Because the role of the registry is very powerful, some functions that cannot be implemented by conventional methods can sometimes be modified to implement the registry. Here I have compiled some operation techniques for using the method of modifying the registry to implement personalized objects. I hope these contents can play a role in attracting the brink.
1. Personalized recycling station
We know that there is a "recycling bin" icon on the Win9X desktop. Many friends with personality want to try to "package" the recycling bin, hoping to give it a more "artistic" name. However, in the Windows system, the "recycling bin" cannot be renamed by ordinary name change. So, do we have another way to change the icon on the desktop to the personalized name you like? The answer is of course yes. With the help of the registry, we can quickly complete the "face-changing" work of the recycling bin. The following are its specific operation steps:
1. First enter the regedit command in the run dialog box to open the registry editor operation window;
2. Then in the pop-up registry editor, use the mouse to open the folder "HKEY-CLASSES-ROOT", open the "CLSID" folder below it, and open {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E};
3. Next, we use the mouse to open the "SHELLFOLDER" folder. At this time, there will be a blue label in the window on the right that says "ATTRIBUTES". Double-click this icon, delete the old key value and click the "OK" button. At this time, we can return to the desktop to give the recycling station a personalized name.
4. In order to prevent this name from being changed by others, we can change the original key value to "40010020" in the above method, so that our personalized name will not be changed on the desktop.
2. Personalized default web page
People who have used IE have encountered "Cancel operation" prompts, as well as "Web pages cannot be used offline", "Warning: The web page has expired", etc., but have you noticed what is displayed in the address bar when the prompt page appears, and the URL is "about:xxxxxxx". About is a special protocol other than "http", "ftp", "mailto", and "gopher". You can use alias to click on specific web pages, such as IE's blank pages. Just type about:blank in the URL bar, and blank is the alias for the blank page.
Similarly, we can also use this principle to create similar alias to point to our personalized web address. The specific operation steps are as follows:
1. First open the registry editor operation window, and then use the mouse to expand the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoft Internet ExplorerAboutURLs" branch in the registry;
2. Then right-click the window on the right and select "New" and "String Value" from the pop-up shortcut menu;
3. Then change "New Value #1" to the name you want to give to the web page (url) you want to point to, right-click the name, and then set its value to the URL you want to point to. Be careful not to save "http://".
Of course, we can also use this method to give aliases to commonly used web pages on the hard disk, fill in the path and open it easily.
3. Text color in personalized window
Although the "Display" dialog box of the Windows system provides us with many solutions to customize the window color, there is nothing we can do to define the color of a certain part, such as changing the black button font to red. At this time, the "registry editor" will come in handy. Here are its specific operation steps:
1. First open the registry editor operation window, and then use the mouse to open the "HKEY-CURRENT-USERControlPanelColors branch in turn;
2. Then in the right window corresponding to the Colors branch, change the key value of "Bottontext" to "25500" (red RGB value).
3. Close the "Registration Editor" and restart the computer. The above settings will take effect.
4. Personalized shortcut icons
In order to quickly start programs or access files, many users often create shortcut icons for these programs or files on the desktop. In the future, just double-click the shortcut icon to quickly access the required objects. However, under default settings, a small arrow will be added to the lower left of all shortcut icons to distinguish the official program icons. Of course, if you have a "cold" with the small arrow in this shortcut icon, you can remove it yourself:
1. In the open registry editor operation window, you can open the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTlnkfile key branch in turn;
2. In the right window corresponding to the lnkfile key name, find a subkey named "IsShortcut". This key value is used to set the shortcut for the Windows program;
3. Delete the "IsShortcut" subkey to remove the small arrow in the shortcut icon of Windows programs.
5. Personalized display menu
As you all know, the default menu display of Win2000 is a "fade-in" effect, which is quite novel! However, under this effect, the display speed of modifying the menu is not obvious. So is there a way for us to personalize the speed of the menu display according to our own requirements? plz follow me:
1. Right-click on the desktop and select "Properties". The "Show Properties" window will pop up, and then under the "Effects" tab, change the "Fake-out effect" to "Scroll effect" on the right of "Animation Display Menu and Tooltips" to "Scroll effect".
2. Next, open the registry editor and find the HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelDesktop branch. Double-click the item with the key value name MenuShowDelay in the right window. The value range of this item is 0~100000 (unit is milliseconds). Next, change the default value to 0 or 400.
6. Personalized display of desktop
If you are a Win2000 user, you must know that after the system installation is completed, Win2000 will display the version number on the desktop by default, such as "Win 2000 Professional Pre-release (2031)", which makes people feel uncomfortable. If you want to make the installation desktop of Win2000 unique, we can hide it:
1. In the registry editing window, access the HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl Paneldesktop key branch in turn;
2. In the right window of the corresponding desktop key value, find a DWORD value named "PaintDesktopVersion";
3. Double-click the key value with the mouse and change the value of the key to "0" from the pop-up window, which will make the version number disappear on the desktop. (Source: China Computer Education News)
