XtremeMaC Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 yes there is a tweak for it; Show volume icon in the Task Tray[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\SysTray]"Services"=dword:0000001fwell this is for enabling I believe 0000001e is for disabling....

Its done ..Oh, so gee, I guess I can save myself all the trouble and hassle of searching for a simple and automated way to install tweaks by manually setting them myself? Woah! What a time saver!</sarcasm>If you missed it, the whole point of this big thread, is to post tweaks that help automate the process of getting your OS installation back up and running the way you like it, in as quick amount of time as necessary.
Professor Frink Posted June 16, 2004 Posted June 16, 2004 Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00;Turns off the sound icon[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\SysTray]"Services"=dword:0000001b That did it. Thanks! ......I hate to keep asking, but this is other thing is REALLY bugging me. I added the following to my tweak file: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]"ScreenSaveActive"="0""ScreenSaverIsSecure"="0""SCRNSAVE.EXE"="" But those changes were never applied. So I also added a separate .reg file to my final batch file with the exact same keys (so now it's being applied twice). Still nothing.But when the install is done, if I log on and double click that EXACT SAME .reg file and reboot, it works. What the heck?!? It is doing what I want -- turning off the default screensaver but allowing it to be turned back on. But why won't it work during my unattended install?

Marztabator Posted June 16, 2004 Posted June 16, 2004 Is there a tweak to change the shortcut arrow from the big boxy default to the small, non-boxed grey/white alternative, like with TweakUI? The problem with doing it under TweakUI is that it seems to alter another registry setting in HKCU/Control Panel/Desktop/WindowMetrics, meaning when the icons are reloaded they are in their downgraded and rather grotty 8-bit form. Indeed, it seems this happens also when you simply rebuild the cache with TweakUI.Microangelo can rebuild the cache and keep the icons the same as before, btw.
[BM]Crusher Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 if you know what tweakui is changing, just do half of it (don't do the one that changes the color depth)
skin2003 Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 Does anyone know the reg key for switching the Dialup default behaviour to: "Never dial a connection"?(I import dialup connections, but I want to set the default connection to never dial a connection, afterwards.)
[BM]Crusher Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 did you try regsnap or regshot?you can take a snapshot of the default setting, then change it to how you want and take a second snapshot... it will show you what was changed in the registry so you can easily make your own reg tweaks
