Registry Tweaks, Part-1


Recommended Posts

Here's a "no-hex" solution. :)

Put this in a BAT or CMD file:

(Substitute "d:\temp" for your location.)

@echo off

set mytemp=d:\temp

REG ADD "HKCU\Environment" /f /v "TEMP" /d "%mytemp%"

REG ADD "HKCU\Environment" /f /v "TMP" /d "%mytemp%"

I think this change only takes effect after reboot.l

Or in a REG file, enter the following:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment]

"TEMP"="D:\\temp"

"TMP"="D:\\temp"

(Again, replace "D:\\temp" with your directory.)

@Tribble: Try adding this registry edit to your .reg file:

; Fix "Show Super Hidden"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\SuperHidden]
"DefaultValue"=dword:00000001

Time for some input by me...

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]
"DesktopProcess"=dword:00000001

That little registry edit makes the desktop and explorer start with the same process. Any subsequent explorer Windows will open in their own processes.

Also, this edit:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AlwaysUnloadDLL]
"@"="1"

I've seen in many places that "AlwaysUnloadDLL" is a registry key, whereas in other places, they say it should be created as a value:

"AlwaysUnloadDLL"="1"

Now, my question is which one is which? Which works, which doesn't? Do they both work? Which one's prefered?

Hey..I know a few people were working on cleaning up this post. I guess there is no luck?

I tried and failed miserably.

I did have an idea...I think it may have been mentioned...

Start an all new post, 2 topics. 1 for requests, and for for solutions. And then allow people to slowly but surely copy over their individual tweaks, (not full reg codes, unless as an attachment).

Treat it like the Switches post....I know this has been discussed...but I keep tryin to search for reg edits, and i wanna hit myself cause I can't find any in the 62 pages of garbage.

Another idea would be to make a BIG category of switches on the main board, then divide up into things like "performance switches" "visual switches" "internet switches"

just to get a bit of organization in here.....

Never work ...

The only viable solution is a "caretaker" that is responsible for maintaining. It is that volunteer that seems so hard to find: it seems there are terribly few of us that do something for nothing ...

Remember, this IS the Internet, Anarchy, Freedom Of Speech and the First Amendment all rolled into one!

Found one not on the list

;Disable UNC /remote shortcut tracking

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]

"LinkResolveIgnoreLinkInfo"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]

"LinkResolveIgnoreLinkInfo"=dword:00000000

Heres one that is on:

I reckon NoResolveTrack should be ON and NoResolveSearch OFF so I modified it as such

;Disable comprehensive shortcut tracking

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]

"NoResolveTrack"=dword:00000000

"NoResolveSearch"=dword:00000001

I'd like to volunteer to lead a fix.

I dont think we can take the current post and fix it..but I would like to help admin a new Section of tweaks, as i mentioned before.

1 post for requests, 1 post for discussion, and then a couple posts for different categories of reg tweaks.

There would be no long code posts, no "look at my code, whats wrong with it" kind of thing. You can add that as an attachment, or whatever.

Just my 2 cents...

;Disable Security center
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center]
"FirstRunDisabled"=dword:00000000
"AntiVirusDisableNotify"=dword:00000001
"FirewallDisableNotify"=dword:00000001
"UpdatesDisableNotify"=dword:00000001
"AntiVirusOverride"=dword:00000001
"FirewallOverride"=dword:00000001
