Win2000 Registry Application—The Nineth Strategy for Registry Use


Win2000 Registry Application—The Nineth Strategy for Registry Use


1. Modify the start menu and taskbar

The registry item changed this time is under HKEY_CURRENT_USER. If you want to only target a certain user, you only need to modify the corresponding key value under HKEY_USERS\user code (such as S-1-5-21-448539723-113007714-842925246-1000).

1. Disable the up and down drag on the Start menu. Create a new DWORD named NoChangeStartMenu under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer, and then assign it to: 1 (0x1)

2. It is prohibited to change the taskbar and start menu settings HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer, create a new DWORD named NoSetTaskbar under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer, and then assign it to 1 (0x1)

3. Do not keep records of the recently opened documents
Create a new DWORD named NoRecentDocsHistory under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer, and then assign it to 1 (0x1)

4. Disable personalized menu
Create a new DWORD named Intellimenus under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer, and then assign it to 1 (0x1)

5. Disable user tracking function   Create a new DWORD named NoInstrumentation under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer, and assign it to 1 (0x1) that is
PS: The user tracking function is a function of the system to track the programs used by the user, the paths navigation by the user and the documents opened by the user. The system uses this information to customize Windows functions, such as personalized menus, etc.

6. Add the option of "Run in a separate memory space" in "Run"    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer Create a new DWORD of MemCheckBoxInRunDlg under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer, and then assign it to 1 (0x1)
PS: By default, all sixteen-bit programs run as threads in a single shared VDM process. In this case, these programs share the memory space allocated to the VDM (virtual DOS machine) process and therefore cannot run simultaneously. Our setup is to allow users to run sixteen-bit programs in a dedicated (not shared) VDM process. In addition, the check box is enabled only if the user enters a sixteen-bit program in the Run dialog box.

PS: By default, when the system cannot find the target file for the shortcut key (.lnk), it looks for all paths related to the shortcut key. If the target file is located in the NTFS partition, the system will use the target file ID to find the path. This setting prevents the system from parsing a shortcut key by searching for a comprehensive target drive.

8. Prevent the system from using the NTFS tracking function to parse a shortcut key. (Only for NTFS format hard disks)   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer Create a new DWORD named NoResolveTrack under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer, and then assign it to 1 (0x1)

PS: After using this function, the speed of opening the "Start" menu will slow down.
