So..I make some regtweak for you

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]

"Start_ShowMyDocs"=dword:00000000

"Start_ShowMyMusic"=dword:00000000

"Start_ShowMyComputer"=dword:00000001

"Start_ShowMyPics"=dword:00000000

"Start_ShowNetConn"=dword:00000001

"Start_ShowControlPanel"=dword:00000001

So try it tonight

And let me know if problem persist.

Did you know ...?

As default Windows creates a file (c:\hiberfil.sys) to save the complete memory if you hibernate. It is the same size as your memory e.g.. if you have 2GB Ram, windows will create a 2GB file!. If you don't use hibernate (and who does?) you can remove the file by doing the following:

1.Go to Settings -> Control Panel -> Power Options.
2.Click Hibernate tab and uncheck "Enable Hibernation".
3.Click Apply and you have gained some Hard Disk space.

Or you can find regtweak using RegSnap or other...

Hibernation and Power settings are a per User setting. I tried for quite a while to find a registry tweak for them and couldn't--you'll find several listed in these forums but they all work differently depending on other settings in the user's profile.

What I finally came up with is a batch file that I use in my UA but it could also be run as a startup item.

There are 2 different batches, one for laptops--which is a good use for hibernation--and one for desktops. Both need powercfg.exe which is part of the WinXP install.

;;;  this is for desktop systems
@echo off
start /wait powercfg.exe /s "Home/Office Desk"
start /wait powercfg.exe /x "Home/Office Desk" /monitor-timeout-ac 0
start /wait powercfg.exe /x "Home/Office Desk" /disk-timeout-ac 0
start /wait powercfg.exe /x "Home/Office Desk" /standby-timeout-ac 0
start /wait powercfg.exe /x "Home/Office Desk" /hibernate-timeout-ac 0
start /wait powercfg.exe /x "Home/Office Desk" /hibernate off

;;;  this one is for laptops
@echo off
start /wait powercfg.exe /s "portable/laptop"
start /wait powercfg.exe /x "portable/laptop"
start /wait powercfg.exe /x "portable/laptop" /hibernate on
start /wait powercfg.exe /x "portable/laptop" /monitor-timeout-ac 0
start /wait powercfg.exe /x "portable/laptop" /disk-timeout-ac 0
start /wait powercfg.exe /x "portable/laptop" /standby-timeout-ac 0
start /wait powercfg.exe /x "portable/laptop" /hibernate-timeout-ac 0
start /wait powercfg.exe /x "portable/laptop" /monitor-timeout-dc 30 
start /wait powercfg.exe /x "portable/laptop" /disk-timeout-dc 45
start /wait powercfg.exe /x "portable/laptop" /standby-timeout-dc 120
start /wait powercfg.exe /x "portable/laptop" /hibernate-timeout-dc 180
start /wait powercfg.exe /x "portable/laptop" /globalpowerflag on /option:batteryicon

Hope it helps.

I found something in

Microsoft KB 293399

They said:

The Heuristics value only exists when the Hibernate feature is enabled.

So I soon will try to disable by following this.. Maybe we need to remove hiberfil.sys and remove from registry "Heuristics" value ....

**Loras** · August 24, 2005

Thanks NemoNada !

So I think that best way to turn off HIBERNATE is to RunOnceEx add

following:

REG ADD %KEY%\010 /VE /D "Disabling HIBERNATE" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\install\hiberfil.cmd" /f

and create hiberfil.cmd with this text:

cmdow @ /HID
powercfg.exe /hibernate off
EXIT

O sorry..I found it in Glen's first page:

;-----  Disable Hibernate
 ;-----
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Power]
"Heuristics"=hex:05,00,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,3f,42,0f,00

Next RegTweak is about My Computer name.

With this tweak your "My Computer" icon will have your user name.

I.e if your user name is Glen , your My Computer icon will be renamed to

Glen's Computer...So if you will rename your user name, My Computer icon will be renamed automaticaly..

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}]
"LocalizedString"=hex(2):25,00,55,00,53,00,45,00,52,00,4e,00,41,00,4d,00,45,00,\
  25,00,27,00,73,00,20,00,43,00,6f,00,6d,00,70,00,75,00,74,00,65,00,72,00,00,\
  00

Or manualy locate registry key above and change "LocalizedString" value to

"%USERNAME%'s Computer"

Recycle bin can be renamed as well. Just do it with key:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}]
"LocalizedString"=.....

If I put "%USERNAME%'s Computer". Except TEST's Computer it will write %USERNAME%'s computer.!!!!

Is there any command that will give like %systemdrive% give active partition like C:.!!! Is there any command like this to put UserName

**Loras** · August 25, 2005

You must write it without quotes ! only:

%USERNAME%'s Computer
