Becko Posted January 22, 2004 Posted January 22, 2004 Hi,I've this tread 2 times, but didn't find how to Show Quick Launch. I have search the whole forum and google too, but there is no information about this. I monitor for the registry changes but can't find anything. :-(Is there anyone who knows how to do that? Is it record somewhere in the registry or in some file? The other question is how to remove default Favorites and replace them with mine for all users? I've tried to remove them with batch file, but when I create new user the default favorites are aplied. I put my Favorites in All Users, but they didn't appear in IE. What's wrong in my actions?And the last one - I try to remove the *.scr in %systemroot%\system32 with batch file as it shown in Prepare.cmd here:cmdow @ /HIDDEL "%systemroot%\*.bmp"DEL "%systemroot%\Web\Wallpaper\*.jpg"DEL "%systemroot%\system32\dllcache\*.scr"DEL "%systemroot%\system32\*.scr"DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Windows Update.lnk"DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Set Program Access and Defaults.lnk"DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Windows Catalog.lnk"but it's not working. When I log-in they are there and refuse to be removed. Even I delete them - they appear again. I realise what GreanMachine explained, that all setings are in hivedef.inf, but when I explore this find just this entries about screensaver:HKCU,"Control Panel\Desktop","ScreenSaverIsSecure",0x00000002,"0"HKCU,"Control Panel\Desktop","ScreenSaveTimeOut",0x00000000,"600"HKCU,"Control Panel\Desktop","ScreenSaveActive",0x00000002,"1"HKCU,"Control Panel\Desktop","SCRNSAVE.EXE",0x00000002,"%SystemRoot%\System32\logon.scr"Here I can change the default screensaver to my own, but how to delete other?I found the section with screensavers, but ...HKCU,"Control Panel\Screen Saver.3DFlyingObj",,0x00000012HKCU,"Control Panel\Screen Saver.3DPipes",,0x00000012HKCU,"Control Panel\Screen Saver.Bezier",,0x00000012HKCU,"Control Panel\Screen Saver.Marquee","BackgroundColor",0x00000002,"0 0 128"HKCU,"Control Panel\Screen Saver.Marquee","CharSet",0x00000002,"0"HKCU,"Control Panel\Screen Saver.Marquee","Font",0x00000000,"%SCREEN_SAVER_MARQUEE_FONT%"HKCU,"Control Panel\Screen Saver.Marquee","Mode",0x00000002,"1"HKCU,"Control Panel\Screen Saver.Marquee","Size",0x00000002,"24"HKCU,"Control Panel\Screen Saver.Marquee","Speed",0x00000002,"14"HKCU,"Control Panel\Screen Saver.Marquee","Text",0x00000002,"%SCREEN_SAVER_MARQUEE_TEXT%"HKCU,"Control Panel\Screen Saver.Marquee","TextColor",0x00000002,"255 0 255"HKCU,"Control Panel\Screen Saver.Mystify","Active1",0x00000002,"1"HKCU,"Control Panel\Screen Saver.Mystify","Active2",0x00000002,"1"HKCU,"Control Panel\Screen Saver.Mystify","Clear Screen",0x00000002,"1"HKCU,"Control Panel\Screen Saver.Mystify","EndColor1",0x00000002,"255 255 255"HKCU,"Control Panel\Screen Saver.Mystify","EndColor2",0x00000002,"255 255 255"HKCU,"Control Panel\Screen Saver.Mystify","Lines1",0x00000002,"7"HKCU,"Control Panel\Screen Saver.Mystify","Lines2",0x00000002,"12"HKCU,"Control Panel\Screen Saver.Mystify","StartColor1",0x00000002,"0 0 0"HKCU,"Control Panel\Screen Saver.Mystify","StartColor2",0x00000002,"0 0 0"HKCU,"Control Panel\Screen Saver.Mystify","WalkRandom1",0x00000002,"1"HKCU,"Control Panel\Screen Saver.Mystify","WalkRandom2",0x00000002,"1"HKCU,"Control Panel\Screen Saver.Stars","Density",0x00000002,"50"HKCU,"Control Panel\Screen Saver.Stars","WarpSpeed",0x00000002,"10"... here is only 6 of 10?

ALBERTKOHL Posted January 23, 2004 Posted January 23, 2004 i used the tweak to add an account and autologin and it wont stop trying to use that account. how can i turn it off? im not huge on reg tweaks ( here is the syntex:autologin.cmd:;net user "John" asdf1234 /add;net localgroup Administrators "John" /add;REGEDIT /S autologon.regEXITautologon.reg:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]"DefaultUserName"="John""DefaultPassword"="asdf1234""AutoAdminLogon"="1"
johann83 Posted January 23, 2004 Posted January 23, 2004 If you don't ever want it to autologin, just don't import the autologon.reg file (i.e remove the line REGEDIT /S autologon.reg from your autologin.cmd file. However, if you are like me and want it to autologin to install some apps and then reboot and not autologin anymore you can do the following. Once you are done with whatever you needed autologin for delete those three registry entries. To do it in a .REG file, you could do this:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]"DefaultUserName"=-"DefaultPassword"=-"AutoAdminLogon"=-Save the above code in a file (e.g. DelAutoLogin.reg) and import it silently using:REGEDIT /S DelAutoLogin.reg
gosh Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 Becko: this is a 'post your registry hack' thread, i recommend posting questions in seperate thread, otherwise this thread will have hundreds of pages and newbies will have to look through each page to find tweaks.If you want to remove screen savers, edit shl_img.inf (search the forum). You don't need to edit the registry to install a screensaver (ss), i assume the ss settings in hivedef.inf are custom settings, such as what the scrolling marque ss says.I don't recommend editing hivexxx.inf's because everytime a new service pack comes out you'll have to manually edit these files.You don't say when you are running you tweaks, so i dont know why you can't delete the ss and favorites. I would recommend deleting things like ss and favorites on first boot, in GUI mode.I recommend adding favorites in an unattend file. When you do that the favorites are put in the default user profile, which would fix your problem. Setupmgr will let you do this.-gosh
FPS|Howlin Posted January 27, 2004 Posted January 27, 2004 Is there any reg tweak at all to make desktop icontext transparent in an unattended install?
Becko Posted January 28, 2004 Posted January 28, 2004 I'm sorry gosh that I post this here. :-(I've continued it here. If you can help me I'll be very appreciate.GenoCide: Thank's about showing of Quck Launch.

This is documented in ref.chmIt does not work (My installation runs the hotfixes + some regtweaks at T13)After the reboot it shows te internet connection + add user screenThen it runs the administrator account + guirunonce + rebootAfter the reboot I can run an account for the first time (but even with:[Shell]DefaultStartPanelOff=Noit still had the classic start menu)
prathapml Posted January 30, 2004 Posted January 30, 2004 The default start menu look in XP now is the new style. So to get the win2k style start menu on XP, you'd have to disable the default start menu (I suppose that's clear).So, you simply have to put DefaultStartPanelOff=Yes. Now it will behave the way you want it to.There's "DefaultThemesOff=Yes" too, that setting will fetch you back the classic style windows desktop (the one without all the effects and eye-candy).:EDIT: no, just now saw that you actually want to have your XP-style start menu back. Maybe you have some registry tweak that locks your start menu to classic?Open the .reg files that you apply during install, and see if you know exactly what every line does. Don't use registry code which isn't properly documented, and delete those parts from the reg tweaks which you don't understand.
