Registry Tweaks, Part-1


Recommended Posts


You can disable hibernation in an unattend file

hibernation=no i believe is the right switch, consult ref.chm.

Or in control panel\power options, there's a tab i believe and you uncheck the box for hibernation.

Hi, I just stumbled onto MSFN a week ago and since them have spent about 90% of my time on the web here. It's an amazing source of information and a great community.

Anyway, not to beat on an old topic, but I have another question related to the microsoft multimedia keyboard with the f-lock. I am using the reg code to turn on f-lock by default but what I want to know is if there is a way to remap what some of the buttons do when f-lock is off. Specifically can I map say cut and paste to a couple of the buttons that I dont use?

Awesome tips!

But there´s three tips I´m searching for that I can´t seem to find:

i use the IE and explorer throb off reghack but that also removes the standardbuttonbars...is there a way to restore that in the registry?

Is it possible to turn on shadows on the desktop icons text?

And is it possible to turn the large icons in the classic start menu into small icons? Just like kukris asked... :)

Here's a warning - the code below is NOT compatible with all computers.  Use this at your own risk.  If you have an ATi video card and 1GB of ram or more the tweak "LargeSystemCache=dword:00000001" will cause serious data corruption.  Its happened to me.  The L2 cache "tweak" has proven useless.  Install it if you wish, but it has absolutely ZERO effect.  Its a leftover from Windows NT days when L2 cache was off-die.

;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

The IRQ priority "tweak" (posted before this one) also does absolutely nothing.  Again, I've had it enabled in the registry and it doesn't seem to do any harm, but it doesn't do any good either.

The 2nd level data cache and IRQ "tweaks" are probably the two most common useless-tweaks I see all over the internet!

I just want to point out that you can use that tweak (the one with the ATi card and 1GB of RAM) if you set your AGP (name escapes me at the moment...) to 64MB or less. I have mine set at that and have 1GB of RAM and an ATi card, it works.
