How do you add this stuff to the registry?
I pasted it all into a .reg file and it had none of it. What am I doing wrong?

did you save a text file as '.reg'? think it needs to be unicode to work, so one way to do it would be to export some key or other to a file on your desktop - then edit that file, delete everything and paste the new contents - then save/merge.
it's from a windows2000 box btw, results may vary on other OSs.

you need to make sure when you paste it into notepad, that you put "Tweak.reg" in the Save As field, or else it will save as tweak.reg.txt

You need to add:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
As the first line otherwise Windooze won't allow you to use it.
BTW, if anyone is interested in a nice full page registry tweak file formatted with instructions and info on each tweak I'll paste it here. Don't remember where I got it otherwise I would send you to the page itself.
Works quite good, I've got a ton of them enabled.

EDIT: Don't forget: DO NOT merge/apply the file right away. Look through it (edit with notepad) and comment (with a ; ) anything out that you don't want to enable.

er, that line does noting... as formatted above in a text document with the extention changed to .reg will work fine.

just had to spend about 15 minutes googling/remembering enough DOS to do this, so in the unlikely event that it's useful to anyone else:
Code: Select all
@ECHO OFF
SET buffer=%1
:SWAPSLASH
FOR /f "tokens=1* delims=\" %%a IN ('ECHO %buffer%') DO (
IF NOT [%%b]==[] SET buffer=%%a/%%b
IF NOT [%%b]==[] GOTO SWAPSLASH
)
)
ECHO %1 = %buffer%
should replace all the "\"s in a string with "/". handy if you're sending stuff over to a *nix box.
