As per the request of forum mod Allanol I have started this thread. Attachted is the most recent updated file. Please see this Link for the prevoius thread. as said by prathapml in last thread

It contains registry tweaks that you can use during your unattended installs. For the sake of having a new beginning, an attachment is here, containing most of the registry tweaks from Part1 (made and sorted by JohnnyDo). Copy/Paste whatever tweaks you want from it into your RegTweaks.reg. It was checked by many here, and found good. DO NOT USE THE ATTACHED FILE DIRECTLY - it is ONLY FOR REFERENCE. Use only the tweaks that you really need, and can understand.

It would be good for searching, if this thread had only registry tweaks that aren't already found in the ZIP file. Also, off-topic chit-chat being kept to a minimum would be nice. smile.gif

Please read the entire set of tweaks in this attachment, before submitting a new tweak. And use the [CODE]blocks for registry code.

Please note that prathapml has stated he will update the reg tweaks again when he has time.In the meantime please using the following file

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcen...s_usr_akke.mspx

Dont think its a registry setting.

[Brando569]

close enough thanks

[war59312]

Yeap, no problem.

Take Care,
Will

BTW can a mod edit the first post to include a link to Registry Tweakage .net post.

Just a though. Think post new comers would find that very usefull.

[Sgt_Strider]

Thanks for the link, but there is no information on there on how to remove the links and favourites folder in Internet Explorer. Does anyone here have the registry tweaks for that? Thanks.

Make a batch file with these lines.

REM ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REM ----- The Following line makes account passwords not expire after 14 days
REM ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited

REM ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How can I customise a size of my Quick Launch?

[Marthax]

@Sgt Strider: Use this:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar]
"LinksFolderName"=""

A long with a batch file which executes this:

@ECHO OFF
IF EXIST %SYSTEMDRIVE%\SYSTEM32\CMDOW.EXE CMDOW @ /HID
IF EXIST "%USERPROFILE%\FAVORITES\LINKS" RD /S /Q "%USERPROFILE%\FAVORITES\LINKS"

If you want to remove the favorites folder then change it to favorites and you'll delete the links aswell.

Hope that helped!

Marthax

@DmitryOlenin :

I found this on a forum:

Quote

quick launch size right click quick launch bar when unlocked > View > Large Icons

Hope this helps,

Marthax

EDIT:

@Brando569: I guess that the thing that mr.bo was trying to say is that you are supposed to remove that line. That's why he uses "REM" all the way on every line.

;Disable IE Links Bar
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbars\Restrictions]
"NoLinksBar"=dword:00000001

Well, it's good.
I want to resize my Quick Launch bar with many shortcuts using registry tweak after Unattended Install.
Can you help me?

[Marthax]

Use regshot while performing it manually and you should discover something. At least, it's a start.

This one has been done, please try to use the search function. I did a search for "Quick Launch" and got several threads answering this question, or a variation of it.

Here's a few links, hopefully they will help you out. I just don't feel up to explaining it...again.

Maybe I am a stupid, but I can't create QL of my dreams

Cartoonite said:

For best results using this tweak, I suggest setting you Taskbar up the way you like and then exporting the following value from your registry:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop]
"TaskbarWinXP"=

`Felix` said:

Ok simply set the icons in your quick launch bar the way you want them, and then do a complete restart of windows. [some of the settings will only be saved with a complete restart - not simply logging off]
Then after your restart open regedit and export the following keys

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects2]

I got it all. But it's no results Help me please.

P.S.
Windows XP SP2 eng + Nlite + RyanVM's Update Pack + Drivers

[Marthax]

I think you would get help much quicker if you would create a new topic on this particular subject and we are also currently disobeying glent's wishes about keeping this thread as clean as possible.
