Registry Tweaks

@ msfn11
I think you should have created another thread for this.
You could always Save your Policy Settings in a Template from the MMC and apply the template during the installation.

How can you save policy setting in a template.???

thanks

**prathapml** · January 3, 2005

Don't bother with templates...

I startup reg-shot, then disable the policy (and take 1st shot). Then, enable the policy and take 2nd shot. This way, when you compare you know which registry key is actually being modified. After that, add the newly found key to your .REG and that's it, you're done.

@prathapml

You didn't explain me the registery that I had posted. Will you going to explain me? thanks

Another way would be to download the Policy Setting Reference Spreadsheet for XP SP2 . All the settings have their registry locations listed within it. Also from the link you should get links to information on Administrative Template (.adm) files.

Thanks a lot prathapml,

Well anyone know the Event Viewer one?

Cause this is not working for some reason.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\eventvwr]
@="Event Viewer"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\eventvwr\command]
@="eventvwr.msc"

**prathapml** · January 4, 2005

It won't work, because .msc files are not executables... They are MMC console snap-ins. Try this, it should work:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\eventvwr]
@="Event Viewer"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\eventvwr\command]
@="mmc.exe %%SYSTEMDRIVE%%\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM32\\eventvwr.msc"

What this does is to call MMC.exe which then plugs eventvwr.msc into itself.

**war59312** · January 4, 2005

Or you can just use eventvwr.exe.

Hehe Did not even relize that existed. Prettys sweet cause you can use it to look at logs of other pcs too.

2Yzöwl: Yep, this spreadsheet is really great thing!

**weebl** · January 4, 2005

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but here I go.

I successfully made a near perfect CD and it did all it should have, but one thing annoys me a bit. I used these tweaks to remove the notification bubbles from Security Center, but now also the "shield" is gone.

;Disable Anti-virus Notifications
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center]
"AntiVirusDisableNotify"=dword:00000001

;Disable Firewall Notifications
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center]
"FirewallDisableNotify"=dword:00000001

;Disable Automatic Updates Notifications
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center]
"UpdatesDisableNotify"=dword:00000001

I'd like the icon back in the tray only without the bubbles!

Is it possible, or do I have to choose one or the other?

**prathapml** · January 4, 2005

Having the "shield" icon not present there is no worry at all...

Because the "shield" only appears there when it wants to annoy you (with a notification about one of those 3 things missing).

So yeah, maybe you _could_ refer to it as "one or the other". If you do want to take a look at the cute Security Center anyway, you can get it from

Control Panel >> Security Center

**badboy05mtl** · January 4, 2005

What is this registry mean?

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]

Hi All, Think someone might be intrested in this reg edit. Its for turning off the startup and shutdown sounds. works for unattended setups as well.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

 ;========WINDOWS SOUNDS
 ;-----  Removes the defalt windows Startup and Shutdown sounds
 ;-----  
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\SystemStart]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\SystemStart\.Current]
@=hex(2):00,00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\SystemStart\.Default]
@=hex(2):00,00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\SystemExit]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\SystemExit\.Current]
@=hex(2):00,00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\SystemExit\.Default]
@=hex(2):00,00

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\SystemExit\.Default]
@=hex(2):00,00

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\SystemStart\.Default]
@=hex(2):00,00

Hope this helps as i have not seen it anyware.

Also I cannot get the Quick Launch reg edit to work!!!

**war59312** · January 5, 2005

Anyone know how to fix the theme problem.

That is it not completely loading the entire visual style and having to select it after install for it to show 100% correctly.

You know in winnt.sif you have:

[Shell]
    CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%WinDir%\Resources\Themes\Storm\Storm.msstyles"
    DefaultStartPanelOff = "Yes"
    DefaultThemesOff = "No"

Then you apply the reg setting:

;Set Storm As Theme
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ThemeManager]
"WCreatedUser"="1"
"ThemeActive"="1"
"LoadedBefore"="1"
"LastUserLangID"="1033"
"DllName"=hex(2):25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,00,6f,00,6f,00,\
  74,00,25,00,5c,00,72,00,65,00,73,00,6f,00,75,00,72,00,63,00,65,00,73,00,5c,\
  00,54,00,68,00,65,00,6d,00,65,00,73,00,5c,00,53,00,74,00,6f,00,72,00,6d,00,\
  5c,00,53,00,74,00,6f,00,72,00,6d,00,2e,00,6d,00,73,00,73,00,74,00,79,00,6c,\
  00,65,00,73,00,00,00
"ColorName"="Thin3"
"SizeName"="LargeFonts"

@war59312

You don't need regkeys to set the theme, the winnt.sif line is enough.

You aren't getting the theme applied properly because there might not have been enough time allotted for explorer to initialise (remember the "reboot in 60 seconds" recommendation in cleanup.cmd? that's needed).

**war59312** · January 5, 2005

Well I am giving it 300secs, thats five min. And yea the registry entryies is just for this theme. Cause if you dont then it just picks the default settings for the visual style which is not what i want.
