Registry Tweaking

Before do something with your regisrtry, make sure you make a backup first.

File -> Export, and

File -> Import to reload your registry.

Here some list of work that you can do on registry :

@ Hide your hard drive
Every drive has it unique number, i.e. A=1, B=2, C=4, D=8, etc. The number of next drive is
multiplication from the number before.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER,Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer
Value Name : NoDrives
Data Type : DWORD Value
Data : Fill with driver's number that want to be hide.

@ Hide registry editor
HKEY_CURRENT_USER,Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\System
Value Name : DisableRegistryTools
Data Type : DWORD Value
Data : 0 = show, 1 = hide
If it's success a message will appear : “Registry Editing has been disabled by your
administrator”
If you want to restore it again:
Open notepad and write : REGEDIT4[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft
\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\System]”DisableRegistryTools”=dword:00000000
Then safe with .reg extension. For example, “enable_regedit.reg”
After that double click it to enable registry editor.

@ Hide RUN facility
HKEY_CURRENT_USER,Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer
\Advanced
Value Name : StartMenuRun
Data Type : DWORD Value
Data : 0 = show, 1 = hide

@ Hide Control Panel from Start menu
HKEY_CURRENT_USER,Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer

ValueName : NoClose
Data Type : DWORD Value
Data : 0 =show 1 = hide

@ Hide Folder Options
HKEY_CURRENT_USER,Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer
