Some tweaks required for Vista

[yronnen]

Hi,

With XP I had Powertoys to do the job, but it won't work with Vista, so I have couple of questions:

1. How do I disable the integral CD recording feature?

2. How can I change the default location of the Favorites folder?

Thanks.

"1. How do I disable the integral CD recording feature?"

Try this:

Start - Run - gpedit.msc - expand 'User Configuration' - Expand 'Administrative Templates' - expand 'Windows Components' - click on 'Windows Explorer' - in right pane locate 'Remove CD burning features' and right click on it and choose 'Properties' then on 'Setting' tab click 'Enable' then 'Apply'

I think there may be a registry entry for disabling the cd recording feature but i haven't verified it works yet so i'm not going to post it at this time. I only post reg tweaks for Vista that I know work, so if I get some time to play around with it and find it works i'll post it in the Vista tweaks and Tips section.

"2. How can I change the default location of the Favorites folder?"

In explorer right click on the Favorites folder and choose properties. Then click on the 'Location' tab. Self explainatory from there.

Just what I needed...Thanks.

The best way is not to disable UAC on Vista - but to run the installer 'as Administrator' by right clicking - works a treat!
