need some regtweaks, plz

[a06lp]

Hi,

I can't seem to find these regtweaks, can anyone help?

- view status bar in explorer (solved)

- expand my documents on Start Menu (solved)

- remove "shortcut to" in title of created shortcuts - the one i have (below) doesn't work

- "You are about to view pages over a secure connection" - Do not show this warning

- "Privacy" - "The privacy icon appears in the status bar each time a cookie is resticted based on your privacy settings" - do not show

[a06lp]

ok, i found some:

;My Docs Expands in Start Menu
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"Start_ShowMyDocs"=dword:00000002
"CascadeMyDocuments"="YES"

;Show Statusbar in all windows
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"StatusBarOther"=dword:00000001

;This disables the screensaver
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Control Panel\Desktop]
"ScreenSaveActive"="0"

I'm still missing:

- "You are about to view pages over a secure connection" - Do not show this warning

- "Privacy" - "The privacy icon appears in the status bar each time a cookie is resticted based on your privacy settings" - do not show

and this one doesn't seem to work:

;Remove the 'Shortcut to...' (00 00 00 00 = No Shortcut Text)
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]
"link"=hex:00,00,00,00

I suppose all of the above, are in the "Registry Tweaks" thread in this forum - it is stickied. The first-post there has a list of tweaks put together by JohnnyDo - you'd be able to find what you want there.

i downloaded that file, and searched through it. i could not find the ones in bold, except the one that i mentioned did not work.

@a06lp

Try adding this to your registry file:

;Remove Shortcut Arrows
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile]
"IsShortcut"=-

If you install TweakUI, you might want to add this as well for consistency:

;Create shortcut overlay radio button 'None' entry -- value of 2 for 'Light arrow'
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Icons]
"29"="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\tweakui.exe,3"

Been so long now, I can't remember, but I recall that unless the second entry was added I would have shortcut-less icons even though TweakUI told me I did. Then again, maybe not. Maybe the second entry is all that is needed, as I recall some folks complaining that the first entry produced no effect for them, even as others swore by it. I remember playing with RegSnap at the time, but this may be a classic case of a user (me) slapping together some registry fixes posted by others and stumbling across a working solution. Any way you slice it, it worked for me. FYI, I have all THREE entries in my registry file.

err...

i dont want to remove the ARROWS, I like those.

I want to remove the default TEXT "Shortcut to .." when creating a shortcut.
