prathapml Posted December 2, 2004 Author Share Posted December 2, 2004 Please don't post large chunks of code without using appropriate tags.can someone plez tell me how to remove the INTERNET EXPLORER and OUTLOOK EXPRESS icon from the start menu?Yes, found it. The below code was not present in the attachment of first post.The below registry tweak will remove the "Pinned programs" list entirely. (i.e., IE and OE will go, and no other pinned programs will stay either). The "Most frequently used Programs" list that appears below IE/OE will stay.[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]"NoStartMenuPinnedList"=dword:00000001This needs to be applied at T-12 if you want it to apply for all users. Please post back whether this did what you wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jogy Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 Hi,First post here ... didn't know what to or rather how to search for a solution and hence this Is there some kind of registry entry that is there that would enable me to see the date in the sytem tray, beside the time? Like 05 10:35Am, where the 05 is todays date.Hope there is something like that!Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jogy Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 Well... Not exactly what I was looking for! I wanted a registery entry that would put a date in the systray. Something like Date (Format I choose)+ Time (Format I choose). Don't like having tons of programs run on startup and all ... just for a couple of basic fancy requirements!CheersBTW. that time format looks nice! Wonder if its possible with plain old XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted December 5, 2004 Author Share Posted December 5, 2004 Longhorn Clock Asta?Something similar is given by:SmartBarXPBut as far as modding the normal SysTray to include date goes, nope I haven't seen such a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SibTiger Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 I thought I had every possible useful tweak imaginable, and then I found this one. Isn't it annoying how in "My Computer" the drive description comes before the drive letter? This tweak puts the drive letter in front where it belongs. ; Show drive letters first[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]"ShowDriveLettersFirst"=dword:00000004All options: 0 = Default display (drive letters after description) 1 = Network drive letters first, Local drive letters after 2 = Descriptions only, no drive letters displayed 4 = Drive letters before description Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted December 6, 2004 Author Share Posted December 6, 2004 I have that tweak listed in the attachment which you can download from first-post of this thread. Try it, you'll find many new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SibTiger Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Ah, now I found it. I did a search of MSFN for "ShowDriveLettersFirst" and only came up with one obscure hit. That's why I didn't think it appeared anywhere.Perhaps you could change the description for this tweak in your master list. "Display drives in longhorn mode" is not very clear! I had seen that before, but didn't understand what it did. Also, the description for setting 4 "All drive letters shown" doesn't explain that the drive letters are moved in front of the description (which is the reason most people would use this tweak!) One more idea: would it also make sense to post the tweaks as text so this thread is "hit" in site searches?Thanks for the exhaustive list you've put together!
