Windows 7 Internet Connection Sharing


//www.win7news.net/

Want to share your Win7 computer's Internet connection with other computers wirelessly? As long 
as your system's wireless network adapter supports the new Windows 7 "virtual wi-fi" feature, you 
can do it. Intel, Broadcom, Realtek and some other NIC makers provide drivers that support this 
feature; you'll need to be sure they're installed. Then do this: 
Open an elevated command prompt by right clicking the cmd.exe link and selecting "Run as Administrator." 
In the command window, type: 
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=MyNet key=MyPassword 
(replace "MyNet" with the name you want to use for the wireless network 
and replace "MyPassword" with your chosen password for accessing it) 
Press Enter. 
Now type: netsh wlan start hostednetwork 
Press Enter. 
Open Control Panel and go to Network and Sharing Center. 
Click Change Adapter Settings. 
Right click your Internet connection and select Properties. 
Click the Sharing tab. 
Check the box that says "Allow other network users to connect." 
Choose your virtual wi-fi adapter and click OK. 
Now wi-fi enabled computers within range should see your new wireless network and others can 
connect to it if they know the password.

Windows Explorer - Disable Full Row Select


//www.winhelponline.com/blog/disable-full-row-select-explorer-windows-7/

This has other advantages, such as disabling 'auto arrange', but it didn't
disable full row select using Windows 7 64 bit until I added this DWORD value:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
FullRowSelect=dword:00000000

Disabling full-row select has also disabled my custom logon screen 
(//www.withinwindows.com/2009/03/15/windows-7-to-officially-support-logon-ui-background-customization/), 
resetting it to the default.


Full row select is shown disabled in this shocking candid photo

Upgrade or Clean Install Windows 7


http://bink.nu/news/clean-install-windows-7-with-upgrade-media-the-answer.aspx
...the goal here is to clean install Windows 7 on a virgin, unused PC. You can boot and run
Setup with the Upgrade media for Windows 7, but when you go to activate, it won't work.
After performing the clean install, ensure that there are no Windows Updates pending that would
require a system reboot. (You'll see an orange shield icon next to Shutdown in the Start Menu if this is
the case).
Then, open regedit.exe with Start Menu Search and navigate to:
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Setup/OOBE/
Change MediaBootInstall from "1" to "0".

Remove Libraries from Windows Explorer

originally posted here on August 22 2009.

You'll have to change permissions on this key first.

A sample .reg file:
--------------------------------------------------------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{031E4825-7B94-4dc3-B131-E946B44C8DD5}\ShellFolder]
"Attributes"=dword:b090010d

----------------------------------------------------------------

The Libraries feature of Windows 7 is for the benefit of the organizationally-challenged. Here is a picture of Explorer as God intended it after the offending feature has been excised.

After a reboot, this will hide your sissy Libraries 
while still letting you use them from:
\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Libraries
and they are still available in File -> Open and Save boxes



The 'HomeGroup' icon will remove itself if:

You didn't set up a homegroup
You stop the two HomeGroup services



The 'Favorites' link can be removed by changing the 'Attributes' dword from a0900100 to a9400100: ('Favorites' will still be available in 'File Save' dialogs) ------------------------------------------------------------------ Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{323CA680-C24D-4099-B94D-446DD2D7249E}\ShellFolder] "Attributes"=dword:a9400100 "PinToNameSpaceTree"="" ------------------------------------------------------------------
The 'Favorites' link can be renamed at: ------------------------------------------------------------------ Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer \CLSID\{323CA680-C24D-4099-B94D-446DD2D7249E}] @="Horatio" ------------------------------------------------------------------ Favorites will still work. Related keys: "\\HLM\\SOFTWARE\\Classes\\CLSID\\{323CA680-C24D-4099-B94D-446DD2D7249E}\\ShellFolder" "\\HCR\\CLSID\\{323CA680-C24D-4099-B94D-446DD2D7249E}\\ShellFolder" Different attributes give different right-click options. Changing the attribute to 10 gives the rename menu. Changing the attribute to 20 gives the delete menu, which has no effect: Favorites menu in Windows Explorer 7. Other attributes give the standard options, i.e. 'Cut', 'Copy', etc. Favorites icon: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{323CA680-C24D-4099-B94D-446DD2D7249E}\DefaultIcon] Restore favorite links icon: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{323CA680-C24D-4099-B94D-446DD2D7249E}\shell\restorefavoritelinks] "Icon"="D:\\Home\\morejunk\\NewIcons\\folder-eye.ico" You can change the icon for RESTORE FAVORITE LINKS in Windows Explorer 7.




Disable Windows Explorer search suggestions



  Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer]
  "DisableSearchBoxSuggestions"=dword:00000001

  Search history is stored at:
  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\WordWheelQuery

Highlight colors in web pages with IE8


In April 1999, I found a Microsoft web page:
http://web.archive.org/web/19990508113656/http://microsoft.com/windows/Ie/WebAccess/default.ASP
offering accessories for IE5. One that I've used ever since
is 'text highlight', but I've added cyan and fuschia...which
are easy to change to normal colors.

The .reg file:
----------------------
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt\Highlight - Cyan]
"contexts"=hex:10
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\WEB\\highlight-cyan.htm"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt\Highlight - Fuschia]
"contexts"=hex:10
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\WEB\\highlight-fuchsia.htm"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt\Highlight - Yellow]
"contexts"=hex:10
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\WEB\\highlight-yellow.htm"

----------------------

The default location was c:\windows\web. Each color has it's own
.htm page in this folder. Here is the .htm for cyan:

<HTML>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" defer> 
var parentwin = external.menuArguments;
var doc = parentwin.document;
var sel = doc.selection;
var rng = sel.createRange();
var str = new String(rng.text); 
rng.execCommand("BackColor",0,"CYAN");
</SCRIPT>
</HTML>

Using notepad or a reasonable facsimile, change CYAN to
whatever and save it using the filename in the .reg file above.

Changing default Windows 7 icons


  In regedit, go to: 
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\Shell Icons 
  ...you'll probably have to create the key 'Shell Icons' (with a space) 
  New -> String Value where 'String Value' is the path to the icon 
  0 = Default icon 
  1 = Default document 
  2 = Application 
  4 = Active folder in Explorer and Regedit 
  29 = Shortcut overlay 
  28 = Share overlay 
  34 = Desktop icon 

  ------------------------------------------------
  Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\Shell Icons]
  "4"="D:\\Home\\morejunk\\NewIcons\\icons-XP-otherpeoples-2005\\FushiaFolder.ico"

  --------------------------------------------------
  This will also change the active folder icon in regedit.exe


Windows 7 default active folder icon can be changed



Windows 7 logon UI background customization


<//www.withinwindows.com>
First, a check is made to determine if the customization functionality is enabled or not. More 
precisely, a DWORD value named OEMBackground in the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows
\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\Background key is checked. Its data, of Boolean 
type, defines whether or not this behavior is turned on, i.e. 1 for enabled, 0 for disabled.
Afterwards, if customization is enabled, the primary monitors screen height and width are 
retrieved via calls to GetSystemMetrics. These values are used in the computation of the 
screen width (w)/height (h) ratio. For example, my desktop resolution is 1920×1200. The 
ratio, computed by the division of w/h, is 1.6:1.

The result of this computation is looked up in an internal table that drives what image to load 
on disk. Although I dont have a large enough monitor to test, it appears resolutions higher 
than 1920×1200 will force the loading and zooming of an image of closest compatibility (i.e. 
same ratio, smaller image).

As this is an OEM feature images are derived from %windir%\system32\oobe\info
\backgrounds. Like the registry value, this folder may not exist by default. The following files 
(sorted by width-to-height ratio) are supported in this folder:

backgroundDefault.jpg 
background768×1280.jpg  (0.6) 
background900×1440.jpg  (0.625) 
background960×1280.jpg  (0.75) 
background1024×1280.jpg (0.8) 
background1280×1024.jpg (1.25) 
background1024×768.jpg  (1.33-) 
background1280×960.jpg  (1.33-) 
background1600×1200.jpg (1.33-) 
background1440×900.jpg  (1.6) 
background1920×1200.jpg (1.6) 
background1280×768.jpg  (1.66-) 
background1360×768.jpg  (1.770833-) 
NOTE: Images must be less than 256kb in size. Thanks for pushing me to investigate, Jay C.

The backgroundDefault.jpg image is loaded and stretched-to-fit when a resolution/ratio-
specific background cannot be found. The other resolution/ratio-specific files are self-
explanatory. If the background cannot be loaded (e.g. image physically too large, incorrect 
ratio, etc.), the default SKU-based image is loaded from imagesres.dll. Youll see a Windows 
Server-themed grayish background in there, too, suggesting this functionality is not specific 
to client SKUs.

Temporary Internet Files in Windows 7 with IE8


I keep Temporary Internet Files on a RAM disk, so to view the 
folder contents, I have to run a batch file containing:
attrib /D /S -S -H z:\*
It will only work for me after I've opened the browser for the first time, because
the folders aren't created until then. If you're a normal person who keeps TIF files
where Microsoft told you to, you might be able to run it at startup.

TIF cookies aren't the only place They use to watch you. Another 
method is 'Flash cookies'; those settings, for your personal
computer, can only be changed by visiting the adobe website:
//www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager03.html
Thanks, adobe!
