haysdad Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 i have been looking for how to set the icons in the toolbars in explorer and internet explorer to small with no text and cant find it in search. also are the settings for ie and explorer saved in the registry so you can save that string and install it. thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 Set the toolbars the way you want them and export the following key:[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar]This contains all the settings for the Internet Explorer, Windows Explorer and Explorer windows.

RogueSpear Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\SmallIcons]"SmallIcons"=dword:00000001 ; Use small iconsThis can also be set to a string value of "yes". Either one works. The problem I have is that I cannot seem to get this one to stick unless it is applied after the user is fully logged in.I've tried hardcoding it in the hive file, applying it from cmdlines.txt, during RunOnceEx, everything; it just doesn't seem to want to take unless the user has been created and logged in at least once.Anybody able to provide some insight about this?

minigun Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 hmmm i cant seem to set the small icons... even though i exported the toolbar reg info... its weird because i cant set small icons on the classic start menu either even though the reg info is correct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minalgar Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 Instead of adding the key "SmallIcons"=dword:00000001 to:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\SmallIconsyou can actually add it to:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\SmallIcons[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\SmallIcons]"SmallIcons"=dword:00000001or you can of course use reg.exe:REG ADD HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\SmallIcons /v SmallIcons /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /fThat should do the trick for the small icons, I have not testet it with a reinstallation though since I stumbled on it more or less by accident.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Other keys that do not seem to stick are the ones for the sound scheme HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\....and for the start menu (for using small icons for example)HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\DefaultUser\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects2The only way I was able to fix that was loading the Default User hive using REG LOAD:REG LOAD HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\DefaultUser "%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\Default User\NTUSER.DAT" RegEdit /S %Scripts%\RegTweaks-DefaultUserHive.regREG UNLOAD HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\DefaultUserRegards,Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acheron Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 When you get the answer please let me know, so far this is the only tweak I still can't get applied during setup. I would like small icons with text under it.So far I can adjust the quick launchbar, change the toolbar button order, change locations of any Windows system folder, etc, etc, but this is the stuffest one I have ever seen.

minalgar Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 DigeratiPrime yes but unfortunately Windows Explorer IS Internet Explorer so small icons in Internet Explorer equals small icons in Windows Explorer.hp38guser: I have just tested this, using the method I described above. Just add the key to the HKLM instead of HKCU during setup and you will have small icons. The only "problem" is that you have "Selective text on right" and not below each button. But since that is exactly what I want i'm happy.Which key controls the placement of the text labels? Meaning that they are on the right, below or not existant.Regards,Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 DigeratiPrime yes but unfortunately Windows Explorer IS Internet Explorer so small icons in Internet Explorer equals small icons in Windows Explorer.That's so not true Explorer, Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer all have a different key for their toolbar layout. I believe the key is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar (I'm at school right now, will check when I'm home (in one and a half hour)).

minalgar Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 Allright, you are right, interesting, but those are quite long keys.I want small icons everywhere so for me the easiest way is to set the one registry key at HKLM.But thanks for the input.Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueSpear Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 @minalgar Thanks for the HKLM tip. This was one of those moments when I slapped myself on the forehead because I hadn't thought of that myself! I probably never would have either because I was so "tunnel visioned" about the problem for so long.Once again.. thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
