Windows 10 Tweaks & Fixes

hei guys,

is there a way to create this "show desktop" button in the bottom right corner of the screen/taskbar like in windows 7/8

thanks

 

Windows 10 has the "show desktop" button in the bottom right corner. I am using windows 10 pro.

 

exactly, extreme right of the bar.

but for the icon, the link was this in 7 and 8, not tested on 10 but you can try

Code:

%windir%\explorer.exe shell:::{3080F90D-D7AD-11D9-BD98-0000947B0257}

EDIT : just tested, it works. Create a shorcut with this link and it does the job

 

help

please someone can help:
post number #582

question number 2: how i can add sidebar gadgets? (i found a dir about here: C:\Users\(User Name)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Sidebar)


Thank you so much to everyone who want help me!

 

You need to login to view this posts content.

 

so i need third-party software. Thanks dude!

 

The link is already present in w10 just like in the previous windows, it is in the quicklaunch folder. Just enable quicklaunch or open the folder and copy the link somewhere else.

 

You can use the files taken from vista, but 7sidebar is way easier to install

 

... or just use the extreme right of the taskbar ...

 

another question

sorry guys, i've another question.

I'm on win10 pro x64 but i've problems with jump list. I can pin only 13 links.


Option from task and menu properties like win7 is disappeared


I found a solution on web for increase the number from the regedit:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

value dword32bit "Start_JumpListItems" and add a number between 0 to 60

but it doesn't works. Damn, is it a win10 bug or what?

 

Can i uninstall cortana?

 

Have a look at TNBT thread

 

Use LTSB Enterprise version. You can find links in the stickied SVF Repository post.

 

can i change the background color of File Explorer without installing themes (with registry maybe)

 

Keep your tweaks and customizations after a reboot or Windows Update
​

A problem I had ran into was that some of the registry tweaks would require me to re-run them either after a reboot or after a Windows Update (the all folders reappearing in Explorer is a good example). So by using Task Scheduler I can have it set to launch my bat file that reimports my registry tweaks every time I login from a reboot, or just login from a logoff. And also do it with elevated Admin privileges and without an UAC prompt.

Create a bat file that imports your reg tweaks, eg.

Code:

REG import C:\PATH\TO\TWEAKS1.reg
REG import C:\PATH\TO\TWEAKS2.reg

Name it something like Tweaks.bat and save it somewhere,like maybe
C:\Windows\HiddenPr0nStash
or whatever

Next create a new text file and insert the following into it:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<Task version="1.4" xmlns="h t t p :// schemas. microsoft. com / windows/2004/02/mit/task">

  <Actions Context="Author">
    <Exec>
      <Command>C:\PATH\TO\Tweaks.bat</Command>
    </Exec>
  </Actions>
</Task>

Remove the spaces from
"h t t p :// schemas. microsoft. com / windows/2004/02/mit/task">
since I have too low a post count

Then Change
<Command>C:\PATH\TO\Tweaks.bat</Command>
to point to your actual bat file that has your reg imports.

Then save it as something.xml

Then either fire up Task Scheduler and import it in or better yet from a command prompt:
schtasks.exe /Create /XML "C:\PATH\TO\something.xml" /tn WhatEverYouWantToNameIt

 

Anyone have the info about what the option to disable the automatic HWID registration with Microsofts servers was?
I know it was in one of these threads but can't find it anymore

 

how do you plan to activate then? or activation isn't needed for you?

 

hey guys,
just removed some apps also the photo app
now windows open pictures in paint, not a big problem but cant do diashow
i just readed days ago that there is a way to enable win 7 photo viewer (you know what i mean)
would be awesome if someone can post it how to do
thanks

 

It's just for testing, I don't want M$ to block my machines HWID just because I make allot of reinstalls...
