My collection so far. I've snagged a few from elsewhere and modified.
Make sure to use Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 at top REGEDIT4 don't seem to work that well anymore

Start On Desktop was originally done by Josh Cell Softwares and opens Start but then switches to desktop
I just wanted a reg tweak to apply to my Unattended so wouldn't have to start a new program.
Drawback to this is it will open Documents folder when desk opens but you can easily close it. Done same thing with Josh program here.

I am using %systemroot%\explorer.exe /e,/root,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D} to open it on root of Computer
I changed this to %windir%\explorer.exe "" which works better and don't open new windows

EDIT: Add right Click File Explorer Nov 16 2012 02:47 PM
I changed this to %windir%\explorer.exe "" which works better and don't open new windows. I also set at "Position"="Top" cause I'm in there more than anything else and that is first thing on the right click.

Here are some more tweaks, all performance oriented, that are valid for Windows 7 and Windows 8. Some of the tweaks are really only beneficial for x64 (such as the memory management settings), but it won't hurt x86.

' MAVERICKS CHOICE', you have the paging file settings listed in your tweaks, those settings aren't applicable to others and may actually be problematic.

Also, you have 'EnableLUA' set to 0. This is what I prefer too, but it does have a noticeable downside. If set to 0, you cannot use Metro Apps in Windows 8. If you have it enabled, you can use Metro Apps, but it prevents you from doing some other things, and also it can cause all sorts of problems with non-system drives with files created under Windows 7. Just thought I'd point that out!

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management]
;setting the following to ffffffff doesn't specifically set it to that size, it signals Windows to maximise the potential of the two settings as required. This is ideal, especially for x64 environments.
"PagedPoolSize"=dword:ffffffff
"SystemPages"=dword:ffffffff
"PoolUsageMaximum"=dword:0000003c

;the following may actually not have any effect on Windows 7 or 8, but is a setting still being able to be set through fsutil (even in Windows 8). Don't know why if it is useless. In any case, if it is useless, then it can't hurt changing the value from '1' to '2', right?!

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Filesystem]
"NtfsMemoryUsage"=dword:00000002

;the following values increases the maximum transfer size of USB to 2MB (from the default of 64KB). This may lead to better USB transfer rates. This is only valid when update KB2581464 or successors (and Windows 8) is installed.
;also the USB interface, which is the last bit in the keyname, may vary between systems. The following are the defaults for the Intel USB on Z77 boards, and also for the Etron USB controller. You will need to add other controllers (Asmedia etc) yourself by navigating to the registry path and copying the USB interface number into the code below. You can simply copy and paste the two lines for additional USB interfaces and change them as required.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbstor\054C00C1]
"MaximumTransferLength"=dword:00200000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbstor\05AC12xx]
"MaximumTransferLength"=dword:00200000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbstor\05AC13xx]
"MaximumTransferLength"=dword:00200000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbstor\05DCA431]
"MaximumTransferLength"=dword:00200000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbstor\058F6362]
"MaximumTransferLength"=dword:00200000

;this increases the handle limit. The defaults shouldn't actually be exceeded, but the values below certainly don't hurt and can be beneficial in certain 'rare' circumstances.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows]
"GDIProcessHandleQuota"=dword:00008000
"USERProcessHandleQuota"=dword:00008000

;the following may give better performance in games (some of these may already be at the following levels). Basically it supposedly raises the game processing priority, same as those dodgy programs that you have to pay for, but this does the same thing.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Multimedia\SystemProfile\Tasks\Games]
"Scheduling Category"="High"
"SFIO Priority"="High"
"Background Only"="False"
"Priority"=dword:00000001
"GPU Priority"=dword:00000001
"Affinity"=dword:00000001

somebody posted part of this but I can't find it again.
Right click System Tools on Desktop works on Win 7 and Win 8

I modified a bit adding a few things and eliminate defrag since that is not needed in Win 7 or 8
I've been trying to get this to work on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\Background\shell so it will appear anywhere in Explorer also but unable as of yet

What I find really useful is checking my Hotfixes with Systeminfo + Hotfix(s) to file. Creates listing right on desktop

I did find again here http://unlockforus.b...op-control.html Method #2 – Softwares and System Tools Menu (3 Sub-Menu only) but they used HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and I prefer HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

Have moved this to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\Background so will appear in all folders including Desktop
This will remove old way just on desktop

Decided to experiment and add all my most used stuff to my right click. Reasoning is Win 8 don't have the Quick Launch and Start menu pinned which I used for such a long time.
I eliminate both those with this and it works from any folder including desktop

Show Desktop - What I done was create a ShowDesktop.vbs file on C: drive and copy this in there

CreateObject("Shell.Application").ToggleDesktop

Thats it I have eliminated my need for Quick Launch completely

These are not all as in the picture but represents how to add things from Program Files (x86) and such
 Quick Launch Background.reg (6.83K)

EDIT: I renamed to what it used to be Quick Launch. Works with Win 7 and 8

DosProbe: Can you please post a reg or zip file of all the 200+ tweaks you use?

Or a link to drop box, etc with the above zip or reg file?

No Problem, Fixing to head out of town for a few days, but when I get back I will pm them over to you or post here whatever works..

Hi DosProbie, I know I am rehashing an old thread, but did you ever get a chance to post your Reg tweak file? If not, it would be greatly appreciated if you can, finding the right tweaks for Windows 8 has been a challenge and MSFN is the only sight where I have seen the most activity.

Thanks in advance

most the things worked in Windows 7 will work with Win 8. Thing is you have to test things and see if they work for your machine since no two are setup the same except OEM when first recieved

[DosProbie]

MaxX is correct, most of the XP and 7 tweaks will work for Win8 and some like UAC disable that worked for 7 will not work for 8 etc..Check you PM circuittravler..DP
