Registry Tweaks, Part-1

[war59312]

What is the tweak to make the automatic updates box unticked? I do not want to turn off the service though.

EDIT: Would this work?

;Disable Autoupdates
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update]
"AUOptions"=dword:00000001
"AUState"=dword:00000007

Yeap thanks man was looking for that as well.

Btw does not work with SP1.

Here goes one I never saw in this thread.

Turn off transition effect for menus and tooltips, turn off smooth edges of screen fonts, and turn off Window Animation.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

;No Stupid Transition Effects Or Smooth Edges
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\desktop]
"FontSmoothing"="0"
"FontSmoothingOrientation"=dword:00000001
"FontSmoothingType"=dword:00000000
"UserPreferencesMask"=hex:90,12,01,80
"SmoothScroll"=dword:00000000

;No Stupid Window Animation
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics]
"MinAnimate"="0"

Hey,

Anyone know how to make Local Area Connection "Show icon in notification area when connected"?

Well I figured it out:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Network\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\{CB9067D9-010F-4124-B253-943EA34F01EC}\Connection]
"ShowIcon"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\{CB9067D9-010F-4124-B253-943EA34F01EC}\Connection]
"ShowIcon"=dword:00000001

Only problem is that the CB906 part changes every OS install. So guess there is nothing you can do about it.

Thanks a lot,

Will

I have two ones I could use some help with.

The first is to enable "Show Hidden Files and Folders"

Second is to uncheck "hide extensions for known file types"

Both are in the folder options.

And speaking of Local Area Connection. How does one have these unchecked by defuault:

Client for Microsoft Networks

File And Printer Sharing For Microsoft Networks

QoS Packet Scheduler

Oh yeah I would like to know this one as well.

Anyone?

On a side note, anyone know of the registry to turn off that annoying check on downloaded files? The one that asks, "are you sure you want to run this?"

Yes! I would like to know too how to disable this. It can be very annoying.

Notify if Download Complete in IE

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"NotifyDownloadComplete"="no"

What is the registry setting to enable ICON view instead of list view. Everyone seems to have the registry edit for List but not ICon and Im not sure what DWORd to use to change it? Thanks guys

[Vann]

I think File and Print Sharing and QoS can be disabled through winnt.sif, but I'm not sure how. If anyone has an answer I'd be very grateful, too.

[war59312]

Icon View.

@gabriel_buc

Is this YOUR file I found on another post (not by you)? I ask because it is quite lengthy and documented on what most of the things do. If it is, fantastic job.

As for the monstrosity of a thread, does anyone want to start a new one? Comb through this thread, document each tweak and post in a new topic?

Also, I don't know waht you people are talking about, I only show 29 pages

On a side note, anyone know of the registry to turn off that annoying check on downloaded files? The one that asks, "are you sure you want to run this?"

@Alanoll

Is the zip file in your sig every single tweak on msfn or is it gabriel_buc's super reg file?

@gabriel_buc

And if it is not were can i take a "look" at your super reg file

Well not sure how to do it but:

[NetServices]
Answer File = Unattend.txt and Sysprep.inf

The [NetServices] section contains entries for installing network services.

Entry Description 
network_service_name Specifies the section where you define entries for a network service. 

Sample
This sample demonstrates one use of the [NetServices] section of Unattend.txt.

[NetServices]
MS_Server = params.MS_Server

network_service_name
Specifies the section where you define entries for a network service.

Syntax network_service_name = service_entries_section 
Value service_entries_section 
Example MS_Server = params.MS_Server

Comments You must select the network service name from the Service ID column in the following table. The table describes each client and the components that automatically install. Service ID Description 
MS_NwSapAgent SAP Agent 
MS_PSched QoS Packet Scheduler 
MS_RasSrv Dial-Up Server 
MS_Server File and Print Services 
MS_WLBS Network Load Balancing (formerly known as Windows Load Balancing Service)

Notify if Download Complete in IE

CODE 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]"NotifyDownloadComplete"="no"

Thats not it.

Its when you try to run a file your just downloaded from your harddrive you get an annoying popup.

But anywho, I figured out to disable it.

[“HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\InternetSettings\Zones\0”]

Then simply alter the key called “Flags” to “1”, as below. After a restart, you’ll be able to access the “My Computer” zone.

You can disable it in the new mycomputer zone in the internet options>security zone.

After you install MS Office 2003, there's an annoying tray icon that asks you if you want to take the survey and such (I hate it).

This gets rid of it nicely:

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common\Internet]
"UseOnlineContent"=dword:00000002

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Common]
"QMEnable"=dword:00000000

@crahak

You are my saviour, I asked this question ages ago, and no one's known what to do about it yet!

disable CIEP in Office

Hey dudes,

there's a similar irritating "customer experience ------" infobar with Windows Messenger 4.7.3000 (WXP SP2) as well. Any ideas how to disable it there as well?

[war59312]

Disable Services.

I'm working on making all these tweak nice.

Enjoy,

Will
