ravashaak Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 As far as I know, you can't use variables such as %systemroot% or %systemdrive% for registry tweaking. - Ravashaak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravashaak Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 Hmmm. It *may* be possible to perform this by using an inf file. Not that familiar with that particular method. I've been meaning to learn it as well, but there never seems to be enough time in my day.Anyone clarify if this would work for using system variables (such as %systemdrive%) to tweak the registry via inf file? - Ravashaak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHz Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 I use variables for reg entries often. e.g. %systemroot%, %systemdrive% etc.The inf method requires variables such as %11%, %20% and so on.For inf creation, Willypad has a wiz to make them. Great help guide as well.Get it here. http://www.ifrance.com/snoopy81/WillyE.htm . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

testChihuahua Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Hi,Sorry for boring you again, but I search the registry entries from the XPantispy.I have found many entries from antispy here in this post, but not all at this time.I want to add all these entries automaticly with my regtweaks.reg, because this is easier as starting antispy every time after my unattended installation.greetingstestchihuahua Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

war59312 Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 I have never had any luck getting small icons in explorer to stick machine-wide with a .reg file. And when I do get it to work it only does so for my user only.Here is how I got small icons in Explorer (and Internet Explorer) to work machine-wide:set icon=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorerreg add %icon%\SmallIcons /v SmallIcons /t REG_SZ /d yes /fSave as .cmd (or .bat) and call it via cmdlines.txt or after or whenever (you can even do it right now). It doesn't require a restart.Not working though I still get:C:\winxp\$OEM$>ieSmallC:\winxp\$OEM$>set icon=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ExplorerC:\winxp\$OEM$>reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\SmallIcons /v SmallIcons /t REG_SZ /d yes /fThe operation completed successfullyC:\winxp\$OEM$>So I restarted and they are still big.
