Hey People,

I'm looking for some specific registry tweaks for customization of the explorer "Folders Settings" options. I have found the majority of these, but I'm just missing a couple more. I've tried doing a search but was unable to find. If you can either list the tweaks or forward to a post that has one/them it would be most appreciated.

These are the ones I am in search of:

;----Explorer Options, View:

(Enable) ;--Display file size informaiton in folder tips

(Enable) ;--Display the contents of system folders

(Enable) ;--Display the full path in the title bar

(Enable) ;--Show hidden files and folders

(Disable) ;--Hide extensions for known file types

I'm pretty sure I've seen a post with them before, but just couldn't make sense of the specific keys.

I'm also looking to remove certain shortcuts from the start menu from "default user". I do understand that this is probably pretty novice stuff, but I'm a pretty novice guy ;). I have some of these shortcuts being removed during the "RunOnceEx" stage, but I wanted to port these removals over to my "CmdLines" so it will affect globally to all users instead to only the Admin account. Are all Start Menu shortcuts found in the same location in the directory? These are the ones I'm looking at getting rid of:

;----Start Menu All Programs (non classic mode)

;----Outlook Express

;----MSN Explorer

;----Windows Messenger

Can anyone help with my novice registry questions?

Thanks in advance

All except the first one are in a sticky post in this forum

entitled registry tweaks. Not sure about the third, I

know there's a tweak to show the path but I don't know if

its in the address bar or title bar.

If you want to find registry settings a good tool is

Yes, as jbm said, you'll get pretty much all the regtweaks you need from this stickied topic - Registry Tweaks

And as for the first one:

(Enable);--Display file size information in folder tips

;Add Attributes To Tiles & Infotip For Files
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*]
"TileInfo"="prop:Type;Size;Attributes"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*]
"InfoTip"="prop:Type;Size;DocComments;Attributes"

;Add Attributes To Tiles & Infotip For Folders
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder]
"TileInfo"="prop:Size;Attributes"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory]
"InfoTip"="prop:DocComments;Attributes"

That what you want?

You can customize it - for example,

"InfoTip"="prop:DocComments;Attributes"

can become

"InfoTip"="prop:DocComments;Size;Attributes"

Hoping this helps....
