how do I remove the favourites folder in Internet Explorer? Also how do I disable the screensaver and shutting off the monitor after a certain amount of time being inactive?
Shutting off the monitor - power options (this is already in regtweaks, export the identical key on your machine after setting it to how you want).

Disabling screensaver - this can be done from the *.theme file that you might use for setting the theme of your choice (from [shell] block).

Removing the favourites totally, is a much-discussed topic and needs more than just registry tweaks. So it'd be a good idea to search for the thread that DOES have info about this.

whenever i delete a file, it doesnt go away from the explorer until i refresh (f5 or ryt clik) :huh: 

it is supposed to disappear & go directly into the recycle bin... any ideas?

Both these things you describe are different from one another.

The main problem seems to be about explorer not refreshing the screen regularly enough - this can be fixed from a registry tweak, and is present in the download available from the first post in this topic.

Recycle bin does not at all matter actually..... this problem is not related to it, its just a general bug.

Again some clafication

1.[line 768-769]

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer

"Link"=hex:00,00,00,00

[line 915-916]

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

"link"=hex:00,00,00,00

Just Delete lines 765-769, they are not required

2.[line 687-689]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management]

"DisablePagingExecutive"=dword:00000001

"SecondLevelDataCache"=dword:00000200

[line 953-954]

;[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management]

;"SecondLevelDataCache"=dword:00000200

The 'SecondLevelDataCache' tweak is only really useful for machines using older processors, and should therefore be commented out.

The 'LargePageMinimum' tweak fixes an allocated memory corruption problem with some AGP programs with an AMD Athlon processor and if added should also be commented out.

The 'SystemPages' tweak maximizes system pages. The system creates the largest number of page table entries possible within physical memory and both monitors and adjusts this value dynamically when the configuration changes. If added, I would also comment out this entry, until you verify its usefulness.

3. I have since checked this on nVidia systems and can now say

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\NvCplDesktopContext]

5. 

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Winamp.Bookmark\command]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Winamp.File\shell\ListBookmark\command]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Winamp.Enqueue\command]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Winamp.File\shell\Enqueue\command]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Winamp.File\shell\Enqueue\DropTarget]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Winamp.Playlist\shell\Enqueue\command]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{87D62D94-71B3-4b9a-9489-5FE6850DC73E}\InProcServer32]

e.g. when you remove this key

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Winamp.Bookmark]

you will also remove

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Winamp.Bookmark\command]

Well anyone know how to add Add / Remove Programs > Windows setup to the right click context menu of my computer. Already added Add / Remove programs. But would be nice to have windows setup as well.

Thanks,

Will

MSCONFIG from right click My Comp :) Make sure to edit if your windows dir is other than C:\\Windows

; ==== Adds MsConfig to right click My computer
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\MsConfig]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\MsConfig\command]
@="C:\\Windows\\PCHEALTH\\HELPCTR\\Binaries\\msconfig.exe /S"

:hello:

better way for the above tweak is:

; ==== Adds MsConfig to right click My computer
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\MsConfig]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\MsConfig\command]
@="msconfig.exe /S"

this saves entering your windows dir at the start :)

At the request of glent, due to time restrictions, I have a new version of his updated tweaks file.

It contains the fixes as reported to him following the release of v1.8.

No entries have been added!

This is a temporary solution until glent can find more time, and as such is updated to v1.8b only.

As a side note,

If the reporter of this could let me know to what they refer, it may be possible to implement on the next update.

line 2583 & 2605: "Hide Messenger" exists twice

Hmm..

Tried that, but gives me the error: "Windows cannot find '(null)'. Make sure you typed the name correctly...."

Heres one I don't see. My installation of Windows is the British English version but I need American English Keyboard layout... So it might be of help to others. 

; ==== American English Keyboard Layout
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Preload]
"1"="00000409"
"2"="00000409"

; ==== British English Keyboard Layout
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Preload]
"1"="00000809"
"2"="00000809"

; ==== Irish English Keyboard Layout
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Preload]
"1"="00001809"
"2"="00001809"

; ==== Canadian English Keyboard Layout
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Preload]
"1"="00011009"
"2"="00011009"

Use only one of the above, of course. ;)

That particular tweak is already in the tweaks file, in that it doesn't use /S, just "msconfig.exe"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\msconfig]
@="Microsoft Configurator"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\msconfig\command]
@="msconfig.exe"

Youre right, the above is in the tweaks file but it does not work for me. Same '(null)' error.

The reg file entries haven't all been verified, but all you need is this

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\msconfig\command]
@="msconfig.exe"

although due to you having tried others methods you will need to add this above the line I've just given you in order to remove the incorrect value first

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