Really cool tips

Published on February 1, 2005 By Foxjazz In Windows Software

I found some really cool tips in cpumag.com Just one of these is to make your computer run faster.

Below are some regedt32 mods you might can use:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\CONTROL\
PANEL\DESKTOP\MENUSHOWDELAY.) The default Value Data is 400, or 4/10 of a second. Change the Value Data to 0 for the least delay, and click OK.

Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\CONTROL\
FILESYSTEM. Right-click Filesystem, select New, and DWORD Value. Rename NewValue#1 on the right-side pane to DisableNTFSLast-AccessUpdate. Double-click this new entry, change the Value Data field from 0 to 1, and then click OK.

To set this, open HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\
WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\EXPLORER. Create a new DWORD Value called DesktopProcess, and set its Value Data to 1.

True, personally, I've never been afraid to "break" my computer, I'm a little bit of a daredevil in that aspect. Sure, I've had to reformat quite a few times, but that's part of the learning process.

Today, "regedit", along with "notepad" and "calc" is almost permanently in the top three items in the Run dialog's dropdown list.
