Registry Tweaks Pt 3


Recommended Posts


How can I customise a size of my Quick Launch?

This one has been done, please try to use the search function. I did a search for "Quick Launch" and got several threads answering this question, or a variation of it.

Here's a few links, hopefully they will help you out. I just don't feel up to explaining it...again. :no:

Maybe I am a stupid, but I can't create QL of my dreams ;)

For best results using this tweak, I suggest setting you Taskbar up the way you like and then exporting the following value from your registry:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop]
"TaskbarWinXP"=

Ok simply set the icons in your quick launch bar the way you want them, and then do a complete restart of windows. [some of the settings will only be saved with a complete restart - not simply logging off]

Then after your restart open regedit and export the following keys

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects2]

I got it all. But it's no results :( Help me please.

P.S.

Windows XP SP2 eng + Nlite + RyanVM's Update Pack + Drivers

I think you would get help much quicker if you would create a new topic on this particular subject and we are also currently disobeying glent's wishes about keeping this thread as clean as possible.

Minor Bug, Under the "Adds Userpasswords2 to control panel" section. there is a line that reads

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{98641F47-8C25-4936-BEE4-C2CE1298969D}]@="User Accounts 2"

"InfoTip"="Starts The Windows 2000 style User Accounts dialog"

the one in red should be there to make

"InfoTip"="blah blah blah"

great reg tweaks :) has saved me a lot of time.

How can I customise a size of my Quick Launch?

Ive been trying to do that Unattended for the past 3 months and cant find anything the only thing I can think of is to use a AutoIt3 script to do it

Which it was a simple value to change even if its a REG_BINARY I have created a program to edit them. at the moment I have set it up to change the power setting, its very annoying when I close my laptop and it goes into standby

I’m in the middle of rewriting v2s engine I wasn’t happy enough with it to release it and still have to make my php page but there’s going to be a lot of changes from v2 to v3 mainly the format of the tweak data when there being executed and also adding more features IE ini editing and hopefully meta editing

Oh going to have to stop playing World of Warcraft to do it :blushing:

ok i found this a few days ago and since everybody seems to have more requests than actual tweaks being posted i thought I'd post this:

there is a modified version of RegShot that creates the text files with .reg syntax so the is significanty less editing to do (thanks to Achdine for original post).

I can't seem to get this tweak to work:

REGEDIT4

; Disable Automatic Restart in the event of a BSOD
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CrashControl]
"AutoReboot"=dword:00000000

--> After Unattended setup is complete, all tweaks are working except for this one, I find "Automatically Restart" still checked in My Computer > Advanced > Startup and Recovery > Settings....

--> I call my regtweaks.reg using REG IMPORT method in RunOnceEx.cmd and also by another CMD file running during RunOncEx (after reboot)....

(ie: I import them twice to make everything sure it works...)

- PS: I use the SETUP.EXE trick/hack (replace SETUP.EX_ in i386 folder, SETUPORG.EXE and PRESETUP.CMD) but I don't use it for drivers, I use it for other stuff (eg: opening a DOS window to check for copied files - debugging..etc.)

If all of your tweaks except this one is working, and they are all being imported from the same place, then it is likely that it is the tweak itself that isn't doing what it is supposed to, rather than a problem with the way in which you are trying to import it. Have you tried manually digging into the registry to see what value is assigned to that key when the install is complete? I have occasionally found tweaks to be mislabeled (saying enable when they should say disable, etc..) and that may be the case with this one. You can also try changing the setting yourself while running a registry monitor to see which key changes when you make the change.

Hope this helps.
