oioldman Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 if your on about changing it to clissic view, so you see allin the control panel, then, yes, it is storedin the registry under this key [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]"ForceClassicControlPanel"=dword:00000001and i found it doing a regshot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camarade_Tux Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I have used regshot but with no luck.If you're using rehgshot or any similar tool, you have to select "Apply to all folders" in tools, folder options, display when changing view. Otherwise it only gets applied to the current window (when it does). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise it only gets applied to the current window (when it does).But that's exactly what I want.I have list view in Windows Explorer and I want Icon view in Control Panel Edited May 20, 2006 by JohnS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twig123 Posted May 22, 2006 Author Share Posted May 22, 2006 Still looking for how to make the control panel into Classic "Icon View" instead of "Detail View" like it is ATM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnS Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 (edited) Well, I think I have got it.Thumbnail View [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags\1\Shell]"Vid"="{8BEBB290-52D0-11D0-B7F4-00C04FD706EC}"Tile View[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags\1\Shell]"Vid"="{65F125E5-7BE1-4810-BA9D-D271C8432CE3}"Icon View[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags\1\Shell]"Vid"="{0057D0E0-3573-11CF-AE69-08002B2E1262}"List View[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags\1\Shell]"Vid"="{0E1FA5E0-3573-11CF-AE69-08002B2E1262}"Detail View[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags\1\Shell]"Vid"="{137E7700-3573-11CF-AE69-08002B2E1262}"Notes:1- It seems that you can apply these tweaks only when logged on. Otherwise they won't stick.2- That "1" after "Bags" is not always 1. If you open first Windows Explorer, 1 will be Windows Explorer and you will be applying the view to Explorer.If you open Control Panel after opening Windows Explorer, Control Panel will be 2.I solved that by, after first logon, opening and closing Control Panel and then aplying the view I want, all this with an Autoit Script. That way I know Control Panel will be 1 (I am ashame of my autoit script because of it's poor quality, so I wont post it). 3- I don't know why, but I have to open and close Control Panel twice so that the tweak get's applyed. I hope someone can explain that to me.4- Miniature View and Mosaic View possibly are not the names of the views in an english OS, but I don't know that. I translated it. Now it's ok - Thanks to mandrke.5- You have two ways of applying Classic Control View: I use "shell:controlpanelfolder" because that way one can allways choose category view.5- Finally, it works perfecly for me. I hope that this helps someone Edited July 20, 2006 by JohnS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twig123 Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 OMFG, I've Found A Miracle Cure!!!Set all of the settings that you want (ie: Desktop Icon Arrangement & Control Panel View)Then... Copy The NTUSER.DAT file (its a hidden file) to the "Default User" (again a hidden folder) under "Documents and Settings" to replace the existing file. Every time a new user is created, it will still have the same Icon Arrangement as well as Control Panel view!!!However, I have not tested this in an unattended windows install situation yet.Test it and let me know!
