Registry Tweaks Pt 3


Recommended Posts

I just tested the tweak to prevent the open file - security warning and had no luck.

Although i noticed that this reg key did not import for some reason. so that could be the reason for the falure. Let me know what you think

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Associations]

"LowRiskFileTypes"=".zip;.rar;.nfo;.txt;.exe;.bat;.com;.cmd;.reg;.msi;.htm;.html;.gif;.

bmp;.jpg;.avi;.mpg;.mpeg;.mov;.mp3;.m3u;.wav;"

Are you testing with newly downloaded files, or files that had been downloaded before applying the registry tweak?

According to the little blurb at the end of the codebox Matthewk posted:

If LowRiskFileTypes is not configured, downloads that were made before SaveZoneInformation was set to 1, will still display Warning message.

So if you are testing with files downloaded before you imported the registry tweaks, that LowRiskFileTypes key not getting imported could certainly be the cause.

HI there,

I use the commandline very much and so I was overjoyed, when I found this switch, with which you can mark and copy text in commandline:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console]

"Quickedit"=dword:00000001

You just have to mark text and then click one time with the right mouse button. Unfortunately this doesn't work with the keyboard, but it's better than nothing.

Does anyone know, howto enable this also working for the keyboard?

Easy, I had the same, just put


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

;Gets rid of anoying popup for running files you download from internet
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Download]
"CheckExeSignatures"="no"
"RunInvalidSignatures"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Attachments]
"SaveZoneInformation"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Associations]
"LowRiskFileTypes"=".zip;.rar;.nfo;.txt;.exe;.bat;.com;.cmd;.reg;.msi;.htm;.html;.gif;.bmp;.jpg;.avi;.mpg;.mpeg;.mo
v;.mp3;.m3u;.wav;"

Enjoy ;)

If you have a long string such "LowRiskFileTypes"=".zip;.rar;........

you must use slash (\) !!! to divide line... So it must look like :

"LowRiskFileTypes"=".zip;.rar;.nfo;.txt;.exe;\
.bat;.com;.cmd;.reg;.msi;.htm;.html;\
.gif"

maybe there is your problem....

And if you export reg key with long strings you must EDIT it !

Well i dont know what to say guys but i tried what you said and still nothing. I tried the \ thing between the long strings so that key would import and that did not work. So i just imported a few of the file type extentions just to test to see if once imported the file would run without the prompt but no luck.

I tried downloading the file after the settings where imported still nothing

I think there must be some other key involved becuase when i downloaded a file and uncheck the box that said "allow this file to be run or whatever" when i got the prompt no keys where created in the registry similar to what i was importing. unchecking that box must change something elsewhere in the registry.

please let me know any other ideas.

thanx

You can accomplish this with the keyboard without this tweak

Mark your desired text using your mouse

ALT-Space

e

Then select y to copy the text to the clipboard, p to paste etc.

Much thanks Gee, but
Mark your desired text using your mouse

is exactly what I don't want to have. I want to be able to mark text only using the keyboard.

You don't need to use the mouse at all.

In your Command Prompt

ALT-Space

e

k (To mak text)

Now use the cursor keys to navigate to the area you want to mark. Once you arrive there, use the shift key and the cursor keys to mark the area.

When you are finished marking the area, hit enter

then

ALT-Space

e

y (To Copy the area you just marked onto the clipboard)

Hi All,

I am hoping you guys can help me out or at least point me in the right direction. I have completed an unattended installation DVD and it works great except for two things. Let me try and explain.

Once the build is completed XP sp1, applications and Reg Tweaks are installed, all works flawlessly when I log in as the local user. The only issue I am having is that two of the reg tweaks i put in do not work when I log in as someone else or log in to the domain. The tweaks are simple but I dont understand why they dont carry on to all users who log on. The reg tweaks are;

(use of classic search)

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

"Settings"=hex:0c,00,02,00,0a,01,f8,75,60,00,00,00

"FullPath"=dword:00000000

"Use Search Asst"="no"

and

(use of start homepage)

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]

"Default_Page_URL"="dsaweb"

"Default_Search_URL"="http://www.microsoft.com/isapi/redir.dll?prd=ie&ar=iesearch"

62,00,6c,00,61,00,6e,00,6b,00,2e,00,68,00,74,00,6d,00,00,00

"Anchor_Visitation_Horizon"=hex:01,00,00,00

"Placeholder_Width"=hex:1a,00,00,00

"Placeholder_Height"=hex:1a,00,00,00

"Start Page"="dsaweb"

Thanks in advance...

Hi Doc Symbiosis, (and anybody else who would like to give me a hand) :hello:

This is my setup;

In my cmdlines.txt

[COMMANDS]

"RunOnceEx.cmd" <-- Installs apps, and this is where these tweaks are.

".\sav.cmd" <---Installs NAV

".\fixaccts.cmd" <--- Setups user accounts

"REGEDT32.EXE /S tweaks.reg" <---- last part of tweaks.

.......................................................................

This is my RunOnceEx.cmd;

cmdow @ /HID

@echo off

FOR %%i IN (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%i:\CD.txt SET CDROM=%%i:

You have to make sure, that the HKCU Tweaks also are contained in the Default Users profile ( HKU\.Default ), otherwise, only the HKLM Tweaks are taken for all users, who log on the PC.

How do i do that?

Thanks,

Express :}

@ Express

You will probably need to lose the following line:

"Settings"=hex:0c,00,02,00,0a,01,f8,75,60,00,00,00

It will be different, depending upon the accumulation of all of your explorer settings.

Also if you want to to the same thing for the IE search try this

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"Use Search Asst"="no"
