Numinous Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 there isnt one.. i read it in a booksearch the hivedef.inf for the U_SHELL_FOLDERS_APPDATA variable and just add your new paths to the variables under itheres a hint for the power policy always onlook in hivedef.inf at the [strings] section at the endPOWERPOLICIES_3_NAME="Always On"and so change the lineHKCU,"Control Panel\PowerCfg",CurrentPowerPolicy,0x00000002,"0"toHKCU,"Control Panel\PowerCfg",CurrentPowerPolicy,0x00000002,"3"....................HKCU,"Control Panel\Desktop","ScreenSaveActive",0x00000002,"1"i suppose you could change the value to "0" ..just a guess not tested but im guessing they work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numinous Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 not sure how this works but heres the reg states foropen each folder in the same window[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CabinetState]"Settings"=hex:0c,00,02,00,1a,01,e7,77,60,00,00,00and open each folder in its own window[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CabinetState]"Settings"=hex:0c,00,02,00,3a,01,e7,77,60,00,00,00obviously the other bits refer to other settings :/best thing to do is set your settings and take a snapshot of this key Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marztabator Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 Thanks for finding one of 'em for me, Numinous! Hmmm, I've been looking at the HIVESYS.INF file, and I don't think I can implement all of my tweaks in there, like most of the Service tweaks for instance. If they're not listed properly in the INF in the first place, then I don't want to risk breaking it.Any further advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numinous Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 some things just cannot be done in hives ..disabling services for example.. still scratching my head on this one although i did add lines in to the hives trying to redirect folders ..didnt work for redirecting but may for other things.. setup didnt fail and finished what i was trying did fail.. so it may be possible to add keys in that arent there ..at your own risk!!! i take no responsibility for damage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
