Registry Hacks

I just rebuilt my laptop last night, and after 10hrs of installs, I’m finally back to a ‘usable’ state.  One of the things I had forgotten about, that I take for granted was all of the registry hacks that I was used too. Basically, these hacks were ones I made so that additional options would show up when I either right-clicked on a folder or a file, in explorer.

DISCLAIMER
DANGER WILL ROBINSON! DANGER!!!
Modify your registry at your own risk. If you hose your computer, I am not responsible.

Ok, so here are some of the keys I just added, and a brief explanation of what they do. They point to additional tools and utilities, so you may need to modify the paths to fit your system. I’ll list all of the keys at the end, so you can create a .reg file, and import them.

1.)This key allows you to right-click on a COM dll, and register it, just like you ran regsvr32 against it, from a command prompt.

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dllfile\shell\Register\command]
@="regsvr32 /s %1"

2) Same as above, except un-registers the dll.
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dllfile\shell\Unregister\command]
@="regsvr32 /u /s %1"

3)Register a COM .exe
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\Register\command]
@="regsvr32 /s %1"

4)Un-Register a COM .exe
 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\Unregister\command]
@="regsvr32 /u /s %1"

5)Right-click on a .NET assembly, and install in the GAC
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dllfile\shell\Register In GAC\command]
@="C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft.NET\\FrameworkSDK\\Bin\\gacutil /i %1"

6)And most importantly, right-click on a folder, and open it’s path in a  command prompt.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Folder\shell\CMD Here\command]
@="cmd.exe /k pushd %L "


Here are all of the keys at once. Do you have any cool hacks! Add them below in the Comments section.
Cheers!
Dave

Change max IE connections to 50, if you have high-speed Internet it speeds things up a little more:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword:00000032
"MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"=dword:00000032

Disable the automatic shares on your computer (ones like C$, Admin$):

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters]
"AutoShareWks"=dword:00000000
"AutoShareServer"=dword:00000000

And to reenable them:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters]
"AutoShareWks"=dword:11111111
"AutoShareServer"=dword:11111111

If you don't use Windows XP Tweak UI, here is a reg entry to set the Autocomplete in a command line to the tab key:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor]
"CompletionChar"=dword:00000009

FYI, the number of connections per server is specified by an RFC. By increasing that number, you're running out of spec. You most likely will never have problems with it, but you could.

This is my favorite one:

Gives you a Copy To and a Move To option in your right click menu and you can select which location to copy or move the selected file. Saves me a lot of time.

Start the Registry Editor
Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ AllFilesystemObjects \ shellex \ ContextMenuHandlers \
Right-click the ContextMenuHandlers entry, and from the menu select New > Key
Name the new key Copy To
Repeat step 3, but this time for the name (step 4) choose Move To
Change the (Default) string value found in the Copy To key to {C2FBB630-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}
Change the (Default) string value found in the Move To key to {C2FBB631-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}
Close the registry editor

Change the DVD region.
Open regedit>>Go to HKEY_LOCAL_SYSTEM/Software/Microsoft/Windows
Click on current version
Modify DVD_Region string data value to which ever region you would like. This is great for watching imports.
