Sure I'll add the source to the next version, tho first it's gonna need some cleaning and commenting, it's quite messy right now. The app is written in C# VS 2005 and I don't have plans on learning vb, so it's gonna have to do.

Hmm I knew I'd forgotten something...

The resizing problem is an easy fix, it's just a matter of applying the correct anchors. About the wordwrap feature, I can't have it enabled because it messes up the line numbering system and I haven't found an other way around it, so for now it's gonna remain disabled. Auto correction should be pretty easy to implement. If could attach your reg file to your post, it would be helpful? I'll have the other things also fixed.

Man, do you work with software testing or something? Cause you make me look like an amateur... Well I guess I still am for now... You really seem to catch all those details :)

Hey,

Yeah sorry I meant in C# VS 2003 not VB. That is if you even can build a 2003 version of it. If not thats fine and its time I fix my VS 2005 install. ;)

All right cool. Yeah I'm not that great at C# at the moment. Guess I'll learn, again. ;)

Well sure I'll attach the original screwed up reg file. Check out that highlighting lol

Well yes I do software testing for Microsoft, AOL, Intel, AMD, and a few others.

For fun though, not professionally, well at least not at the moment. Hope to in about six months time when I have my bachelors degree from USC, SC. :)

Take Care,

Will

Hi Guys,

Can someone tell me what's the reg tweak to add "Show icon in notification area when connected" in the Local Area Connection properties as a reg tweak? I would like it to show on the toolbar for everyone.

I have the same request and I do it with VBScript and WMI:

On Error Resume Next

Set wmi = GetObject("winmgmts:{ImpersonationLevel=Impersonate}!\\.\root\cimv2")
Set tad = wmi.ExecQuery("SELECT SettingID FROM Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration WHERE IPEnabled = True",, 48)
Set reg = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=Impersonate}!\\.\root\default:StdRegProv")

For Each item In tad
  reg.setDWORDValue &H80000002, "SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\" & item.SettingID & "\Connection", "ShowIcon", 1
Next

Set wmi = Nothing
Set tad = Nothing
Set reg = Nothing

Hey,

Anyone know how to make Local Area Connection "Show icon in notification area when connected"?

Well I figured it out:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Network\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\{CB9067D9-010F-4124-B253-943EA34F01EC}\Connection]
"ShowIcon"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\{CB9067D9-010F-4124-B253-943EA34F01EC}\Connection]
"ShowIcon"=dword:00000001

Only problem is that the CB906 part changes every OS install. So guess there is nothing you can do about it.

Thanks a lot,

Will

The tweak seems to need a reboot before getting activated tho.

I have that vbscript too and i tried localy on my desktop but it doesn't work. So I saw no point in adding to my dvd. I am trying to do a comparason of two pcs one with the icon checked and the other. I taught this would have been an easy.

I've searched the whole forum for "NoUpdatePromptTime" but no luck, so here is my question;

I'm still using MSN 6.2 and every 2 weeks it notifies me of a new MSN version, and every time I have to tell it to leave me alone for another 2 weeks.

I did a registry search and found the MSN folder with the key responisble > NoUpdatePromptTime with it's value: 10 ac 03 f7 32 2b c6 01. This is abracadabra for me.

Does anyone know how to disable this completely?

Bump?

Hey,

Here you go guys. :D

VB Script and no reboot required:

On Error Resume Next

set ws = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

start = "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet"

'classGUID = GUID for all Network Connection Class
classGUID = ws.RegRead(start & "\Enum\Root\MS_NDISWANIP\0000\ClassGUID")

'netIDxx = UID for each member of the Network Connection Class containing specific network adapters
netID01 = ws.RegRead(start & "\Control\Class\" & classGUID & "\0001\NetCfgInstanceID")
netID02 = ws.RegRead(start & "\Control\Class\" & classGUID & "\0002\NetCfgInstanceID")
netID03 = ws.RegRead(start & "\Control\Class\" & classGUID & "\0003\NetCfgInstanceID")
netID04 = ws.RegRead(start & "\Control\Class\" & classGUID & "\0004\NetCfgInstanceID")
netID05 = ws.RegRead(start & "\Control\Class\" & classGUID & "\0005\NetCfgInstanceID")
netID06 = ws.RegRead(start & "\Control\Class\" & classGUID & "\0006\NetCfgInstanceID")
netID07 = ws.RegRead(start & "\Control\Class\" & classGUID & "\0007\NetCfgInstanceID")
netID08 = ws.RegRead(start & "\Control\Class\" & classGUID & "\0008\NetCfgInstanceID")
netID09 = ws.RegRead(start & "\Control\Class\" & classGUID & "\0009\NetCfgInstanceID")
netID10 = ws.RegRead(start & "\Control\Class\" & classGUID & "\0010\NetCfgInstanceID")
netID11 = ws.RegRead(start & "\Control\Class\" & classGUID & "\0011\NetCfgInstanceID")
netID12 = ws.RegRead(start & "\Control\Class\" & classGUID & "\0012\NetCfgInstanceID")
netID13 = ws.RegRead(start & "\Control\Class\" & classGUID & "\0013\NetCfgInstanceID")
netID14 = ws.RegRead(start & "\Control\Class\" & classGUID & "\0014\NetCfgInstanceID")

' setIcon recieves location of current network connections and also flag (1) to turn on showIcons
setIcon start & "\Control\Network\" & classGUID & "\" & netID01 & "\Connection\", 1
setIcon start & "\Control\Network\" & classGUID & "\" & netID02 & "\Connection\", 1
setIcon start & "\Control\Network\" & classGUID & "\" & netID03 & "\Connection\", 1
setIcon start & "\Control\Network\" & classGUID & "\" & netID04 & "\Connection\", 1
setIcon start & "\Control\Network\" & classGUID & "\" & netID05 & "\Connection\", 1
setIcon start & "\Control\Network\" & classGUID & "\" & netID06 & "\Connection\", 1
setIcon start & "\Control\Network\" & classGUID & "\" & netID07 & "\Connection\", 1
setIcon start & "\Control\Network\" & classGUID & "\" & netID08 & "\Connection\", 1
setIcon start & "\Control\Network\" & classGUID & "\" & netID09 & "\Connection\", 1
setIcon start & "\Control\Network\" & classGUID & "\" & netID10 & "\Connection\", 1
setIcon start & "\Control\Network\" & classGUID & "\" & netID11 & "\Connection\", 1
setIcon start & "\Control\Network\" & classGUID & "\" & netID12 & "\Connection\", 1
setIcon start & "\Control\Network\" & classGUID & "\" & netID13 & "\Connection\", 1
setIcon start & "\Control\Network\" & classGUID & "\" & netID14 & "\Connection\", 1




'MsgBox "Show icon in Notification Area when connected is set.", 4096,"Finished"


'********************************************************
' Subroutine setIcon(nicID as String, flag as Binary)
' strName = Registry Value of "Name" in Current nicID. Network connections with Icons also contain a "Name"  Registry setting 
' Will not effect 1394 Connection through string comparison with strName
' flag is used to turn to set ShowIcon registry setting

Sub setIcon(nicID,flag)
strName = ws.RegRead( nicID & "Name")
If strName  = "" Then
else
	if InStr(strName, "1394") = 0 then
'	MsgBox strName
	ws.RegWrite nicID & "ShowIcon", flag, "REG_DWORD"
	end if
end if
End Sub

Enjoy,

Will

Hey,

First of all I have no idea if this will work at all since I only have WLM 8.0 installed.

But...

What you need to do is lock the key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger\

NoUpdatePromptTime

So that it does not change.

To do this launch regedit and browse to the NoUpdatePromptTime and right click on it.

Click permissions. Now set all groups and users to deny for full control and click ok.

Now the value in that key will never change. So MSN Messenger should then think time stands at a stand still. Meaning no more prompt because you always have two weeks before the next prompt.

Take Care,

Will

I recently tried and am testing a free program called Registry Tweaker, I thought I'd post about here since it has quite a few usefull features. The author of the program is constantly adding support for new features and functions that will make your tweak databasing and profiling quite worth it in the long run.

In the past week the test versions of his program has come along in leaps and bounds.

...

I've been adding entries for reg tweaks I use from the first posts RegTweaks list as well as tweaks from my scattered .reg files for my own use

...

@smashly: I've just found this Registry Tweaker, and think it's quite handy to have around, as it can run in 'stand-alone' mode too. :thumbup

Maybe it's me that I am a little bit lazy (think not), but reinventing the wheel is not one of my goals, so, would you be so kind as to post your Registry Tweaker database, that covers the tweaks spoken about in this thread? :)

Thank you.
