b0r3d Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Im not going to do all your researching for you, but i can point you in the right direction.This website will most probably contain all the tweaks your looking for. Click me All you need to do is locate the registry tweaks your looking for, throw them in a text file, save it as a .reg file, and silently merge it to the registry.
