| Make an automated regedit file to perform many tweaks at once!
Create a regedit file as described below, it's an easy way to perform a lot of tweaks at once and it really does make quite a difference! Here's a list of exactly what it does: -Speeds up NTFS performance -Speeds up shutdown/reboot time -Boot Optimization - boot ini from hard disk -Disables Imapi CD-Burning Service - No need for this if you use Nero or other burning engine -Disables Remote Registry Service - do you remotely control your registry? lol...I sure don't. -Allows renaming of Recycle Bin, I like TRASH! heheh -Disables Automatic Restart in the event of a BSOD - it can actually help to see what that screen says sometimes, hehe -DNS Browsing speed up tweak -Disables the Desktop Cleanup Wizard -Changes MenuShowDelay from 400 to 0 -Disables Messenger Service, nothing to do with msn -Changes max downloads in IE from 2 to 10 -Enables Google As Main/Default Search Page -Fixes DSO Exploit problem found by Spybot S&D -Enables Opening Of .nfo Files In Notepad -Enables Tahoma Font In Notepad - very easy to read! -Enables Word Wrap In Notepad - AWESOME! -Disables Grouping Of Similar Taskbar Buttons -Removes the Windows Alexa key -Disables Hibernation -Disables Unread Mail Message At Welcome Screen -Disables the Indexing Service -Disables the Remote Desktop Help Session Manager Service -Disables Routing and Remote Access Service -Disables the Help And Support Service -Disables the Remote-Desktop Service -Sorts start menu and favorites alphabetically Do this with the registry entries below: ************begin copy and paste*********** Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ;Speed up NTFS performance [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem] "Win31FileSystem"=dword:00000000 "Win95TruncatedExtensions"=dword:00000001 "NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate"=dword:00000001 ;Speeds up shutdown or reboot time a lot [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control] "WaitToKillServiceTimeout"="2000" ;This allows boot files to be placed optimally on the hard-drive for faster boots.

Go to file>save as” save it as regedit.reg, you may have a drop down window for “save as type” - it’s set to .txt by default so change this to “all file types”, save it then close and you’re almost done! 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! (edited by Acrelvl on 05-14-06 12:33 PM) |

| 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. |

| 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. (edited by Acrelvl on 05-15-06 03:30 PM) |

| ...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? | |||
