Hi Guys,

Is there a working registry tweaks that saves the Visual Effects setting which is located in "Control Panel > System > Performance > Visual Effect"? I notice when i change the settings and then go the Registry editor, nothing changes shows up. I also tried to use a registry tracer with such luck too. That's what puzzle me. Any hints guys onthis?

Also, is there one for the Views Option for Windows Explorer?

-Kenneth

got some more great tweaks from Terminator's site: XP-WIN2K3 Mods

;Broadband Tweak for Windows XP
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters]
GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize="256960"
TcpWindowSize="256960"
Tcp1323Opts="1"
DefaultTTL="64"
EnablePMTUDiscovery="1"
EnablePMTUBHDetect="0"
SackOpts="1"
TcpMaxDupAcks="2"
MTU="1500"
;Disable automatic codec downloads (Media Player)
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Preferences]
"UpgradeCodecPrompt"=dword:00000000
Ok, what exactly does the Broadband tweak do?  Is it compatible with ALL computers?
And on my machine, the Media Player settings you lot mention on here are in HEX format, not DWORD. :)
And someone posted a Windows Mouse Fix on here at some point - is that useful for anything in particular?  It seemed to make my mouse speed act somewhat slower than the default.

Termy, I've just realised that you got the whole Broadband Tweak thing typed out wrong!
a]  You forgot to put the quotes on the setting titles, and
b]  The settings are meant to be in DWORD format, not how you've got it.
Here's how I believe it's meant to be laid out:
;Broadband Tweak for Windows 2000/XP/2003
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters]
"GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize"=dword:0003ebc0
"TcpWindowSize"=dword:0003ebc0
"Tcp1323Opts"=dword:00000001
"DefaultTTL"=dword:00000040
"EnablePMTUDiscovery"=dword:00000001
"EnablePMTUBHDetect"=dword:00000000
"SackOpts"=dword:00000001
"TcpMaxDupAcks"=dword:00000002
"MTU"=dword:000005dc
Unless your version actually worked properly and perfectly on your system (lord knows what sort of XP you've got, what with your Win2K3 winntbbu.dll and all... :):D), I believe I've solved a little something here... :rolleyes:

And another thing, are you sure that the following tweaks are fully compatible with ALL computers?
;RAM usage tweaks
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management]
"DisablePagingExecutive"=dword:00000001
"LargeSystemCache"=dword:00000001
"IoPageLockLimit"=dword:1bf00000
"SecondLevelDataCache"=dword:00000100

;AMD Processor Fix
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management]
"LargePageMinimum"=dword:ffffffff
I use an AMD Athlon XP 2000+ with 512Mb RAM.  Do the tweaks need to be altered or left as they are?

For the past 2 dayds, I have being testing and verifying various registry tweaks that I found. So far, I come across this two tweaks that I cannot get to work but seem everyone is using. How many of you got this working? If so, is there a special process such you have to apply it during a new installation? Because all my testing are tested on already installed Windows.
The way that I tested my tweaks is that I either logff and log back on or reboot my computer. 
;Disable Remove the prefix "Shortcut to" when creating a new shortcuts.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]
"Link"=hex:00,00,00,00

;Disable Group similar taskbar buttons
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"TaskbarGlomming"=dword:00000000
What is this registry tweak for? I find it in one of the post but when I tried, nothing happen or at least didn't find any changes takes place after I applied.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"ShowAttribCol"=dword:00000001
Has anyone successful create a registry tweaks for the various Visual Effects (Control Panel > System > Advance Tab > Performance) ? The one that I'm particular interested is to disable the "Common Tasks in Folder".
Also, another registry tweak I'm interested is switch from default Icon Views to Detail Views in Windows Explorer.
-Kenneth

"SecondLevelDataCache"=dword:00000100
I use an AMD Athlon XP 2000+ with 512Mb RAM.  Do the tweaks need to be altered or left as they are?
"SecondLevelDataCache"=dword:00000100
With most computers now having L2 caches larger than that it pays to take the time to change the setting to correspond to the size of the cache memory installed.
100 = 256KB
200 = 512KB
