Waauw that's a great menu you've got!

thanks for the tweak!

Ofcourse now I do have more questions...

How did you get 'unlocker' between seperators? or is that a program that automatically puts a link there?

-->I have Kaspersky AV, wich puts a link to scan My computer for viruses in this menu, between seperators.

Now I would like to put 'cleanup' and 'defrag' and 'remove software' also between the same seperators of Kaspersky (Unlocker in your example).

Just to keep the all the maintainance tasks seperated from the rest...

Also, you've got "Empty recycle bin" ! how did you do that?

I like the logoff/reboot/shutdown items to :D

EDIT:

;Removes Map Network Drive and Disconnect Network Drive From Tools Menu and My Network Places Right Click
;This also removes the Add Network Place Icon from an open My Network Place window and the Network Setup Icon
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoNetConnectDisconnect"=dword:00000001

Above tweak doesn't have any effect unfortunately...

EDIT2:

I discovered how to do it :)

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"NoNetConnectDisconnect"=dword:00000001

This works well!

Hey ZileXa,

Think I got you beat. :P

Hello,

Maybe a stupid question. Will it work if I change most of the HKCU to the HKU - .Default?

I want that these modifications are allready imported when a user log's on for the first time.

Regards,

Tim

ZileXa thats not necessarily true, I have done that as well, and it has not worked for me. That has been my question for a while now on a couple of these post. Which is how do you get them to work for any new user who log in. I can get it to work for the original user, but not for any new ones. I am talking about what I thought was a simple regtweak, to have the homepage set to what i want, the classic search, limit the history days, and so fourth. If you know how to make it work please let me know as well.

Thanks,

Express

Okay,

I will try that.

I just have one additional question, which I couldn't find in the tweaks.

1.

Which registry keys are changed when I optimize the PC manually :

- Right click on My Computer

- Properties

- Advanced

- Performance - Settings

Select custom and select only "use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop

2. The registry key for enable the Quick Lauch Bar

3. The registry key for disabling the language toolbar (left side of the clock)

I hope that these are my last questions, but you guys are a big help for me and

many others!

I'm sorry to ask for all of this, but it's new to me. :-)

Regards,

Tim

You can put certain settings into HKU\.DEFAULT and have them apply to all new users. I can never remember which ones work and which don't and it's not really the best way to do it. See below...

If you let cmdlines.txt execute your regtweaks.reg file, the HKCU tweaks will be the standard for all users created in the future

This only works during installation of the O/S. If done this way all new users will have the defaults you setup--assuming your original edits are all good.

ZileXa thats not necessarily true, I have done that as well, and it has not worked for me

Once your initial setup/installation is done you're right.

If you didn't do ZileXa's method when you setup your system and you want to make something that applies to all new users from now on, do the following:

  1. Log on w/non-Administrator privledges account. Preferably a new account. Doesn't matter what you call if or if you plan on using it, it's just to make a template, you can delete it later if you want;
  2. Set all desktop/user settings exactly the way you want them to be for all new users;
  3. Re-start;
  4. Log on using account w/Administrator privledges;
  5. Open the "System Control Panel Applet";
  6. Click on the "Advanced" tab at the top;
  7. Click the "Settings" button under the "User Profiles" section;
  8. Under "Profiles stored on this computer:" highlight the account you just made & configured;
  9. Click the "Copy To" button;
  10. Click the "Browse" button and navigate to the "Default User" folder under "Documents and Settings" and click "OK";
  11. Click the "Change" button. You'll get a message about over-writing existing files or something similar, just say OK or whatever.

When the copy process is completed all the settings you made on that new account will apply to any new accounts that get made.

Make sure you do not use an account w/Administrative privledges for your setup-sample account or new users w/o Administrative privledges will have problems using the new default settings.

You can even setup printers for new users this way.

Well first thing first. Unlocker is this program:

http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/

So install it and check out registry entries it makes to create the seperate. Not home right now. So cant remember.

Here is empty recycle bin:

;Add Empty Recycle Bin To Desktop 1
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}]
@="Empty Recycle Bin"

;Add Empty Recycle Bin To Desktop 2
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Empty Recycle Bin]
@="{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"

;Add Empty Recycle Bin To Desktop 3
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Empty Recycle Bin]
@="{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"

;Add Empty Recycle Bin To Desktop 4
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Empty Recycle Bin]
@="{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"

;Add Empty Recycle Bin To Desktop 5
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Empty Recycle Bin]
@="{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"

That's all of them.

Here is my logoff, shutdown, turn off monitor, and restarts:

;Adds LogOff to right click of MY Computer
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\[Log Off]\command]
@="LO.exe"

;Adds Reboot to right click of MY Computer
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\[Reboot]\command]
@="RB.exe"

;Adds Shutdown to right click of MY Computer
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\[Shut Down]\command]
@="SD.exe"

;Adds Turn Monitor Off to right click of MY Computer
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\[Turn Monitor Off]\command]
@="hide.exe MonOff.exe"

Of course u need the programs which I so kindaly upload here just for you. ;)

Put all of them in %systemroot%\system32\

http://s65.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0Q4RPRS...OC1R1CEDDMQXT64

All of them run silently. That is no stupid ms dos window. Well thats what hide is for when using MonOff.exe :)

And yea that method does seems to stick better. Though both do work.

@ cumminbk - Here you are

fixshell.cmd

@echo off
set key=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell
reg add %key% /ve /d "none" /f>nul
reg add %key%\find /ve /t reg_expand_sz /d "@%%SystemRoot%%\system32\SHELL32.dll,-8503" /f>nul
reg add %key%\find /v SuppressionPolicy /t reg_dword /d 128 /f>nul
reg add %key%\find\command /ve /t reg_expand_sz /d "%%SystemRoot%%\Explorer.exe">nul
reg add %key%\find\ddeexec /ve /d "[FindFolder(\"%%l\", %%I)]" /f>nul
reg add %key%\find\ddeexec\application /ve /d "Folders" /f>nul
reg add %key%\find\ddeexec\topic /ve /d "AppProperties" /f>nul
reg add %key%\Manage /ve /t reg_expand_sz /d "@%%windir%%\system32\mycomput.dll,-400" /f>nul
reg add %key%\Manage /v SuppressionPolicy /t reg_dword /d 1073741884 /f>nul
reg add %key%\Manage\command /ve /t reg_expand_sz /d "%%windir%%\system32\mmc.exe /s %%windir%%\system32\compmgmt.msc" /f>nul
goto :eof

I thought you'd prefer this format since hex .reg strings don't format correctly on the board!

Unfortunately, after installing Unlocker (great tool btw) it doesn't appear in the My Computer menu!

It does appear in all other rightclicks on folders and files.

Your 'Empty Recycle Bin' tweak appears also in all rightclick menus, if I rightclick on just some folder or drive it appears there also... I just want it in My Computer rightclick... I tried some things, unsuccesfull so far.

The Logoff/shutdown etc things are very handy. But actually I would like to see them when I right-click the Menu Start button, only in that menu. I don't know if thats possible.

Well first thing first. Unlocker is this program:

http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/

So install it and check out registry entries it makes to create the seperate. Not home right now. So cant remember.

Here is empty recycle bin:

;Add Empty Recycle Bin To Desktop 1
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}]
@="Empty Recycle Bin"

;Add Empty Recycle Bin To Desktop 2
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Empty Recycle Bin]
@="{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"

;Add Empty Recycle Bin To Desktop 3
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Empty Recycle Bin]
@="{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"

;Add Empty Recycle Bin To Desktop 4
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Empty Recycle Bin]
@="{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"

;Add Empty Recycle Bin To Desktop 5
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Empty Recycle Bin]
@="{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"

That's all of them.

Here is my logoff, shutdown, turn off monitor, and restarts:

;Adds LogOff to right click of MY Computer
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\[Log Off]\command]
@="LO.exe"

;Adds Reboot to right click of MY Computer
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\[Reboot]\command]
@="RB.exe"

;Adds Shutdown to right click of MY Computer
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\[Shut Down]\command]
@="SD.exe"

;Adds Turn Monitor Off to right click of MY Computer
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\[Turn Monitor Off]\command]
@="hide.exe MonOff.exe"

Well here is how to add unlocker to my computer right click context menu:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\Shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\UnlockerShellExtension]
@="{DDE4BEEB-DDE6-48fd-8EB5-035C09923F83}"

And since you said that I just relized clicking it does nothing though. So have no idea why the installer added it. Maybe a bug or something. But there is how none the less.

Well to just have empty recycle bin on my computer right click context menu then import this:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

;Delete The Empty Recycle Bins You Do Not Want
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Empty Recycle Bin]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Empty Recycle Bin]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Empty Recycle Bin]

;Add Empty Recycle Bin To My Computer Right Click Context Menu
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Empty Recycle Bin]
@="{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"

Also, here is how to add shutdown options on Start Button Right Click Context Menu:

DOES NOT WORK YET..HAVE TO ADD KEYS FOR IT

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

;Add Shutdown Options To Start Button Right Click Context Menu

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\[Log Off]]
@="LO.exe"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\[Reboot]]
@="RB.exe"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\[Shut Down]]
@="SD.exe"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\[Turn Monitor Off]]
@="hide.exe MonOff.exe"

Um I thought this would work but guess not. :(

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{DDE4BEEB-DDE6-48fd-8EB5-035C09923F21}]
@="TurnMonitorOff"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{DDE4BEEB-DDE6-48fd-8EB5-035C09923F21}\InProcServer32]
@="hide.exe MonOff.exe"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\TurnMonitorOff]
@="{DDE4BEEB-DDE6-48fd-8EB5-035C09923F21}"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\TurnMonitorOff]
@="{DDE4BEEB-DDE6-48fd-8EB5-035C09923F21}"

Anyone know how?

So to get rid of from my computer right click context menu import:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

;Delete Shutdown Options From My Computer Right Click Context Menu
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\[Log Off]]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\[Reboot]]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\[Shut Down]]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\[Turn Monitor Off]]

Take Care,

Will

NemoNada,

Thanks for the input for setting defaults for all users, I have done that before. I want to have it setup with the UA installation. I want to be able to apply the tweaks for any users that log on.

Thanks,
