Need a few final registry tweaks

[CrimsonKain]

Phew I've been searching these forums for hours now. Ok here's what I need:

Set IE homepage to about:blank

Disable "On resume, display welcome screen" (it's located in the screen saver tab of the display properties)

Also one to always enable the Windows Explorer status bar would be great.

Thanks for your help.

Look for a thread titled 'Registry Tweaks' - and set your search period to the last year or so.

All three of the registry tweaks you mentioned, are available in the "Registry Tweaks....." thread. Check it out.

As for IE's home-page, copy/paste (after customizing) the code-chunks below into winnt.sif as per your own needs

[branding]    BrandIEUsingUnattended=Yes

    AutoConfig=1

    Home_Page=about:blank

    Search_Page=http://www.google.com

    Help_Page=http://www.microsoft.com

    Quick_Link_1_Name = "Microsoft HomePage"

    Quick_Link_1 = http://www.microsoft.com

    Quick_Link_2_Name = "Search on the Internet"

    Quick_Link_2 = http://www.google.com://http://www.microsoft.com

 .../www.google.com

as for the 'Registry way'

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]"Start Page"="about:blank"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]"Show_StatusBar"="yes"

"Show_URLinStatusBar"="yes"

"StatusBarOther"=dword:00000001

did you tried to google for RegShot?? change the settings like you want and then look for registry changes

[CrimsonKain]

Ok thanks everyone. Only one left. I was gonna get RegShot when I first started reading the thread. Then since I only needed three more I figured it'd be easier. I'll go give it a shot now though.

Alright I think I got it. For the record this is what I found:

;Disable "On resume, display welcome screen"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"ScreenSaverIsSecure"="0"
