Last night I did a re-format and thought to myself, damn I'm gonna have to re-do all my settings, tweak everything how I like it. I know a lot of people have done this before, but, I used a few pre-done registry files and editted and added me own registry edits.

I just finished it about 10 minutes ago, I warn you, it hasn't been throughly tested and I urge you to check through the files yourself before running the update program. I have to thank Creamhackered for helping me write the batch file that automatically updates your system and prompts you to re-boot at the end.

I have listed below every single tweak inside the registry files which are applied, which catergory they come under and which registry file they are stored in.

If you wish to not install a catergory / set on registry edits, go into install.bat and find the catergory like this:

echo Patched - 10%
desktop.reg /y

and change the /y to /n. This will not to patch that registry file and skip it.

I do not accept damage, corruption, loss, of data because of usage of this registry patch. It has been tested on SP2 XP Pro Machines and produced no errors. You use it at your own risk.

I hope you all enjoy my set of tweaks, etc, to suggest more and other things I could add to future releases, email me at: noserver@gmail.com.

Any problems, PM me.

Cool I'm going to try it out when I next format

Thanks!

pretty cool, thanks

Cool anyone got any problems/comments?

sorry i would not dare download a random .reg key no matter how fun it sounds, ill do my own tweakin thanks

Ok, thats your choice. It has been tested a lot, and everyone I know thats used it likes it.

just to make sure.. i like other ppl to test stuff like this

Works very nicely, Recommended

Cool Thanks.

very good mx, thanks, can't wait for new versions. I recommend it

fOoL stop posting that crap, that isn't what my thing disables. It only disables the services it says and thats 4 services.

i have a question.

did you go through and check what you wanted to do? or did you just do it all?

just wondering


and what good comes out of this, just out of a curiosty

What good? The good is everything that is tweaked, and thats in a full list above. Did I go through? Yes I've go through every reg tweak, made sure it works, etc. Then I split the huge reg update into 8 smaller reg files,

ok

Simply Agreed

thanks
awsome work

hehe cool, glad you like it and find it useful.

Tested the update and everything is running smoothly..

its on a fresh system too, and i can assure everyone that all my stuff seems to be working correctly..

Good Work that man..

I just used it works great just one thing.

How can remove the text where it shows my os and service pack off my desktop?

Open the desktop.reg file in notepad or a text editor & remove these lines from it & save.

;Show Windows Version on Desktop
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"PaintDesktopVersion"=dword:00000001

I mean after I ran it? I already ran it. So will if I do that and run it again will it remove it?

Oh sorry I didnt get you earlier.

You could either go to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop from the registry & delete the key "PaintDesktopVersion" which is located on the right pane.

Or you can create another reg file in notepad with the contents given below,save it with a ".reg" extension & then double-click it.

;Show Windows Version on Desktop
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"PaintDesktopVersion"=dword:00000000
