Useful Registry Settings

[jcarle]

The following registry settings would be very useful in a future version of nLite... would you take it into consideration nuhi?

Prevents IE from saving zone information (stops that damned dialog that pops up when you open a file that was downloaded from the internet)!

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Attachments]
"SaveZoneInformation"=dword:00000001

Allows the use of http://username@password:www.address.com/ in the URL (also useful for FTP in IE/Explorer).

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_HTTP_USERNAME_PASSWORD_DISABLE]
"iexplore.exe"=dword:00000001
"explorer.exe"=dword:00000001

Prevents computer from becoming a master browser on the network.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser\Parameters]
"MaintainServerList"="No"

Turn off Security Center warning popup balloons.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center]
"FirstRunDisabled"=dword:00000001
"AntiVirusDisableNotify"=dword:00000001
"FirewallDisableNotify"=dword:00000001
"UpdatesDisableNotify"=dword:00000001

nuhi?

[albator]

You can apply them by hand.

[nuhi]

Yes?

You better talk to r3incarnat0r, he's my Tweaks selector.

this is already in nLite

[r3incarnat0r]

The following registry settings would be very useful in a future version of nLite...

Prevents IE from saving zone information: Already requested here. I wanted to add also IE signature disabling to it, but didn't concur in that with nuhi somehow. Gonna try it again.

Allows the use of username@password in the URL: Available in nLite as Re-Enable user:pass URLs in the Security branch. Btw it must be set to 00000000 to work.

MaintainServerList & Security Center notifications: Worked up and sent to nuhi, it's up to him now.

Available as two different options I hope?

I must have missed that somehow. And yes, you're right... were the hell did those 1s come from? INFILTRATORS! ALERT!

MaintainServerList & Security Center notifications: Worked up and sent to nuhi, it's up to him now.

The security center notification just makes sense.

The MaintainServerList is so very useful in helping to resolve network browsing issues in networks without a domain controller. I've used that fix in so many of my clients computers, it's insane.

Hi people.

I'm new to the forum.

I think nlite is great and you might want to add the following tweaks:

Run 16-bit applications in their own process (stability).

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\WOW]
"DefaultSeparateVDM"="Yes"

Stop Windows from looking for Scheduled Tasks when browsing network.

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RemoteComputer\NameSpace\{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}]
@="Scheduled Tasks"

make default action on .reg file 'edit' instead of 'merge'.

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\regfile\shell]
@="edit"

Set 'Fixedsys' Font in Notepad.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Notepad]
"lfFaceName"="Fixedsys"

Word Wrap in Notepad. (0=Disable, 1=Enable)

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Notepad]
"fWrap"=dword:00000001

Enable the Network Adapter Onboard Processor. (0=Use NIC Processor, 1=Disable NIC Processor).

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters]
"DisableTaskOffload"=dword:00000000

disabling offline files.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\NetCache]
"Enabled"=dword:00000000

[r3incarnat0r]

Prepares a giant 50 mile list of tweaks for r3incarnat0r.

Much time is taken by thinking out the Tips (for all me).

So don't forget to include them, too.

Run 16-bit applications in their own process (stability).

Already available. See Performance > Run 16-bit Windows applications in a separate process.

Stop Windows from looking for Scheduled Tasks when browsing network.

Already available as Network > Remove remote-computer NameSpace. It removes both Printers and Scheduled Tasks CLSIDs.

make default action on .reg file 'edit' instead of 'merge'.

TBH I like this tweak, hope that nuhi will accept it.

Notepad tweaks

Well, I'm not sure if nuhi wants applications tweaks. Maybe there could be created an extra new branch such as "Applications" or anything like that in the last resort for this kind of tweaks. Let us wait for nuhi's opinion.

DisableTaskOffload and disabling offline files

These seem to be good ones, thanks.
