For those of you testing SP2 build 2120, just a little warning.

I found those two lines in my registry tweaks collection that don't work on that build. Regedit reports processes are opened and can't apply the changes.

But still everything else got applied, it just skipped these with a warning.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system]
"DisableStatusMessages"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system]
"NoInternetOpenWith"=dword:00000001

Please dont get angry at me for putting up my entire reg tweaks list! But I want to make it the most comprehensive one ever!

So.. here goes:

------------------------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT NOTE: You MUST edit the file and modify it according to your system! Do not directly apply the reg file without customizing it first!

Please feel free to modify the file in any way you wish, but maintain the original format and do not delete any tweaks (comment it instead)

Download : RegTweaks_10c.reg (40 K)

Edit: Alternate Link

Removed the rather large regedit file, seeing as there is also a download link. - Alanoll

Open Regedit and browse over to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

Create the following values by right clicking in the right side pane:

Value name: AllowLegacyWebView

Value type: DWORD

Value data: 1

Value name: AllowUnhashedWebView

Value type: DWORD

Value data: 1

Value name: RevertWebViewSecurity

Value type: DWORD

Value data: 1

After you do that, make sure that you reset the folder view settings:

In Windows Explorer, click Tools, and then click Folder Options.

On the View tab, click Reset All Folders.

That didnt help Show common Tasks in folders is still inactive....

Any more ideas?

Here is what have happend(attached file)...

The radio-button is unavailable and i have no idea how to fix it...

This is starting to p*** me off... Please help...

getting desperate....

Okej... ive solved the problem

Had to look through the registry 2 times to see it... had WebView and Classic Shell on werd parameters!

Anyway... tweaking is good but sometimes can drive you mad... hehe...

Can someone post a really good tweak files? mostly perfomance upgrades prefered...

I just did Its in the previous page

Ahh.. you mean that huuuge tweak-list... hehe... ill check it out

LADIES!

Please do not post your tweaks in here if they go for more than 40 lines.

Instead, please save it into a .reg file, and put it into a .zip or .rar file, and have it hosted externally and link to it, OR USE THE DAMNED FILE ATTACHMENT TOOL!

Thank you.

Saves us from having to scroll through 500+ lines of text.

the worst part is, is that he did post a link to it, AFTER the code block. I'll remove the block.

Also, just as a little reminder, they the attachment thing is good, after you question has been answered and you posted a IMAGE, do remove the attachment. It saves bandwidth.

Thanks Alanoll

okie...removed my image

For those of you testing out SP2 -- is there a reg tweak to turn off the firewall, since it turns itself on by default?

Yes. Disable the Firewall service using this:

;Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) / Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) Service
;default: manual/automatic (home/pro) - dword:3 (home) or dword:2 (pro)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess]
"Start"=dword:4

And you'll probably need to use this too:

;configures firewall for windows xp service pack 2 RC1
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile]
"EnableFirewall"=dword:00000000

I have made a tweak so that the sound volume is set to max.

On my one pc it works great don't know if it wil work on yours. You have to try it.

Only the cd-player , line in and pc beep aren't set to max. Perhaps I will look in to that but dont know when I don't use these thing anyway.
