Scarthy © ® ™ Posted February 25, 2003 Report Share Posted February 25, 2003 Hi ;) ,Here's a few handy registry tweaks for XP...1 - To change the "provided by Microsoft" banner to your own personalised version in IE6/OE alter the following keys...IE - HKEY_CURRENT_USER - Software - Micro$oft - Internet Explorer - MainOE - HKEY_CURRENT_USER - Identities - {A3F...} - Software - Micro$oft - Outlook Express - 5.0Look for the "provided by" link in the right pane and alter it to what you want...see image posted.2 - To speed up the Start Menu. ie When you hover over links within it etc...Alter the following key...HKEY_CURRENT_USER - Control Panel - DesktopIn the right pane, look for "MenuShowDelay". It is set to 400 by default. Anything less will increase the speed. 200 will have a noticable improvement. I have mine set to 100.To alter keys right click them and select 'Modify'.As always Please be careful when tweaking the registry ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarthy © ® ™ Posted February 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2003 mark2...No but my nephew has had his lower. If you go too low you lose the ability to just move over links without them opening. I find 100 about right. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark2 Posted February 25, 2003 Report Share Posted February 25, 2003 I think I agree there, less than that does get a bit quick.I don't have the provided by key in my registry, probably because i never used the isp software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarthy © ® ™ Posted February 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2003 marc2If you click the "Main" key once with the left button for IE6. The list of keys appears in the right pane. The one you want to look for is called "Window Title", it is near the bottom of the list. This should say something like "Microsoft Internet Explorer" or "MS IE provided by xxx". You can pretty much put what you want here...Just right click "Window Title" and click "modify"In OE you click the 5.0 link as above and find the "Window Title" key in the right pane. Again it should say either "Outlook Express" or "Outlook Express provided by xxx".Hope this helps ;)...You may have to restart for these changes to take place. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
