regtweaks HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE or current user?


Recommended Posts

I have some tweaks I want to import in my regtweak for my XPsp2 slipstream, can someone explain to me if it's neccessary to import the following to both CU OR LM keys? Or will importing in one effect the other as well?

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]

"NoSimpleStartMenu"=dword:00000001

"StartMenuLogoff"=dword:00000001

"NoStartMenuHelp"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]

"NoSimpleStartMenu"=dword:00000001

"StartMenuLogoff"=dword:00000001

"NoStartMenuHelp"=dword:00000001

NoStartMenuHelp should be NoSMHelp.

These policies are only HKCU keys; there aren't HKLM equivalents. Not ALL HKCU keys have their HKLM counterparts so you can't just make them up.

Applying HKCU keys at T-12 will affect ALL users, as outlined in the UA Guide.

Thanks for the tips.

Are these tweaks nessesary?

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters]

"EnablePrefetcher"=dword:00000003

- will it really boot faster?

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AlwaysUnloadDLL]

@="1"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management]

"DisablePagingExecutive"=dword:00000001

"LargeSystemCache"=dword:00000001

"IoPageLockLimit"=dword:00020000

And also I been search for a way to turn on the "classic start menu" without actually totally disabling the other option. Is that possible?

"EnablePrefetcher"=dword:00000003 means both boot and prog prefetch.

I only use "EnablePrefetcher"=dword:00000002, meaning boot prefetch only.

The problem with program prefetch is, every single prog you run even once, including cmd, will get a prefetch file created. I think this is not helpful, but you can decide what's best for you.

"DisablePagingExecutive"=dword:00000001

"LargeSystemCache"=dword:00000001

"IoPageLockLimit"=dword:00020000

These aren't applicable (IoPageLockLimit) or useful (the other two) in XP.

I don't understand the query on classic menu options, since I don't use it.

I wonder what "NoSimpleStartMenu" is for!

And also I been search for a way to turn on the "classic start menu" without actually totally disabling the other option. Is that possible?

What is "the other option"?
