Joffer Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 I'm building a WinXP CD with hotfixes and registry tweaks integrated. I'm looking for a way to make IE start with -nohome as default using a registry file (or another way if one exists). For now I only now of the manual way after windows is installed.. (editing the shortcut).Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joffer Posted March 24, 2005 Author Share Posted March 24, 2005 Simple and medium is not what I am looking for but nice to know anyway. 'hard' is what I was looking for, and actually the one I though of myself, but gave up a few findings down the registry.. didn't know, or at least was hoping for it was only a "simple" registry line, and not 8 lines (16 actually), one for each type..Well.. Thanks. I will actually use "both" methods, my XP Joff-Extreme Edittion with all my registry hacks will use what I was looking for (the 'hard' method) and my XP-SP2+ CD with all hotfixes after SP2 will probably use the about:blank method.Thanks again!Oh, I would also change the 'hard' way to this:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\gopher\shell\open\command]@="\"%ProgramFiles%\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe\" -nohome"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\htmlfile\shell\Open\command]@="\"%ProgramFiles%\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe\" -nohome"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\HTTP\shell\open\command]@="\"%ProgramFiles%\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe\" -nohome"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\HTTPS\shell\open\command]@="\"%ProgramFiles%\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe\" -nohome"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\ITS FILE\shell\Open\command]@="\"%ProgramFiles%\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe\" -nohome"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\xbmfile\shell\Open\command]@="\"%ProgramFiles%\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe\" -nohome"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\xmlfile\shell\Open\command]@="\"%ProgramFiles%\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe\" -nohome"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\xslfile\shell\Open\command]@="\"%ProgramFiles%\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe\" -nohome"In my extreme tweaked xp I have program files (and docs&settings) on D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yzöwl Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Well the hard way was all given properly in hex(2) format REG_EXPAND_SZ in the post, but because the forum still will not accept the hex formatting without adding html code to it, I changed it.Also the winnt.sif method, is simple because it I understand it will set all those keys to -nohome for all users at the same time.
