lblMenuShowDelay Change the speed of which menus are displayed. Changes: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop REG_SZ:MenuShowDelay Default: 400 chkAutoEndTasks Automatically kill programs at shutdown. Changes: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\ REG_SZ:AutoEndTasks Default: Disabled lblHungAppTimeout Change the delay for Windows to wait for a process to terminate on shutdown. Changes: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\ REG_SZ:HungAppTimeout Default: 5000 lblWaitToKillServiceTimeout Change the delay for Windows to wait for a service to terminate on shutdown. Changes: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\ REG_SZ:WaitToKillServiceTimeout Default: 4000 chkLargeSystemCache Enabling this will tell Windows XP to allocate all but 4MB of system memory to the file system cache, basically meaning that the XP Kernel can run in memory, greatly improving it’s speed. The 4MB of memory left is used for disk caching, but if for any reason more is needed, XP allocates more. Generally, this tweak improves performance by a fair bit but can, in some intensive applications, degrade performance. As with the above tweak, you should have at least 256MB of RAM before attempting to enable LargeSystemCache. Changes: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\ REG_DWORD:LargeSystemCache Default: Disabled chkDisablePagingExecutive In normal usage, XP pages sections from RAM memory to the hard drive. We can stop this happening and keep the data in RAM, resulting in improved performance. Note that only users with a large amount of RAM (256MB+) should use this setting. Changes: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\ REG_DWORD:DisablePagingExecutive Default: Disabled chkClearPageFileAtShutdown This tweak will tell Windows to clear the page file on a system shutdown. Changes: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\ REG_DWORD:ClearPageFileAtShutdown Default: Disabled chkSchTasks Basically, when you connect to another computer with Windows XP, it checks for any Scheduled tasks on that computer - a fairly useless task, but one that can add up to 30 seconds of waiting on the other end - not good! Stop this from happening by enabling this tweak.

Changes: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\ Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile\ REG_DWORD:EnableFirewall chkSFCDisable Here’s a quick tweak to be able to totally disable Windows File Protection, the system that prevent users from deleting system and program files. Changes: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\ REG_DWORD:SFCDisable chkZipSupport Remove the built-in Windows support for handling zip files. Changes: regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll chkAlwaysUnloadDLL Explorer often caches DLL files in memory for a period of time after they have finished being used. This can result in large amounts of memory being taken up by DLL files that are not even being used. To stop this happening, enable this tweak. Changes: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AlwaysUnloadDLL\ REG_SZ:(default) Default: Disabled chkClearRecentDocsOnExit This tweak will tell Windows to clear the Recent Documents list on system shutdown. Changes: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\ REG_DWORD:ClearRecentDocsOnExit Default: Disabled
