HELP - Desperately need REG keys... - Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003

August 8, 200521 yr

Hiya, thanks for reading.

I need to be able to apply these following tweaks to all windows...

1. Icons (Not tiles)

2. Do not show in groups

3. Auto Arrange icons

4. Use Windows classic (No common tasks)

5. Open each folder in its own window

Also, it would be nice to autoarrange the desktop and simply turn on quicklaunch easily.

Please help, much appreciated

two things,

1; i'm guessing you looked in the regtweak sticky and parts 1, 2 & 3 and they weren't listed

2; use regsnap, install, run, make change, re-run and use differences to create your keys as required.

Yeah I've been using Microsoft Windiff to do this. But I make a small change and try to analyse and there are differences all over the place in the registry.

There are minor changes all over the place!

Any tips? Is regsnap better than Windiff? Where can I get it?

Cheers

Lots of people on this forum us it.

It literally only takes a snap of your registry and shows which keys are modified or created, so you can manually get them or use the prog to generate for you.

Very easy to use and free if you use while in the try period.

Not used windiff, but sound like it does the job but takes note of to much stuff to me.

To try WinDiff for yourself (amongst a hundered other microsoft windows support tools) try this...

Get your XP CD and browse to support/tools/setup.exe and install fully.

After install find the tools in C:/Program Files/Support Tools or use the command prompt to run them from your programs list as they have advanced switches for running from command prompt.

There's lots
