Two registry questions

[scorpy]

First, how do I turn off using popup blocker sound for IE in SP2?

Second, I set the option to have searches look in system folders. I used the registry setting below, but it clearly didn't search them. I unchecked it and rechecked it, and then it searched them. Am I missing something?

;Sets default search options
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]
"SearchSystemDirs"=dword:00000001
"SearchHidden"=dword:00000001
"IncludeSubFolders"=dword:00000001
"CaseSensitive"=dword:00000000
"SearchSlowFiles"=dword:00000000
"EnableAutoTray"=dword:00000000

for first, you must go to Tool->Block Pops->Options

and uncheck the sound.

(Out of topic: this post should be in Windows XP dicussion area...)

Block the pop-up sound:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\New Windows]
"PlaySound"=dword:00000000

That should work.

As for why those above registry tweaks did not work, you need to have the .REG run from cmdlines.txt (for HKCR related things).

Thanks prathapml. That was what I was looking for. Also, I do have all my Current user tweaks being called from Cmdlines.txt, right after the useraccount setup. All I know is, I search for system files and I get no results. Then I uncheck and recheck the box and it finds results. Bizarre!
