@maxXPsoft

This is incorrect as well:

;-----  Force DLL To Unload From Memory
;-----
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AlwaysUnloadDLL]
"Default"="1"

should be:

;-----  Force DLL To Unload From Memory
;-----
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]
"AlwaysUnloadDLL"="1"

I saw this in page 3

**maxXPsoft** · September 27, 2004

@XPero

I'm trying to figure out what you mean

Both of those are wrong man or

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AlwaysUnloadDLL]
@="1"

I think Microsoft has the correct way since, uhhh they wrote it. What you see on that MS link is the application of Regini.exe, it does not mean AlwaysUnloadDLL is on separate line as a Reg Value, it's a Key with a @ value.

@maxXPsoft

OK sorry, I think there has been always a lot of confusion about this regtweak. Happy to find the solution

ANNOUNCEMENT:

All tweaks upto this point have been added/corrected in the new v1.3 registry tweaks file. Thanks to JohnnyDo.

A modification to the mode of distributing tweaks - since most people seem to be double-clicking the .REG file directly, and don't choose only the tweaks they need. The file attached in first-post will have a .TXT extension, so that it will open in notepad, and you can see what you are going to apply.

First post updated, and time of last update added. Please re-download to enjoy the new set.

**JohnnyDo** · September 27, 2004

@Mercury

Thanks for the info, i'll update the reg file with the changes

@Mod

I'll update the file on my web site later tonight but still keep the v1.3 since this was just a clarification in describing the tweak. please feel free to update the first post. new file will be up by 9:00 EST.

Good idea on the .txt file extension, that way it'll force people who are not too sure about things to rename the file and at the same time force them to think about useing the reg file directly.

**prathapml** · September 28, 2004

Oh... that's a new set of tweaks hover head! Thanks for them.

But since its so difficult to sort thru them.. could you re-post a file which has only new tweaks, or the ones that need modification. So that they can be added.

ANNOUNCEMENT:

Spent many, many hours with this. Many new tweaks, updates/modifications to existing ones. Re-download from attachment to first post to get 'em. UPDATED FIRST POST WITH TIME OF LAST UPDATE.

If you have PerfectDisk V6, the following will turn on aggressive free space consolidation, check all of the offline defrag options, turn off the "Use master browser", turn off logging to a file but leave on logging to the event log, and uses the default setting for file layout.

I've been using this successfully at a client with almost 100 workstations for a few months now. I have not tested it on a machine with more than one hard disk as all of these computers only have a C drive. And I left the networking feature on, but master browser off, because NETBIOS is not used on the network (DNS only).

For the license key part, you will need to look in your registry to get the hex conversion. If you put it in there, then you wont have to worry about that either.

**toe_cutter** · September 28, 2004

On the custom shell settings and the custum(e) visual settings, could you explain a bit more what each setting does exactly or refer to the setting in windows please?

Also, the hkey_current_user only applies to the user logged in, not all, right? So if i just replace all of them with the hkey_local_machine it would apply to all users, not just the user thats currently logged in?

;Fix for DSO Exploit that Spybot complains about
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\0]
"1004"=dword:00000003

I've tested this tweak and it does work (just make sure it's applied during the T12/svcpack.inf/cmdlines.txt stage so it's applied to the .Default user.

This fix is also included in my forthcoming XPSP2 update package.
