When I double click on Registry Editor Icon in the Control Panel. It says “Access Denied”. And yes I am running as an administrator in Windows XP.

What are reasons for this?

The reason we the “tweakers” never went to this trouble is because you can simply call it up by running it from the RUN app.

click:
START, RUN, type: regedit (enter) and Viola!!

that is easier and faster than open the Control panel (after you create and install a tweak)

furthermore I have a better trick:
On the desktop I have simply created a new folder which I named “links”
or whatever you want.
Then I create many shortcuts on the desktop for apps I need like
regedit, System(cpl),CMD[DOS tools], Ipconfig, Administrative tools, Services(activate or deAct. running components w/o reboot), etc, etc,
I also created a Storage folder “SUPPORT” w subDir “Tools” where I keep all files and info pertaining to the Comp maintenance and REPAIR tools.
I also Create a shortcut on the desktop for that.

THEN…..I scooped up all the shortcut icons and dragged them into the “links” folder. so I have them readily available under ONE icon on the desktop.
I even went further to customize the “links” folder by right-Clicking on it, Properties, choose CUSTOMIZE tab, and changing the ICON using the Shell32.dll or choose a picture of your own.

Now you have ONE icon or folder on the desktop with AAAAAALLL your tools and tweaks! Forget writing and programming!!.

** also do a search for all *.cpl files Then create shortcuts for them and Also drag then into the LINKS folder.
cpl files are the Control Panels for eveything.
(Windows Search may not “Find” them for you(too powerful for dummies). so you have to go find them yourself.)

Now, what are you going to do with all this POWER!?!?!?

Probably, screw your computer beyond repair!!! Har har har!

You really want to be a SUPER TWEAKER!?!?

open the cpl files with notepad and Go for it!
I have replaced the Windows Logo with my Company’s logo in the Explorer window so no matter what folder or page I am on; I never see the Windows logo by MY OWN that’s like buying a Custom version of Windows from MicroSoft.

That’s Power!

Chicano Power! That is… Chicanos on the MOVE in the 21st Century.

Happy tweaking! (but backup your valuable stuff. and don’t be shy!)

Thanks for this. Off mark, but how can you stop Vista from caching thumbnails and where does Vista store it’s thumbnails?

wow! I never knew where to find regedit (not even back in Windows XP, 98, 95 – was there a registry in Win 3.11? I can’t remember ). I always go start->run and type regedit.. it’s a lot faster.
