where in the above code do I fix to make my [start menu NOT CLASSIC], make the [folder view as LIST not tiles], [# of programs in start menu to 3 instead of 10], [remove show internet & email in start menu], [remove "set program Access and Defaults" off the start menu] and [make my computer to default name "My Computer" (I use this code from a RegTweak post and it is from some obviously that some1 is a chinese person and rename My Computer into some Chinese name)] Any help is higly appreciated. Thank You.

This will remove "set program Access and Defaults" off the start menu:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"Start_ShowSetProgramAccessAndDefaults"=dword:00000000

If your Start Menu is showing in classic mode, you probably have this in your winnt.sif, remove it:

[Shell]
   DefaultStartPanelOff=Yes

[AznStyl]

in my winnt.sif I don't have

[Shell]
  DefaultStartPanelOff=Yes

so I assume its in somewhere in the above code that I've pasted

[Anderz]

Dude, you have to ADD it to your winnt.sif!

[AznStyl]

If your Start Menu is showing in classic mode, you probably have this in your winnt.sif, remove it:

[Shell]
   DefaultStartPanelOff=Yes

He said remove it if its in winnt.sif did he not? or I might be mistaken? clarification is needed...

No where in the code you provided can these things be accomplished.

As far as the classic start menu goes, do NOT put "DefaultStartPanelOff=Yes" in your winnt.sif if you want the XP style start menu.

Are those the only registry settings you have? If not, please 'attach' your .reg file.

You should be able to find most of the tweaks you want by searching...

Edit: change a to 3: "Start_MinMFU"=dword:00000003

for the number of Programs in the start menu.

[AznStyl]

If none of the code above can't do the job then which registry will I need to have inorder to have it the way that I wanted as mention above?

P.S

I've already search thru the forum and has read the regtweak thread and couldn't find the one that I've wanted... or maybe I miss it by any chance? but I surely checked it a lot b4 I post.

Thanks for helping

Here are my RegTweak.reg

RegTweaks.reg

Edited September 1, 2004 by AznStyl

The classic start menu setting is stored in this value:

;Turns off the recycle bin delete confirm

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]"ShellState"=hex:24,00,00,00,37,88,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\

01,00,00,00,0d,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,01,00,00,00

Change the 1 to a 3. That should give you the xp style while keeping your delete confirmation turned off.

You may want to export that from your own registry as there may be other things in there that you don't want. Off the top of my head, I don't know what other settings are stored there.

[AznStyl]

Thanks jrzycrim, a few more reg tweaks to go...

[jrzycrim]

Remove this:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}]
"LocalizedString"=hex(2):25,55,53,45,52,4e,41,4d,45,25,27,73,20,43,6f,6d,70,75,74,65,72,00

That's the tweak which is renaming 'My Computer'.

[AznStyl]

Wow that was fast... jrzycrim thanks

[evilvoice]

hmm, whats the difference in the recycle bin posted above and "nuke on delete"?

;No Move to Recycle Bin
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\BitBucket]
"NukeOnDelete"=dword:00000001

[jrzycrim]

The former disables the prompt which asks you if you want to send something to the recycle bin. The above tweak just cause a file to be deleted outright without moving it to the recycle bin.

I believe the tweak for the default folder view settings is stored here:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Defaults]

If you want list view applied to all folders you will have to do just that: Set a folder for list view, go to folder options and apply to to all folders, log off and then back on and then export that key to use in your tweak file.

AznStyl, are you using vmware or VPC to test your CD?

[AznStyl]

jrzycrim once again thanks for your time. Now just one more question.

When I do the unattended cd and tested it with VMWare the logon name is Administration. Now, how can I change that "Administration" to something that I want. for ex. AznStyl perhaps?

Thank You.

[jrzycrim]

I don't recall off hand. I just use Administrator myself.

For your Start menu settings, specifically the internet and email icons, you should install your cd to vmare. After installation, you should go in and tweak your start menu to your preferences, turn off the internet and email icons, pin stuff you want, etc, log off then back on (insided vmware) and then export this key:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartPage]

Use those settings for your next install.
