    If you looked at what the tweaks actually did you would realize how stupid you sound.

    You have to back up the drive letters to a reg file, and then restore it after the fact. This can be a very dangerous reg tweak if its on a different computer as it relies on hexidecimal strings of your physical HDDs. I'll also include backing up "shared folders". This tweak is pretty invaluable to me and my XBMC sharing.


    After you restore the reg tweak, you MUST reboot.
    Code:
    @echo off
REGEDIT /E "%~dp01_Drive_names_Backup.reg" "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\MountedDevices"
REGEDIT /E "%~dp02_Shares_Backup.reg" "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Shares"
REGEDIT /E "%~dp03_Shares_Backup2.reg" "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\LanmanServer\Shares"

    is there a tweak to disable "pin to start" when u right click the recycle bin ?
    every time I want to empty the recyclebin, I pin it to the start.

    When right clicking the recbin a menu appears which says: open, empty bin, pin to start, rename and properties. No automatic pin to start is done here :confused:

    I think he wants to remove the Pin to Start entry. They reversed the position of Empty Recycle Bin and Pin to Start from 8.0 to 8.1, so I can see why that'd cause problems.

    Without reading through 8 pages of reg tweaks, is there a way to get new installed apps to auto pin to start again like they did in 8 ?

    again please highlight your text and use the # button to encase in CODE so that it doesn't break the characters with spaces.
