war59312 Posted March 10, 2005 Posted March 10, 2005 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.
war59312 Posted March 13, 2005 Posted March 13, 2005 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, WillAlso, would like to get rid of Undo Copy. Same menu.

DigitalAZ Posted March 13, 2005 Posted March 13, 2005 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]
DigitalAZ Posted March 13, 2005 Posted March 13, 2005 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; Change maximum application log size to 1024 and set to overwrite as needed.[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\Application]"MaxSize"=dword:00100000"Retention"=dword:00000000[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Eventlog\Application]"MaxSize"=dword:00100000"Retention"=dword:00000000; Change maximum security log size to 1024 and set to overwrite as needed.[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\Security]"MaxSize"=dword:00100000"Retention"=dword:00000000[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Eventlog\Security]"MaxSize"=dword:00100000"Retention"=dword:00000000; Change maximum system log size to 1024 and set to overwrite as needed.[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\System]"MaxSize"=dword:00100000"Retention"=dword:00000000[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Eventlog\System]"MaxSize"=dword:00100000"Retention"=dword:00000000
