Could Someone check if my RegTweaks are ok?

[mniceguy81]

Hi i was wondering if this tweaks are ok , because some of them work and some don't work.

and by the way they are not mine i got all of them from the hard working people of MSFN Forum, who are the best.

I did try to put it in Registry Tweaks Forum but touched wrong button.

could one of the Group leaders please forward it to the Registry Tweaks forum

My_RegTweaks.txt

;Show Desktop icon on Quicklaunch

stuff below that line does not look like as if it belongs in the registry

also be aware that lines with a semicolon are commented out and therefore not applied, such as the whole section ";Broadband Tweak for Windows XP"

swgreed i'm sorry but i did not understand the answer you gave could you be more specific please.

swgreed is saying that this...

;Show Desktop icon on Quicklaunch
[Shell]
Command=2
IconFile=explorer.exe,3
[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop

...does not belong in the registry ... and it's true. It doesn't!

Lines beginning with a semicolon ( are comments only and doesn't need to be in the reg file at all.

;Change MenuShowDelay (Start Menu load speed)

;Speed up shutdown

;Kills services after 1 second if it is hung instead of default 20.  Faster shutdown

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]"AutoEndTasks"="1"

"HungAppTimeout"="100"

"MenuShowDelay"="1"

"WaitToKillAppTimeout"="1000"

"WaitToKillServiceTimeout"="1000"

Move WaitToKillServiceTimeout to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control.

;Show Desktop icon on Quicklaunch

[shell]Command=2

IconFile=explorer.exe,3

[Taskbar]

Command=ToggleDesktop

Like others said, this isn't a registry tweak, it's the code that the "Show Desktop"-icon uses to toggle the desktop (open up the file in notepad and you see exactly the same code). The "Shop Desktop"-icon is by default shown in the "Quick Launch"-bar, so you can remove that tweak alltogether.

;Speed up Browsing Explorer And Internet Explorer

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RemoteComputer\NameSpace\{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}]

;Speeding up browsing of Microsoft networks

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RemoteComputer\NameSpace\{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}]

These are the same tweaks, just commented differently.

;Disables Windows File Protection

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]"SFCDisable"=dword:ffffff9d

Note that this tweak is right in XP (SP1), but in SP2, you will have to use SFCSetting instead of SFCDisable.

;Disable links folder in explorer favorites so it never appears again.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar]"LinksFolderName"=-

"LinksFolderName"=""

"Locked"=dword:00000001

Remove the "LinksFolderName"=- line.

;Enables Command Prompt to Right Click

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Command]""="Command Prompt"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Command\command]

""="cmd.exe /k cd %1"

Replace "" with @.

Well, I believe that's it. Happy tweaking

This entire section is commented out:

;Change the default Wallpaper
;[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\General]
;"BackupWallpaper"=C:\\windows\\Resources\\Themes\\MediaCenter\\Wallpaper\\MediaCenter.jpg
;"Wallpaper"=C:\\windows\\Resources\\Themes\\MediaCenter\\Wallpaper\\MediaCenter.jpg

This is actually the default in WinXP, but there's no harm in leaving it:

;This allows boot files to be placed optimally on the hard-drive for faster boots.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Dfrg\BootOptimizeFunction]
"Enable"="Y"

This is enabled by default too, I believe:

;Enables Autorun
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoDriveTypeAutoRun"=dword:00000000

another default:

;Enables Always Prompt User When Downloading
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions]
"AlwaysPromptWhenDownload"=-

You might wany to cuustomize this to fit your contry (google.ca, for example)

;Makes Google IE's Default Search Engine
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"Search Page"="http://www.google.com"
"Search Bar"="http://www.google.com/ie"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchURL]
""="http://www.google.com/keyword/%s"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search]
"SearchAssistant"="http://www.google.com/ie"

There's a lot more defaults in there than the ones I've covered. Keep in mind that there's no harm in leaving it alone

If you're NOT on broadband, you might as well get rid of that broadband stuff

Hate to be nickpicky, but there are also some grammar errors in your comments. This DOES NOT affect the tweaks in any way.

@Tsunami: Are you sure about the SFCSetting thing? I don't want a bunch of angry file pack users on my case

[evilvoice]

the "disable links folder" tweak is correct...this was the only, i repeat ONLY way to get xp to remove the stupid thing...so dont tell him to delete that line...for some reason, in my case, it needed to be delete altogether, then recreated, then locked...this is one of the fixed tweaks I thought I never posted, so I have no idea how he got it, but who knows...
