March 28, 200620 yr Hi All,Iam having a few issues trying to tweek my XP install. I am using Batch files to install my apps and call my tweek.reg file in commandline.txt. The file is as follows...Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Tour]"RunCount"=dword:00000000[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Tour]"RunCount"=dword:00000000[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server]"fAllowToGetHelp"=dword:00000000"fDenyTSConnections"=dword:00000001[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SSDPSRV]"Start"=dword:00000004[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\upnphost]"Start"=dword:00000004[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] "NoInternetIcon"=dword:00000000[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] "NoInternetIcon"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\CleanupWiz]"NoRun"=dword:00000001[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]"SmoothScroll"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]"UserPreferencesMask"=hex:90,32,07,80[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]"FontSmoothingType"=dword:00000002"FontSmoothing"="2""FontSmoothingType"=dword:00000002[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DirectPlayNATHelp\DPNHUPnP]"UPnPMode"=dword:00000002[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]"Start Page"="http://sadie/"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DriverSearching]"DontSearchWindowsUpdate"=dword:00000001"DontPromptForWindowsUpdate"=dword:00000001[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{540D8A8B-1C3F-4E32-8132-530F6A502090}]@="Language bar""MenuTextPUI"="@%SystemRoot%\System32\msutb.dll,-325"[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel]"{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000000"{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000000"{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"=dword:00000000I am trying to disable the fade effect for the menus and tool tips and set the smooth edges for screen fonts to smooth. I believe from the above reg changes i am on the right lines but its not changing it.Also I have looked in a lot of places to try and find a way to disable Internet Gateway Device Discovery and Control Client. It is found in Add/remove programs---Windows componants---then Network compnoants.I ve tried once again in the above to change it through some settings i have found relating to gateways, but to no avail.If anyone can help with the above it would be much appreciated.Thanks for your time and support.
March 28, 200620 yr I think that your \Control Panel\Desktop keys (at least, i did not parse your file thoroughly) will be overwritten by the Theme manager upon your first logon.Your best bet may be to - tune your settings, - export a Theme with all that, - and load it when installing.Make a try and then tell us about the remaining stuff.
March 29, 200620 yr I am trying to disable the fade effect for the menus...UserPreferencesMask is your key here. Search for it (it takes rather complex values). But I don't know what happens during install phase and whether it gets overwritten.GL
March 29, 200620 yr I thought it was spelled "tweak". Anyway, the UserPreferencesMask holds a variety of settings. Use Google to find out what each one is.
March 29, 200620 yr Author The Themes are not affecting the effects.I wanted to have the transition effect off for all users aswell as having smooth edges set to clear type.
March 29, 200620 yr Author I tried putting the 28 in the UserPreferencesMask in the second binary value. Still no joy.I monitored those values as i manually changed the effects from desktop properties. Those values are not changing...Intresting as I have visited a few sites and they all say use 28 to turn it off.
