Windows 8.1 Registry Tweaks

I don't understand what this tweak do.

 

When you download a file from the internet and try to do anything with it you are prompted for authorization to perform the action. To eliminate this annoyance you must right click the file and uncheck "block" in file properties, or merge the above reg file to eliminate it permanently; particularly useful if one downloads alot of individual files of any type or if a particular file is referenced in runonce or other unattended command and the unblock is not enabled.

 

Only for those running SSD as their boot drive; AHCI or RAID:

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

; Disable Superfetch
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\SysMain]
"DisplayName"="Superfetch"
"Start"=dword:00000004

and for any configuration:

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

; Disable ReadyBoot
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\WMI\Autologger\ReadyBoot]
"Start"=dword:00000004

Disabling ReadyBoot did in my case solve some abhorrent issues Windows 8.1 Pro x64 had with my USB flash drives-2 or 3-and if one Disables Superfetch so should ReadyBoot be disabled.

 

I didn't have "block" problem in file properties.

 

Good, don't use the reg tweak.

hi,

lot of thanks that

useful tweak

wiki

 

Uhm, what are you actually asking for?

If you want a cleaner solution (only w8+) then something like this will do.

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmd]
"Icon"="imageres.dll,-5323"
"MUIVerb"="@shell32.dll,-37415"
;Alternative text
;"MUIVerb"="@shell32.dll,-22022"
"Position"="Bottom"
"SubCommands"="Windows.MultiVerb.cmd;Windows.MultiVerb.cmdPromptAsAdministrator"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\cmd]
"Icon"="imageres.dll,-5323"
"MUIVerb"="@shell32.dll,-37415"
;Alternative text
;"MUIVerb"="@shell32.dll,-22022"
"Position"="Bottom"
"SubCommands"="Windows.MultiVerb.cmd;Windows.MultiVerb.cmdPromptAsAdministrator"

 

yeah cleaner Shenj, thanks

I found where are the others commands as : Windows.MultiVerb.cmd

Q1 : I can't find Disable/Enable firewall, did it exist or not ?

Q2 : When i see (for example) ExplorerCommandHandler : {4ac6c205-2853-4bf5-b47c-919a42a48a16}
Is it possible to execute {4ac6c205-2853-4bf5-b47c-919a42a48a16} in another way like batchfile, scripts, c# code or etc ...

Thank you ... so much xD

 

Since Win 8.1 Update 1 metro apps have taskbar with minimize ( "_") and close ("x") buttons. As probably all of you already know, "x" actually doesn't close app, just tombstones it in RAM. To close app completely, it's still needed to grab it and pull it down and wait for close animation. So, I was wondering, maybe there is a registry tweak to change behavior of "x" button, that click of this button would closed app completely?

 

Alt +F4 might help

 

Thanks Paul, I know this useful trick Just wondering if it can be done via registry tweak.
