Add Copy to Folder in context menu (First two keys) Sets Windows to automatically end task of programs which are either hanged or taking longer time than expected to exit. Decreases menus show delay time, it'll show the sub-menus fast when you select their parent menu. Disables the low disk space check so that you don't get the annoying low disk space notification in system tray. Sets Windows to not waste time in searching for a program which no longer exists in your system when you try to open its shortcut. Disables "search on Internet" prompt in "Open with" window so that it directly opens the program list. Speeds up the Explorer navigation. Adds "Take Ownership" option in files and folders context menu so that you can easily take ownership of files and folders in case you want to replace them for customization purpose. Enable Transparent Icons fixes the issue of not being able to see the icon very well on light and dark backgrounds. Adds Log off, Restart and Turn Off to Context Menu Copy and past this into notepad and name it whatever.reg and choose the save as type to All Files set the encoding format as ANSI then save it. Then double click on the reg file. Make sure you backup your registry so you can undo these if you do not like them.

There's a couple of booboos in that file, most notably the last key as you posted it. There's a space in this line that needs to be removed: that need fixing, and Windows 7 is also complaining about an invalid key. I've got all these as separate Reg files so... just pointing out that it needs to be "fixed" before a lot of people grab it. Thanks...
Great, but there are like a ton of Reg Threads. Edit: OK, that isn't exactly true. Not Registry only threads anyway. Well, maybe there are, but I got better things to be doing atm.

imma add these to my key cert branding tool its gonna be lot of work but i like installing windows activating then applying tweaks like these
does anybody has a reg tweak that lets applications stealing focus. (the default is disabled out of the box) I really hate that blinking blue thing is the task-bar when an application needs attention. I'd rather have the application come to the foreground right away. the tweak should be in a .reg file so I only have to click on that reg file after a new installation. thanks
I've always used the Regedit file from years passed to add that option but, surprisingly Windows 7 does have a lot going on underneath the hood. And I'd prefer not to have a right-click context menu with so much damned stuff on it myself. Right hand on the mouse, left hand on the keys the vast majority of the time anyway... Keyboard shortcuts FTW!!!
