    RmSvc was set to ondemand instead of Auto before, but it has been fixed since then. I will never ever use Notepadd++ again, it messed up my tweaks real bad, it took me weeks to fix. :(

    How did Notepad++ mess up your tweaks? I've been using for ages and never had it corrupt anything. Just curious what may of cause it. :g:

    2. Go to
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\find
    Delete or rename LegacyDisable
    This should still work to allow right-click search folder

    Save this in notepad as a .reg file, and double click on it.
    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\find]
    "LegacyDisable"=-

    You might want to hold off on that registry change for the moment.

    I made a few registry changes yesterday including that one I posted above just to make sure it still worked. Problem is today when I tried powering on, my PC wouldn't boot up. It would get to the Windows flag and turn off.

    No big deal, I just used Windows RE to load my registry into regedit and undid all the changes I could remember making and it booted up fine.

    But I have no idea which change was the culprit until I test it, so unless you're feeling adventurous or have a VM handy to test with, I wouldn't use that tweak.

    I just merged that edit, and it rebooted just fine. It must have been something else you did.

    That's odd because the others were just some UI stuff I've done before, titlebars, taskbar transparency, things like that.

    I'm gonna chalk it up to a typo/fat finger and forget about it.

    Hello

    The copy/paste function is faster than the cut/paste function
    Is this an option in the registry (or other) to change to have the same "speed" or can not be modified ?

    Thanks

    Good morning
    If it can be useful, I have tried to enable deletion confirmation with this registry key and it works, so that it is effective to run it is required to reboot.

    Enable confirms file deletion
    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]
    "ShellState"=hex:24,00,00,00,33,28,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\
      01,00,00,00,13,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,62,00,00,00
    Disable deletes file confirmation
    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]
    "ShellState"=hex:24,00,00,00,37,28,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\
      01,00,00,00,13,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,62,00,00,00

    ShellState contains a few more settings than just that, like a single-click or double-click to open a file, etc.

    You can simply use this for the desired effect:
    Code:
    reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer" /v "ConfirmFileDelete" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f
    taskkill /im explorer.exe /f & explorer.exe

    Thank you for this alternative command.

    It acts on the Log Policy, so you can no longer manually disable it in the trash property and you must run a batch command that crushes the initial conditions

    For me it's

    Enable
    Code:
    "ShellState"=hex:24,00,00,00,31,28,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\
      01,00,00,00,13,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,22,00,00,00
    Disable
    Code:
    "ShellState"=hex:24,00,00,00,35,28,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\
      01,00,00,00,13,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,22,00,00,00

    I think the binary value is variable in each computer so the key is not applicable universally.
    The best solution at this point is to act through the policy command as in the post of TairikuOkami.

    For me the binary value are these too. The OS is Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 x64.

    Certainly I would prefer this method because I could put this default selection in the ISO and after the user would have the option to manually uncheck.
    Instead, acting with the Policy becomes a compulsory selection.
    I only wonder if registry keys can run on all PCs.
