DanFraser Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 EDIT: WHOOPS! I just realised what the subject looks like!!! Could someone change it?To get towards completing my XP DVD, I am looking for reg keys that can get rid of the tedium i go through after finishing booting XP for the first time after installing.I already have a ton of reg keys setup on my CD, but there are others I would like to find out if they exist or not. I havent had much luck searching for most of these, so I decided to post.Here's the list:1: I have the reg keys for this, but how do i differentiate between ticked and unticked in them, for the visual effects in windows (shadows under mouse etc)?eg:[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects]"VisualFXSetting"=dword:00000003[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\AnimateMinMax]"DefaultApplied"=dword:00000001etc...2: Hide inactive icons. I want this off!!3: Launch Browser In Separate Process;-----;----- Launch Browser In a Seperate process;-----[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\BrowseNewProcess]"BrowseNewProcess"="Yes"Doesn't seem to work...?4: Is there any way to map network drives via the registry? Is there any way to do it automatically at all?5: Show hidden files and folders?6: Turn off 'Hide extensions for known file types'?7: Turn off 'Highlight newly installed programs' in the start menu?8: ... I'm sure there were more! Oh well, I would be very grateful if someone, or multiple people knew the answers to the above! I know they look trivial, but i'm sure many out there hate the little things you have to do over and over!DanFraser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Yes, repeatedly configuring windows is a pain.Take a look at the stickied topic in this forum - its even named "Registry Tweaks", seems like you missed seeing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
