You might want to get into the habit of creating a new ERD (Emergency Repair Disk) by running RDISK.EXE /S before making registry changes. I keep about 5 generations of the ERD. I also use ConfigSafe ( $35 ) to make frequent snapshots of the registry before and after making changes. I use this tool to track changes caused by new installs and configuration options (and to restore a snapshot if I or an install mess up) .

Heed the Microsoft warning about registry manipulation. DO NOT BECOME CASUAL AS YOU BECOME FAMILIAR.

Visit the Microsoft web site for new drivers, patches, and to use the support wizards.

While at the Microsoft web site, download the PowerToys listed for Windows NT (NT 4.0 and greater). Make sure you get TweakUI.

There are lots a freeware enhancements and additions such as the Distributed File System so spend some time exploring this site.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Set the DefaultDomainName, DefaultPassword (must be non-blank), and DefaultUserName. Set AutoAdminLogon to 1 (all are type REG_SZ). If you ever want to logon as a different user, hold down the shift key as you logoff.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\
Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters

Modify or Add Value of type REG_DWORD for:

MaxCmds The range is 0 - 255 and the default is 15

MaxThreads Set it to the same value as MaxCmds

You may also want to increase the value of MaxCollectionCount. This REG_DWORD is the buffer for character-mode named pipes writes. The default is 16 and the range is 0 - 65535.

Adding "open with xyz" to every Explorer right click.

You can add an new option to every right click by editing the Registry at HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\* and Adding Value EditFlags of type REG_BINARY. With the Hex button checked, enter 02000000.

In Explorer select view/options/File Types. Highlight the * entry and click the Edit button. Click the New button. In the "Action" box, type "open with xyz". In the "Application ..." box, browse to the program you wish to use. OK/Close out of the dialogue boxes.

Now, when you right click in explorer, you will always be able to "open with xyz".

To restrict this functionality to Unknown file types, perform the Registry edit on HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Unknown instead.

To undo this change:

Use regedt32.exe to navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\Shell. In the right hand pane, delete the data value from the entry. Then navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\ShellEx and delete any Value Names.
