v0.4 has been released long time ago, new software also has been released. Why there still no update for the regtweaks collection?

New regtweaks just doesn't appear very often anymore. There is a limit to what you can do/tweak with a particular software and with these it's getting close to that. Sure there are some more, minor and 3rd party program tweaks, that can be added but there probably isn't anything major left. People just don't feel the need to try finding any more tweaks, also many people have moved on to Vista. If the actual tweak file hasn't been updated, the one who updates it is maybe more interested in other things.

Is there anything special you would like to be done, either a tweak you need or you just want the file to be updated?

[Solace]

Nice package of tweaks i went through the ALL folder and reconfigured some a few things to my settings.

I also created a list of the issues not being critical but may cause some confusion to others duplicated entries under some areas with minor description details etc... anyways heres a list of what i came upon.

Found Issues.

Right click on My computer for Device Manager never work for me. Can somebody help me?

[Yzöwl]

The command used in the supplied reg is missing a switch, uses a variable requiring a different data type and can be shortened.

Change this:

 
;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

; Adds Device Manager to right click of My Computer

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\DevMgr]
@="Device Manager"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\DevMgr\command]
@="mmc.exe %%SYSTEMDRIVE%%\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM32\\devmgmt.msc"
;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 

To this:

 
;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

; Adds Device Manager to right click of My Computer

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\Device Manager\command]
@=hex(2):6d,00,6d,00,63,00,2e,00,65,00,78,00,65,00,20,00,2f,00,73,00,20,00,25,\
  00,73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,72,00,6f,00,6f,00,74,00,25,00,5c,00,\
  73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,00,5c,00,64,00,65,00,76,00,6d,\
  00,67,00,6d,00,74,00,2e,00,6d,00,73,00,63,00,00,00
;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 

Or shorter still: this:

 
;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

; Adds Device Manager to right click of My Computer

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\Device Manager\command]
@="mmc -s devmgmt.msc"
;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 

If it still doesn't work it's not the command that's at fault, it's your system.

Hey guys,

Sry for the question, but exactly how can I add these tweaks (or any registry tweak) into my own unattended XP install? Where should I copy it or what should I write? Pls, redirect me if I'm in the wrong topic.

Thx

THX for the help, but I still don't find the answer I'm looking for. I'm now trying to work on an XP for my computer and include the tweaks mentioned above. Because the text only says how to make it work on the computer, but I would like to put it into the install CD and install it silently with the WinXP install. Anybody confused?

[DL.]

Read all parts of the guide thoroughly until you get everything, not just about the tweaks/registry stuff.

The easiest way to add the reg-tweaks is to use cmdlines.txt.

I've already answered this question for you yadzil.

If you cannot be bothered reading through the handful of responses since your question was asked, why should we bother answering them. If you still cannot be bothered, then click on your name in the previous paragraph and it'll take you there.

[yadzil]

Sorry Yzöwl for double post. And how about my other questions?

[moostach]

Creating my unattended & multiboot dvd I arrived to the 3 previous topics with over 100 pages to finish here. I just want to thank all people who have contributing to this amazing work and all hours (should say weeks or months) to make it. Congratulations folks.
