:D 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: [email protected].

Any problems, PM me. :)
