZ sorry but thats from my VB app but it contains what you need. For those reg minded let me know if what keys it writes as I'd rather do it that way since I have HOME and thus not gpedit.msc
