Some registery tweaks that I need..

Hi,

I have pretty much finished my unattended Vista install (that cost so much) and the things I need to do now (and don't know how) are:

1. Disable Highlighting Newly Installed Programs in start menu

2. Hide the Email in Start menu

3. Hide the quick launch bar.

4. Make FF3 the default browser

I'd like to achieve that using registry tweaks.

Any help will be very welcome!

Thanks in advance.

How would you do this if you have several different versions of Firefox? I have several different versions for several different reasons.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]

"NoToolbarsOnTaskbar"=dword:00000001

"NoSaveSettings"=dword:00000000

this ^^ will disable all toolbars on the taskbar. you cannot disable just the quicklaunch with reg tweak because it's a dll

Edited by hannubys

anyone know how to "enable advanced performance" via registry?

You will have to export it manually cause I dont know what hard drive you have.

Open regedit (start menu> run> type in "regedit" (without quotes) and go to "HKLM>System>Controllset003>ENUM>IDE>"your harddrive">"5&XxXxXxXxXxXxX" (numbers/letters)>Device Parameters". Right click on "Disk" and go "export", save it to the desktop. Rite click it and go "edit". You will see something like this.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet003\Enum\IDE\"your hard drive"\"5&XxXxXxXxXxXxX"\Device Parameters\Disk]
"CacheIsPowerProtected"=dword:00000000
"UserWriteCacheSetting"=dword:00000001

It says ""CacheIsPowerProtected"=dword:00000000", change the last "0" to a "1". It will look like this.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet003\Enum\IDE\"your hard drive"\"5&XxXxXxXxXxXxX"\Device Parameters\Disk]
"CacheIsPowerProtected"=dword:00000001
"UserWriteCacheSetting"=dword:00000001

Go to file>"save" and your done.
