Thanks a lot MCT. Should not be so problematic to find out now.

another addition

;-----  
;-----  Get a new Right-click menu option (command box)
;-----  
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\Command Prompt Here]
@="Command P&rompt Here"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\Command Prompt Here\command]
@="cmd.exe /k cd %1 "

So that you will have the option when right clicking on a drive as well and not only when clicking on a folder.

I've found this very useful to me in the past, hope it is to others too!

;Right click on directory to write full directory listing file
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\print\command]
@="cmd.exe /c dir /s > Dirlist.txt"

One thing that strikes me. Many of the settings in your Registry_Tweaks.txt exist more than once. For example, first you configure Alexa, and then later on you remove it... I know it is just for reference... but still.. Is that the file you are actually using?

building on this original information...the main reason I want a dir listing is so I can view it in say notepad (plus with the given extension of txt it kinda leads one to believe this is to be used with notepad)...so what I did is changed the string to reg_expand_sz and also added the command to open in notepad.exe after building dirlist.txt...a couple of things...I really hate have the filename show up in the dirlisting, so I defaulted dirlist.txt to be created in %temp% dir...this way, it gives you a clean representation of the directory list...you can change notepad.exe to wordpad, but I will leave that to someone else...without further ado, here is what I ended up with

Of course not. That file is a *MASSIVE* collection of lots of known tweaks. Personally, I just pick and choose what I want - so my OWN regtweaks.reg is only about 10% of what you see there.

Anyway to hide the cmd window though?

the problem is it runs notepad.exe from the command line...which means the cmd windows will be visible until notepad is closed...or I guess there is a way to get cmdow to hide the window, Ill run some tests.

If you just don't want it from start menu>Programs alone, just delete the shortcuts.

Otherwise, use the [Components] section in winnt.sif with IEaccess=off and OEaccess=off.

Oh, I see you don't want the IE and OE to be in stickies?

If so, I'll just dig out my registry collection and post the needed key here.
