Supposedly this is a tweak that is used in Windows Longhorn but also works in Windows XP.

Can anyone confirm a speedup?

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\Prefetcher

You will notice in Windows XP:

EnablePrefetcher = 3

In Windows Longhorn:

EnableSuperfetch = 1

Well, guess what? You can put the EnableSuperfetch = 1 in Windows XP and get the same speed.

I saw were spiritpyre offered this tweak to remove the "Print" option from the right-click context menus from "image" and "text" files...

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\image\shell\print]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\text\shell\print]

The part about removing "Print" from "image" files works perfectly for me, so thanks, spiritpyre...I've been trying to find as many tweaks that will remove my unwanted right-click context menu options.

However, I do not have this particular registry entry in my registry...

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\text\shell\print

...so there's nothing for me to remove there.

Does anyone know of another way to go about removing "Print" from "text" files?

As a matter-of-fact, since I don't have a printer, does any know how I can remove all the "Print" context menu options from all the various files it applies to?

[Bold_Fortune]

Newinko gave me this to remove the right-click context menus from "text" files...It works, too.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

;Remove Print From txt Files
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\txtfile\shell\print]

[war59312]

Nice. I was thinking the same.

Here are a few then:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

;Remove Print From Images
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\image\shell\print]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\text\shell\print]

;Remove Print From txt Files
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\txtfile\shell\print]

;Remove Print From Reg Files
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\regfile\shell\print]

;Remove Print From CMD Files
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\cmdfile\shell\print]

;Remove Print From Batch Files
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\batfile\shell\print]

;Remove Print From INI Files
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\inifile\shell\print]

;Remove Print From INF Files
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\inffile\shell\print]

I am trying to remove from PHP files too but this is not working.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

;Remove Print From PHP Files
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\phpfile\shell\print]

And dont see php any where in registry.

Well **** cant get pdf and powerpoint nor word to go away either.

Thanks, war59312. A little earlier I figured out a couple of the ones you just gave me. The tweak Newinko gave me lead me to them. But you have a couple there I'll begin using soon. So thanks.

Here's all the ones I have so far for removing the right-click context menus items that I don't want...

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\Optimize using PerfectDisk]

;Remove Print For Image Files
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\image\shell\print]

;Remove Print From inf File

[war59312]

Hey,

Thanks for the internet shortcut one.

Well what do you know I figured it out.

;Remove Print From PHP Files
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TextPad.php\shell\print]

;Remove Print From PDF Files
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\FoxitReader.Document\shell\print]

;Remove Print From Word Docs
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Word.Document.8\shell\Print]

;Remove Print From PowerPoint Docs
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PowerPoint.Show.8\shell\Print]

As you can see its default app plus file name.

OMG:

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Printers]

There you go that will stop printing on accident. Thats why I want to remove. Finding myself clicking print on accident a lot.

The cool thing is you can still print in appz it seems. I just tried word and still prints fine, but when clicking print from a context menu it just turns on the printer if its off and spits out a blank page. So it does not print at all. No more wasted paper cause I forgot to hit the cancel button fast enough. hehe

This one is cool :

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

;Remove Send To Menu
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Send To]

Well I can not think of any more ATM.

Well good night,

Will

[SiMoNsAyS]

this is for using a different cursor on the logon screen ...

set the desired cursors to replace the ones by default. export key "[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-random-strings\Control Panel\Cursors]".

open the reg file with notepad and change the key before with "[HKEY_USERS\.default\Control Panel\Cursors]".

import it during uA or add it to your current regtweaks file

[Bold_Fortune]

Thanks, war59312. spiritpyre helped me figure out another tough one here...

You wouldn't know how to remove "Make available offline" from an Internet Shortcut, would you?

[iceshell]

Hi , is there an registry method to permanently disable windows messenger update nag ...

"A new version of Windows Messenger is now available click here for more information"

thanks

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

This will prevent Windows Messenger or MSN Messenger from being installed

;Prevents Windows Messenger from being installed
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Messenger\Client]
"Disabled"=dword:00000001
"PreventAutoRun"=dword:00000001
"PreventAutoUpdate"=dword:00000001
"PreventBackgroundDownload"=dword:00000001
"PreventRun"=dword:00000001

This is all you need to prevent the update nag

;Prevents Windows Messenger from being updated
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Messenger\Client]
"PreventAutoUpdate"=dword:00000001
"PreventBackgroundDownload"=dword:00000001

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

That would be:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

;Remove Make Available Offline From Internet Shortcuts
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\InternetShortcut\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{FBF23B40-E3F0-101B-8488-00AA003E56F8}]

Also I have to do both for it to work:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

;Remove Print From Internet Shortcut
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\InternetShortcut\shell\print]

;Remove Print From Internet Shortcut 2
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\InternetShortcut\shell\print]
