Help with these Registry Tweaks...

[bigred]

I used regshot to try to find registry tweaks for a few things....some of them worked but these ones didn't...

I'm assuming that they won't work, no matter what I do...but I thought I'd post them just in case somebody had an idea as to how I could get them to work...

;Change the number of Items in the Start Panel
[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1482476501-113007714-842925246-1003\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"Start_MinMFU"=dword:00000000

;Enable the Windows XP Start Menu
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]
"ShellState"=hex:24,00,00,00,3c,28,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\
  01,00,00,00,0d,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00

;Remove My Pics & Music from Start Menu...and remove taskbar grouping

Some won't work unless you reboot. And registry keys containing values such as S-1-5-21-1482476501-113007714-842925246-1003 is different on every Windows XP Setup

I should have clarified...my computer won't even let me import these (from within Windows)....it just says it can't assess the registry...

Put this line at the beginning of your .reg file (assuming it isn't there already)

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

Yah...I already had that...think I just had some badly created regiistry files...
