...you can change the notepad font in it's menu anyways... Those look like some useful tweaks... How safe is that set of tweaks, though? |

It's from a friend me and him were developing a Windows Xp Clean Cd, (Pretty Much trying to disable services and take off unwauted program's)
like I said this is just a Tweak, it's small yes and probable wont boost performance that much. |

Uh yeah, that includes a lot of tweaks people probably won't want. Changing the font in Notepad, disabling hibernation and allowing the recycle bin to be renamed really don't belong with performance-related tweaks. There's also a lot of side effects to be aware of.
-Speed up NTFS performance prevents the Last Accessed date from being updated, which some people actually use. I'm not even sure what Win95TruncatedExtensions is for. -Disable IMAPI CD Burning means many CD burning programs, not just the one built in, won't work. -Changing MenuShowDelay is NOT recommended. That delay is there for a reason; without it, you get like 3 or 4 different submenus popping up at once as you go through a menu, which is really annoying and can confuse programs. It doesn't only apply to the Start menu as some people believe; it applies to every menu. -Disabling Messenger Service is usually a good thing, but there are people who use that. (Messenger Service = net send.) -Enable Word Wrap in Notepad... er, this is pretty easy to do, just look in the menu. -Disable Hibernation? Why? -Disabling the indexing service can improve performance, but it makes searches slower. -Disabling the Help And Support service is only recommended if you know what you're doing. The troubleshooter may be useless 90% of the time, but for people who aren't computer-savvy, it can be a good thing. So yeah, be careful what you tweak. BTW, did you copy this from somewhere or did you make it? It looks a lot like the big tweak files you see at other sites. |

Merge it into the registry with a rightclick and go to "MERGE" or give it a double-click, click yes when prompted. Reboot for the changes to take effect. You can personalize your new regedit file to meet your specific needs and likes anytime with a rightclick and go to "edit", just delete anything you don't want it to do. Save the file in a safe place for future use, I use a customised one on every OS install! |
