;Disable NVIDIA Driver Helper
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NVSvc]
"Start"=dword:00000004
HARDWARE------------------------------------------------------------
;CoolBits...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\NvTweak]
"CoolBits"=dword:00000003

what do these Nvidia tweaks do?? driver helper? whats that?

I am researching Nvidia Nforce2 problems- specifically IDE CD-ROMs being loaded with SCSI drivers!!?? Any help would be appreciated!!

it just overclocks the core clock freq and memory clock freq

if u're having problems its not going to change after adding/changing those...

try a driver update, firmware update, update of anykind

it doesnt overclock anything but unlocks a new panel in forceware controlpanel to overclock gpu und ram

Add detailed information in device manager.

This is much different than show nonpresent devices. Enabling this gives you the details tab as shown in the attached screenshot.

The best thing it adds is the PCI ID string. I was able to "hack" a set of scanner drivers to get them working when Windows said the drivers wouldn't.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment]
"DEVMGR_SHOW_DETAILS"="1"

someone was asking for a tweak to get rid of links in favorites

I just came across it.here it is:

delete the links folder then

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar]
"LinksFolderName"=""

if u open up internet explorer after deleting links folder but not applying the reg tweak u'll get links folder again. so delete it and then apply the tweak...

I have another registry tweak I am looking for.

I am using windows server 2003 and when it boots, its necessary to manually turn the graphics hardware acceleration to maximum after the first boot. Until this time, control panel will not function and direct X hardware acceleration will not function.

Does anyone know of a tweak to turn hardware acceleration to max?

Cheers

**webwilli** · March 13, 2004

i´m searching for a tweak thats enabled single mouse click (see pic, sorry but it´s german xp)

**nuhi** · March 13, 2004

This is for english version, try it, maybe it will work for you too:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]
"ShellState"=hex:24,00,00,00,13,a8,01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\
  01,00,00,00,0d,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00

Of course, you need to logoff or restart for it to work.

**eirogge** · March 15, 2004

hiya folks,

i'm in unattended installations for a couple of time now, but there are some things regarding registry tweaks i still didnt manage to do.

first of all i want the settings i attached in the image to be applied during T12 (cmdline.txt).

my current .reg-file with the corresponding entries looks like this:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects]
"VisualFXSetting"=dword:00000003
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\AnimateMinMax]
"DefaultApplied"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\ComboBoxAnimation]
"DefaultApplied"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\CursorShadow]
"DefaultApplied"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\DragFullWindows]
"DefaultApplied"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\DropShadow]
"DefaultValue"=dword:00000000
"DefaultApplied"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\FontSmoothing]
"DefaultValue"=dword:00000001
"DefaultApplied"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\ListBoxSmoothScrolling]
"DefaultApplied"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\ListviewAlphaSelect]
"DefaultValue"=dword:00000001
"DefaultApplied"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\ListviewShadow]
"DefaultValue"=dword:00000001
"DefaultApplied"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\ListviewWatermark]
"DefaultValue"=dword:00000001
"DefaultApplied"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\MenuAnimation]
"DefaultValue"=dword:00000001
"DefaultApplied"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\SelectionFade]
"DefaultValue"=dword:00000001
"DefaultApplied"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\TaskbarAnimations]
"DefaultValue"=dword:00000001
"DefaultApplied"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\TooltipAnimation]
"DefaultValue"=dword:00000001
"DefaultApplied"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\WebView]
"DefaultApplied"=dword:00000000

they're all fine, but the settings behind the first checkbox (see the attached image) are still applied which i dont want. those are the minimize-maximize animations, listbox animations and so on.

so what have the reg-settings above look like for that?

second thing are small icons in explorer/internet explorer. for that i have the following setting in my .reg-file:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\SmallIcons]"SmallIcons"="yes"

this doesnt work, too. any ideas about that? i tried to search the hive files for small icons, found one entry and changed it from 0 to 1 but that had no effect.

**XtremeMaC** · March 15, 2004

where is the attached image

these are per user reg's u might want to import them later on the setup...

**eirogge** · March 15, 2004

thanks for the remark with the image

those settings deserve to be applied at T12 as this is the only chance to apply these settings to the default user account before other accounts are created. with all the other settings it works great
