Rez. Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Hi,I have been doing Unattended setups for a few years now and there has always been one Reg Tweak that has never worked for me. It's mentioned in countless tweak guides and concerns itself with enabling/disabling the Common Tasks portion of explorer in Windows XP aka webview.The evoloution of this tweak for me has been as follows:In an HKCU.reg file imported at T12 via commandlines.txt:; Do not use Common Folder Tasks[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]"WebView"=dword:00000000The above never stuck.The following keys were imported via HKCU.reg at T12 and HKLM.reg on first run:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\WebView]"DefaultValue"=dword:00000000[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\WebView]"DefaultApplied"=dword:00000000[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]"WebView"=dword:00000000This also never worked.And finally, After studying what nLite did when using it's Tweak section I finally decided to integrate the tweaks directly into hivesys.inf and hivedef.inf:HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\WebView","DefaultValue",0x00010001,0HKCU,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\WebView","DefaultApplied",0x00010001,0HKCU,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced","WebView",0x00010001,0This also does not work.I guess it's just bugging me that it is always mentioned as a valid reg tweak but never seems to work out for me.Any opinions would be appreciated.~Using Windows XP Professional XP SP3Thanks for reading.

Geej Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 ; Do not use Common Folder Tasks[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]"WebView"=dword:00000000Try apply the above registry tweak during GUIRUNONCE. (May have to refresh your explorer.exe if need to)(To refresh explorer, in Runbox, just type the following: tskill explorer )I'm able to get it display w/o webview under normal XP by doing this.
