Tweaker 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.

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

Prathapml (or whomever),

Should disable autorun dwords utilize: 000000b1 or 00000091?

Also, does the key end with 'Explorer' or actually end with 'NoDriveTypeAutorun'?

Example:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer\NoDriveTypeAutoRun]
"NoDriveTypeAutoRun"=dword:000000b1

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoDriveTypeAutoRun"=dword:000000b1

Or:

; disable Autorun for all Drive Types
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoDriveTypeAutoRun"=dword:00000091

I think I've been staring at these reg entries too long... *yawn*

;----- Show protected operating system files

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\SuperHidden]

"DefaultValue"=dword:00000001

should be

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

"ShowSuperHidden"=dword:00000001

========================

;Disable Hibernate, effective after reboot

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Power]

"Heuristics"=hex:05,00,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,3f,42,0f,00

Actually, I've got two entries - but not sure if one or both are required:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\SuperHidden]
"DefaultValue"=dword:00000001


[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"SuperHidden"=dword:00000001

Note that one is HKCU, whereas the other is HKLM. Does the LM entry set a systemwide property, whereas the CU only adjusts for that user?

REMOVE NEW SHELL EXTENSIONS OF MEDIA PLAYER 10 (ADD TO BURN LIST, ETC...) IN RIGHT-CLICK MENUS:

"ThreadingModel"="Apartment"

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{8DD448E6-C188-4aed-AF92-44956194EB1F}\InprocServer32]
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\wmpshell.dll"
"ThreadingModel"="Apartment"

I haven't suffered any side effects with this. If someone notice them, please report.

Another one:

THIS LET YOU SELECT PATHS FOR SYSTEM FOLDERS (MY DOCS, SEND TO, ETC...) (CAN BE USED IN AN UNATTENDED FRESH INSTALL):

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders]

Just edit the paths and export the string as a reg file.

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\CLSID

Also, 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

@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"

:wacko:

Systerm overload:

I see posts with "Heuristics"=

among other thing's

PEOPLE LISTEN UP - If its a long string value

Getting thing's set the way you like them then exporting those reg key's from your registry are the answer OK

Mine 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 example

Hibernation Off = "Heuristics"=hex:05,00,00,00,00,01,00,00,7a,03,00,00,04,00,00,00,ed,00,00,00

Hibernation On = "Heuristics"=hex:05,00,00,00,00,01,01,00,7a,03,00,00,04,00,00,00,ed,00,00,00

You see we're only changing one thing. Those other values change other things so you can't say this is Hibernation Off

@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. :hello:
