Noise Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 evilvoiceTweaker is right, that's how you turn on the status bar in XP[sP2]. It works. If XP see's the "StatusBarOther"=1 then it turns on the statusbar. Your way probably works too. Keep this in mind with working with the esoteric parts of MS products - there's often numerious ways to do the same thing.
Screwz Luse Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 Thanks a lot guys. These definately help. I really appreciate it.
evilvoice Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 well, you are right...hmmm, coulda sworn someone said it didnt work...but good job.
cola99 Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 Does anyone know the reg. tweak for this... My Computer-->Tools-->Folder Options-->View-->Restore Defaults. Thanks
Powerhouse Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 Found some interesting Registry tweaks from TweakHounds SuperTweaks guide.For example, here is one that is listed on this site, but is different on the TweakHounds page...These allow you to end tasks faster, shut down faster and speed up the menu display. *All Levels[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]"ForegroundLockTimeout"=dword:00000000"HungAppTimeout"="4000""MenuShowDelay"="200""WaitToKillAppTimeout"="5000"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control]"WaitToKillServiceTimeout"="5000"...and here is a new one...This setting gives a boost to priority of foreground applications. In very overly-simplified terms, what you see on the screen gets more attention from the CPU than what you can't.[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\PriorityControl]"Win32PrioritySeparation"=dword:00000026

evilvoice Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 DISABLE "SHARING" TAB IN FOLDERS PROPERTIES and REMOVE "SHARING AND SECURITY" IN RIGHT-CLICK MENU reg keys actually do the same thing...HKLM\Software\Classes\CLSID is the same as HKCR\CLSIDAlso, I dont have this CLSID on my pc with WMP10...I believe that if you use my howto to integrate wmp10, you dont have this key...REMOVE "OPEN AS A PORTABLE DEVICE" WHEN RIGHT-CLICKING FLOPPY (WITH MEDIA PLAYER 10 INSTALLED)Other than that, good finds...it should be noted that you could actually remove the entire key and itd still do the same thing...(just remove inprocserver32 and add a - in front of HKEY - tested removing the entire key and it worked)...Another thing...there is actually 2 disk quota clsid's...the first one is right above the clsid for DISABLE "QUOTA" TAB IN HARD DISKS PROPERTIES
XPero Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 @evilvoice: Thank you for the corrections. I just tried these and they worked fine, so I posted them. Anyway, thank you again It would be great if you post your corrections ready to "copy and paste", so they can be included in the "RegistryTweaks.txt"

maxXPsoft Posted October 23, 2004 Posted October 23, 2004 (edited) Systerm overload:I see posts with "Heuristics"= among other thing'sPEOPLE LISTEN UP - If its a long string valueGetting thing's set the way you like them then exporting those reg key's from your registry are the answer OKMine and your's may differ by 1 byte which make's you posting these tweak's wrong for me and other's. Just point them to the value/key they need.A simple reg tweak like dword 1 or "yes" is ok but when it come's to those long string setting's, export your's after you get it set the way you like. You can use these as an example or to find the key you need to export.Thats one reason I added FLAGS to my own Unattend app, to get the setting's like I like them, not the way you have them.EDIT: Figured I'd show you what I mean...Heres that Heuristics for exampleHibernation Off = "Heuristics"=hex:05,00,00,00,00,01,00,00,7a,03,00,00,04,00,00,00,ed,00,00,00Hibernation On = "Heuristics"=hex:05,00,00,00,00,01,01,00,7a,03,00,00,04,00,00,00,ed,00,00,00You see we're only changing one thing. Those other values change other things so you can't say this is Hibernation Off Edited October 24, 2004 by maxXPsoft
XPero Posted October 23, 2004 Posted October 23, 2004 @maxXPsoft: Ok sorry, but the CLSID is common for every computer, isn't it? So people interested in these reg tweaks may delete them safely. If you know well the registry you can make the correct tweaks with the information given in my previous posts.
