Well Desktop Cleanup Wizard is not a balloon tip.

It "Destop cleanup moves unused desktop items to a folder." Every 60 days.

So disableing it with above key will stop this form happening.

To see right click desktop and properties. Then Desktop tab and click "Customize Desktop..." button and at the very bottom of that window is the desktop cleanup junk.

Anyone know how to remove Undo Delete context menu from the desktop? It appears right after the new menu. Like when you delete something to the recycle bin.

I keep clicking it on accident. Very annorying. I never use it so would like to get rid of it.

Not in ShellExView either.

Thanks,

Will

Also, would like to get rid of Undo Copy. Same menu.

One that I love and have no found here is exporting my favorites within Regedit to a reg hack :D

This code adds 5 favorites in RegEdit.

HKLM Run & HKCU Run for removing junk that loads on startup (Yeah I know about MSConfig)

HKLM Explorer & HKCU Explorer the center of all great hacks :)

And last but not least Winlogon which I use more at work but still useful to have one click away.

; Add Favorites for common places in Regedit.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Regedit\Favorites]
"Run (HKCU)"="My Computer\\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run"
"Explorer (HKCU)"="My Computer\\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer"
"Run (HKLM)"="My Computer\\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run"
"Explorer (HKLM)"="My Computer\\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer"
"Winlogon"="My Computer\\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\Winlogon"

I hate the clutter of unused Context Menus. I personally use the "Play In Winamp" context menu several times daily but never use the Bookmark or Enqueue context menus. So I found the keys to delete to clean this up.

In WinAMP v5+ you can goto Options, Preference, File Types and uncheck "Show Winamp in folder context menus in Windows Explorer"

This will remove all Winamp context menus.

However I like the Play in Winamp context so I remove all but that.

; Removes Winamp Bookmark Context Menu when right clicking on folders
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Winamp.Bookmark]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Winamp.Bookmark\command]

; Removes Winamp Bookmark Context Menu when right clicking on items
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Winamp.File\shell\ListBookmark]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Winamp.File\shell\ListBookmark\command]

; Removes Winamp Enqueue Context Menu when right clicking on folders
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Winamp.Enqueue]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Winamp.Enqueue\command]

; Removes Winamp Enqueue Context Menu when right clicking on items
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Winamp.File\shell\Enqueue]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Winamp.File\shell\Enqueue\command]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Winamp.File\shell\Enqueue\DropTarget]

; Removes Winamp Enqueue Context Menu when right clicking on playlists
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Winamp.Playlist\shell\Enqueue]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Winamp.Playlist\shell\Enqueue\command]

This is an old throw back from the NT days but I still do it to this day. Your logs would take about a year to get to 1MB under normal conditions. I like having too much history rather than none :) It will only start purging when it has 1MB and it purges the oldest history first so you will essentially always have one year's worth of data :) But who leaves a server let alone a PC up for a year without reinstalling nowadays lol

I use the following.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
; Disable Welcome Screen, Use Classic Logon
"LogonType"=dword:00000000

You mean the Welcome login screen not right? If not here is the code to get rid of the Welcome to Windows.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\tips]
; Disable Welcome To Windows
"Show"=dword:00000000

Oh so you are autologging in but you see the "Welcome" screen as your profile loads?

This should get rid of that.

; Enable Ctrl+Alt+Del requirement at Classic logon screen
"DisableCAD"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]

If by chance it breaks your autologin use this.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"DefaultUserName"="USERNAME"
"DefaultPassword"="PASSWORD"
"AutoAdminLogon"="1"

@ war59312:

hmm yeah...I dont understand how I could have missed your reply back then :huh::blushing:

Anyway, I tried those registry command just some minutes ago and it seems to be working :)

I'm curious...can I leave out some of those registry keys or are all those keys necessary to disable the whole thing?

What is the main registry key that disables the problem I have?
