Dudes:

yeah you are right about the gremlin with "add registry entry to right click"

Here is the correct one. I tested this one and it is working.

;-----

;----- Adds Registry Editor right click of MY Computer

;-----

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\regedit]

@="Registry Editor"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\regedit\command]

@="c:\\windows\\Regedit.exe"

Dont add the first line part with the Hex2 part.... This one:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}]

"LocalizedString"=hex(2):25,55,53,45,52,4e,41,4d,45,25,27,73,20,43,6f,6d,70,75,74,65,72,00

To get rid of the blocks r. Just delete that the first line of the old tweak (the localicedstring one) out of your registry and your computor name will be back to "my computor" and the regediter will still work on right click of "my computer"

I refer to this : DELETE OUT OF REGISTRY if you have used this old tweak and your computor name is "blocks r"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}]

"LocalizedString"=hex(2):25,55,53,45,52,4e,41,4d,45,25,27,73,20,43,6f,6d,70,75,74,65,72,00

ok, i need a tweak...is there a tweak for setting a desktop appearance? the files still go in themes and theres an msstyle file also, but I dunno where its stored in the registry...so if anyone knows how to apply a custom appearance, I would like to know...(this is when you right click desktop, properties, appearance tab, under windows and buttons.

EDIT: nm, I just made a theme file for it...for making a theme file, make sure you set my computer/my documents/netowkr places/recycle bin empty and full icons to your theme, or it messes things up...

Here is the correct one. I tested this one and it is working.

Use this instead so u won't be confined to only "C:\WINDOWS", the below uses %windir% variable instead

I've used the way hoverhead did but with systemvariable %systemroot%, making this tweak possible to every windows directory you choose.

I Also prefer this way because it makes possible to change @="Registry Editor" to @="Editor de Registo" for exemple, that is the same but translated to portuguese.

The add registry tweak to my computer is not working at all for me.

Yeah I'm an admin, etc and no restrictions are in place.

u need to use an expandable string to use variables, c my Registry Editor tweak on the previous page.

EDIT - oddbasket beat me - his works fine for me.

@Diabolical82 - I find it best to add the tweaks at T-12 so they're set for all users.

using same switch for runonceex can be used on cmdline?

EDIT: Nevermind I got it, but here's my new questions what about tweaks for office 2003, firefox, etc I think I should make seperate regtweaks one for T-12 and after RunOnceEx

Found a mistake with one of the Reg files...

;----- Change the Default Wallpaper to the one I want

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\General]

"BackupWallpaper"="c:\\windows\\web\\wallpaper\\MX1600.jpg"

"Wallpaper"="c:\\windows\\web\\wallpaper\\MX1600.jpg"

This doesn't appear to work. I have a jpg file in the correct place, but Windows wont load it. However, I've noticed Windows converts .jpg files to .bmp files and uses them instead. So what I did was copy the converted file to c:\\windows\\web\\wallpaper\, renamed it to MX1600.bmp, and this fixed the problem.

Also found a useful tweak for WindowBlinds users. Want to load a theme silently, try this...

1. With WindowBlinds loaded, install the Skin you want.

2. Copy the Skin Folder you want (should be under C:\Program Files\WindowBlinds\NAME OF THEME), into ($OEM$\$Progs\WindowBlinds\NAME OF THEME).

Now when you Silently install WindowBlinds, it will place the Theme into WindowBlinds folder on your C drive. To activate this theme, use the following Reg file...

[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1957994488-220523388-725345543-1003\Software\Stardock\WindowBlinds\WB5.ini\WBLiteFX]

"Skinset"="C:\\Program Files\\WindowBlinds\\NAME OF THEME\\NAME OF THEME.UIS"

"Skinset2"="NAME OF THEME"

Please note the "NAME OF THEME" is the name of the WindowBlinds theme (remember the WindowBlinds themes are loaded from the Appearance Tab\Windows and buttons section of Display Properties).

So in my example, I have a theme called Abracadabra. So I copy C:\Program Files\WindowBlinds\Abracadabra (about 3megs in size) to $OEM$\$Progs\WindowBlinds\Abracadabra.

Then I put the following Reg key in my Software.reg file (which installs after RunOnceEx.cmd)..

[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1957994488-220523388-725345543-1003\Software\Stardock\WindowBlinds\WB5.ini\WBLiteFX]

"Skinset"="C:\\Program Files\\WindowBlinds\\Abracadabra\\Abracadabra.UIS"

"Skinset2"="Abracadabra"

If somebody has an easier way, I'm all ears...

oh ok thanks man

Another question for the Registry Experts...

I use the following key to have all folders use the Detail Mode...

;----- Detail mode in all folder

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams]

"Settings"=hex:09,00,00,00,04,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,77,7e,13,73,35,cf,11,ae,\

69,08,00,2b,2e,12,62,04,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,43,00,00,00

My question: Is there a key that will make Control Panel's view Icons instead of Detail.

it works 100%
