;Disable Sound Scheme

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes]

@=".None"

those dont seem to work. Basically I wanna turn off sounds, and also make windows explorer uses details view and display the status bar. Am I missing something?

This reg tweak is for Nero and will show the real recording speed of a CD.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Ahead\Nero - Burning Rom\Recorder]
"ShowSingleRecorderSpeed"=dword:00000001

Cheers,

well I did find out how to do NO SOUND. you must set windows xp to no sounds, and then export the entire HKCU\App Events\Schemes - and then just copy it over to your registry. For some reason, just setting it to .None does not work. If you goto control panel\sounds you will see its set for No Sounds, but it still uses the default sounds...no idea why. Still havent figured out how to get Explorer and My Computer to display details and status bar (yes, I tried both versions posted here)

I am currently using

;Search with google

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchUrl\Ggl]

@="http://www.google.com/search?q=%s"

;Search with google from the address bar instead of MSN

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchUrl\G]

@="http://www.google.com/search?q=%s"

I want it to set itself as default to search when you type it in the Address Bar of IE, How can I do this?

Also, I want to be able to search www.dictionary.com and thesaurus.com without the toolbar that you need to download from these sites. How can I accomplish this?

All that does is disable activex control id's.  IE updates already do this.  Since it only blocks previous spyware, if a new spyware came out today it wouldn't stop it.  After time, the list of spyware would become outdated.

-gosh

As I said It's updated every week :)

And it comes with an uninstall version in a reg file.

I have been looking through the registry for a couple days now for the visual effects settings. I then got tired of looking for it so I decided to set them the way I want them, backup the entire registry, set all the visual effects options to on, and then restore the registry. After I restored the registry they were all still set to on wich leads me to believe the visual effects settings are not stored in the registry. Does anyone know where they are stored?

<<<<<EDIT

I am thinking they are in the Documents and Settings\%username%\NTUSER.DAT

I will run a few tests to find out.

<<<<<EDIT

Just finished the test. I took and replaced C:\Documents and Settings\Windows XP\NTUSER.DAT with the one from C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\NTUSER.DAT and it indeed changed all of the visual effects from my settings to windows xp default, along with alot of other things. I took my original ntuser.dat and put it back everything was back to normal. So I took ntuser.dat and put it in $OEM$\$Docs\Windows XP\ cause a user account called Windows XP is created automatically during setup. When unattended install finshes I have nothing to configure.

This also stores folder settings like the status bar and sound scheme. Anything that you can set in the registry and it looks like it is set in the control panel but isn't accually set is stored here aswell.

I don't know if this has been posted but I found this while looking for a solution for Chris Lee in this thread.

This is for changing Internet Explorer name.

;Change the name under IE icon on desktop

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CLSID\{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}]@="Internet SEXplorer"

I have here, two rather funky tweaks.

This first one is for registering any fonts you want to use if you've put them into $OEM$\$$\Fonts

If you've already got the fonts installed on your pc, export this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts (and then look for all the fonts you have placed in the $OEM$\$$\Fonts directory, and put them into their own reg file, or your pre-existing reg files).

Alternatively, make your own.

Example:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts]
"Adler (TrueType)"="Adler.ttf"
"JS_Eurostile Lithuanian Bold (TrueType)"="LEUROSTB.TTF"
"JS_Eurostile Lithuanian Normal (TrueType)"="LEUROSTN.TTF"
"JS_Eurostile Lithuanian Oblique (TrueType)"="LEUROSTO.TTF"
"JS_Eurostile Lithuanian Bold Oblique (TrueType)"="LEUROSTT.TTF"
"JS_Eurostile Lithuanian Extended-Bold (TrueType)"="LEURSTEB.TTF"
"JS_Eurostile Lithuanian Extended-Normal (TrueType)"="LEURSTER.TTF"

This second tweak was shown to me by Gosh, so kudos to him/her :)

If you want to automate the setting up of shares, then all you need to do is set the shares up before you install Windows (if you can), and export this key (including it subkeys):

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\Shares

This is an example of the regkey when exported:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\Shares]

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\Shares\Security is the key that appears to tell the share what permissions it has. In the above examples, Everyone has read only access.
