elek Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 Hi! I would like to hear, if anyone in here has stumbled upon a way to change settings in the "Control Panel" automatically... As an example I would like to disable all the visual extras in windows XP, by going to >Control Panel>System Properties>Advanced (tab)>Performance (sub section)>Settings, and unchecking all of the boxes, automatically..

crofttk Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 My approach, but perhaps not the best, would be to write a batch file (with a shortcut or "hot-key" that runs it) that loads registry key values that implement what you're talking about. Then, of course, I'd have another batch file to reverse the changes.Don't have time for specifics but if someone doesn't have a better way, I'll check back in later and discuss further if you like.Food for thought at the least.

neosapience Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 For automated windows chores I use AutoIt. It's a great little scripting program that I couldn't do without.It takes a little while to learn, but it can do exactly what you're talking about. You just have to know the registry values, which are easy to find using programs like RegShot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
