Registry Tweaks Pt 3

[Lost Soul]

Is there a way to have the WMP icon NOT be on the desktop by default? I've searched with no avail....

just place a line in your cleanup script to delete it off the desktop

I can't beleive I'm the 1st one to post a reg tweak for that much needed piece of corporate software...

Hey,

To do that you would simply use setupmgr.exe to create the entries for you in winnt.sif for your unattended install.

You can grab setupmgr.exe here:

Take Care,

Is there a general way to make the control panel show in icon view? I want to keep the other views in explorer as detail view. I tried using regshot to see changes, but I wasn't able to gather anything from it. Maybe someone here knows? Thanks a lot

Hey guys, I just added quite a few registry tweaks to the MSFN database. (URL: http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/page/list/registry/ )

I don't know what's already been posted here. I haven't checked. But I figured I should direct you guys to it anyway.

This tweak is suppose to remove the restrictions on Remote Desktop with a patched Termsrv.dll or using the Beta Release of SP2.

However, one of the limitations was that you had to have Fast User Switching enabled and the computer was not allowed on a Domain. This tweak should lift those restrictions.

;Remote Desktop - Allow Domains, Fast User Switching Not Needed
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"AllowMultipleTSSessions"=dword:00000001

I have not test it yet because I don't have a domain on my network. Maybe someone can post the results

START /WAIT REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects" /V VisualFXSetting /T REG_DWORD /F /D 0

Select Value=2 for your needs.

Hope this helps.

I don't know why i can't set up auto update through winnt.sif, like sometimes it works and sometimes...

so this is for enable auto update:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update]

"AUOptions"=dword:00000004

"ScheduledInstallDay"=dword:00000000

"ScheduledInstallTime"=dword:00000003

'though there're more keys in the registry, there is no need to set them manualy.

Another way is to set a GPO:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU]

"NoAutoUpdate"=dword:00000000

"AUOptions"=dword:00000003

"ScheduledInstallDay"=dword:00000000

"ScheduledInstallTime"=dword:00000003

do you got this tweak ?

to disable desktop's unused icons clean wizard just...

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\CleanupWiz]

"NoRun"=dword:00000001

Dang guys - shouldn't we use the unattended.msfn.org regtweak database. I own RegTweaks.NET if anyone wants to create a database or something. I'm a total loser when it comes to creating web-pages.

I want to start up my unattended WinXP installation with 48 bit icons rather than 32 bit icons. Can someone tell me what I need to do to tweak this setting or offer me the reg.key or something.

Thanks

Doug

32 bit icons ?

32bits of colors ?

Are you sure you don't want 48pixels by 48pixels ?

Your right, pixels is what I meant to say, not bits.

Thanks for pointing that out, it's no wonder I haven't had any reply.

Hopefully I might get an answer now.
