Explorer properties

[lallius]

Does anyone know how to import certain explorer properties during unattended install ?

with "certain" I mean, icon size(small), enabling hidden files to be viewed,

Making the "detail" view standard when you click my computer.

Look HERE for my opinion ...

Or see the thread on Registry Tweaks.

I don't know why this thread's no longer a sticky.

Currently I'm using the regtweak posted beneath;

But this gives me the "icon view" in explorer, does anyone know what I should change to enable the "detail view" ?

;wish to set all folders in the detailed list view,wish to show known file endings

;wish to see every file (hidden, system and so on) wish to see system folders

Anyone sussed "Detail view" yet?

The links above did not seem to have a reg entry to do the trick.

This is the last tweak I need and i'm done

[tim]

Ok found this:

;Detail mode in all folder

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

"Settings"=hex:09,00,00,00,04,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,77,7e,13,73,35,cf,11,ae,\

69,08,00,2b,2e,12,62,04,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,43,00,00,00

Bit reluctant to use a stream.

If ya know anything about Win32 programming you'll realise that it's not a good idea.

When a stream is copied to an area of memory, it must map to the layout the program expects.

If a future update changes the layout then having this reg tweak could give trouble.

(Feel free to correct me, i'm no Win32 expert)

yo,

i don't know if this is the right place for this one, but i'll ask anyways.

Windows XP has a bunch of "special effects" which are turned on by default. i usually turn them off by bringing up System Properties on the Advanced Tab. In there you find a Performance section. I always set it to "Best Performance", so all the special effects are turned off. I know this is a per-user setting. Can anyone give me the registry keys associated with having all these turned off? its one of the last registry tweaks i need to finished my CD....
