[BM]Crusher Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 I used the components section of winnt.sif to turn of visible access points for Internet Explorer, Outlook Express and Media Player... the only problem is that the "Internet" and "Email" items stay pinned to the start menu with no associations, so you still have to customise the start menu and untick the boxes...Also, what is a good, fast, easy to use registry tool that will show me what changes have been made? I could probably work this out if I had one of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get it from various places, heres one...regshot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big_gie Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 Here is the registry I use to "install" Thunderbird as default email client (i just unzip things so I need those reg...)[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Clients\mail]@="Mozilla Thunderbird"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Mozilla Thunderbird]@="Mozilla Thunderbird""DLLPath"="D:\\THUNDERBIRD\\mozMapi32.dll"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Mozilla Thunderbird\DefaultIcon]@="D:\\THUNDERBIRD\\THUNDERBIRD.EXE,0"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Mozilla Thunderbird\protocols][HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Mozilla Thunderbird\protocols\mailto]@="URL:MailTo Protocol""URL Protocol"=""[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Mozilla Thunderbird\protocols\mailto\DefaultIcon]@="D:\\THUNDERBIRD\\THUNDERBIRD.EXE,0"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Mozilla Thunderbird\protocols\mailto\shell][HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Mozilla Thunderbird\protocols\mailto\shell\open][HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Mozilla Thunderbird\protocols\mailto\shell\open\command]@="D:\\THUNDERBIRD\\THUNDERBIRD.EXE -compose %1"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Mozilla Thunderbird\shell][HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Mozilla Thunderbird\shell\open][HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Mozilla Thunderbird\shell\open\command]@="D:\\THUNDERBIRD\\THUNDERBIRD.EXE -mail"This will make Thunderbird the default mail client, and also pin it to the start menu instead of outlook.I'm using Sysinternals' Regmon utility to monitor the registry.http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/regmon.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
