Configuring the Registry Size Limit (Windows NT/2000/XP)
The Registry Size Limit, or RSL, controls the total amount of space the may be consumed in paged pool memory and disk space by registry data. The RSL is a kind of "global quota" for registry space.
Control the Display of Popup Error Messages (Windows NT/2000/XP)
This tweak is used to control which error messages are displayed as popups, and also allows you disable the use of popup error dialog boxes entirely.
Change Foreground and Background Task Priority (Windows NT/2000)
This setting is used to manage the relative priority between foreground and background applications, this is normally accessed through Control Panel > System > Performance.
Change the Number of Spare Stack Pages (Windows 95/98/Me)
Windows sets aside a number of extra memory pages (spare stack pages) to be used temporarily to prevent a system "crash" due to a stack overflow condition. Sometimes all the spare pages can be used, and an error message is shown, this tweak allows you to increase the number available.
Use High Memory for DOS Drivers (Windows 95/98/Me)
This setting causes Windows to load the local DOS devices into high memory and freeing up more low memory for DOS applications.
Disable Task Manager (Windows NT/2000/XP)
This setting controls the ability for users to start Task Manager and view processes, running applications and make changes to the priority or state of the individual processes.
Hide the Active Directory Folder in My Network Places (Windows 2000)
This restriction is used to remove the Active Directory folder from My Network Places. This still allows users to search but not browse the Active Directory.
Change the Number of Active Directory Search Results (Windows 2000/XP)
This setting specifies the number of search results to be returned from a Active Directory query. This allows you to increase or decrease the default 10,000 objects.
Show Filter in Active Directory Search Results (Windows 2000/XP)
This setting controls whether a filter box, which allows you to filter based on additional parameters, is shown above the Active Directory search results.
Show Run in Separate Memory Space Option (Windows 2000/XP)
This setting controls whether the "Run in Separate Memory Space" option is shown in the Run box, which allows you to run 16-bit programs in a dedicated Virtual DOS Machine (VDM) process.
Open and Save Dialog Box Customization (Windows 2000/Me/XP)
These settings allow you to remove the places bar, most-recently-used (MRU) list and the back button from the common dialog boxes.
Modify the Paged and Non Paged Pool Memory Sizes (Windows NT/2000/XP)
Windows normally calculates the paged and non paged pool memory sizes using complex algorithms based on physical memory size. These settings allow you to override and manually specify values.
Avoid Accidental Registry Imports with Regedit (All Versions) Popular
By default if you double-click on a file with a '.REG' extension the file will be imported into the system registry. You can change the default so it opens the file for editing instead.
Force Windows to Unload DLLs from Memory (All Versions) Popular
Windows Explorer caches DLLs (Dynamic-Link Libraries) in memory for a period of time after the application using them has been closed. This can be an inefficient use of memory on low memory systems, and may cause problems or delays for programmers developing with Windows DLL files.
Improve Core System Performance (Windows NT/2000/XP) Popular
On systems with large amount of RAM this tweak can be enabled to force the core Windows system to be kept in memory and not paged to disk.
Use an Alternative User Interface (Windows NT/2000)
This setting allows you to specify an alternate shell to use as the Windows user interface instead of the default explorer shell.
Specify the Program to Play Inserted Audio CDs (All Versions)
This value is used to specify which program should be used to play an audio CD when it is inserted and the autostart feature is enabled.
Change System Environment Variables (Windows NT/2000)
This key contains the Windows system environment variables, the variables include Path, Temp, Windir and any other defined values.
Enable Plug and Play on Windows NT (Windows NT 4.0)
Windows NT4 does not support plug-and-play devices out of the box, but it can be configured to a least partially support some PnP features with a little help.
Control the Default Virtual Machine Option (Windows NT/2000/XP)
When starting a 16bit application you have the option of running each in a separate virtual machine (VDM). With this setting you can change the default value.
